I hate to admit it, but operating in "Christmas mode" (fulfilling several orders every day) during summer is wearing me down. I may need to shift to undercutting other sellers via FBA instead Or maybe I am just getting too old for this game

For those of you lamenting how you may have missed out on the b&n sale, amazon & target have a lot of those same sets discounted online right now. How do you know what sets b&n discounted? Just ask them for the list of course!

Saturn V was in stock on Amazon a few minutes ago, got a few.

Talk to a human? You have got to be kitten me 😹

You can find those deals from time to time in France at our local toy shops or shops selling toys which have the collector lego boxes. In France we usuallly get : buy two get the cheapest one - 50% or buy two get one free. It is actually a good sale for Big collector series because you usually only find them in Lego store For example you can find this sale in King Jouet or Picwictoys (Before Toys ur us) in France. They usually do the sale 3-4 times a year. The best toy shop is the King jouet in Paris, they have a lot of nice big boxes there. For example they had the UCS millenium falcon and the UCS Imperial star destroyer on sale too. They came to around $1150 for the two sets. Didn't have enough cash to buy them but certainly a good deal. You can't buy them online though but maybe if you came on vacation to France you could purchase them at the same time. The sale usually lasts 10 days. Regards

"Moderating"? Nah. They only page me when people start complaining about out of topic posts on Daily Deals thread

1. Perhaps buyer used to live in CA? I have the same number since college and I have not live there in ages [emoji3] 2. I bet he/she wants a deal outside of eBay 3. Technically eBay frown on the above but it is up to you to text or not

geezer. don't you have some boxes to pre-fab instead of "moderating"?

Do not text them. Give them one chance to ask the questions via ebay messaging. If no response, cancel the sale and relist.

Finished this up last week. Its a really nice set with some interesting building techniques. I bought the set for the bookshop - my parents wrote children's books when I was a kid and it reminds me of the independent bookshops we used to visit for their presentations, but honestly I liked the house build more. I know this has received criticism for being small, etc, but the details are really nice. I built the Grand Emporium a few months ago and there is a definitely a difference in style between the earlier modulars and the trend of newer ones, but not a bad one in my opinion. I do agree that LEGO missed a great opportunity to create more clever book titles like they did with the Palace Cinema movie posters, and I feel like they could have tossed in a couple more leaf elements for the tree, but overall I think its a really great set!

Would you mind posting the full list? I imagine it's a good pre retirement clue

no worries, I already texted the guy to buy LEGO directly from me to avoid tax and fees 😁

I edited the phone number out. Otherwise, carry on.

I'm surprised that phone number didn't get flagged by ebay automatically. apparently a simple " throws off their AI.

At least it is not 0 ? Technically people buy & sell on Craiglist etc without feedback I do not do those kinds of deals so I usually do not bother answering outside of eBay.

Got 2 Harry Potter castles in France. One -30℅ for around $300 The other one I had to chose a second set for -50%. Bought the death star and the harry Potter castle. Got the castle for - 50 % so around $220 The death star is for my personal collection so don't mind paying the price. Need to get more 71043 on sale if I can. I'm sure it's going to be a very good investing set. Probably around $700 a few years after retiring and maybe more after.

Mine screams at me because my zip code doesn't match my nearest zip code PO, so it's not the "origination" PO, and "they don't get credit for it." I have to drive through that zip code to get to my zip code's PO. I'm not driving an extra 20 minutes round trip, when I can just drop off at my nearest PO.

in store 10% still applies. not hard coded.

People here are very helpful. The fact that a 30% off deal is even posted amongst a group of resellers is amazing. You can't expect others to do your research, aka homework, for you and tell you what to buy.

more sellers = more competition = less profit. it's that simple. the smartest and most successful sellers on this site like to stfu about what is working and what they are doing.

Lego Movie 2 and the Ninjago Movie are going to be your best bet. Don't forget those stackable Friends Heart boxes.

Even working at IHOP won't prepare you for the amount of pancakes you are going to see from B&N... but I must love them as I've been picking at the list for over an hour. 50+ orders in... waiting for my ban

Two international orders finally arrived - one from France and one from Norway. They were placed mid-late May. Not too bad actually. Still waiting on one from Denmark and another from the Netherlands.

