  3. For me, I tend to not buy sets that are really creepy looking. This fits the mold.

  6. Excellent afternoon of brickpickin. Wiped out all the barnes and nobles of their white houses, and lincoln memorials. Also found a maze, and a mystery mansion. The maze came out to 47, plus I had a 10% raise gift card thanks to their "add 4" promo. Then I stopped by TRU and wiped out the last of the Sith Infiltrators and the last lonely Tydirium. The US Capitol Building is mine to build. Couldn't resist the 67.00 price point at B&N.

  12. they ask because they REALLY really don't want the person they are getting a gift for to see how much they are spending and if you are selling them one of your price gouger over priced retired LEGO sets you really shouldn't be surprised that they wouldn't want someone to see how much they spent on some plastic bricks. they are looking for a human on the other end. they end up coming back and buying more from you when you accomodate their request. i never include the packaging slip as standard protocol because i'm so cheap and don't want to waste ink and paper for something destined to the trash. i sell hundreds of items a month all FBM. i get the request to leave it out all the time anyway so my standard protocol means I never once screw that up. i have never once gotten a complaint saying where the hell is my packing slip. from my perspective as a voracious online customer (and the husband of an even greater consumer), the only upside to including a packing slip is if you are really trying to make it easy for the customer to remember where the set came from when they want to return it to you.

  13. Looks like people have gone out and bought the Resistance Transporter today. It's been wiped out from buying online at TRU and stock has dwindled country wide by about three quarters of where it was yesterday. I think by the end of today with the B&N and TRU holdouts being the last retailers with stock that it will finally sail off into the sunset. Naboo starfighter is also sailling off finally.

  18. I inadvertently stumbled on this when I bought GG for my stepsons back in 2008 as a birthday present. They never came and got it so I just put it up on shelf and forgot about it. I recently moved and the box was slightly damaged but it is still intact/sealed and I would consider it in very good condition. Do you think it will appreciate in value over the next 10 years? Should I sell it?

  19. There are lots of Retired sets available at multiple retailers below MSRP. TRU has over 999 Droid Escape and they still haven't gotten rid of their clearance Sith Infiltrators or RTT. BN has over 1400 Flatiron left last I looked not to mention you can get them for $28 on BL. I don't want to say the "B" word but if you look at a Bell curve we are definitely approaching +2. Unless LEGO decreases the number of sets produced per year or you are lucky enough to only pick short run sets I do not see much of a chance for recovery. Mods now please move all this talk to the bubble thread. Thank you.

  21. No, US market. Isn't the rule of thumb - take what is going in the US and deduct it by half for Europe? Heck, I don't even know why there are European brickpickers on this site.

  22. I was able to buy several cases of 40252 again today. I know time is running short on this, but I'm sure I can more than double my investment in just a week or so. Found a new Ninjago accessory pack that looks pretty cool. And the little chick from last year 40202. Oh and the iconic brick calendar.

  29. Just sold the oldest set in my inventory (based on my purchase date). It was a Technic 42001 Mini Off Roader from 9/10/14 I got for $8.47, a whopping 35% discount after tax. Sold for $20 with free shipping on eBay. Stunning performance on this one lol. With the eBay 10% rewards bonus on sales, will net a bit over $4 after fees and shipping. Yay for almost 50% return! I can almost buy a $5 Subway foot long with the profits!

  31. Sell, Sell, Sell. Whether it be a complete re-release of the set, or just the individual rare parts that get re-released - In the current environment, there is just far too much risk to hold.

  32. SYW Rewards members: check your inbox for an email titled "Action Requested - youi've obtained some SWEET deals". Mine just came and contained a $15 back on $15 coupon, valid for Sears and KMart. Best coupon I've seen in a while.

  33. I wouldn't say that all of the buyers are crooked. Problem is that Amazon makes it painfully easy to exploit the system. It's like they encourage it.

  35. I would not be shocked if Dimensions is done. LEGO has bigger fish to fry, like their hot new Emoji theme.

  36. No offense to just2good (like him and his channel) that being said...I believe he's in his late teens early 20s. I don't see how he would have info on it. Unless someone he knows works for WB or Lego directly. Not saying it's impossible but I honestly see them finishing at least 3 years. I would be shocked if they don't add Marvel/SW. This is multi level. What I mean by that is you have kids who want it and collectors/AFOL who want the mini figs. Anything is possible but I don't think Dimensions is done before 2019. What do I know though lol...

  37. So this was posted today... Since just2good posts a lot of leaks and rumors, there's some weight behind this. Not hearing anything from any other sources yet, though...

  40. I am not discouraging anyone from selling on Amazon , obv there is money to be made otherwise no one here would be selling on that platform ( sell thread would be a good reference ) . Folks also need to be aware of the risks and how to handle them especially with the lastest round of scam and how it affects their business now and probably down the road . im just calling your baby ugly in this thread

  42. My son and I finished up the UCS TIE Fighter 75095 last week. If is a lot larger than I pictured it being, and displays well. I haven't built the Slave yet, but I still think it's odd that this and the Slave are on sale at the same time at the same price point (I bought the TIE used for $85). I really want to build the TIE Interceptor version at some point, which looks pretty sweet.

  43. Up until January I would always get every Ebay Bucks offer. Now I don't get any of them. Anyone else in the same boat? I haven't knowingly done anything differently.

  44. The subs were sold in 4 minutes and 26 seconds. All of them. I know the guy who bought all of them. (He's super Handsome and smart) Everyone is messing around because out of all TFA sets this one is one of the most lackluster. Even at 50% a lot of people don't have faith this set will go much past RRP. Once CP is in an episode 8 or 9 set this set will be very hard to move. If she is not remade then and only then will the set do "well". Ultimately buy in is key so if you are getting them 60% off that's not bad. People were expecting 12 dollar sandcrawelers and 50 cent dimensions (hence all the sarcasm/fun poking)
