Happy Fathers Day.....going to crack open the Town Hall tonight...

It's funny that anyone thinks TLG would be releasing sets that they aren't making sufficient margins on. I'd go the other way and say that sets like this show you how much they overcharge for most everything else.

Hi, Have been reading this site for a little while now and wanted to come out of the shadows. This place is great and I enjoy perusing it most days. I came out of my dark ages about a year ago with a kijiji purchase of two 75055 Star Destoyers. My bank account has been in freefall ever since;) I don't have the time to build as much as I would like but love it when I can and especially with my two boys:) Thought I could help put some funds back in the account by selling a few sets, but it is very true that it is easy to buy and harder to sell! I am learning though and I'll make a few bucks some day. Thanks,

FOUR for $32 pre tax

The price of 6862: Power Armor LEx can finally rise up as I sold my last one for $30 FBM.

Third round (IIRC) for the crossbones and iron skull sets.

We watched the Lego Batman movie and did most of the 60080 Spaceport. My daughter and I recently finished the Saturn V and are on a space kick now!

Picked up a 10215 local today for $55. The UCS plaque and sticker are missing but other than that the set is in perfect condition (including the stickers).

My wife offered to get up with our son overnight, so I stayed up late to finish Slave I. I usually get to steal an hour a few nights a week after bedtime to build, so it took about three weeks. This afternoon my daughter and I are going to break out her Duplo rocket and Saturn V! PS I finally got some shelves!

If you read the back it says excludes "All Lego"

This post is directed at small parts sellers, shipping internationally, that like living on the edge. I've come up with a packaging hack to get around the $13.50+ charge for international shipping. Two caveats: -insurance is not offered for this method. -this method is not time tested. I've been shipping small overseas parts orders as "First Class Mail International - Large Envelope" (in PayPal.) The main constraint is the envelope must be less than 3/4". Today I shipped these to Indonesia: I used three pieces of 2-ply cardboard. In one of the pieces, I cut two holes. The pieces with the holes goes in between the other two pieces. The LEGO sits in the nests created by the holes. I taped up the LEGO sandwich. Stuck it in a manila envelope and bathed it in tape. The finished envelope was 1/2" thick and 3oz. Shipping cost to Indonesia was $4.05. I've done this eight times now with no problems. I only ship small parts, torsos, legs, heads, and hands this way. I have avoided sending some more fragile small parts, like helmets using this technique. As has been discussed earlier, sending LEGO in an envelope is not recommended and has it's risks. That said, is anyone else using envelopes for international shipping? I'd be interested in hearing how you do it. Cheers.

Couldn't not

https://t.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=66869556 the BOGO 40% off sale in store thru 6/24 but this set scans as $19.99

Nice. I'm glad that I had my workhorse @Alpinemaps get me one when it was half off.

A City: Caveman theme for 2018 would be great and good to add to a Captain Caveman MOC.

Was able to use my 10% off entire purchase and 25 dollars in points back.

This is the quickest retired set ever. Discounted 30% on Wednesday, Retired by Saturday. https://shop.lego.com/en-GB/Jestro-s-Volcano-Lair-70323

A True 30% or a "TRU" 30%.? The following are above RRP 10505 ($59.99) 70226 ($59.99) 10532 ($24.99) 70732 ($99.99)

Happy Father's Day to those who truly earned the title like everyone here it seems.

My 7 year-old son got the Creator Lighthouse 31051 for his birthday. Of course I had to 'help him' build it. Maybe for his 8th, I can get him an Expert set.

(Disclaimer - the following is aimed at no one in particular, but simply offered as advice that could benefit us all a little.) I wish everyone complaining about getting screwed would realize that you have more of a say and impact than you think - and by accepting these bogus decisions and policies and simply venting here, you are only enabling it to continue. I've had final decisions reversed, had buyers made to pay for bogus "SNAD" return shipping, had negative feedback erased, and more. You simply have to be patient and persistent - and let eBay know that the situation is unacceptable. First make an honest effort to work it out with the customer. Have the evidence available showing that you tried to provide your own excellent customer service, without being cheated. Then escalate the case to managers. Insist on it when they say one is not available. Call back when they hang up. Put in the time. Explain your situation over and over. Document every call and conversation. Reiterate how long you've been a customer, and how terrible the customer service experience you are getting is - all without being a jackass. Simply make your problem their problem, and they will usually become more willing to help you get rid of it. It's rare, but you can even occasionally find a human that cares enough to see the situation the way it is, and do what is right. Yes, they have the power to do that. There is no "buyer always wins" policy. Certainly that is the eBay culture that has developed in the past few years, but each case is handled individually in the end - by humans. Do your part and make them act like it... or else don't complain. Maybe it's not worth the effort to you, and maybe it shouldn't be this way, but deal with things the way they are to the best of your ability and you'll find a lot more satisfaction.

I did not! Thanks, I think.

Perhaps we need a "They paid How Much! for that?" thread

Well, if they make the same mess as they did with Exo Suit, we should just hold off and pick up excess stock at 50% off.

Set number is 5004936 on Cave set, wasn't sure what the heck it was. Will be a LL gift with purchase at some point in time in the future

It's very odd how these are coming in and out of stock. Almost like LEGO has told retailers to list them 10 cases at a time. (even though I'm sure that's not the case) no pun.

I would first contact the eBay seller about returning the damaged item to see what he or she says.

Showing your age there, as with every other joke in Austin Powers 2 it was a copy of an old one. This was from Doctor Strangelove originally.

Any one taking advantage of the Speed Champions deal? Not amazing... only 20% off each (BOGO 40% off) really but I don't find these heavily discount very often at all. For personal collection I really the Ford GT/1966 GT40, and Chevy Camaro Drag Race. Would love to find a better deal than 20%. I do have some gift cards to use though. http://www.toysrus.com/family/index.jsp?categoryId=60532996&ab=TRU_BrandShop:LEGO_Speed_ShopNow:1

Happy father's day to all the fellow BP dad's. I'm building a bond. [emoji6]

It's getting harder and harder to feed the troops !!!

Got bored tonight so I decided to make Gal Gadot Wonder Woman!

I paid less than that. Problem is it was announced retiring so early that everyone knew so it will have no rarity value and we know how badly SH sets do in Europe.

Sold my last 8110 Unimog on ebay for $250. Had held on to it after I dumped the others back in 2015. Flagship technic sets had done so well before this one

Thanks Tabby, look forward to receiving it.

Sold 5 bundles of 8 Stormtroopers from 75078 for $33-$35 shipped each on EBay. Buy-in was $5 per set. Still have all the delicious gray pieces from the vehicles for the BL store, but already at 150% ROI.
