Hey Brian thanks so much man I'm still really new to this. Next time I will break down the sets off the receipts my self to make things easier. All of your post gave me a lot to think about and I will definitely be returning some of these sets. Its just tough to pass on a good sale. It almost feel like I'm hunting or something and kinda of gets my adrenaline going lol. Any way still need to store a lot of these and my wife is not very happy with me rite now. This is my living room.

 

Hey - you can just tell her, at least you stacked them well...

Hey Brian thanks so much man I'm still really new to this. Next time I will break down the sets off the receipts my self to make things easier.

I know what you mean about the adrenaline rush. I feel the same way when I walk into a store and approach the lego aisle, with hopes and dreams of what bargains might be had. I had to hold back on a few of the sets as well that you purchased. I reluctantly bought 2 droid escapes, only because I didn't have any. yesterday I gave one to my son since he didn't have it yet and returned the other one. it just didn't scream "investment" to me.

I bought one Droid Escape for my kid but I don't think I would've bought any for investing even at that price of 13.00, it just doesn't seem like a set that will rise as high even though the "sand" stormtroopers could probably be parted out for a decent profit.

I've already seen a number of people list the two Sandtroopers or C-3PO and R2-D2 from that set together selling for almost as much as the set itself! I can't believe it; the set was and still is readily available and people are practically paying $13+ for two minifigures when they could buy the whole thing and get four plus parts. :wacko:

Droid Escape gets so much flak around here but I really like it and the figures make it pop.  It's an iconic scene set and I jumped on a few (clearance of course).  I like the set and think it will do good.  And if worse comes to worse, as Orc King pointed out, the C3PO and sand troopers will sell nicely.

wow, that's an amazing receipt!
