dcdfan Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Hoping to get some expert opinions: I've been offered an open box of this set for $150. It supposedly has 28 bags, 3 books, 8 grey plates, and 4 blue plates. I'll be checking when I see the set, but are the contents correct? I've read that the set should have 5 blue plates, while I've read in other forums that there are 4 blue plates . Can anyone advise what the correct count is? Also, is $150 a fair price for an open box? Thanks. I'd take that deal. You can check you tube for an unboxing video... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost a hundred off, I'd buy it:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TabbyBoy Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 23S6 on the shelf in John Lewis (Reading), the first time I've seen one there this year and several people picked it up and looked at it. Seems like there's a lot of interest and I think this has got a long time to go yet. I know I was stupid for buying all mine in 2012 rather than now but, my patience will be greatly rewarded when the time comes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpinemaps Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Check the Number of Sealed Bags thread. Myself and at least one other person posted the contents. Actually, just found the photos. You should have 5 blue plates. But 28 bags are correct: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThRok Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 @alpinemaps thanks for the pics, these are really helpful. It turned out that the 5th plate was stuck to one of the others. I decided to go for it, but the odd thing I noticed was that the two blue 2x4 smooth tiles were attached to one of the blue plates. I checked the bags but they all looked sealed? I'll have to inspect the bags a little closer to see if they were re-sealed... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

labfreak7 Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Just picked up two of those for 150 also. Not the best deal, not the worst either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThRok Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 As I suspected, two of the bags were cleverly trimmed and resealed with a heat sealer. Of course, not a peep from the seller. All well, I guess I'll have fun building this and just hope not too many pieces are missing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
