........maybe?

I could have bought plenty of 75170 Phantom, 75176 Resistance Transport Pod, 75152 Imperial Assault Hovertank for 23,25€  (50% off here) but I passed, 1 year ago I would have grabbed all of them

Passed on 4 Imperial At-St at rrp. Boxes were so so. Already have a few mint ones that I got during the sales which will tie me over

Anyone seen these in Uk?

They’ll be in TRU before too long and in large quantities like with R3. Loads of those R3’s still on shelves in my local TRU.

I passed on a few sets at a TRU going out of business sale. They are currently marked at 30% off and I’m checking in every few days for the next round of markdowns. Things are pretty picked over but I was surprised to find 42055 Bucket Wheel Excavator ($210; box is rough), 42066 Air Race Jet ($112), and 42053 Heavy Lift Helicopter ($112). I don’t know much about Technic, but these look like interesting builds. Any thoughts about a good buyin for these sets? Any worth keeping for a good personal build (do I run the risk of getting hooked on Technics?!)?

It's totally worth that price IMO. Great set.

I have no more room to build but up lol

I left a stack of LBM Catwoman Catcycle for $9 each.

21128 The Village - Placed the order realised I'm running low on funds, cancelled it and ordered Wonder Woman x 3 instead which will shift more quickly. (I hope)

41179 Queen Dragon's Rescue (any 2016/2017 Elves for that matter). They all keep reappearing on Amazon.

Amazon delivered 2x Destinys Bounty and I only ordered 1. I called them up and they said keep it and were really sorry about the inconvenience. It seems like the packer thought the factory box contained 1, not 2 sets. Of course, apology accepted!

My Aroc has gone from 'In warehouse' to 'In progress despite me calling to confirm with Lego yesterday. Worst thing is I'd made an agreement to sell it. Not happy.

You sure you're not just ordering extra shiz when you've had a few too many shandys? This is not the first, second or third time you've told us of sellers sending you extra significant sets. You must be a very lucky guy

Maybe so, but I do order a lot more than most. I think the last time was an extra Sea Cow from SaH. With all the dinged boxes Insee these days, I call it even. Are you an elephant? You have the memory of one ;-)

BTW... I'm a Sherry, Advocaat and Babycham drinker. Shandy is for lightweights.

Fair point, I did consider that when writing the post. Good choice of refreshments

I think Tabby has enough anecdotes to write a book about Lego investing. Probably include a free Doctor Who with each copy sold too.

And... 0.00000001 ETH too as a special bonus.

I've often thought about writing a book about my unorthodox yet successful methods in some aspects of my varied career.

I'll call it either:

"The lock-up at the end of the universe"

Or...

"LEGO the cryptoverse and anything"

Or...

"So long and thanks for all the cats"

Or...

"Mostly clueless"

Surely given your favourite subject matter you should always be limiting yourself to 42 of any set

I thought the last was an extra Saturn V. But who can keep track?
