for when you have the space jam guys over

3 Lego volcano exploration @ Walmart $67.00 Plus over BrickFair I met the CEO of Lego and traded business cards.

Tonight I finally finished off the UCS Tie Fighter while watching Episode IV. After sitting in my build pile since December, I decided to put it together doing 1-2 bags per night over the last week. Overall, I was very happy with the set. I'm not sure why such harsh criticism? Also, I disassembled and put away Technic set 42030 Volvo L350F Wheel Loader....primarily in order to make room for more SW UCS sets. UCS Slave 1 is up next.

Made with a 11" x 18" keepsake box from Aaron Brothers..

Speaking of aliens:

I know it is bad internet etiquette to quote yourself but I was amazed to see when I got these today 31067-9 do connect to make a "MODULAR" MSRP would be $140 and piece count is 1470. Check out the use of the word "MODULAR" on the back.

is that the regular order status thread or the R2 polybag order status thread?

70352 Jestro's Headquarters $54.67 on Amazon (39% off).

Interesting location for a basketball hoop.....

TRU. Coudnt say no to ultra agents at $14 ea. You can hate jurrassic world sets were whatever TRU had it for today ($24?), paid with 20% gift cards.

Long live admiral whatshisnames !!!

Well, I'm sure there's one other dude that will always be able to sell on Amazon.

So basically selling LEGO on Amazon by anyone but LEGO will one day become impossible.

I stayed in a galaxy far, far away... due to that ginormous sticker

4 75049 Snowspeeder $52 each. Not bad considering I just picked them up a week ago.

Those aren't clearance items. The clearance items are the ones on the main list that originally ended in .98. Sith Infiltator, Hurricane Heist, Jestro, Avenjet and First Order Transporter are clearanced. Everything else is just "Sale".

My snow speeder arrived today. Corner was slightly crushed but r2 was in there so I'm happy. Bought a few things at TRU to celebrate their arrival. Oh crap, wrong thread.

$75 for X-Mas isn't far-fetched at all. That's 6 more months of low ballers getting rid of their stock.

Toys R Us Today: First off, this was my 2nd large haul off a sale, and for those of you who do this on the regular... hats off... it was exhausting haha (but a rush too) Picked up: x4 Dilophosaurus Ambush (75916) x1 Crossbones Hazard (76050) - (personal) x1 Avenjet (76049) - (personal) x3 Scuderia Ferrari Truck (75913) x3 4x4 Off Roader (60115) No Raptors, and someone snatched the last two Sith Infiltrators right as I was debating getting them. Now the fun part, I head to the register and for whatever reason, Dilophosaurus / Crossbones / Avenjet ring up correctly with price from website, but the Scuderia Truck and 4x4 do not... So we price match, then I apply for TRU CC and stack 15% off on top of that... However, the ones that the cashier price matched manually (scuderia and 4x4) did NOT deduct the additional 15% off... so we had to manually adjust them AGAIN. Now while this is happening and the line is growing angry behind me, my cashier calls over her manager for help and he sees my x3 Scuderia's and says "Oh crap, that's my order I am trying to fill for a customer". He then awkwardly asks me if I am reseller and tries to bribe me to leave 1 of the 3 behind so he can fulfill his customer's order. I politely say no (I did not rush out of work to then have my product guilted away from me). Well he then CALLS the customer right next to me and tells them "Sorry, another customer JUST purchased your sets", naturally the receiving person didn't seem happy. Overall, kind of awkward... Anyways, after all of that, she manually price matched everything and I paid with discounted GC from Rise I bought this morning with the MOM3 code. Worked like a charm. So sale price + 15% off TRU CC + discounted GCs > that 20+ minute transaction

maybe he's just doing a public service by trying to mop up this endless lingering TRU-exclusive stock blocking these recently retired sets from enjoying the post EOL bump they so justly deserve. keep it up IronManDan!

The rathtar set is junk.

