They did the same to me. Letter in the mail increasing my credit limit! My first thought was "who the hell spends this much at Target each month!?"...but then I looked in the mirror.... Sent from my SM-G950U using Brickpicker Forum mobile app

Sainsbury's deal of the day..

Well, here's my haul for playing along with this Black VIP Card game: Black VIP card Scarif minifig: free in-store give away when I purchased the MF Y-Wing print: email code DJ minifig: email code Card Holder: email code Mudtrooper: added free by CS rep because Card Holder wasn't showing in shipping confirmation online code error Thankfully I was an early buyer, early builder, and early seller so I got all my money back from the original purchase. All in all, I came out ahead in all this...but I think Lego could have done better. Even something like the Space Slug or Comic Con Solo movie MF cockpit would have really made the program special.

Lego Ideology: RRP $10 BrickHeadz = Printed Pieces RRP $400 Hogwarts Castle = Stickers

Lego 10210 Imperial Flagship (new in open box) for $615 shipped, with 15% off coupon and 8% ebay bucks, brought it down to a net of $523.

I flipped a couple too. There was a nice immediate profit on those. I sold out a few weeks ago ... and then my son, who doesn't bother with LEGO much anymore, asked for a LEGO Fire Station for Christmas. GMAFB

Some of these Nexo sets look like different parts of a giant mecha. This would be 1 of the feet. LEGO should have made these sets with optional builds to combine them into 1 huge mecha ala Devastator or Megazord or Voltron

BH need to be designed so a mini-figure can be placed inside (maybe even clear plates on the bottom so it can be seen...right now that cavity is just novelty complexity with no purpose...basically there should a reason to touch a BH build again otherwise it sits on the shelf as a dust collector

I think the microworlds were awesome when there was no Minecraft theme. But once the minifig-sized Minecraft sets came out, the microworlds suddenly didn't seem so great anymore. That would explain the drop in interest and resale prices.

This set brought me out of my dark ages! To make you feel better maybe, I paid full RRP AND shipping from Shop at Home. No free shipping then! Edit: $121.48 with tax and shipping. December 2010. Edit edit: I also bought it without any gifts with purchase.

circle of QFLL life.

First time paying over RRP for a retired set. Picked up 10193 Medieval Market Village NISB for $160 shipped off of EBay. Set has been on my list ever since I came back out of my Dark Ages. The 15% off coupon helped sweeten the deal, and so did the $15+ in EBay Bucks I earned (and since EBay bucks are calculated BEFORE coupons are applied, it worked out to almost 10% EBay bucks instead of the 8% offered in the promo).

I find that stale bread rolls work great to cushion shipments. Don't tell me I'm the only one.

I thought the same thing. If I ordered something from Amazon and it came with grocery bags as packing, my first inclination would be it's a terribly run business. Then, if there was some thing wrong with the product, it would make me more upset. I'm a piddly Ebay seller and think grocery bags are meant for the trash, not for re-selling.

I sold over 40 Fire Stations over the last few days @ $110 and remaining 10 @ $120 , both with $24.97 shipping. I didn't know they were going to be so hot. Bought all of them for $50+tax at Walmarts few months back. Sold last one today for $130 + shipping

ordering from WM has been like playing roulette lately ; sometimes you win sometimes they cancel.

they banned all business accounts and corresponding household ones a while back

They’ll disappear at 10% off day after Christmas here in SoCal.

Check your emails from Staples. Mine had a 15% off shipping supplies coupon, good through 12/29. (Not sure if the code is unique, or not.)

Just got a fresh shipment at Dollar General.

We have another thread for the last 3 pages.

That list reads like a load of sets many here wish they had never bought ?

Me like

Target has the same price + $10 gc https://www.target.com/p/lego-harry-potter-hogwarts-express-75955/-/A-53609065

I guess sarcasm is difficult to read on a forum at times.

Correct. ebay offers between 15-25% off shipping. PayPal also offers discounted shipping which you can calculate from http://www.paypal.com/shipnow once you're logged in. So comparing those rates to the shipper websites' general prices isn't apples to apples.

OT: Ah MMV, 1 of my 1st investments. Bought 1 at around MSRP with plan to double my money in 2 years. The audacity of the young and inexperienced. I was lucky I broke even after 4 years

That’s the best part. I don’t use them either. I bubble wrap them and then fill with various materials like cardboard, styrofoam bits, etc.

A word to the wise...even if you "win" this fight with the buyer, you can still lose and lose far more than the cost of that Scuttler. A pissed off buyer can f*** your world up as a seller on Amazon very very easily and in ways that are not easy to defend against. With a buyer like this, you are much better off swallowing your pride and sense of righteousness and just issuing a refund. I do this all the time and detest doing it every time...until I check my Amazon balance.

It takes you 30 mins to pack each package, really? I take it this is your packing style

15% off coupon at Ebay for Toys and Video Games. Worked with Lego for me.

72006 Nexo Knights Axl's Rolling Arsenal for $29.99 Wal-Mart Rollback (50% off). I ordered just one for what look like some unique parts for creative personal build projects. Very low resell volume on eBay though, even if it says trending at $49.32...

$47.82 @ Amazon on 11/2 - 11/9

This is going to make a fantastic $1 clearance score after Christmas! The Target's and Walmart's around me are loaded with these things!

heads up walmart sends out $10 off $35 store pick up coupon to registered account. Not sure what's the pattern, but I do receive one in a newly registered account. The other recently established account received nothing.

Never had any issues with Kmart myself. Go for it.?

LEGO Batman Movie LEGO BATMAN MOVIE Egghead Mech Food Fight 70920 Building Kit (29... $17.99 [40% off] Dropped 14% on Dec 12 4:04 PM

It's part of the Black VIP Card promo when you bought a new UCS Falcon during the initial launch. I felt a great disturbance in the orders, like if millions of buyers cried out, then...

So I opened this to verify contents for buyer I already have here (you guys are sharks). I heated the seals with a blow dryer. They held up well, especially compared to the ones they use now. cartons inside similar to the SSD, piece of white cardboard and manual sandwiched between. I assume sticker in one of the boxes, don't suppose if anyone knows for sure? The interior boxes do have push tabs instead of seals.

I think we're having 2 different arguments here: 1. Tabby proclaimed Dr.Who to be "not a turkey", to which Frank B. made the (IMHO correct) callout claiming that getting barely over RRP after 2 years still classifies a set as a Turkey. 2. Everyone else then jumped in to call Tabby's investment a winner, because he turned 22GBP into 60GBP in 2 years. I think Tabby's sale was indeed a winner (and indicative of the "new" LEGO investing), while at the same time, if what Tabby sold it for is a good indication of market value, the Ideas Dr.Who set is a turkey as per Frank's point, because people's expectations were much higher (should have at least made it to 2xRRP).

Nearly empty bottle of lotion by the computer - nice! Sick score, pure jealousy.

You're not entirely wrong CathyVT.....but I think the Brickheadz are an exception to the norm. We're all still trying to figure out this Brickheadz thing....

Fairground Mixer $260 FBM. Didn't mean too, the lowest price caught up to me. $90 buy in from the last great TRU sale.

Decided to build 4 sets into 1 big train station. Will give it more body by using a Tower Bridge set, and add a glass (curved) roof.
