mrrobot Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 (edited) would have picked up a tower of orthanc at target online but the brickpicker notified me way too late. (anyone know why it does that?)I had just happened to check target while they were in stock but missed out by less than a second. I then timed the notification and it came 10 minutes too late.

MarleyMoose Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Was up in NH today picking up a CL lot and decided to stop by a B&N. I saw but did not buy any of the new Nexo Knight sets they had. I know they are released from Lego.com Jan. 1st and they're selling on Ebay for hefty profit. I think it was too close to the release and I'd get stuck with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justapilgrim Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 With shopko coupons/deals can get police stations for around $60, and Rapunzel towers for $28ish, but still can't do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dinner41 Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 I am tempted to buy a few (4?) Brick Banks on-line from Lego. It seems to be a cool set and aren't modulars good investments? But then I made it a new years resolution to first read more about what to choose first before going in so much. So, I didn't buy any, yet.

If you're buying for investment (that have a history of being available for a long period), it may not be wise to purchase sets on their day of release...

Bisonadmiral Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Desert Outpost - 21121 - on sale for $45 at Walmart, original $59.98 Avengers quinjet city chase - 76032 - on sale for $59 at Walmart, original $79.54 Not sure why I didn't buy. Think my only reasoning was I don't like Minecraft or Marvel that much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrickLegacy Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 TRU cancelled all of my Cantina orders from a few weeks back. I figured it was just phantom stock. Anyone actually have an order fulfilled? My status was Items Located in Stock but they didn't go through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have option of buying on day of release or close to retirement, what one is getting you profits sooner. People buying brick banks now for investment are ones that want 40 or 50 and buy one every month Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheese Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Saw a couple of 21014 Villa Savyoyes in my local TRU at MSRP, but there was a big indentation on both boxes and given that the building itself and the build doesn't really appeal to me (in the event that it doesn't go well in long term and I can't get my money back) I decided instead to buy two Imperial Hotels with 10% off, since the set appeals to me more and would love to build it and have it on display.

staggs9696 Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Hesitated on a couple of 79016 (hobbit — attack on Lake town) for 20€ a piece. Then figured I'd have a hard time selling them and I don't want to stock sets I don't want to expose for too long so I just passed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
