40422 Frankenstein

40351 Brickheadz Ghost available on amazon (from amazon) $9.99 ships 2-4 weeks. Looks like Lego may run these again.

Thanks LEGO for sticking with in-store promos during covid. Jeez...

Today was a small one 41121 Rafting Adventure from the Friends theme. Buy-in was $15.90 on July 26, 2016. Sale price was $50 from a buyer in CA. Sales expenses were $21.65 (due to CA Shipping) so the return was $12.45 for a 78% ROI. Not huge but one more set that I do not own anymore.

Managed to get 18 Hagrids. Could probably get a couple more but I don't really want to buy a bunch of the smaller sets. Also cashed in my two Beetles!

Package found. I went two streets down to someone with the same house number. I knocked but no one was home. My name clearly on the package. So I'm good with Bespin in hand now, problem solved!

Blasphemy

I personally would send Walmart a message that you got the extra sets. If they don't reply keep the sets then, but otherwise wouldn't sit right with me keeping the extra sets.

All you buttholes that were lucky enough to get these shipped could at least post about it in the correct thread.

if memory on that set serves, I think it's a better fit for the small town near Hogwarts..Honey Dukes, Hogs Head and the like

I for one am extremely disappointed in each and everyone of you for not making Diagon Alley OOS at this point. Shame, shame I say.

This happened to me once. I ordered two individual HP CMFs to get over the $50 threshold on a couple of orders and received full cases instead. So I chatted their CS and offered to return the excess and they said to keep it.

Ordered all of the Monkey Kid sets, been waiting for these to hit before the holiday season.

My two Lambos (separate orders) arrived minty fresh from Zavvi this evening.

Despite the board policy against keeping leaked photos up, we will allow this one to stand. https://deadline.com/2020/04/universal-lego-group-construct-five-year-exclusive-film-partnership-to-create-new-movie-franchises-1202916170/

Friendly reminder:If you ARE ordering Don't forget to add your Mini VW code(if your holding one) to your order. I've forgotten before on other promo codes. So then have to order something else or listen to the dreamy LEGO C.S. hold music for an HOUR:)

Sold 10182 and 10185 for $1200 cash. Decided to keep 10190 to complete the collection, even though I don't actually consider it a modular. Now I've managed to snag every modular for under RRP over the past 3 years when I started collecting them.

Bespin Duel $84.99 free ship ($8) via eBay. I have two left but I'm going to wait and watch prices a bit before listing.

Fixed it for you. lol Mar. 5, 1962 a B-58 Hustler set the then speed record (ROUND TRIP) LA to NYC and back again to LA in 4 hrs 42 minutes (avg. speed 1214 MPH - going east, and avg. of 1081 MPH returning to LA. They had to slow down to 540 MPH to refuel each direction.) They could track the flight path by the reported broken windows going from coast to coast. Between the B-58 setting speed records over the USA and the competition for a civilian SST (I.E. Concord) the USA outlawed supersonic flight over the continental USA in 1973. So technically, the Batwing is illegal. lol Knowing the required design for the wings in order to achieve Mach 1+, I'm not sure the Batwing could accomplish it. But it is a comic book so what does science have to do with it.

The Best Buy sale 2-3 weeks ago, I ordered 3 AT-Haulers. All three came, no box, wrapped in shipping tape. Nope! Drove directly to Best Buy to return. Manager gave me some additional discounts, brought average price to about $56.27 each. I ordered 10 of some Ninjago Lloyd Spinner (70682) from Amazon last year before Christmas. I was shorted 1. Contacted Amazon. Since then, I've received 8 replacements. Called after 3rd or 4th. They said to keep them. But I kept receiving them. Latest 1 arrived on 7/23.

Might be late now, but if the complete order button doesn't work just wwitch the payment to card and then back to PayPal again. That fixed it for me.

If your delivery guy(F/M) is like mine, they scan all packages as delivered when they get them on their van, and then start their route.... frustrating, but by the evening the package typically shows up.

Mach 1 cruise, Mach 2 max is plenty fast to patrol Gotham City. Gonna break a lot of windows at those speeds.

Max speed: 1406mph... Still not as fast as the SR-71 Blackbird.

Ditto!

BrickHeadz GWP is between $45-50 at the moment. May be worth picking up ANY $99+ HP set, easy offset.

