All you that hold these for 8 years and don't crack are gonna have super ragrets. While I'm off on wall street you'll be sitting looking at a shiny sticker wishing you could of had the riches of those loser flippers. I get a lot of calls in the middle of the night of people asking me what to do with these and I just say think of the riches from being impatient. Ed- (what Emazers might say now)

Not really a “deal” but Barnes and Noble has the Harry Potter bricktober minifigures listed for sale now: https://m.barnesandnoble.com/w/toys-games-lego-harry-potter-hogwarts-professors-minifigure-4-pack/33608164?ean=0673419294300

I'll send over my AOL CD.

Just so I'm clear, in your scenario, a person makes $2.60 profit for every $1 spent, in a matter of a week, and you blame them for doing it?

1/5000 sets made without gloss. Next we will see 1/5000 with glitter on the box, 1/5000 in black and white, 1/5000 with Lou Ferrigno flexing in the background....

Not mine, found it on Reddit. Who knew I could be charging a premium for building the sets before selling them?!?

Still $0.02 and unsellable in store, but the $14.99 price will become active tomorrow (or so I have been told).

wow, i wonder what my 0711 benny will fetch. it's very rare as it's the only 0711 they produced. heck, i'll even throw in a 711 logo napkin.

I see no one has said it yet...so.. Yabba Dabba Doo! ?

This has been very frustrating, I'm out!

What complete and utter bullshit.

Wrong, this changed years ago. The only conceivable advantage of rigging a listing this way is to show up as the lowest "item price"

Like I said, it's just sour grapes that they didn't get them in hand before everyone else, bitterness that supply exceeds demand, and fear that if they hold them something else will suppress the market. Because otherwise they'd happily double their money and move on or quietly hold them for a rebound.

Buildables are so 2017

They get an immediate response of not accepted, try again. Some buyers feel like they can say "are you sure you don't want to accept my offer?", or want to state that "It isn't worth what you are asking for", others just want to try to beg, and plead "Please, it's for the orphans, or the handicapped vets, or we just had a house fire and all my babies LEGO were destroyed. Likely yes, but at that point you would have such a toxic transaction - that there would be no way that it would end well. You can not force a buyer (or seller) to complete a transaction. Yes, they may get a ding on their account, but trying to force a transaction will not end well. A seller is fairly helpless, so always proceed with some caution (and read the offers so it doesn't happen).

Since being no longer available in UK, Vader and Stormtrooper are going for £50 a pair. Will steadily increase as time goes by

Wish I would’ve had time to submit an entry. I hope there’s another.

Not enough demand. The movie is “so so” and the Brickheadz theme seems to have average demand for the people shelling out $$. I think the public is still stuffed from too much LEGO since 2016. about 75% of mine have been bought by resellers so far. At least some folks think there is longer term value.

Online order cancelled, but store near me says they have them. Might be worth a shot.

Eh, from what the inventory search tells me, it's the same price as online. But if you go in-store, you'll get the usual 10% off discount.

Just as much as my 3246, 3457, 2167, etc...All one of a kind!

If you remove the glued seal, it says these were made July of 2018. Just FYI if that matters to anyone on the chances they "remake" these. I say No Way. All credibility would go down the drain even further than their Black Card special.

Even better when you're sold out and already on to the next thing.

two Sanctuaries and one Marketplace:

Still higher than my average profit for most items Some people think $10 net is great for $10 item. The good news is, there are only 5000 of these, so the more of these sold, the rarer your $48 item is. On the same token, I am mad at people who sell these for $48 instead of $55 where they should be

So you sell a Benny for $48 on Ebay with Free Shipping… That’s almost 5x what you paid at Target… You're rich… Should have bought 50+ sets… Then you Pay Target Redcard $10.27… (8.25% sales tax in my state) Then PayPal takes $1.69… Then USPS takes $3.96 for 1st Class Package Shipping… Then Ebay takes a $4.80 Final Value Fee And because you did a Three Day Auction (shipment received from Target on Thursday and wanted end date of Sunday) Ebay tacks on an extra $1 Special Duration Fee… You profit $26.28, a little over 2.5x your initial purchase price... That number gets lower when selling the $15 Walmart ones... Even lower when people aren't buying yours because someone else is giving them away at $35...

Better not tell Jangbricks.

It looks like 10 of 16 sets are funded as of tonight. There's a little less than 2 months to go. Three others are basically 2/3rds of the way there. I'd call it a success, so far. I hope they can get everything out without a glitch so we can definitely call this a success. I'd love to see them run this program 1-2x a year. And hopefully, if this one is successful, it will attract some other people, so that the competition is even better, and the quality even better. Hope there's another one so you can submit @donbee

If you have access, Army/Air Force Exchange online has Assembly Square on sale 15% off for $237 and no sales tax is always nice. Sent from my SM-G960U1 using Brickpicker Forum mobile app

BHz are an Enigma compared to other Lego series...and the recent surprise of the Mice and LM2 "exclusives" have knocked more than a few resellers off their fences...the retirement rumors also has discounted BHz getting arm sweeped which gives the perception of becoming scarce.

