The first thing you do in the morning after waking up. Oh, well this has to be the most awkward acronym in the history of ever....right after Target Inventory Tracker.

Can we nominate members for Awards? If anyone was ever deserving of The Questionnaire badge, it would be canonikon.

this week: sold 3X10221 each for $849.99 cost retail+tax= $435.99 profit ($236.50 each)

Basic human psychology dictates that someone who has multiples of any one set will think it's a winner and try to convince everyone it is. Anyone who has 0 of a set will call it a loser and try to convince everyone it's a turkey in an attempt to make themselves feel better about not having any. It's hard to get an unbiased opinion around here. It is what it is.

I think I would have just replaced that tooth with a white 1x1.

What's wrong with make $60 on a $250 investment in less than a month? If that's not worth it, I'll take it for you. Thanks Sent from my HTC6525LVW using Brickpicker mobile app

Found a lonely Valentines Dinner at Ross for $7.99, felt it best to bring it home and place it on eBay. I think that may be the first item I've ever purchased at Ross, the retail employee in me was screaming in agony at how disorganized that store was.

I bought a 10182 cafe corner for 200$ Off of craigslist. I've been flipping Legos from craigslist to eBay since Christmas and I think I'm addicted. There's so much good information on here I just want to say thanks and good job!

He traded it for some TP

SMH. This set lowest resale was 50% markup; it's now nearly x2 MSRP and continues to rise as smaller seller stock is running out. SR is stable and doing well. Most one off minifigures do well -- reference CMFs. Specifically, Series 1 : nurse. Specialized area with single unit will command a premium. By saying 60 eur = x3 MSRP is not 'a lot', That's hard to figure. None minecraft at 35$ is selling at 105$. Modulars hitting x3 MSRP takes quite a long time too. Fire Brigade still isn't there. Space Shuttle is just getting there after 3 years.

Or....

Hello everyone! Here is another project that I just submitted on LEGO IDEAS, also based on the movie Captain America: The First Avenger. Several months ago, I just posted the project Red Skull's Flying-Wing Chase on the forum. Chech this link: http://community.brickpicker.com/topic/12477-red-skulls-flying-wing-chase-my-lego-ideas-project/ For more details, please check the link below. If you like the model, please give your support. Thanks a lot! https://ideas.lego.com/projects/98141 THE STORY This project (392 pieces) features the scene from the movie Captain America: The First Avenger. After a gun fight with Captain America and Bucky in a Hydra base, Johann Schmidt turns into the Red Skull by tearing his face apart, showing the audience his new, horrible, red face. He is going to escape with the cosmic cube in his jet. Unfortunately, Captain America and Bucky fail to stop this bad guy because of the big explosion in the Hydra base. THE HYDRA JET The jet (173 pieces) is built mainly with dark grey, light grey, black and some dark red bricks. The front cockpit can open and fit one minifig, probably Red Skull himself. It has two flick missles on both sides. The three big propellers on the back of the jet can rotate freely in 360

I'd use a mega block, wouldn't want to waste Legos on a cat. Especially an off brand cat.

not sure if it's a news... received my AWD DS, code 05R5... soooooo fresh, long-life DS Edit: DS DS DS... i'm soooo drunk

It's just meant to gauge what sets are selling for in the current market. Has nothing to do with financials. Just gives a guide for others to see what things are going for.

It is the "What LEGO set did you sell today and for how much?" thread not the "what was your exact P&L analysis of such said sale" thread

Either way the man made money. As my life coach "Rickey Smiley" says "stop counting other people's money!" Be happy for him and move on.

Well, uh, that's not quite what it's intended for, but I see where you're going.

All in!

If you look deeper in the flyer some select LEGO sets will be 30% off (Monster fighters, Galaxy Squad, City, Castle, maybe more?) so keep an eye out for those.

Here is the White Fang of Eurobricks review we all have been waiting for.

Painting Easter Eggs

funny the ones that want to buy them do not find them and the ones who do not want them have end caps. Always the way

I'd love to see the Dolphin Cruiser retire. It's been out for awhile now, so it should be coming close to retiring. I think this set will surprise a lot of people once retired. Many of us were disappointed when it didn't perform as well this past Christmas like it did in 2013, which probably turned some people away from it's long term potential. Once it's gone, I think $150 is very attainable, if not a little more. That should bode well for those who got in around $50 or less. I've got a fleet of 24, and I'm kind of glad they didn't get flipped this past Christmas.

