Needed a little pick me up today.

Amazon : UCS Tie : 159$ , 20% off http://amzn.to/2aPLJSj

I think that you should have your own 'what did exciter find in the wildernerss today' topic.

Hope you didn't open a sealed set? I know people do different things with Lego, I heard that some even open sealed sets and build them, but me being a reseller....there is no way....here is my Marina-Bay-Sands that I bricklinked (missing couple pieces that are on the way already)

I finally got round to building the GE. Not the most exciting of builds, but the finished product does look good. Still have another used one bagged and ready to go so I can do the double.

Apparently Gamestops are flooded with these. This guy was generous, 25 in one shot.

I'm passing through "Buckwild" country today. Kmart has added some LEGO stuff to this clearance round. I'll add them in the KMart thread later. Picked up all these for $180 out the door after coupons and 20% off clearance. They must have found some Mixels Series 2 in the back, picked up a dozen. They rang up $3.44 each.

I'm banking on a shortage this holiday season and they'll be desperate for any Death Star they can get their hands on.

Finished the cinema expansion. I tried a number of different looks but expanding on the original looks best. The only thing that bothers me is the screen is too small. I may add Apu's garden to the roof at some point but he will need some way to get up there.

No surprise, KMart still has PEE.

Read the first post on the thread. Skip next 15 pages. Read last post (this one) You now have all known information.

Did you post that really small because it's a pretty small deal compared to previous ones?

This set will be out longer than any other set in Lego history, so long as Lego keeps a Disney license this set will not retire.

Le cinéma Vox de Strasbourg by Kloou.

The set is $499 confirmed

Order 66?

FedEx sucks. Ordered a new laptop, was expecting it today. Been home all day, go outside and find a note taped to the gate of the chain-length fence that surrounds my yard. "We tried to deliver a shipment. We'll return by 4:30 tomorrow." All they had to do was just go through the gate, walk 30 ft and knock on the door! But nooooo, they see cars in the driveway, "hmm I'll just walk to the gate and leave"

Yes. They did! My fav train accessory set is still this City set. 10027 train shed

People were able to nab some of them Tie's for under $50 last week. I was not one of them...

Time to change all my $49.99 listings to $50..

I did a Beetle for one order and the Vacation RV and a $6 Princess thing to get a bus and an Olaf, like $75.xx

For personal build, I was going to grab the VW Beetle. If I was going more expensive, then I would have gone with the Brick Bank. Investment-wise, I'd be trying to get as near $75 as possible for an exclusive, so I'd go with Minis, or Beetles or something else similar in price.

LEGO Star Wars TIE Fighter $159.97 (Save $39.98) https://www.walmart.com/ip/LEGO-Star-Wars-TIE-Fighter/42104274

Also got a London bus Promo for $20.. Better than spending $75 on a full price Lego order.

Depends on the set. Some sets don't hurt ya too bad going coast to coast. Others cut into your margins big time. Best way to learn is through experience. It will cost you a few bucks but the knowledge gained will pay you back with dividends.

10232 palace cinema with London bus promo I like the guy in stained wife-beater

Lego Beetle plus the Mini Bus promo, then the Killer Croc set plus another Mini Bus. Selling off the 2 Mini Buses and all the vehicles in the Killer Croc set and just keeping the Minifigs (and Red Hood's Bike). Once I get the Ra's Al Ghul set I can have the full swath of Robins, past and present!

This one seems like a pretty good deal. Those old train stations did well.

"sealed bag" was a bit of a giveaway.

You know those comments saying don't post leaked photos until they are officially announced, guess who they were aimed at.

^ At this point in your game, I'd certainly be seeking out Calculated Shipping. I was starting out a year ago, and have used Calculated shipping for just about everything. I've made ~125 sales or so. Things definitely still sell. If you're selling smaller sealed sets, and have planned properly by reading these forums, you'll already have the boxes you're using to ship with. Measure one for parcel dimensions, then simulate a finished parcel (packing materials etc) with each set you're selling and weigh them... record it with your dimensions. Then just plug that info into the shipping information when you post or edit your listing. Like Phil said, a little bit more work up front, but work you'd end up doing at the point of sale anyway (to print your shipping label). If you're making ~$40 sales, and paying ~$50 to ship to the other side of the country.... even if you acquired those sets for free, you're not eating into your profits man, you're eating into your original capital. Pretty sure that's bad for business. Calculated Shipping ftw.

Well, if you can live without the minis, I think we need to talk... Bought a London Bus promo on eBay. Noticed it was a race to the bottom. Found a BIN with OBO. Got it for $20, and used the $5 in eBay Bucks that were expiring tomorrow. Math worked out much better than buying $75 in non-exclusives without a discount.

I'd say that's a great pick me up. Looks good. Hope it finds a nice place on your desk or bookshelf.

Lego should but Lego won't

Raven has no stash, he is a filthy, dirty, flipping, lowlife. And an honorable one at that.

Thankyou sir! I have a feeling this will be a day one purchase for me and an actual build around Christmas time.

Lego

Sold 2 London Mini Buses - one for $25 and one for $23

I sold a Technic Snowmobile for $17 via CL. $7 profit!!! Woohoo!!!!!

That miniseries made the Jedi in AotC feeble in comparison. Not sure why they needed the clones at all. Mace single handedly destroyed a batallion of battle droids.

Meh. maybe more canon but nowhere near as good as the 2003 Clone Wars miniseries.

I think a few things are at play. The Rogue one movie is a stand-alone but the center of the movie is the Death Star and the plans around it. Even if no one remembers that movie they will remember the iconic look up the Death Star and everything surrounding it. The other thing at play is the fact that this takes us back to the original Star Wars movie. This will pull at the heartstrings of the older fans of Lego right around the holiday season corresponding with the time that this set comes out. Everyone will flock to get their hands on a Death Star as Star Wars frenzy picks up again during the holidays. Disney has been around for a long time and while they make some mistakes they are not a stupid company. They will learn from the UCS Hoth and work to restore the value that UCS has as a branding on a set. My guess is a $500 "Cinderella Castle" style remake of 10188 with a 10143 side to it. Cinderella for the girls and Death Star for the boys. AFOL folks remember the New Hope days and recent Star Wars fans play off Rouge One. It's gonna be big, especially for holiday.

Where does the figure come from? They only gave away around 1,000-1,200 at SDCC.

I'm on chat with Amazon trying to recover my payment for Prime when it hasn't been 30 days yet. I joined on the 13th and then they charged me for a year on the 17th. Amazon, you said free for 30 days not 4 days...

My son used a gift card that he got for his bday to buy and build 75142 Homing Spider Droid. The Yoda minifig put him over the edge bc he didn't have one. Not a bad little set.
