You hold onto those. I hear the market is saturated. Check back next year.

Why would we share fake news? We´re not Promobricks.

This is the one time you should have broken tradition and went with a middle finger instead of the thumb.

I bought my first Lego train set! It’s the High Speed Passenger train set (60051). Bought it via eBay for a little under $109 brand new and sealed. I think I got a great deal.

Bought a Winter Village Station at 25% off, and then some train track packs and the $15 Friends Winter car set to get myself over $55 to get the Nutcracker promo. All this at LEGOLAND California.

Well, I’ve been quite busy for the past 6 months or so…but I have been slowly piecing together and building a train terminal that I purchased the instructions from on eBay (https://www.ebay.com/itm/Lego-Station-PDF-instructions-MOC-Building-City-Modular-/152374747648?hash=item237a3e2200). I also did some modifications and customized it a little bit by adding a comic shop and a small convenience store (with stickers from Brick Builders Pro (http://www.brickbuilderspro.com/). It was quite the project and I just finished it, so I thought I would show some pictures to you all. I had some help sourcing some of the parts from my local Bricks and Minifigs store. There are around 12,000-13,000 parts to the building. Eventually I plan on adding a 60051 High Speed Passenger train or two and doing some more changes/modifications to it….but I am going to save that for a later date.

Great timing of that video! I do believe that these Elves Dragons offer something that will be sought after when they're retired for a while and left-over stock at retail has dried up. With the usual disclaimer: when bought at good discount!

Hudson Bay! Many sets are 15% or 25% off: http://www.thebay.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/en/SearchDisplay?storeId=10701&catalogId=10652&langId=-24&pageSize=12&beginIndex=0&sType=SimpleSearch&resultCatEntryType=2&showResultsPage=true&pageView=image&searchSource=Q&searchTerm=lego&x=6&y=3 And you can currently use the promo code "VIP" for another 25% discount. The result is 44% off for sets with an existing 25% discount, and 36% off for sets with a 15% base discount. Shipping is free above 100 CAD. Have fun

Good choice!

They had an end table set up right at the front door at a local Walmart. Sadly only one Clayface but they had a bunch of the four Dimension sets shown. I most likely bought too many.

forget about the return and thinking about 10+ or whatever you sold in the last couple days. I sold some GBH when it peaked last month or so and got 1 return. Price come down more than half. If you ask me how i feel the return, of cause it is not good. Try to focus on the positive and move on.

I love the idea, but I agree something needs added.

Oops. Forgot to mention the coupon. They gave annual pass holders coupons this year, one in October, November and December, for 25% off one item.

Lego can buy some ToO from my vault

Absolutely amazing, i love it!! This station deserves the Emerald Night

Found some scraps at a local Kmart. Maybe I didn’t look hard enough last time. Needed some extras to push me over $100 to use $21 bonus points. Also used some points accumulated during my clearance spree last week. This whole lot ended up being FREE.

Man why make everyone’s life harder . Cancel the order and move on . I would rather cancel right at the beginning than deal with the headache later on .

I'm surprised than people are surprised. this will only get worse . not expecting any meaningful action until Cyber Monday

Hmmmmm, what to do? Send to FBA? Hold awhile longer? Put away for a year? So many options right now.......

Bought two complete sets of these for £5 for each brickheads on the back of recent TRU 2 for £15 deal and some £5 vouchers on £15 spend that I got recently. Not gone too hard on them, since always difficult to tell with a new line.

Sold half of my inventory for ave £75. Happy to hold the rest until this gaps up to £100. Hope there is a big rush to the bottom for xmas which will clear out a lot of the competition

Quite poor reporting by Brick Fanatics, running a story based on a random throw away comment in a thread. poor journalism

I do this all the time! If i know my item is well priced, and it has a bunch of watchers but no bites... i'll raise the price by $5 and it will sell pretty quick haha.

Strange that you bring up ethics on a site where the whole goal is to buy Lego sets and sell them at a higher price later. My charging a restocking fee is not unethical. I have to cover costs like shipping- outside of Amazon's crappy shipping credit. Additionally, I don't know what condition this set will be in when I get it back. If it was opened, it dramatically decreases the value. You don't have to like my business practices, but please don't tell me what to do with my money or inventory. I have heard and seen real shady tactics employed when selling Lego, or anything for that matter. I posted the return not to seek approval, but to make everyone aware that people will be issuing return requests, especially the sales around $100 when the price has now dropped by $30.

