OK, I never had this as a kid, but it would never be a hit today, as there is no mini figure exclusives for flipping. http://youtu.be/3UXrSg0USOM2 points

It's really irritating on EBay too. I get frustrated when I'm quick flipping a polybag or something and somebody doesn't pay. The window for flipping those is usually only a couple weeks and if you have a non-payer, it's usually too late by the time you settle the EBay claim.1 point

If it's a request through eBay messages, in theory you are protected by eBay (per eBay). I've never had to test that one. In practice, I take these requests for low-price, low-fraud items but would draw the line at a large expensive LEGO set. In that case, I'd refund their PP payment and send them an eBay invoice specifying that they add the desired address to PayPal and show that as the shipping address (it's easy for a buyer to do, unless this is their first week on the intrawebz). It doesn't have to be a "confirmed" PayPal address, so long as eBay and PayPal say you're covered (which they will when PayPal sends you the payment), you're fine.1 point

weather but mainly getting worn / scraped / thrown around during transit. i can't tell you how many times packages arrived at my house with sticky labels w/ ink smears or slight tears. all it takes is one key portion of the address label (e.g. zip code) to get messed up and poof, delivery times are delayed. then buyers blame you. when using pouches, i just make sure it's placed firm and flat on the box (no air inside). another plus is the shipping pouch adds another layer of protection for keeping the box sealed.1 point

I tried to download my digital copy for Lion King, Toy Story...or something like that onto my tablet and it was a chore! Travelling with my family soon. I'm not a tech geek but thought I was tech saavy enough (wrong!)...after awhile and errors I just gave up. They should make the process easier. Ended up going to Google Playstore and paying for movies, seems expensive still even at 50% off. Old classics like Nemo etc are still expensive. HD quality of Cloudy with Chance of Meat Balls, How to Trade your Dragon and Ice Age cost me $30. Nice to be able to do cloud storage (watch it on any device using your id or download it to your device and not worry about wifi). My brother inlaw will download some free content for me lol.

Frozen was $18.87 at TRU of all places last week. I price matched at Target so I could use my redcard. But Disney movies are definitely cheaper when they first are released and sometimes Disney issues a coupon as well. I have a feeling Disney is going to rerelease Frozen in 3D with more bonus features. Hmmm.1 point

No...I hope not It's just one of those sets that seems to be setting a long time with no interest...or so it seems. We all have sets we don't like or duds and I'll gladly replace the space with another set with greater appreciation potential or sets I personally like more. Still made good net return...purchasing for under 50% off retail helps. *oh, when I said 'one set left in my inventory'...I meant ONE left of this specific set.1 point

interest hasn't declined in the least in my opinion. I sell the crap out of Ninjago stuff in my store. These aren't AFOLs. This means the sets are good investments, but they are not going to peak like the modulars, etc. They explode after retirement and then hit a peak before as a toy most parents are buying for their children, they will slow down and hit a ceiling. Doesn't mean they aren't good investments or they aren't popular. And since my store started up in Aug 13, I have sold more parted Epic Dragon Battles than any other set by far. So I am not worried in the least. EDB jumped back up to retail in an instant when it was gone this last christmas.1 point

I wasn't much of a fan of it when it was first released. My feelings changed when I saw it built in a LEGO store. I have two sets now and would love to get them moving as fast as the train in the video.1 point

No no, I have purchased a few for investment purposes, but it just isn't my favorite designed train... I just prefer others. The new 60052 looks nice, and I plan to motorize my true Ghost Train after parts arrive. I think my comment came off wrong haha.1 point

I'ld recommend buying a Cargo Train and a High Speed Passenger Train from LEGO, they will soon be retired with a new Cargo Train and a new HSP Train. Trains always jump in value, and you'll get about $30 in VIP points on LEGO.com because of 2x points.1 point

I'm so glad he popped in to set you straight on that. I'll bet you were under the horrible misapprehension that you were on eBay to try to make some money. How embarrassing to make that kind of mistake! Now you know better, and can go for the loss like a real eBay seller. People are hilarious. I can't count the number of messages I've received over the years wanting to know why some rare and valuable book published 50 years ago now costs 100 times what it did "back then". I especially like the people who contact me to tell me I'm charging way too much, because for some reason whatever they're complaining about always sells, at full price, within a few days.1 point

Take a look at the set online. Note special/rare pieces and all minifigs that way you can easily see that it is mostly there. It is very probable that a few pieces are missing despite what people say. But a few common pieces are easily replaced. I always pick a few random pieces out to check for mega blocks (not too much of a worry on a single large set) also check condition. Bite marks, play wear, sticky residue etc etc. This will give you a very good idea how cared for the set was. The better the condition the more likely it is complete and a good buy. Besides that be friendly and don't be afraid to punch out if something isn't right or the set turns out to be a basket case.1 point

I don't know, panties, once worn, tend to lose a lot of their resale value. Unless it's going to be worn by Shakira or something, you're probably better off keeping them mint in the package.1 point
