Kenxxx Posted April 13, 2017 Posted April 13, 2017 Went to TRU for a couple smaller Nexo sets for Easter, and found on the clearance table the same Ninjago 70749 Enter the Serpent that I had passed on last week... still there. With clearance coupon + 10% off came to about $30. A bit more than I'd like to pay for a beat up box, but it's still sealed. I like the set, so I could resist no longer. Don't judge me. On the other hand, I left behind a 45009 Duplo Animal Bingo for about $13... a good price, but for such an obscure set, I just wasn't sure it would bring much profit. Another tempting item they had was (non-Lego) an FAO Big Colored Blocks set at $23. It looked like a great deal. Marked RRP $99. But weighed over 20 lbs. I didn't want to ship it, and the box was a little dinged up / might be rejected by FBA. And who knows... maybe I'm gated from selling wood blocks Had to leave it behind. 1 Quote

Expand Yeah, the closest Kmart in my area is Oconomowoc...I just have to do the Phil B move and have items sent to my local Sears, which is actually nice and efficient setup. You have shared your Shopko coupons to us before, no worries! I'm just giving LordofLego some grief. On 4/13/2017 at 10:49 PM, cladner said: and steamrollers.

Poor guy, I don't think this joke will die for a long time.It's all good. I don't mind being the punch line to a BP joke. I deserve it for going so deep on that set. I'm sure I'm not the only one who's made a regrettable purchase that seemed like a sure thing at the time. Live and learn. I have a feeling that as soon as I sell my last one the price on those things is going to skyrocket...or not. 11 Quote

The Exo-Suit...now that's one set that I'm glad I didn't follow the hoard on. I bought two. Gave one to my son and sold the other locally at cost. I escaped that money pit unscathed. Unfortunately, all of the money I saved from not buying Exo-Suits I spent on more Steam Rollers. 2 Quote
