Don't post anything about money making, flipping, especially Lego on social media accounts. People get jealous, people will follow and try to flip and that brings competitions which make it harder for you to make money, let alone all of us. And most importantly, you don't know who's looking at your post. Home burglaries aiming to steal/rob Lego inventories are not unheard of in this forum.

Hehehehe "Just when I thought it was out, they pulled it back in"

10211 GE - $300 9398 4x4 Crawler - $250 41999 LE 4x4 Crawler - $370 9474 Helms Deep - $175 9461 Swamp Creature - $18

Same person that gave me the polybag schedule has posted that 11/20-11/21 tru will have 20% off ultra agents and Lego movie sets and 2 for $5 series 14 cmf.

I'm not sure about the value of the MOC, but that milk is around $1.79. Very impressive display. How did you acquire it? Are you looking to sell it or just curious as to what it's worth?

Target Cartwheel has Dimensions for 35% off today. Additionally, if you text GAMER to 827438, you get an additional 10% off Toys to Life Games, including Dimensions. That takes it down to $58. Add Red Card for another 5% off to get it down to $55

But some stores still have them. This is from last Friday.

I think that RJ is talking about one of the buy/sell groups. Wouldn't sweat it personally. AFOLs are some of the whiniest, entitled people that I have ever come across.

Could be doing this...

10218 Pet Shop with free 40138 Holiday Train. PS was old box with seal-code 42S5. I have reached my quota for investment. Now I will ignore PS and start to concentrate on other sets.

This was good for a laugh today... I think eBay is overestimating my ability to acquire more Lego to sell...

Mail came today!

Hi anyone care to venture a guess at the value on this custom Lego Colosseum. It's around 24in tall and a little over 45in in diameter. I'm only guessing but I think it weighs around 100lbs. I dont know how many total pieces but it has to be in the tens of thousands. I can count hundreds of pieces just in a small section of the structure. Also included are around 135 roman mini figures. It came from a major movie studio prop department.

Sold another bundle of 6 Hero Factory Bat Pod clips for $90CAD. Down to my last bundle, should have got more!

Speaking of beautiful... I got the Bold-Arrow voodoo workin' today... a wink & a smile works in Charlotte, too. I found an I-Rex on the shelf today, figured I'd try all coupons I had: the 20% off, $5 off, and $10 gift card for $75 purchase... well of course, they wouldn't all go through. The newbie cashier said the 20% and $5 worked, but the $10 gift card would not... I was very understanding... "Oh that's fine... I just thought I'd give it a try... thank you for trying..." But she wouldn't give up. She called over the more senior cashier (who has scanned 100's of my coupons this year). She smiled, "Nice to see you! Didn't see you here last Saturday?.." she took control of the scanner... didn't work right away, and then..beep... beep-beep... $91.37. I'm thinking "That's less than I expected... quick... run my card please..." When I got out to the car, I'm looking over the receipt: 20% check.... $5 off check... and then the line "21.40 SAVINGS DEC. $10 GIFT CARD" ... What? I'm not complaining... but whatever that coupon was... I'd like to get more of those

Sopwith is doing ok in the states. I wish I had been buying them instead of the VW Campers I have...

Corrected that for you

And here I thought I was being smart by avoiding the horde's choices and holding a couple of these for the long haul... If you have been outperformed by Chima....

What age is the baby?

I have it for my Wii U console. And I think it's a really fun game. It is sharing similarities with previous Traveller's tales Lego games in the sense of collecting studs, looking for hidden gold bricks, the special red brick, collecting mini-sets, switching between characters to use their special abilities... The difference here is of course the mixing of different Lego worlds. And the portal device which requires frequent interaction by moving the figures from one spot on the portal device to another based on changing colours. One major advantage of the Wii U version over the Playstation or Xbox version is how co-op can be played on two screens instead of doing a split-screen on the TV. With the Wii U player 1 can use the gamepad and watch his actions there, while player two can use the TV and watch his actions there, using the full width of the TV. I haven't really progressed far yet, but am enjoying it whenever I have some spare time to play. I also have two kids (boy of 9 and girl of 6) and they do enjoy playing it too, though my daughter finds it a bit difficult yet. But my son has friends from school coming over and they do enjoy playing it together in co-op mode.

70503 Ninjago Golden Dragon for 110 euro excl. shipping.

Staples this week (through Nov 21): 40% off your $50 purchase of regular-priced packing and shipping supplies * Online / In-store code = 16055 40% off any one regular-priced packing or shipping item * In-store code = 78118 http://www.staples.com/coupons

Item under review at Amazon. It should be interesting to see how long this lasts and how high the 3rd party price goes up as we approach the holiday selling season. Shop at Home has them but nobody without a reseller badge buys from there anyways, right?

You have me craving Wendy's.

and a 10$ GC

ToA with freebie shipped from S@H

This is one of those "under the radar" sets" that gets little love from collectors, but smart resellers know they are money in the bank.

Everybody sing along!