Speaking of strange eBay happenings. I check my listed items regularly. I noticed one of my items had 5 watchers on it. I've realised in most cases watchers means other sellers and if people are taking notice then i should probably look at the listing. Sure enough I realised I'd become the cheapest item available by £5 despite me never listing as lowest price. To up my margin to match the market I raised my price by £5 and the item that had been sat for 2 weeks sold overnight. High rated bidder too. I guess pushing up my price scared them into a sudden purchase. Very odd but long may it continue lol

If they've been hacked and have the same password on all their accounts then it's possible. As you say if you send to verified address thats shown on paypal and send recorded delivery you are covered under seller protection but leave a day before dispatching so if it is a fraud case it has more chance of being picked up and flagged to you. Likelihood is though it'll just turn out to be a normal person who only uses their account every so often if they can't find an item anywhere else. Earlier in the year I sold a tumbler on eBay to a zero rated bidder and i worried like mad, checked everything i could, including even streetviewing the address, covered my ass and sent it and it was a perfectly normal customer, easy transaction and good feedback.

Toys R US Speed Champion : BOGO40

If they had two cycles both with power streams on a black base to simulate the scene that would be cool and probably justify a £30 price tag

Time for @exciter1 to pull out his former avatar .....

i bought 20 at target.... last week. no brainer , this set is a quick flip.... not sure for the long run....

Just finished it WOW Now to find where to put it...

Any thought about corresponding labels to bricklink lot types? For example under your plant - whip vine, that is a minifig utensil under bricklink inventory, and the tail vine is an animal body part. I think bricklink's inventory does a very good job of part separation, and it'd be pretty easy to harvest all the categories. No need to reinvent the wheel! It would be immensely useful for people with large bricklink stores or those who are already used to bricklink. Having pictures corresponding directly with correct lot / lot type / item number list would be excellent! If you have a label printer yourself, I bet you could sell sets of the labels as well, especially for those of us who would have no other use for a label printer.

I don't think eBay hangs out in the forums anymore. He's taken issue with how we sully his reputation.

Those only got that high thanks to @cory730 buying $45 listings

Would be hilarious if it was available at retail from LEGO Shop at Home and other retailers nearly the entire time people were paying 4x on amazon...oh wait.

It’s not so much what we built, but what we didn’t build today. Finally put my future BrickLinkers to work. They did alright.

My son and I were looking through my miscellaneous boxes of stuff to go through, and we found a used 7623 Indiana Jones Temple Escape I had grabbed off of eBay a couple years ago. No minifigs and no airplane. But it has the important parts. He decided to MOC a little something from it. So here’s his alternative build, with a Speed Champions mini and a Minecraft sword.

Here's half my collection. Like if you like! Six ucs if you include the snowspeeder on the last post!

Built this the other day but put it on the wrong conversation. Like if you like it!!!!

How did you manage to get that many?!?

Gotta love it when the manager of the local TRU calls you and asks if you want all the leftovers from the BB-8 build....

Got an order from the same person. Looked like they made dozens of orders. Problem was their IP was from India, not New York. They were quickly booted. The theory was they were possibly phishing for personal information by making orders. If yours was from today, then the same person made another round of orders since mine was a couple days ago.

Given how women centric the BBC has become I expect this will be the first news item on the News at Ten when it's released

First of all - I apologize for editing your post but those two particular names are not welcome in the general forums. The quick explanation is that we have no desire for search engines to reach these posts. That first one in particular has a history here - many a bad link were posted (unintentionally bad) and some users even had their router's DNS entries rewired due to some malware on that site. I'm not really taking offense, I'm asking why you choose to be here if you don't agree with what this site is about - making money from LEGO? And I'm telling you that your language and replies with respect to resellers aren't conducive to intelligent and appropriate conversations. Nobody believes the word "scalper" is meant to be a positive thing and yeah, sometimes people on this site buy up all the products and resell them to make some money and often take advantage of a manufacturer's own inability to see the larger picture about perceived or caused scarcity. Some question the ethics, some are just jealous they don't have the capital or foresight and others are just ... well, spoiled and upset they can't have the nice things too? (I'm not even sure on the history of why scalping is illegal... I guess the event promoters don't like the bad press it generates and it just seems to be an easier thing for the law to control.) So to be blunt - If you want to hang out in these forums, I am asking you to be more respectful towards the members and what goes on. MOST active posters are resellers in some way.. some long term, some short term. And yes we makes jokes about people being QFLLs or reseller scum but they've been through this type of discussion multiple times and it's a joke people don't take too seriously. I have to agree with you about the erosion of morals in our population.. it's kind of sad. Unfortunately that leads often into political discussions so I'm going to tread lightly, but I maintain that if you're supporting those companies, you really ought to think about why and perhaps change your own behavior before passing judgement on "resellers." (this is a general comment, not directed to you or anyone in particular) Capitalism... gotta love it to hate it.