Yeah, that was the only reason I went in there. Happened to be nearby and had some time to kill waiting to pick up my son from practice.

Welcome. The best advice I can offer is to read, then read, and when you finish read some more. Also before you go on a buying binge sell a few items just to get a feel for the process. Buying is easy, selling isn't.

I have a strange feeling this theme is and will be a late bloomer. Money is there for the patient ones.

That's Fresher than some Yogurts I have in my Refrigerator.

Starts Friday, Remember to use coupon code CineplexHoliday for any orders over $40! I'll be getting a Constructo-mech for personal build

Most certainly people can voice their opinions didn't mean to sound discouraging just meant that opinions like most everything else on the Internet should be taken with a grain of salt. There are only a few unbiased opinions floating around this joint.

I have 0 of many sets and don't think they are losers at all.... I just wish I had more damn money to buy them!

I don't like this post cause I didn't write it. RI is a winner. If you don't think so, sell me yours at your cost.

I think you are right to overthink and analyse. My analysis tells me that the first 2012 wave of super heroes sets had some winners. The next waves will not be as good as the first wave investment wise. The magic is over.

Goblin King Battle...one more set in inventory left to clear. $159 CAN, after fees and shipping still a tidy profit from approx 40% discounted purchase price. Profits easily covers the Riddler Chase set for my son...he'll be a happy builder this weekend The Flash and batmobile looks really cool in the set.

Just have to find the niche, how many times do you think they would do an Artic batman? Don't think we'll see much more of war machine down the line. Sent from my HTC6525LVW using Brickpicker mobile app

Maybe 1 thread per retailer? (TRU/WM/Amazon/etc) The Walmart one has been working well, as did Target ones in the past. Or maybe just 1 "Daily Canada Deals" thread - not sure what the best option would be really.

Who among us has yet to experience the joy of stepping on a brick at 2am? And awesome slippers. https://www.yahoo.com/parenting/why-is-stepping-on-a-lego-so-painful-science-has-113434772052.html

Got 10x 10965 and left about 40 on the shelf. ....I couldn't pony up the extra dough. Found vday at Ross and picked up 2 birds 2 pencil holders 1 ToO and 3 pee. They're limiting sets at my store on that one. :(

You know who else liked Jar Jar ? Palpatine Afterall, Jar Jar was crucial in starting the Clone Wars

I just went to Ross. Got an $8 Valentine's Day and two $10 628 grey baseplates. Worth the trip; thanks for getting me off my butt Migration!

I think Benny is just about done. And it makes me sad, because I don't have any. Very cool looking retro spaceship though. Take away the goofy minifigs and you have a fun collectible for adults. Put them back and kids can go to town. It's a win-win, or would be if my Walmart had them for less than $99.99. I'm lucky if they don't mark Lego up.

Glad that works for you. I'll be able to undercut you on shipping costs, then!

NEVER ship with parcel no matter what. Priority is safer. Heard this from a USPS employee.

You mean other than 5 exclusive mini figs, arkenstone, lots of sand green bricks, gold, and most of the hobbit story wrapped into it?

Sure, no one needs to raise a stink about their 6862 Superman / Power Lex with a little crease in it (yet). But I think that - as a seller selling a $300 Diagon Alley - if you don't want to run into a "box diva" (the term we prefer), then the first responsible thing you should do is insert into your listing a simple phrase like, "box may have small crease(s) or other minor defects" ... after all, it has no effect on the value of your sale, right? So you have nothing to lose but a disgruntled customer you didn't want anyway. Just be up front about it. That way you don't have to blame the customer for sending you money and expecting to receive an, " ...unopened, undamaged item..."

Very perceptive Obi Wan! I was the best match. Had 1 left moved it to $99.95 from about $65 or somewhere in that area. It maintained best match and I thought it would sit there a while and someone bought it. But then they asked that I reverse it as they paid incorrectly, relist it and then he bought it from me again. First class buyer.

Always good to sell 38 sets in a single transaction. $1800 with postage.

Yes we did. And I managed to score a grand total of 1.