75101 First Order Special Forces TIE Fighter $100+shipping. Buy-in was $35.

And sold out again, but not before I got one in with my mini VW beetle code and a mario bag to make sure the promo ships

Not to rub it in, scratch that, definitely rubbing it in. My transaction(s) went through seamlessly last night, and was in bed by 12:15. Also had way more VIP points than I need to keep, so I got $300 in VIP rewards, getting The Alley down to a nice $106 after tax.

Backorder available at SaH

Just ordered one at 9.99. Missed this one for personal collection and have been kicking myself ever since! (well, that and the LEGO Movie ones). Edit: And just ordered ten more. You all should stay away because this one will never recover now.

Look closer

Shows for me: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/toys-games-lego-harry-potter-hedwig-75979/34871836?ean=0673419323598 Limit 2 on these. I wonder when stores will get stock. I really like this set and price point, and it will be tough to stock up when SAH and Barnes and Noble, at least in my experience, are pretty stringent on limits.

$200 or bust. I haven’t hit a quintuple in awhile.

in store: Here's a magical little treat for Harry Potter fans™! Get a FREE Harry Potter™ and Hedwig™: Owl Delivery set with LEGO® Harry Potter™ purchases over $40. IN-STORE ONLY. 09/01-09/15.

Yeah and it was a limit of only 2. I'm betting people are going for the $99 purchase w/ GWP. Not to mention the Burrows is a great set at a good price for what you get.

Polybag is in-store only.

No Hagrid yet. Also, limit 3. They may have made a lot of these?

it's up!

most of the bump in sales this year is from April where i sold more than November and December 2019 combined. 1200+ sales in that month all fbm. that was the month when fba stock was depleted, amazon wasn't accepting inbound and demand went insane. i was selling us capitol building for $230-240 fbm - now the price has collapsed back down to $190. if sales had continued at April's pace I would have upper 6 figures in annual sales but they have gone back to slightly above average which for me is now about 400-450 orders a month. i have only done a single fba shipment this year of 250 sets over 24 sku and it was pitfa between how long it took to get checked in even though it got to the dc in 1 day. This is the Florence NJ dc which i find to be the best of all in terms of almost nothing ever going wrong. Then dealing with amazon shutting down some listings because pricing error - price is "too high" even though i'm $1 below the buybox wtf, then 3 sku sold many times before having issues where i can't get them to list properly and then they are stranded and eventually need to be recalled, not to mention orders taking 5,6 10 days to ship out. maybe things have gotten better since late june. once we are well into flu season and people are hunkering down, essentials will be what amazon focuses on and lego sets start getting shipped in bubble mailers by the new warehouse hires 4 days past the promise by date. i personally would not feel comfortable surrendering control of my selling inventory to amazon warehouse at the height of the selling season given what i've seen up til now. maybe amazon will have everything working out and i will wish i had more time for eggnawgg , chestnutz and counting money. however my magic 8 ball is saying f'no . my fulfillment apparatus is honed at this point and i am ready to meet the challenge. i will now stfu about further encouraging more fbm sellers so no hate messages - thank you.

Invisible Man Brickhead is just 4 pieces - here's a leaked picture of the set:

My plan is to sell my two sets locally and wait until end-of-life to stock up for bigger gains after retirement.

Whew...I only knew just three answers...there's hope for me yet

wishing now that I had gone deeper on this one like I did with vader bust

I sold a 75021 Republic Gunship for $500 on a buy-in of 83.74 on March 8, 2014. After selling expenses of 98.68 the return on this was 317.58 for a 389% ROI . I also packaged up a 70743 Airjitsu and and 70600 Ninja Bike Chase for an $82.00 sale on a buy-in of $14.81. Sets purchased in 2016 and 2017. Selling expenses were $21.96 so return was 45.23 for an ROI over 300% I have a few more items listed on ebay as I prepare for the September Garage Sale (normally we do the sale in the Spring but the pandemic killed it this year.)

Last week I had my first major score on Facebook Marketplace. I got all this stuff for $50. Very little in the way of instruction booklets for the Lego, (sadly no Saturn V manual) But the Villa Savoy was a happy surprise when I found it under the rocket when I got home as I'm a big Le Corbusier fan.
