To end the Tumbler sold saga with that customer after USPS killed it. He ended up messaging me and decided to keep it. So all good. YAY!

Checking BL the HH stocks are well below FB and GE, Ebay, and Amazon listings follow suite, of course who knows what will come out of the woodwork as the price rises. BL numbers are staggering with a HH to GE ratio of 1:4

He probably got sent to work on the Elves line, poor b@stard.

NMM it took 2+ yrs for you to find this thread?

I promise it wasn't me. I don't have any sets up right now.

well to be fair you did tell people

Maybe this has been pointed out already, but if you go to LEGO Shop at Home and look under "Themes" Monster Fighters is no longer listed. I know I looked a few days ago and it was still there.

Hmm, let's see how Becko fares against The Mangler.

Who's going to drop his MISB 10179 in there?

I almost missed out on this. Got only one on backorder. Was too greedy trying to wait till October for double VIP points. BTW it's unlikely to come back, except for a few short minutes now and then. Lego is not keeping any for Halloween either. If they can sell now why keep it to sell later if there would be no additional benefits to them? Before May 4th people also hoped that Lego was keeping some SSDs for the sale, but that didn't happen.

DANGIT! Again why sleep is overrated.

You've been missing lots of posts lately, sir...

I think anybody who sells there Haunted Houses to make just $60 or so is making a huge mistake, why would you even think doing that would be a wise deal. Wait a year or so and should bring in big bucks, as you will never see this set ever again. But everybody has there point of cracking to make a few bucks on hold on and make big money. Ed

I have paid above MSRP(sometimes 4 Xs MSRP) many times for quality LEGO sets and they have never disappointed me.

I would move on to something else, while monitoring availability of HH at LEGO Shop at Home. though I am a noob in this game

Yep, I would think they have predetermined production and sales goals for a set, and when they sell through them all then great. Trying to produce just the right amount of a set so that it lasts through a certain date but doesn't have too many left over afterwards just seems impossible to coordinate through such an enormous supply chain.

That is an old code (which is good).

Castle, werewolf, mummy and swamp creature for $260. Same as above + scientist + hearse for $400.

Right. This set can be around at retail for months, but the Double VIP points is a great time to buy it. There is also a possibility of Triple VIP in late November, but as we all know, sets retire quickly in some cases and your opportunity evaporates. The Haunted House was a good example of this.

The box is not huge (about 500 pieces, ok some are big) and minifigs are not very interesting. I think the ceiling price will be about double MSRP (120/130

In for (2) Santa's Workshops this morning. I hope to acquire about 20 of them.

I'm holding a dozen. Sell in December if the price hits 100 again or hold long term if not. I started out with over 50. That was a fun ride

Whatever it is... it is disappointing over 9000!!!

You should have used your avatar inside your reply. ^^

So that`s what Ed`s place looks like.....

Yay! Congrats

My account is still verified. It just has a limit on it, too. Maybe also in your case by chance a card expired without anybody noticing - besides paypal... Or maybe paypal just checks a bit stricter now and the three accounts reported having this issue here today are not a coincidence. Sounds more likely when put this way.

I clicked on the link "You've reached a limit for how much you can send, receive, or transfer. See how to lift your limits." in the prominent message when you log in - and then on "remove limit" on the next page: To lift your $500.00 USD monthly withdrawal limit, you must complete two of the three steps below. - Confirm your Social Security Number - Confirm a bank account - Link and confirm your debit or credit card

I still can't wait until those crates of SSDs reappear.

Note re: Spaceman promos. If you get one with a backordered set, the Spaceman box will ship by itself in a bubble envelope. It doesn't pancake as nicely as Lone Ranger Cavalry sets, but you can expect some box damage. Getting it with an in-stock item avoids this problem (if you have multiple items you want, I would buy the in-stock items to combo with Spaceman and wait for a polybag promo to combo with backordered sets).

Back in stock? I want it gone.

Looking good Cig. I prefer number 2 but that is personal of course. The color I like alot, it is very stylish! Perhaps a small unconspicious decal on the side. What contact data you put on it?

yeah, what he said. that box size is good.

I wish I could have emazers confidence when it comes to the SSD.

Why? Because a few sets are remade 5-10 years after the original? We have been dealing with STAR WARS remakes since the inception of the theme and that hasn't stopped the top sets from appreciating. If you choose the right sets, you will make money.

It has been a while since I updated what I have built so here goes: August - Mini Cooper - half of it I built in the back seat of my car when I took a driving break and the other half of the set I built in my hotel. Good build, except for the size of the steering wheel and gearshift. End August/Early September - 10190 Market Street, 10185 Green Grocer and two more floors of the 10211 ***. Emporium - the picture shows a couple of missing pieces but those are in a ziploc bag on top or behind. Market Street is really a boring build and it doesn't fit with the grandeur of the other modulars. The main issue is the market, it has to go at the end of a block or with something on top of it as it looks out of place. Green Grocer is a great build with lots of interesting details and different pieces. It looks great and in my opinion has the best exterior design. Even if you don't collect/build modulars, I think that everyone will appreciate this set. This weekend was a busy one with 3 builds: My girlfriend finally finished her Tumbler, she was building one bag a day until yesterday's 3 bag finale. I can't comment much on the build other than it is a really large set and the left and right front corner panels are not secure. This is a difficult set to move around but as a display piece, it is awesome. Yesterday, I built the 4483 AT-AT. I had never built an AT-AT so I had no expectations. It's a weak build with a lot of structural issues, but it still looks good - I expect to sell this and trade up to the new one (based on the link that another member posted this week) I also built the 10187 Beetle over the weekend. First, I had to dust/clean the pieces to make sure everything was there (one minor piece missing that I don't have). It was an awkward build and fortunately Lego outlined the location of every piece in the instructions otherwise it would have been painful. I was surprised at the size of the beast but It really needs tiles to stand out so I will quickly sell this one. Time for a building break

From my (suspicious) point of view, if a buyer really wants to return something, they will do what they need to to make sure that happens. So, if they are making a bogus "not as described" claim and they want to ensure that they win, they just need to "damage" the item for it to qualify. Rather than having someone "damage" something, I would rather just get it back in as good a condition as possible to resell to someone else. All it takes is just one "new" set that becomes "used/missing parts/minifigures" to make it worthwhile to make a return as smooth as possible.

I am just going to leave this here

After many years as strictly a buyer of Lego related goods, I sold my first sets today! 2 of them to the same buyer, a Curiosity Rover and a Research Institute. A nice healthy return on both, the Rover I got a really good number on. All in all very happy! Thanks to the fantastic members here for all the advice and info I`ve learned over the last 1.5 years, very grateful to all of you!
