It would nearly be a full time job for your posts alone.

I'm sorry you & your wife don't live together but congrats on the RIs.

My entry is ready

Did my good deed for the season. Went by a couple of local TRU to check their stock on 75056. One was all out, the other had 1 hidden behind a Super Heroes sets. Saw a mother looking in the spot where the kept the calendars, she walked away. I picked it up, placed it on the shelf when I knew she was looking and walked away. Walked around the corner, turned around, and watched her quickly pick it up and rush to the counter. Hopefully me passing on this one, will translate to me selling my stock for profit.

We get it. I really don't like when people make fun of Special "Ed" kids. Relax and move on...

Craziest thing... my wife was just at the TRU looking for any 75056 left. She didn't see any at first, and then some weirdo dug one out from hiding at put it back on the shelf where it was supposed to be. She snapped it up, posted it on ebay, and flipped it for $65 before she left the store.

Instead of focussing on the quantity of your posts, perhaps you could start working on the quality.

Submitted an offer of $55 each for 8 9450's for $79.99 each (make offer) listing on Ebay and the seller accepted. Ended buying 8 of them for $55 each with free shipping. Didn't expect to get them at this price. But will part them out now.

Pull that off the shelf and tell them, "I'm Ready!!!"

Yes, don't get upset if you miss a deal. There's always other deals and investments, and of course, other ways to spend your money.

You can absolutely do deals like this outside eBay, but do not use the eBay messaging system to make them. Basically, if you have something listed on eBay and you or the buyer try to take that deal off eBay, that's a violation of the agreement you made with eBay (and, in my mind, totally tacky besides -- eBay found you that buyer for that deal, they deserve their cut.) HOWEVER, once you have sold something to an eBay customer, there's nothing wrong with you or that customer contacting each other OFF eBay (like using the email address you have for him thru PayPal) to make a separate deal that has nothing to do with an existing eBay listing. eBay may have introduced the two of you via the first deal, but that doesn't mean they own the both of you for all new deals going forward.

Friends Summer Riding Camp for $150+shipping. I bought this using the 20% coupon during Bricktober getting my price down to about $70. Unfortunately it was the last one I could find around here. Now it's time to start listing my clearance Heartlake Stables and Vets.

Waayyy ahead of you:

i would monitor latest eBay price endings for your set ... list it around that much ... maybe $5-$10 more if you want to ... but also check how many competition you have ...

I am more worried about the bad reputation of the sticker's cockpit. Some buyers may be upset by this, and would be more inclined to pass this UCS (or may be ok to get one but not at a high price). Overall I would fear that it would arm the CAGR of new sets. I would even think that a used R5 in great condition (with box and instructions) with the sticker applied perfectly could be sold the same price as a MISB set. Because I'm really goofy, I would be ok with that (and maybe I'm not the only one).

Isn't being the best LOTR set sort of like being the smartest kid in special ed?

Ironically, the guy who spotted 150 TBs did not use ain't no scripts. Just plain old "well, I was just browsing walmart search results"

I agree to some extent depending on the commodity, but with a tangible product like we have, I like having some variety to keep turnover higher. Lower # of unique sets usually results in slower sellthrough.

Fire brigade's for 119.00 on Amazon for an entire year was better then tb deal. Something I see posted here and talked about quite often is '' I got this set to diversify my portfolio '' I think that's kind of silly. Would you rather have 1 of all these random sets or have nothing but hh or ssd. I personally am really narrowing my picks down in regards to the long haul. Mark Cuban said diversifying a portfolio is stupid. And he rules.

#3 made me lol and wake up the wife....got kicked to the couch. Thanks a lot!

It's not?????...what's wrong with this world?

Too many damn watchers, not enough buyers

If this stays out of stock online much longer, especially this close to Christmas, the retail store stock will disappear quickly. Just wait until the pre-Thanksgiving sale when holiday set #2 comes out.

I am between this one and Batman Arkham - I don

All my orders came with Pantene sample packs as well.

Don't do this. They know. How they know I don't know. I did it three times. Way back like 6-7 years ago. All three were caught.

This ^^^ Well said. For those of us old enough to remember growing up watching Kung Fu movies on Saturday's or just wanting to recreate a scene out of Kill Bill these sets are great.

10217 Diagon Alley $340 incl shipping

It will be good for those with the 10% back in EBay Bucks promotion that's running right now.

9465 The Zombies (new) for $215.

Welcome! From your soggy neighbor in Washington.

Does Mark Cuban get investments at 50% off?

I keep seeing references to the $150 Walmart Tower Bridge deal being the best deal ever. Was it really? Would you not have been better off spending all of your capital on Haunted Houses or Super Star Destroyers? You could have quick flipped those within 6 months for 50+% ROI, and then invested in RRP Tower Bridges if you really thought Tower Bridge was such a prolific long-term gainer. Don't get me wrong; I would have loved to have purchased a handful of TBs at $150. But it wasn't the best deal ever and there were/are better uses of capital.