65 x 75097 Ebay between $60 and $65 shipped. Buy in was $23.45

Wish I had a Target nearby to use that Cartwheel. Do you know if the Gamer coupon can be used online? Edited to add: Just texted and it looks like you may be able to use it online with promo code TOYS2LIFE Off to check this out.

I just sit back and let the scammers deal with the bottom feeders

I've been selling them like hot cakes for $63 shipped. This set is hot right now. Going to jump to $65.

i totally agree that this set had much better legs in the US than in Europe (except possibly for the UK). It seems that both it and HE were retired ahead of schedule (going back to that dodgy in shop list) as neither have had replacements this year or are likely to in 2016.

This has been kind of remedied with the 1.03 patch for Lego Dimensions which added a "Hero for hire" feature where you can hire a character for 30 seconds to access or open a location that needs a special power/ability to be opened/unlocked. The 30 seconds should be enough to drill through a floor, or unlock a cage, or whatever, to get to the special brick locked up there. You pay for this with the studs collected in a level, where the first time you hire a hero costs 50,000 studs for that hero, but subsequent hires of that hero cost more with a maximum limit. Besides the main quest there are also all of those Worlds to explore in free-roam style. You'll need a character of a certain world to be able to enter that World. So with only the Starter Pack you can only enter the free-roam Worlds of The Lego Movie, Batman, and Lord of the Rings.

Don't you know that they hate people like us???

Sold out at Us shop.

Personally, I don't post anything about making money off Lego on Twitter, Facebook, etc... It is interesting though as talking about making money off Lego is frowned upon but boasting about Kenner Star Wars toy, comic and cards profits Is perfectly fine.

About 2 weeks ago, got the tip on the DD thread that Blinq.com had 31012 Family House at $72 each after discount code. I never bought from Blinq before, and I had gotten a few 31012 on clearance at Walmart before for $49 + tax, so I wasn't too excited about this, but I had sold all those... and... it was a slow night, so I decided to go in for two. They arrived about a week later. Within a couple days I put them in a box with a few other things, and shipped them off to Amazon FBA. Both sold yesterday for $112.95 ea. I figure this two week investment of $144 turned $35 profit, and I didn't have to buy a box, didn't have to leave the house. <...side note... I was very happy that these Family House arrived in mint condition... so a few days later I went back to Blinq for a Parisian Restaurant for $131... listed as "new, sealed..." no other comments. It arrived pretty beat up, so I returned it. I guess with Blinq, you win some, you lose some ...>

and a 10$ GC You have me craving Wendy's. I totally forgot about that. Which surprised me, because my waist reminds me every day about how much Wendy's I was eating last year.

Did you factor in the Chanel / LV she is getting tomorrow in your cost?

If we ignore it, it might go up

Wow. Jeez. Amazed that people will spend that much on it. Personally, I rather get the 2012 Dino version of the GT with money saved. It's funny because a co-worker was looking up the jw sets on Amazon and stumbled on that one. She thought it was a bigger set than just a polybag. I wonder if anyone will ask for their money back after seeing what they are getting. [emoji15]

More JW polys at $40... Need to send more in now . Who needs an IR when u got a GT.

Love the airplane reference

Please try and remember to post set names along with the #s Many folks do not have set #s memorized

Admittedly as I am doing this for fun I go down to sets that may only sell for £1. I am much more picky when it comes to buying bulk lots. I want to "see" a number of valuable sets within the pictures. Sometimes it's blinding obvious, ie the sets are half made up or the sellers put in pictures of the instructions. I should note here that I mainly look for vintage, 80's sets as that it what I grew up with. Valuable in this case means £10+ But, once I have bought a lot I will try to build as many sets as possible out of it. Right down to the one pounders. I like putting old sets back into circulation. And you can make more than you think from some of these "worthless" sets. For example. A 22kg lot which I bought for £300. The quick and easy to find sets were sold off quickly for a £320 profit based on their cost of £65. But this only equated to 4.5 kg leaving 17.5kg left over. With in this I found some model team sets, 5580 & 5590 selling those for £100. Plus a number of 1970's sets which I did not think would sell. So I listed them for £0.99 each to see if they would sell. 620 Fire Truck 1970 0.99 6.27 605 Taxi 1971 0.99 2.20 614 Digger 1974 0.99 1.20 611 Police Car 1973 0.99 1.21 643 Mobile Crane 0.99 5.50 612 Tipper Truck 1974 0.99 1.71 659 Police Patrol 1975 0.99 2.71 647 Lorry With Girders 1971 0.99 3.71 674 Forklift and Truck 1978 0.99 4.70 656 Car and Caravan 1974 1.99 5.50 691 Rescue Helicopter 1974 0.99 10.00 640 Fire Truck 1971 0.99 0.99 (Not sure if that table will post neatly) But all except one sold for more than its listing price which surprised me. Proving, you can never tell. Profit from them was £28. I did still have 9kg of this lot left over which I sold as bulk bricks for a £20 loss. Not bad. I still have a few sets to list, including a 95% complete 6285 and my profit on this lot is passing £400, 80% return based on total costs. So to me, doing the little sets is worth it. But its whatever is good for you. Different people have different strategies.
