CL all for $400

I sold off my TIE Fighters, X-wings, and Battle of Hoth since the prices were so high already. I have a few Y-wings, SFC Interceptor, Gungan Subs, and Falcons that I am debating selling soon. Just about everything else will be held longer. I sold the UCS Slave 1 minifigures for $90. I am keeping the Slave 1 for myself and this was a way to get it much cheaper since I will display it without the figures and I can always put a much cheaper Boba in the cockpit if I want.

This note is for sellers... I just received a minifig in a manila envelope. It was at least sent with first class package shipping, but no padding, no nothing. Just a minifig with her tool in an envelope. Paint was scraped from the face and head piece and the envelope looked like it was rammed through a sorting machine. When I ship minifigs, I always include a small craft-sized plastic zip bag and padded mailer. I thought this was standard. Please take care of your customers so they will become repeat customers. I know cutting corners to save money seems like a good idea, but it's worth a few extra pennies/order for padded mailers.

I really think there will be another "RI 2" (science adventures) not just because of the designer or the theme, but mainly because of this: '>

Just want to say "Thank you" to everyone in this thread and those who helped me through PM. I finally opened my store last Saturday and already I have had 3 orders and $180 sales. Considering I only have 110-120 lots and 3k pieces I am super happy. Couldn't have done it without you guys though especially Chinothegeeko. Brickpicker has amazing members that are willing to help if you just ask. Thanks.

Or there is always: "Use the Send an Offer button." "There is no button." "Exactly."

The big sets came already built. There are books for about 30 more smaller sets. Spongebob, **** Potter, Indy. Tons of minis. Going to be some work but I couldnt pass it up. Kid was 18 and going to college. Entering his dark age... maybe see him here in 10 years or so.

Nothing much better than a random cat in a Craigslist find.

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 sold my last Creative Tower for $75 on Craigslist.

not as good as scoring 27.5% off modulars or the recent BigW clearance..but target australia 20% sale went live..and the 20% off coupon ILOVETARGET still works on top of the sale prices! enjoy

Having a massive inventory puts them at the mercy of the market. What sets the big players apart is their delta on cost to acquire/sell, not the size of their stack.

There are some true price-setters in this game.

Found in the wild today. Atlanta area. I cleared out my TRU (Sandy Springs). When scanned, it said item wasn't supposed to be on sale until 10/28, but the manager cleared it. With the 20% DC discount. So who knows. My partner is checking Duluth, *** and Mall of Georgia locations and planning to clear them out too, if they have them. Good luck lads and lasses.

According to a Jurassic World Game Twitter account; this will be a pre-order bonus from Gamestop/EB Games: Neither site seems to have been updated to reflect this, but it's a pretty cool polybag imo, beats getting another duplicate of a similar character. Will likely pre-order a couple. It also seems to contradict the above images of the Bonus Dr. Wu, maybe different retailer pre-order bonuses, not sure.

Since there's a new Sith Infiltrator coming out, I went ahead and sold my last 7961 for $75. I also quickly sold a 9515 - Malevolence for $175. Both sold within 12 hrs. of being listed.

Today we don the creation of another acronym in the LEGO world. Old man minifigure fetish or OMMF.

"Thank you for the offer, but this is our best price at this time." My standard response.

I picked this up when it was on sale and built it for my personal collection. If you are a die-hard Star Wars fan, you'll want it. The Tusken Raider minifig is great and the model is quite "swooshable" similar to Luke swooshing it in Episode IV as mentioned above.

I ordered 10 GE and walmart cancelled my order and banned me forever. I wanted to purchase two Lego Ninjago DVD for my kids two weeks ago and Walmart cancelled it too! I will try ordering diaper next time to see whether they will cancel my order too!!

That's awesome, grabbed 2 Brick Bounties for 173. ????

Conclusion, as a Xmas flip your buy in price is too high. It would need to be max 45 euros and hope that it sells out everywhere so you can charge full RRP for it to be worthwhile. I doubt that if it EOL

Okay. I understand you are probably relating your own experience. I'm glad that works for you. It's silly to just "forget big box managers" in all cases because it does not work for you. It works for others here.