114 Guggenheims @ $53 per. Now brings my total of Guggenheims to 190. No more for me.

I'm inclined to agree. Darth will prob do alright. 8$ buy in not great but not bad. [ insert shiny #sticker joke here ]

Sold my last 8 vader bhz overseas for $15ea and I’ll be happily picking up more at $8 locally. That’s all I know.

Stay way. Run, in fact

Lego Brickheadz have had a bit of an oddball reputation recently.. with end-of-year (2018) rumors swirling about the termination of the product line which was promptly followed by (not only) the continuation of the product, but the current secondary-market frenzy of the exclusive The Lego Movie 2 models. It's hard to argue that this specific niche of LEGO collectible lacks, at least in part, the ability to turn the sticker price into a bit of return though there are plenty of examples where this is simply not the case as well. I wanted to get some insight from you fine folks as I can't seem to get off the fence on this one.. Shop-Lego currently has the Brickheadz Darth Vader listed at a discount price of 7.99, 20% markdown from it's retail price of $9.99. I have been examining the current market prices of the past Brickheadz Star Wars sets, and for the most part, I am seeing a nice safe shelf-price range of 13-19 currently for the average model (not including the high-demand items such as Boba Fett) that have come and gone before.. Not only does there seem to be a markup of at least 40-50% once they are no longer available via retail, this particular character is a mainstay original character--I mean it's Darth right? What Brickheadz Star Wars collection would be complete without this guy? The set is also incredibly AESTHETICALLY pleasing in my opinion as they captured the classic character quite well. I honestly feel at this point that the set is currently undervalued but I want more opinion as I am not really a savvy collector of this line of LEGO. How do others feel about this? cheers

Investment wise , wouldn’t touch them myself, but for a personal build it’s not a bad price.

Wow, it's expensive to be superstitious.

you have people here who "invest" in lego - they buy 2 sets one to keep and one to sell. then you have people with quarters of millions of dollars invested . both parties are valid investors who have drastically different goals and outlooks. in the end, the biggest determinant in near term price action for a given LEGO set is the seller count. higher seller count = poorer near term performance. although there are only 5000 of each bh made in this series, in the near term there are waaaaay more sellers than usual for something this rare. once the casual mom and pop investors have their day in the sun and the seller count declines, patience will be rewarded by nonlinear exponential price appreciation . everyone who invested in this set will be a winner. some will win much much more than others.

IIRC I just sent mine in, since I consider the seals "taping"

the restrictions were that it had to be limited to the builder's palette on Studio 2.0 and limited to 2,000 piece total. I heard that the minifigure selection was very limited in the palette too. The total piece count of 2,000 probably eliminated the possibility of good modular buildings.

jazlecraz (the builder) stated: Hi everyone and thanks for the support so far! For those asking about motorising this model, I actually designed the model to be compatible with a power functions motor and battery box. See the attached image for some basic steps on how this conversion works. Disclaimer: This motor conversion has not been tested yet and so may need some tweaking to get it to work reliably, but I believe the basic concept is sound. Similar approaches have been proven to work by other builders on this new roller coaster track. If this model hits the crowdfunding target I will put together some instructions on how to do the motorised conversion and post them here. Thanks again everyone! And I hope the backers enjoy the model (assuming we meet that pre-order goal!) P.S. You can check out some more images of the set and the motorised version of the train on my Flickr stream: https://www.flickr.com/photos/65513684@N04/?

So i finally get a cool number..... Sent from my VS995 using Brickpicker Forum mobile app

Thanks for the advice! I have a Bricklink profile but have never sold anything there. I haven't shipped anything international either, other than eBay's GSP, which isn't really international for me.

I have seen enough MOCs to recognize the similar feel to this one here yet the design could nicely enough be released as an official LEGO product. The price for what all you get is not too bad considering there have been significantly smaller custom kits available through various fan sites costing more than it would be to acquire everything separately and then some (such as a near two hundred piece vehicle listed at roughly $60). Typically rules limit creativity; however in many cases working within limitations can help bring out the best for a finely focused feature like this fort. The build is nice to look at while "generic" enough to fit with our own medieval monuments and possibly fun to play around having every area filled with fitting details over needlessly fancy fluff. Though the AFOL Designer Program may be in its infancy, the fan community (not to mention the selling platform of Bricklink) is far and well away from. Also the program could help elevate Bricklink into being more than simply a site to buy parts from. I have high hopes and support this project with every fiber of my being. Let the building begin....

If the packaging is nice (and includes Lego branding) and it's a "limited edition" then it will skyrocket on the secondary market. Shame Lego won't produce something like this under the Ideas banner though.
