New for £300! One of the seals has loosened off, and the box has sagged, but I'm very pleased with this.

Just bought Insult on Hoth (75098). Feel a bit dirty, but they came up on eBay, with some box damage, for £139.99. Still a couple there actually, as of posting this. That was always the price at which I said to myself that I'd go for it. Puts it more in line with the standard non-UCS sets that this thing really is.

Anyone sees extra 10% in credit on their Amazon store card on some items via Amazon mobile ?

The only stuff you should load up on now is what won’t be around for the holiday season, or thereafter.

No no and no

Marathon 3 day build to complete the Falcon! Total build time was around 20 hours and was actually a really straight forward build, nothing too complicated just lots of parts to look through for each set of bags. Really stoked - the ship looks amazing!

You're able to judge the character of a person by the font they choose to write their emails in? Do you realize the power you wield?! Was it comic sans by chance? I hear people who use that font are jerks.

When I get these types of "I buy all your LEGO" messages, I find them impossible to do business with because they want absurdly low prices. I'd be interested to know what you sold and for how much and if you made any profit.

Yes

Wow, what a rough road this set has had. I think it might have finally made it out of its hump. Its been picking up steam after dropping in price every other month. No new Jabba sets in sight so maybe *crossed fingers* the long hold might pay out. On a side note the Rancor Pit has been doing well

Woah Kylo looks like Todd from wedding crashers

Yes that’s the Canadian ad. The US one has a BB-8 Build in week 4 and runs from Sunday to Saturday, starting on Oct 1.

I looked yesterday after you posted the UCS Batcave screenshot, but I didn't see it then, and I still don't see it. Maybe it's a business account promo.

No clue who it is.

Do you know if they are still giving them out to the lottery winners Saturday and Sunday or was it just a Thursday Friday thing? 98 / 89 never was good with set numbers as long as mine will be worth $250 by Xmas I'm fine so is 89 possibly Boba Han in a target box or no clue who the builds are?

Nice. all of the Scooby Doo sets are decent for fans.

Just some info I had. A Target exclusive.

You can get it at LEGO Shop at Home for $199.99 With 2 freebies and 5% points back.

Just finished up bags 8. This thing is a beast!

I was able to score a Boba/Han for $102 after using my eBay bucks. Not terrible! Now is a good time to watch new listings for sets in the $140-$150 range. People just trying to unload quickly.

Make friends with a mommy blogger with a few hundred thousand followers and feed her sets you want to see spike in price. (Pm me the sets you’re sending ahead of time so I can stock up). Bonus points if you can get said blogger to post a link to the amazon listing.

Na there's no way they would be stupid enough to do that...

No. They don't even scan them, they just hand it out if you buy $75 or more before tax. There isn't a price on them. There are some decent prices... the half price city sets are good (the volcano one anyway) and krennics shuttle is 30% off again aswell as the village. Batman movie sets are 20% off as well... i don't think I've seen the Ultimate Batmobile 20% off yet, so I picked that up and a half price city to get the promos twice.

Yes! My daughter will be excited to get some SW Brickheadz.

Nice. I think they have piles of them at Wal-Mart here.

Not sure if this has been mentioned yet but I was just checking through the exclusives on the us lego site and have seen 2 new brickheadz Fin - 41485- number 19 in series Captain Phasma - 41486 - number 20 in series Fills out a few gaps shown in an above post. Released on nov 1st to you guys.

As previously spoken about my breakfast habits. I have now reallocated the milf to a $799 cat bed.

Dang wish it could be used in store!

A Valued Customer TM purchased an Angry Birds Pirate Piggy Ship for $45 shipped. I even made a bit of profit.

am I the only person thinks clayface looks ugly?

When Raven speaks, I listen.

Fine, UK RRP for Jan 2018 and UK bricklink GBP data set 3 month sold average in months 11,12 and 13 after final SAH availability date as markers.

I´ll bet you a 10 USD donation to the 2020 Brickpicker charity event that DB 3.0 won´t be trading above RRP within a year of selling out at SAH. Saturn V will depend on how long it is available for. 1.5 years or more and we can forget decent returns. The early adopters have already got theirs and the price is trending down even though it is OOS. Why it was ever limit 5 is a mystery. This should at least make it slightly harder to hoard.

I'm not sure pirate ships/ships in general ever fly under the radar, i mean one of the seemingly universal rules of Lego investing is that pirate ships and the like "usually" do well. However times are changing, so who knows.

I was contacted by this person about 6 weeks. Mira was their name. I spent about 3 hours going through my entire collection to find 'perfect' condition boxed sets. I was able to compose a list, which I then forwarded to the potential buyer via email. They really only seamed concerned about the price. I tried too get them to make an offer, either for individual sets or the entire lot, but they wouldn't. They insisted I quote prices. So, I spent another 3 hours concocting prices which I would be satisfied with. When I sent them back the list of prices their response was short and curt. "Your prices are way higher than we usually pay." I told them it's more important to me that I make my money back than to move product. That I'm a collector first and only a small time reseller trying to support a hobby. They just didn't like that all my prices were slightly over retale. Anyways, they sent me back one more reply stating that they are always willing to buy sets that meet their criteria. And that ended that. Normally I wouldn't have given this person the time of day. But, my family is financially being squeezed by our recent move across the country and the fact I'm still searching for work. So, I tried to push a transaction through, but they refused my prices. This was my experience.

Little follow-up: The packages from amazon arrived today Three fullsized Walkers in pristine condition in very nice boxes as well. Got lucky this time

Sell all of them and start over !

My mantra has always been one to build & one to keep. I have three of the MF17. One to build, one to sell soon, and one to hold on to. I'm not really in it for a maximum profit flip. I just like collecting. To be perfectly honest, I've never sold a set even though I have told my wife that was the intent And it truly has been, but I haven't done it yet lol!

When your wife is player 2

Got a great deal, from a former Lego Employee..... Paid 110 for it... local deal... box and manuals are in great shape

Just found this at a thrift store today. Minty box, complete with all instructions/paperwork! So awesome.

Had it in the front seat but the seatbelt bell kept going off...

Don't know what happened at Amazon Italy yesterday but I was quick enough to react. One of them shipped today, so I guess the order will be fullfilled. Now only to wait and see what's actually in the box

I spotted a used R2-D2 10225 on Ebay for $150 + $3.96 shipping. It's the best deal I had seen in a bit and was able to snag it about 20 minutes after they posted it. $150 was my upper limit for this set, so hopefully it arrives and is correct and complete.

Just got 10217 Diagon Alley, and 4842 Hogwarts, used and (hopefully) complete for £215 delivered. I get to build a couple of great sets and double my money afterwards!

All - if you are reading this, I worked out a deal with [mention=40902]clintonjoseph[/mention] about a month ago on a few sets. He was very reasonable and the transaction was very smooth. He threw in a bonus with the package and I'd like to believe this Savers deal was karma returning the favor back to him. This kind of deal couldn't happen to a better guy. Congrats! I'm so happy for you!

Picked up a 310 Esso Station recently and got round to building it. It's in really nice condition for it's age, probably around 55 years old.

75106 Imperial Poop Carrier 70% off. A few years ago I would have bitten hands off to get that deal.

My CL hot streak came to an end, someone beat me to this one.
