  1. Star Wars Microfighters at 50% off has been just about the best performing lego investment i've made in the last 2 years. buying and selling over 60 $5 Tie interceptors and Millennium Falcons and selling them for $26 (interceptors) and $36-40 (MF's) with first class shipping $2.60 anywhere in the US helped make Feb 2016 my 3rd best money making month in the last 2 years. even the microfighter x -wings which i paid $7 for and sold for $26 were a great investment.

  4. Quite a funny experience this morning. I went food shopping with the Mrs. this morning to Tesco. I picked up a scanner and while she was putting the lottery on i asked her to meet me in the Toy aisle. As i was walking alone towards the aisle i heard a little voice behind me " Daddy, i love Lego. Lets go and see the toys". I looked around straight away and there he was - Timmy. Quickly speeding up i reached the Lego section, a quick look about and there i saw them. Those Microfighter Vulture droids marked on the shelf at £7 but scanning at £2. Getting out my scanner i double checked the item - Bingo £2, within 10 seconds i whip 2 rows of them into my trolley ( 14 in total ) Then i hear him, little Timmy " Daddy, look Lego Age of Ultrons". Little Timmy's Father says " Timmy that is too expensive, you need to look at something cheaper than that. Then his parent starts to show him the other toys. " No, no , no, I want Lego he screams " Straight away my Mrs arrives, looks in my trolley and gives me that look. Then i explain the situation to her about little Timmy screaming behind us. Reluctantly i pick one of Microfighters out of the trolley and ask her to go and offer it to Little Timmy's father and mention that it's normally £10 but it scans at £2. She gives it to little Timmy's father and he says " Timmy do you like Lego Star Wars?". A loud scream follows " i want Age of Ultron !!! " and he gives it back to us. Moral of the story is ???

  7. For what it's worth, I buy retired sets all the time for more than RRP. I'm your target buyer here. You know what trumps a minty, mint box? A good sales price. If I am searching eBay for set "X" that retailed for $199, and see twenty listings at $350 with stock photos /pictures of "perfect"'boxes and one listing at $340 with a crease, guess which one I'm buying? Even better would be a dented box for $325! Why, because I'm already paying way over retail for the set to build, not to admire the pristine packaging. This isn't an action figure or a funko pop that I plan to leave in the box. Obviously I don't want a box that's beat all to crap, but for the right discount, I'm in. I buy damaged box exclusives for personal build all the time. Think about how quick the AWD get snapped up for good sets.

  8. Correct. I was referring to the person who lifted your picture and posted it on bricksetforum. (Or who also gets their flyers on Saturday, has the same countertop, and the same pages underneath the ad). As an AFOL I am all for sharing information. But if one is to take someone else's picture, the least that person could do is give credit for it. Sorry if my post was vague.

  10. Moral of the story is the kid even knows to stay away from SW Micros even for £2. I'm on his side. Sounds like a smart brat

  12. Another place to consider: I ended up with the Infiltrator at TRU with the 20% off and a free Airjitzu.

  14. You could also have changed your handling time on the items. If someone purchased any items while you were away, contact them right away to confirm that they were aware of the delay in shipping. Of course, if the buyer has any issue whatsoever with a delay, you would then refund/cancel the transaction. It is also much quicker/easier (and more accurate) to mass change the handling time, than to try to adjust all of those prices.

  17. Chirping in, the game is garbage. We buy most Tt games, avengers is 100 times better. It's almost like they put their B team on dimensions, the levels all feel awkward and forced

  18. Vamp Castle would be at least $50 higher easily if not for TRU. Lego made the set exclusive to TRU for 12+ months after everyone else sold out And we know what this means. It's like the Walking Dead version of the Island of Misfit Toys. Lego sets like Joker's Funhouse and Vamp Castile die a slow death due to TRU slightly higher mark-up compared to eBay.

  19. how many is "some" and how many did you sell to this one buyer? it was ridiculous for you to tell them to contact shop at home. anytime you say "could have sworn" it means "i didn't check". for a set that cost you $30 out of pocket and brought you negative feedback, i'd say ok - return the set and i'll give you a refund just to get rid of the feedback (coming from a guy with 100% + feedback since the 1990s). i'm surprised you didn't get a SNAD (significantly not as described) which is why i don't think you were being scammed. scammers like money, not leaving negative feedback.

  20. Speaking of the Hair. My UCS Tie Fighter just arrived. Minty, which is strange considering his supplier. But I gave myself a papercut opening it up.

  21. Agree: 20% off + 2 x VIP + Chicken Suit Guy + Kai's Mini Dragon is the definition of a good deal in my book.

  22. Great deal at BigW at the moment for future Lego purchases. Till the 16th BigW gift cards are 10% off as advertised in the current catalogue. If you have an entertainment book you can buy an wish egift card first for 5% off first online and sent to your email (usually within a few hours) Then go to BigW with the printout, grab a BigW gift card and go to a self service checkout, get the staff member to sort out the value of the card with 10% off and after they have sorted it out then whip out your egift card printout to pay for it using the egift option on the screen. I think they will only do one gift card at a time through the self service area but you can put a maximum of $500 on the card. and unfortunately they are only valid for 1 year from date of purchase. This effectively gives you 14.5% off on top of any sale they have for the next year.

  23. Got my "acceptable" condition PS from AWD today. I have to thank the inventory guy at the warehouse because short of the slight gash on the bottom right corner, it's in great shape and still sealed. Not bad for $106 shipped =)

  30. My almost 4 year son is now completely a LEGO maniac. He constantly wants to build and is pretty darn good already. I'm only going to have so many polybags for him before we start cracking into bigger sets. This morning, before I left for work, we out together 30282 Super Secret Police Enforcer

  31. They keep sending me $6 in surprise points towards a purchase of $14 or more, and I keep buying the same $14.99 item and doing a local pickup for effectively a 40% discount, especially since they subtract points BEFORE calculating tax :). No complaints, beats many of my clearance deals, and this is for fresh product, not remnants.

  37. While still not knowing anything of the film's material or content, I do like the cartoony appearance these builds have. The plane, beach house, hut, and vehicle are nice. At least the pigs having regular minifigure arms will make them a tad more usable to me for other characters since light bright green (whatever) is an extremely rare color in minifigure parts I believe last time I checked. Also apologies to Gallows and his posted images being stubborn.
