  7. Inspired by last night's "Rebels" episode. I'm probably going to build a couple Y-Wings to go with it. Imperial Assault Carrier also made a noteworthy appearance last night too. Hmmm...

  11. 8671 Ferrari F430 Spider 1:17 Picked this up on Craigslist or eBay, don't remember which. Disassembled, cleaned/dusted, reassembled as a Sunday project. Interesting to go back and build a "vintage" set (2006). The differences between this and the new Ferrari F40 are phenomenol. The stickers and lack of a windshield kill this set. The rims are awesome though.

  12. Picked up some sets to build down the road. Couldn't wait to build the chess set so that is done. My 7 yr son and wife taught me how to play 2 weeks ago. New latest logo chess set. Just wish the board was larger. The set is awesome though. We will use it a couple of times with SW minifigs New temple of airjitzu ($150) free disco / tears Batman black widow key chain for my daughter that put a nice hole in the ninjago box.

  13. Ok - nobody who participated in the above conversation is EVER, EVER allowed to complain that EBay/Paypal fees are too high, even if they go up to 25%. You know it is too good to be true, and still you order. Unless you're just going to take your loss, you are going to get EBay/Paypal to make it right, which in the end costs us all money. Thanks.

  14. 1. I think the ghost is now one of the most significant rebel ships, so a UCS ghost would be fitting. Though I would like to see a Nebulon UCS at some point too. 3. I don't think there was any phantom docked in the ghost in this episode, though the image sure makes it looks like there is one. They said something about Kanan being on a mission, so presumably he was using it. Although he's blind, so I don't know how that would work out. Maybe he had a pilot? I hope they go on and introduce Red/Blue squadron and the X-Wings at some point. Right now their main fighter is still the A-Wing. The Y-Wing is an old clone wars ship, but the X-Wing should be a new design technically.

  18. Be careful with pricing common, popular bricks at a loss. Let's say you buy 200 white 2x4 bricks as a loss leader, and they cost you $0.20 each. You list them for $0.15 to attract people to your store. Then someone comes in and places an order for just 200 white 2x4 bricks. What do you do now? Buy more white bricks at a loss? You don't want to end up as the Kmart of BrickLink. When I opened my store, I noticed that the common bricks typically sold full available quantity. So this is IMO a very likely scenario. I personally would put common bricks in my store at a premium, provided that you have a wide range of non-common pieces. That way people spend the extra dollar on the common bricks because they know they get the special pieces they want in the same order and save $5-$10 on shipping that way.

  19. Not that I'm interested, but it is a steep discount, especially compared to the price of the same set at TRU_NL (@ €269,99) which will be shipped from the exact same German warehouse where it will be shipped from if bought at TRU_DE !

  23. I figure what the hell. Even at their current low BL prices maybe they will be an impulse item for my other orders. I left 34 Gimli on the shelf. Not enough room in the cart. In the cart: 82 Simpsons, 39 Gimli, 11 Cragger, 12 Legolas

  32. from a technical point of view, that listing is in violation. Condition guidlines for "new" per amazon policies : New: Just like it sounds. A brand-new, unused, unopened item in its original packaging, with all original packaging materials included. Original protective wrapping, if any, is intact. Original manufacturer's warranty, if any, still applies, with warranty details included in the listing comments.

  33. Local CL that I could not just bring myself to buy that was oh so tempting at $2: "Lego structure for sale. It's a Lego ship. Keep it set up as is or break it down and build something else!" https://washingtondc.craigslist.org/nva/bab/6030309476.html

  34. Being rare won't save a terd. I think this set is stupid and clunky, would not imagine anybody missing it and paying extra as it has nothing unique or attractive in it.

  43. Different people look for different things and follow different "profiles" - The MOC guy needs a specific color of a specific piece and needs a ton of them. And on common bricks this absolutely can be used to hook a fish. Joe MOC'er needs 200x 2x4 bricks in white. He obviously doesn't want to order from multiple stores and eat multiple shipping charges. So he plugs it in. Not many stores have quantities that large so that narrows the pool quite a bit. - Collector has a wishlist of parts to complete his misc sets and needs. The store that has the most of his 90 unique lots; quantity of one...gets the sale. This is especially true of vintage used pieces that are not common. In any case usually once something draws them to your store then they look around for A: other things they want and/or B: things that are a good deal/cheap. Because the shipping charges are there regardless, so might as well maximize. I look at it like a fishing net. The bigger more diverse the net you can throw out...the more fish you haul in. It looks like you are doing pretty good. The pieces will sell eventually just be patient and focus on increasing your net size. I would set incremental goals. Like have 50k pieces for sale by next month and so on to wherever you see the endgame for the store (i.e. how insane do you want to get. A 200k part store and a nice monthly income? A 2 million part store that needs your attention full time? A shop that rivals the population of the United States in Minifigures?). Also think about the various types of customers and what drives their sect of the LEGO ecosystem. Then try to think like them and meet their needs. Look at MOC's and see the pieces that people need a lot of or a few of. Note the popularity of colors. Something I did was go back and watch all of JangBrick's Bricklink unboxing videos on his Youtube channel to try and understand the forces that drive LEGO users and what they look for. That's my .02 cents. Keep in mind I will be opening my BL store within the next 2 months so I could be way wrong