I think im done with Walmart clearance for now 20x AT RE 3x Krennic 10x Vader 10x KS20 2x Scarecrow Harvest 10x Desert Outpost 10x End Portal 1x Volcano Base 5x Duplo Spiderman 6x Junior Ninjago 1x Junior Ninjago Temple prolly left behind 20 or 30 Jakku and Scariff - im going to wait for them to hit 75% Sticking with my plan of it must be 50% or better to buy and if i have no faith in it, it must be 75% off

So they are Laterham .... Har har

My Kmart.com order arrived!

Called it

This is why I find setting aside my need for profit so liberating. The recent reduction of the eBay TRS final value fee discount from 20% to 10% has lately helped in this regard. Only when you free your soul from the material plane, will you be truly free.

Here's what the Tower of Airjitzu looks like at my local toy store: I checked the seals today and they are 46S6...

one per purchase was last year

Just look at the price tag; if it ends in 8 or 0 and has a 40% off placard, you will get 40% plus 20% if you use the coupon.

End of April slowed some for me, compared from Feb and March, but I also pulled a lot of my loose brick out of my inventory as I've been shifting to selling primarily sealed sets. I also raised the prices on many of my sets as I felt more confident in what I was doing and didn't need to undercut so much to get a sale. But since May started my sales have increased again. At my new higher prices =) I'm still pretty new to this, been open just over a year now, But certainly having a higher feedback score helps, and I'm seeing more frequent customers buying from me in bulk. It's not clear if my new strategies are working or just my good customer service is driving the sales. Maybe a combo of both. I'm happy though.

Heads-up, this is a one-time use code. I learned that at TRU today

Do you need the receipts? If you have a TRU card, you can log in to your account to see the transactions. Alternatively, if you log into in your rewards account (https://rewardsrus.toysrus.com/) you'll see a full breakdown of what you bought by item as well as the Rewards points earned. Go to Manage Account>Review Purchases.

Yes.

Picked these 2 from local Kmarts yesterday and today for a local buyer.

But the geeks have all the money....

I'm taking a gamble. I bought two Hurricanes at $14.39 using the 20% off clearance coupon I got last Sunday. Worst case scenario is one of my daughter's friends gets this set for their birthday. I noticed when I got home that somehow the 20% off clearance coupon got applied to my two Sith Infiltrators making them $36 each. From now on I will always put my coupon sets first in the hopes the magic carries over to the rest of the purchase like today. It might not work... but nothing to lose.

I'm holding til $100. If Delorean can do it why can't this? More hippies than geeks, right?

Your "Poor" would be my "Toss". Maybe as play material for my kids. I wouldn't make a condition note on "Good" - that's default, and only make note of the "Fair" items' condition. Plus a generic note in the Terms to indicate that Used pieces meet the above "Good" description, and that deviations from that standard are noted in the comment. Then mention that you're human and can make errors, and that you appreciate a chance to make it right should this happen.

Spotted in Billund today:

Don't forget Toxikita's Toxic Meltdown... and the Riverside Raid!

There's a dozen or so left at my store. Live long and prosper.

As predicted, most of this stuff is already sold out online. Including HURRICANE HEIST. RIP Ultra Agents.

Technically, selling FOR PROFIT is the hard part.

Thanks for bringing me back to Earth

S17 purchase from Minifigures+ just shipped

75172 Y-Wing Starfighter for 29,99€ at Amazon The Y-Wing was very briefly available at Saturn.de last weekend for 29,99€ as well, and today Amazon matched them. Out of stock at the moment but able to backorder.

Good till the 13th of this month.

Stores in my area still had $10 points back after $30 or more toy purchase....Paid $41.63 for 41135 Liv's Pop Star House after $5 off $20 toy coupon and points....Received $5 back in Bonus Points on top of $10 back as well...YMMV as always...Starting to love Kmart SYW know that i sort of know what i'm doing....Big thanks to everyone for posting all of the info!

Not only are the primary builds quite good but the alternates are just as interesting and fun instead of seeming like leftover filler concepts. I am pleasantly impressed to say the least with this year's offerings all of which essentially feel as though there is a fundamental requisite in acquiring three of each to properly build everything together.

Love the Santa photo - I updated it with the appropriate caption.