Used sets and volume flipping of discounted sets is the way to go if you need to start making money now Good luck from idaho Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Brickpicker mobile app

When you look at the back, you see 3 sets, maybe you thought of 3 on the back + 1 on the front = 4 sets (but the one on the front is also on the back). Or you saw the 10230 mini modulars: '> And the back of the PS displays this one on the corner, it looks wide so you could have thought there were 4 buildings side by side instead of 3. BTW here are the back of the modulars. Feel free to check. CC: '> GG: '> FB: '> GE: '> PS: '> TH: '> PC: '> PR: '> DO: '> (now I'm done with this off-topic, lol)

I must admit I have done this a few times. 1) I hate waiting up to 2 days for the buyer to maybe accept maybe not, especially if it is already a very good price and worried someone might give a better offer of buy it now 2) Sometimes it is because the ebay bucks deal is in play and worried the buyer will take too long to accept and I won't get the 10% back 3) Makes me feel like a real man

Its almost scary how much lego is hoarded these days.

when i saw this guy's booth i was drawn to a unique and eye catching Thor action figure that i remember coveting back in 2011 when i went to comic con... what GRABBED my attention was a lego minifigure miniature duplicate of the 6" comic con exclusive action figure... YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS GUYS CUSTOMIZING WORK! it's awe inspiring. i love that double bubble gumball machine lego minifigure custom!

A bunch of minifigs sitting in a nondescript room is a pretty pathetic set, especially with the ideas label on it. Last time we saw this set it was called Palpatines Arrest. TBBT will rely on the license to sell rather than any creativity or innovation. Not a road they want to go down.

You didn't buy them? That's madness. I would have taken a 3rd mortgage on my home at that point!

Ah, ok, sorry, certainly it's because my english is poor and sometimes it's hard for me to 100% understand a post, that's why I thought that your post... ...meant "there are usually more than 3 sets on the back" (that's what I interpreted as a misinformation). IMHO there's nothing "interesting to note" (no offense) and that's this part that has tickled me ^^ because it has always been this way that Lego has displayed the back of modulars boxes, since 2008. If you had written "as usual, only the last 3 sets are displayed", I wouldn't have pointed your message. I didn't want to upset anyone but sometimes it's better to be a little rude to stop immediately rumors and speculations which are spreading online at light speed. Unfortunately it seems that I misunderstood your message, sorry for that. Well, I can't really explain what I feel with words, so let's use a smiley:

This post on eurobricks cracked me up: "also looks like a departure from the love story we've gotten in the modulars: PC: first date PR: proposal GE: Suit and dress choice for upcoming marriage TH: Wedding PS: New apartment to start a family DO: wife has run away and husband hires a private detective to find her?"

Sell them to me for 7$ each. Thats the best option.

Yeah I don't think it's gonna be a huge winner but it is an AMAZING fig if you ask me well two figs if you include groot ;)

Not really a great deal...that comes out to over $1 per piece.

So i got one hell of deal, i think even the best deal of the year for me. I managed to get 170 (yes, 170) polybags of this guy for under $5 each at my local Game Mania (Dutch Game Store). My question is: Should i flip them or keep them for longer?

I am new to the forum and look forward to lany kind of Lego information I can get. I acquire my Lego at retail, clearance sales or finding them at Yard/Garage sales. I go to sales every Saturday to look, not only for Lego, but for other non-Lego items to sell on eBay. I find mostly loose Lego parts. Recently I have had two really super Lego finds. At one sale, I found a plastic trash bag full of unopened factory bags of Lego parts. Recognized them as parts of a 31313 EV3 Robot set. Asked how much? Guy says 10 bucks. I say "sold." Took it home and poured the bag out. It turned out to be a 100% complete EV3 with all parts sealed in poly bags like they left the factory including instructions, decal, computer module, motors, etc. It looked like someone opened a new EV3 and dumped the entire contents into a bag and threw the box away. The other find was an 8480 Space Shuttle from 1996. It was in the box with the instructions and some of the parts and motors still factory sealed. Paid $10 for it. This In itself this was a pretty good deal. To make a long story short. Although I didn't know it at the time, I found out the guy who owned the set and sold it to me was retired Shuttle Astronaut Scott Parazynski. If known that at the time, I would have asked him to sign the set. Now that would have been the ultimate set for my Lego collection. Anyone else have any interesting Lego finds?

Kreo GI Joes are AMAZING. If you'e a fan of the 1980's cartoon & comic era joes of course. Also, i should clarify, i'm talking the individual figures, the building sets kind of suck. Also the most recent round of sets are decent (the terror drome is awesome), but not lego quality.

If anyone here is a 30 Seconds To Mars fan, then this video is a must see. If you don't know who 30 Seconds is....watch and you will like! Sorry, I'm not talented enough to copy the video here, just a link. nvm.......
