donbee Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 I saw the new Vader TIE vs A wing set. Looks kinda cool, but was disappointed that there's two more OT ships. How many Vader minifigs are there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All signs point to buy and flip before/during Euros. Even if there are more in a warehouse, so many are being shipped internationally to meet global demand for regionally available items. Mine should be crossing the Atlantic this week 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donbee Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 I stopped in a target far from home. Grabbed the lone 70228 for 13.98 But passed on the 70135 at 50% off. I only like my Chima below 50% 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donbee Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 As much as I hear people dump on TMNT, I can never find any sets. I picked up one Krangs Lab for 50% at a booksmillion in January. Other than that I've only seen one other set at my Barnes for full price. Been waiting for it to go clearance If people hate them. Where'd they all go? I can find more LotR than I can find TMNT.

I've been surprised that I still see some on the shelf occasionally, but they are long since gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That shows how little demand there is for them. Can't find them on shelves, but prices remain low. Being a fan of the ninja turtles as a kid, I wish Lego had done a better job when they had the license. But the sets all kind of stink. If they had made a nice original style turtle van set, like they did with Scooby, it would have been a must have for me. All I really want of what they made is the main character minifigures. I won't buy the cheap Fake-o ones on eBay, but enough people will to not make it worth investing in, unless you get a super low buy in price. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exciter1 Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 I sold through all of my investment TMNT last year during the holidays. I'm very satisfied with the short-term return. My long-term outlook wasn't great, so I took the money and ran. I did find a stash of lab escapes at a Wal-Mart a few months ago and blew through those already. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMNT is comparable to Lone Ranger to me. 50% discount is ok but flip them within a year at the most for what you can get out of them.

Well, yes, I sold through all my Lone Ranger very similarly. I made good profit on the Stagecoach and Constitution Trains. Actually, I still have an extra Colby City and Silver Mine. TMNT, Lab Escape and Turtle Lair are the winners. I think I only have a couple extra Shredder Lairs to offload. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zskid00 Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 (edited) I did really well selling my Baxter Robot Rampage, Stealth Shell in Pursuit, and Shredder's Dragon Bike sets over the holidays. My buy-in price was about 30-50% off all of them though. Edited May 25, 2016 by zskid00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donbee Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 I figured the megablocks had something to do with it. I don't see them in discount, I don't see them at all. Feel like they're a sleeper set. Maybe I'll hold my one set. Lol. A small gamble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sprocket77 Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 I had an absolute field day of not buying today. There were the Turtles sets, The Shellraiser Street Chase, Big Rig Snow Getaway and Turtle Van Takedown. From Cars we had Oil Rig Escape 9486 Had pretty much all of the most recent Ultra Agents theme. Benny's Spaceship, Emmet's Construct o Mech and Super Secret Police Dropship from The Lego Movie. Lake-town Chase from The Hobbit The Lone Ranger Silver Mine City of Atlantis 7985 All at RRP, I really had to control myself and not pick up absolutely everything today 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sprocket77 Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Two shops about 100m away from each other in the same centre. There was a bit of a bang of something there alright, smelled like desperation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eventually those boxes get all beaten up and faded, making them even harder to sell on. Guess they are Telegraph subscribers and believe they are sitting on a fortune.

Val-E Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 When I think of Depp, I think of Lone Ranger. When I think of Lone Ranger, I think of Lego Lone Ranger then I want to punch MYSELF in the face. Who gets to keep the dogs though? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrickLegacy Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 I made it. A whole month without a LEGO investment purchase. So unless 50% off SSDs show up tonight, this will be my first month of no LEGO investing since September 2013. The addiction is real. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
