Popular Post brickvoyeur Posted December 7, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 7, 2022 (edited) Quote I'll read the Nightmare Before Christmas story this year, kids. Twas the night before Clearance And all through the aisle Steamrollers were packed Into my cart like a pile Exo Suits were hung In the storage with care Knowing that in a decade They still will be there Sergeant Jyn Erso was nestled Deep under my bed With terrible proportions And a face that looks dead Wonder woman in her armor And cheetah in her cap The lasso of truth will tell you That this set is pure crap When out on my doorstep A noise shook me awake ShopJustice still delivering Olaf Flat as a pancake Faster shipping than FedEx The turds as they came I cried and I pouted As I called them by name "Now, Dots! now, Mario! Now Lego Movie 1 and 2! On, Raiders! on, Mighty Dinos! On, Takodana and constractables too! To the depths of the dumpster! Stacked 50 feet tall Now throw away! throw away! throw away all!" Each year I make efforts To donate a bit more But Toys for tots sends a bill For returning them to my door Since I can't give them away I'll dig a big pit It's the final solution To get rid of this sh!t I shook as I laughed At the thought of relieving this pain It was nearly 3am So I looked quite insane As I poured the kerosene I cheered with delight "I'll light you on fire, So you're out of my sight" Edited December 7, 2022 by brickvoyeur 15 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have had a meal out with the proceeds rather than reinvesting in those ones though - they won´t make the same returns. Nah. I have more fallingwaters, and by the time is said and done they will bring in 140 to 200% profit. I think the Tower Bridge will do fine. Even if it doubles, i'll have turned 80 into 450 in a few years time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff_14 Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 (edited) 3 of my 4 Star Wars Phantoms for $75 CDN each in the last few weeks. Doubled my money on these after only 4 months. Raised the price on the last one by $10. One Olaf polybag for $20. Paid $5 and will make $15 profit after fees and shipping and shipping credit. Let it go, let it go........ Also sold my only 7848 Toys R Us Truck yesterday for $135 CDN. Paid $45 3 years ago. I was debating whether or not to open this now that my modular/city display is growing. Might have to buy the open and used one from my son's friend now. I can afford a fair used price after selling the new one for 3 times what I paid.

Vader888 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 I capitulated and sold my one of two 10188 sets today. Local buyer for $620 CAD. Not a big profit, but my buy in was low and all this talk of the new set being a rehash of 10188 spooked me. I started off just into building and collecting....but the buying part became fun and addictive due to the hunt for deals lol. I'm undecided about opening and build my last 10188. I honestly think the set is mediocre. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNH1974 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Finally a 853373 Kingdoms Chess sets for £80. I've been trying to get rid of this for a year. This set has been a disappointment in terms of resaleability. Do I buy any of the Pirates chess sets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sold my last 2 Kingdoms Chess sets at a small loss once postage and fees are taken into account. I wish I sold them 2 years ago when they were worth more. Pirates chess sets? No way for me unless >50% off ;-) To be honest, I've not paid over half RRP for anything recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowtot Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 I got lucky really, and randomly noticed about 12 months ago that the going price on Amazon was like £115, I didn't buy many, think I had 4, but unloaded them all then and there. I have bought 5 Pirate chess sets though just in case a similar trend happens. If it doesn't its one of those things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Helmet Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 I wish I bought more kingdoms chess sets. The have been going for $150 on Amazon consitintly. If the pirate set retired last year when the rest of the line did I would have high hopes for it but I'm questioning it now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNH1974 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 I've just done a price check on 40158 Pirates Chess Ebay BIN price is £40-55 but it seems to be a VERY slow seller. So I may give it a miss, plenty of other sets at that price point that are more popular. Getting back on topic, todays vintage sales are: 6880-1 [Surface Explorer (1982)] £16 6881-1 [Lunar Rocket Launcher (1984)] £15 6842-1 [Small Space Shuttle Craft (1981)] £5 6824-1 [Space Dart I (1984)] £9 6844-1 [Sismobile (1983)] £7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This set has been a disappointment in terms of resaleability. Do I buy any of the Pirates chess sets?Me? I wouldn't. That set has been on sale on LEGO Shop at Home for something like 6 months now. It is not moving at all, imo. I'd avoid. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
