7029: Skeleton Ship attack. Cleaned and dried a bulk lot last week, built this Halloween morning. Now moving on to some star wars builds from 2006-08 era.

I started with this pile of used bulk. Bathed in it for a few years, and to this day, still haven’t sorted it all out. I did get a table for sorting though, so I have that going for me now.

Some Amazon accounts are getting an offer for a $10 Promo code on a future $20+ purchase throughout the app. All you need is to activate the coupon and make a purchase through the app, the promo code should be applied on the next app order.

First images of the new Ecto-1 have just surfaced - that's going to do well!

i have had the same vip account since 2008. with the way things have been going for last few years, i order up to the max without any issues. i have ordered 20x Las Vegas and 20x London in a single order in april b4 limits were cut down when there was a double vip no problem. split up other orders to stay within limits. during the holidays i go ape$hit. each year i buy more because the shop at home promos paired with the actual knowledge of what is retiring is really maximizing your cagr with the last minute topping off. i obtained 18x of the xmas tree promos last year. i'm sure there are bp'er who got many more than that. when you factor in the performance of the recent winning gwp, you may end up getting your shop at home purchase for 70-80% off maybe more if youre patient. i would say the main thing to do is not order so many in rapid succession that it triggers some type of fraud alert either from shop at home or your credit card. use a timer on your phone to pace yourself in 15-20 minute intervals. alternate between a credit card and paypal. its much harder to get banned then it used to be. you think shop at home banned anyone for buying too many ship in a bottle or saturn v? lol. no it was here have another. and another and another. in my experience the only time the limits reset is when shop at home changes the limits. so when i ordered limit 20 vegas, i tried to do 5 more, cancelled. then they cut it down to limit 3 and i was able to get 3 more in.

I know this is the deals forum, but for those purchasing future deals from Harrod's, here is the scoop. Harrod's used to have unlimited purchases, you could buy in any quantity you like. Then about a month ago they changed it to a limit of four of each item. Then this past week they set the limit at two per item. They are doing this for the exact reason you are thinking. BTW, they have been known to suspend accounts if these limits are violated. Don''t ask me how I know.:(

Harrod's also got the Assembly Square for $201: https://www.harrods.com/en-us/shopping/lego-creator-set-assembly-square-14824400

I second this...you can earn over $200 free on coinbase by just learning about crypto. If you feel like buying at least $100, use sodoubleoggood (if they'd like to post their link) or my referral and get $10 free. https://www.coinbase.com/join/winkle_0 (I don't care if you use this or not, just throwing it out there) I haven't used Gemini but have used Kraken. Lower fees than coinbase. For research, I'd recommend picking up The Bitcoin Standard by Saifedean Ammous. Fantastic book. Here's a great intro to BTC from Pomp:

Thank you!!!!! Link worked for me.

That series of castle is my all-time favorite. Someone in Berlin must have done the TRU Buy 3 Get 33% OFF multiple times to pull this off.

Also, check out Chainlink. General comment on the market cycles: in 2016/17 when btc started it's parabolic run, we knew it was all retail driven. This cycle will be led by institutions. Worth some research.

I think this is one of the rare sets where we are hoping for stickers in a few areas. Never thought the day would come.

Today was a sad day for me. Had to put our pet bunny to sleep. He was fine then all of a sudden stopped eating. Vet said rabbits are funny like that. We found him when the neighbor said a rabbit was running around their yard. He walked right up to us. He was blind in one eye and almost blind in the other. Took him home and fed and cleaned him up. Put ads out for a lost bunny but nobody claimed him. So he became our pet. We named him Stew. He was an awesome buddy and even litter box trained. The kids and me will miss him.

(I apologize, wrong thread) Lego Land Discovery Center, Schaumburg, IL. 30628 The Monster Book of Monster's. $20. 77905 Taskmaster's Ambush. $40. They said they got a shipment of 77904 Nebulan Frigate on Saturday 10/31 and sold out same day.

If a seller is new, or has limited seller experience, paypal will sometimes require some extra interaction with them (as a security measure, I believe). I have on occasion needed to ask the seller to get in touch with paypal to resolve things.

The 501st is the most prominently featured group of clones from the tv show clone wars and up until now it has been very difficult to acquire them. So everyone was really excited by the set and their opportunity to finally get them.

Battlepacks. Just looking for QL's for Christmas.