Star Wars Heir to the Empire 1 and Star Wars tales 24 Newsstand version.

Who’s we? And how come you don’t know what we know? And when you find out, can you let me know?

Sorry that its dead to you, but hopefully you will come back one day. I am sorry that it is taking time, but that is what it is, time. I am busy in my work world and don't really have the time or energy to work on the site during the week, so most of my work is during my weekend evenings. Is that really a crime, I sure hope not. There is life, work, family and BrickPicker. I am doing what I can, when I can and sorry that it may not be good enough for you. I do hope you can understand.

Yep. That’s because it’s all about money and control. Not about saving lives. Kill Main Street so the billionaires can get richer.

It's why I throw shade on certain sets at times. I threw shade all over 10243 about it being out too long and being the next Pet Shop... all while cleaning them up from Walmart at $110. Each flipper that you convince a set is going to under perform... is one less competitor you need to deal with.

But in addition: the word "sollen" does not really mean "should" as the translater says. "Sollen" is much stronger, its more like "they have to" than "should". "should would be "sollten", which is a lot more softer and unsecure. The translater does not make a difference between "sollen" and "sollten" - but there is a huge difference.

I was on facebook marketplace and saw a LEGO store clearance. Everything said "LEGO", they even had the LEGO LEGO Shop at Home screens. The only thing that didn't have LEGO was the "contact us". What a scam.

yeah. I think a lot of people read it as, "don't worry, this won't effect things" I read it as "we will not be extending the life of products just because there is a shortage currently"

lol - that was your VERY FIRST post on bp - you came in gunz a blazin' no doubt, i gave you you're first ' brickpicker LIKE on that post. don't let the haters win. you can't be surprised that doubters exist. you were on the money last year - thanks!

When someone leaks it should be around August/September usually. I did post it last year & got nothing but querky replies. Won't do that again.

Don't forget about us girls! 😉

Viruses don’t survive heat but yeah the general population has been brainwashed into believing that this is the “new normal”

I agree, it's an amazing rendition but I think the part count is closer to 20k. That would mean four (4) Hogwarts sets ($1600) + extra pieces to complete this. If I won the lottery, I would do it in a heartbeat but since I'm not made of money... I'll appreciate the pictures.

Apple knows wat's up.....already releasing a lower end iphone...Apple is a leader in market research...they know folks with less money still shop...but downscale from normal...if they want it...they have to get it ...in some form...it's like self deprivation is practically a sin for western society.

When it's done. The Brickfolio will be the first thing to come back from what Jeff tells me.

Just look around at all the other Star Wars product, from Pops to Hasbro to clothing. It’s all the same. Its just recycled every couple of years. They endlessly recycle the action figures. The basic versions. Same figures different packaging. It’s the same strategy LEGO uses for its endless police and fire stations. There’s a known window and turnover to this stuff and new kids are constantly coming into the market. And new adults are constantly dipping back into being consumers. Just last night a 35 year old friend of mine admitted he had never seen a Star Wars film all the way through until last month, when he sat down with his 6 year old to start watching them. Boom. Two new consumers right there that don’t care a thing about how many Luke Landspeeders have come before - just that they can get one today.

2008-2012 somewhere in there was the alltime peak. It was absolutely insane, sets were flying off the shelves, everyone bought the stuff. The waves were very nice & Disney wasn't in charge of the franchise. I haven't bought anything Star Wars since 2014.

TLG's extensive cooperation with Disney has become a business choke hold that might hurt them really bad long-term.

These are big partnerships so it will take a lot of time before implosions can happen. However, you can certainly see some cracks. For example, have you noticed how small the Star Wars toy sections at Walmarts and Targets are compared to 2 years ago? As for 75278, easy pass just like 75187 due to my refusal to support the Disney SW trilogy. It may not be smart business decision though, we'll see

Mandolorian Season 2 is set for October 2020. Maybe a winter wave instead?

Welcome. Do share, when your ready:)

Those two 30 degree days a year must be murder.

Nah, you just don't have enough storage space. ?

Hello, not long ago pulled my bricks out of storage to introduce the kids, they are hooked now! This reignited my own love for Lego. I have toyed with the idea of investing, but haven't pulled the trigger yet. Still trying to learn the ropes.
