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...

richiej1979 Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Sold Davey Jones, found him in a load of random Playmobil we got at a charity shop, so no buy in. Really sorry to see him go. Sold for £55 on ebay, £44 profit after fees and postage. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took me about 2 weeks of researching and double checking to make sure he was real. He's the main reason we started looking at Lego investing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And people said Pet Shops wouldn't bring in much money. Bah, I say! As is argued plentiful here: buy-in is key ! For the ones who bought Pet Shop at RRP when it was about to retire there's no meat on the bones at that price. But a buy-in at > 50% discount from RRP is a no-brainer still for the Creator Expert Modulars. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyposterfan Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Discounts (more than say £20) are quite hard to come by on Mouldars / Creator Expert sets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheese Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Hard to find but such offers do exist. TRU last year had 20% off all Lego during one weekend. That along with TRU £20 off giftcards which we’re still valid at time of the promotion meant that I was able to pick up a Brick Bank for £76 and a Ferris Wheel for £116.

I got the brick back at SaH for -20% and 3 Christmas promos that I sold for £40, but I wouldn't really consider that half price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No point in buying them for less discount and certainly not from SAH. Last one I paid full price for was TH because it had already retired and at that time you could make money on them paying full RRP. Not happened since and probably won´t again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pet-Brick-er Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 four digits club: 4207 for 180 euros shipped, 1 euro eBay fee. Last one, bought at 50% off 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshB Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Sold a Chima Fire Temple for $130 shipped (can't wait to offload these). Bought at half off. Sold a Coast Guard Patrol 60014 for $125 shipped. $50 buy-in. Now I need to get around to dumping the 15+ Nindroid Mechdragons that I have back from my rookie days of investing in LEGO when I would buy every set that was on clearance 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary81 Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 8x 40165 Wedding Favour set as a job lot £45 after fees. Buy in was 30 pence each as a result of some complimentary points from SaH and a £10 lego shop voucher I got through the post before Christmas. Thought I'd get them gone rather than waiting around - as the new version is better! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