Going a little off topic but to finish this thought: When you place a note on the items in your purchased list, you will see the note in any store you are looking at and you can also "deselect" the "purchased" wanted list from the displayed items. For example, I am currently completing 20 sets at once and I have about 12 wanted lists for them, 10 for one set each, 1 for general items and 1 for 10 small sets. For the group of 10, I list the set number in the note and after I purchase an item, I add the order number beside it and then move it to my general purchased list (I also have an extra wanted list for one particular set because I need 30 pieces). When I look for pieces, I remove the purchased lists from my searches; both in stores and in items by shop. I haven't ordered a duplicate item yet. If I have the same piece missing from multiple sets, I list it in each wanted list and compile them into one list when I buy them. Mods can probably move this stretch to the BL discussion.

what if I told you someone has around 8 thousand of these....... Some of you underestimate how big certain sellers are on a Amazon. Auto buy scripts to answer your question. Carry on. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Brickpicker mobile app

She also helped out with the Big bang Theory set. I have a feeling TLG will be more than happy to print Science Adventures

Mars Rover, $130 CAN. After fees and shipping still decent profit. Down to my last 2 (have to raise price a bit...had +40 at one point and as a small time reseller was a little nervous I would never unload them all I need to practice more patience.

got the deal of the century at myers 2x10243 at $180.53 each 2x10232 at $144.28 each 2x10218 at $195.03 each 2x10246 at $166.03 each

I fixed the links.

Thanks, I'll work with Jeff Mack tomorrow to see if I can locate them again. They may have moved.

Hi exciter1. I was just reading your top post here and the first two links you have give me 404 errors and the last link for money saving tips also gives a 404 error.

It came out in August 2014. I'm thinking you'll find these sets in dwindling numbers until Jan/Feb 2016. These specific City subthemes seem to last longer than the fire, police and other "normal" City sets so I'm thinking they'll try to get one more winter out of them.

Last week's shipments and weekend haul =D Got 6 of these actually...

---lowest price buy it now---- Hey, will you take $13? ($19.99 plus shipping). My son only saved up $13, I can pay for shipping. Thanks Seems legit?.....buyer has 5700+ feedback, buy him the damn set with your own money!!! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Brickpicker mobile app

The key points I see are the Hulkbuster armor of course and perhaps the Ultron Prime minifigure. Everything else is kind of a toss-up in the air. Now I think the Scarlet Witch in this set is nice although I don't really think "Scarlet Witch" when looking at her here honestly. I know all designs are based on the film but she looks like a character I would have roaming around the Hot Topics in a shopping mall.

160k parts here, and I don't believe in dead inventory. If a seller thinks he has dead inventory, the parts aren't priced right for the low demand. You can even set price so low to create a demand where none existed. Of course, it may not fetch as much as what the seller thought when parting out, but the inventory is not dead. There's very little stuff that wouldn't move even if given away for free (like most instructions and boxes).

Rumour list for 2015. It is very famous by now.

Sold a local Craigslist buy via an eBay auction. Large lot of Star Wars Minifigs and Kits. Paid $300 for this, auction closed at $493+shipping. I cleared about $150 for this sale, after fees.

I beg to differ - I know of at least 2 chains that were restocked this month and I have the seal codes to prove it! The fat lady hasn

It is wise of you to do so. (wisecat approval)

So my family made a trip to the Lego store for the last day of double points, and I had a little birthday money left to spend on something for the personal collection. I couldn't decide between the Simpsons House and Slave I. I didn't have enough for either, but my wife being nice and overlooking the extra cost. After much deliberation I decide on the Simpsons House since it's older and I'll have more time to buy Slave I sometime in the future. I'm at the register to purchase it and the check out guy and I are chatting about buying this set over the other. My wife chimes in - and says some something magical, "Oh heck, it's the last day for double points, why don't you just get them both." WHHHAAATTT???!!! It wasn't a trick, it wasn't a test of good husband decision making - she was honestly telling me to get both sets! This was on top of the fact that a week earlier she had secretly worked out a Bday gift surprise with my parents and her parents and got me the Death Star! So, the Death Star has literally been finished less than 24 hours and she rocks it out with giving me the go ahead on Simpsons and Slave I. Best week ever. Best wife ever.

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.

It was $90 before the second release; would be impressed to see it back up to those levels at year 1.

Just built my very first MOC alternate using only pieces from 31012 Family House. Wanted to try it out as a "modular" size house and this was the result What do you think? Any recommendations? Each level comes off easily as well, second floor and roof.

Pic and it did happen :p