Hi all, used to be a relatively active member of the forums back on its early years, but at this point it seems like it's been over 3 years since I actually posted anything - how time flies... Anyway, it's great to see how much the site has grown and changed over the years and although I never completely stopped checking it out, I am really looking forward to getting back into spending some more time in here going through all the great new content! To all of the familiar faces, it's great to see you and can't wait to interact with you again. And to all of the new faces, it's nice to meet you!

I've basically stopped chasing ALTs in general and have steadily been adding to my ETH / BTC stack. Originally I was pretty heavy on Chainlink when it fluctuated between .25-.54 and decided to just hold super long. If Link hits $20 again I may turn a little of that in BTC and buy back when it drops to $15, but right now I'm just holding. I learned a few years ago it never works chasing ALTs. I believe in the long run and given how many financial banks and institutions are starting to invest, I see that as validation that this is a long-term store of wealth. BTC / ETH / LINK / (and maybe a little XRP. but tbh not so sure I believe in that as long as I do others) I use Brave web browser and enjoy earning BAT, but I feel like until it has more of a use case it won't generally return nearly as much as the three i mentioned. If those are looking for some free alts, I would suggest using Coinbase Earn to get some crypto for free provided you watch some videos and answer questions. I don't use Coinbase for buys but tbh it's a great on ramp for those who have no idea where to start or just want a little bit to hold. I prefer Gemini.

No, this is how you grow your money (I'm taking taxes and expenses out of the equation and assuming you reinvest all of your money). 1. Set #1 - purchased for $50 sold for $100. Now you have $100 (i.e., $50 in original capital + $50 profit) 2. Set #2 - Purchased for $100 sold for $200. Now you have $200 (the $100 you had after the last sale + the $100 profit from this sale). 3. Set #3 - Purchased for $200 sold for $400. Now you have $400. Etc.

Someone on this forum wrote a great post a few years back on how they turned a $25 impulse clearance buy into a $50k+ inventory of LEGO sets. Maybe they can speak up once more. Personally, I had 2 years of investing where most of what I bought was bought with "fresh" capital. Then I hit a point where I said "enough" and used (part of) my sales profits to buy more inventory. Now I am at a point where I recovered all of that initial "fresh" capital in profits, and therefore the inventory still stored in my basement ($30k+ in current market value) is all "on the house", meaning even if a fire goes through tomorrow and destroys it all, I will have made a profit on my investing. This is a great feeling to have.

Day 1.

All the other 20th Anniversary Edition sets were already Retired. Last one of those sets to go.

Alternate Build of 10270 Bookshop

It’s not ANY Lego, it’s select Lego that have been tagged (but there are a lot of them). You simply get handed a giftcard if you are at register, OR if you are self checkout you will grab one, and scan it yourself to load it with $10 Either way.... you walk away with a $10 gc and if you want to spend it you’d need to loop back around and make another purchase

Hello, I'm "new" to the forums. I've been on Brickpicker for many years. but have recently come back to the site due to necessity Figured i would introduce my self none the less I'm a small time lego investor/ opportunist i guess... if i see a set on a good sale i will grab it, but i don't go out of my way to find sets on sale. It's simply a hobby for me. I have started building a few sets as of late. nice to be here.

If you think it's screaming now, just wait until you reach step 5 and have a six figure minimum credit card payment.

I was totally kidding. Virginia. Grew up in FL, went to school in SC, so I have no room to talk. 🙂 Jesse

I just counted back and I have 22 orders with Zavvi. Every single one have arrived unmolested. That's from the UK to rural Alabama. Not too bad.

Yeah won’t impact the little one. This one definitely won’t fit into the Firehouse. Lol.

Lots of good advice here so far. I'll try to summarize from my point of view set a goal, make a plan, and then stick to it. when I started out, my goal was to subsidize the lego hobby. I would buy 2 at discount and quick-flip one for ~50% gain to subsidize the one I built. Or sell off minifigs and keep the bricks to make the bricks nearly free. later, realizing that better returns could be made with a bit longer hold, I dropped both of those strategies and started buying in bulk. My goal changed, and thus so did my plan. don't spend money you can't afford to lose I think the strategy of keeping your lego funds in a paypal account is quite good. This will put a natural brake on your spending, and trigger the pain center of your brain if the funds get too low. Credit cards reduce the impact on that pain center, and make it easier to over spend (on both lego, and life). always keep in mind that buying is easy, selling is hard. Don't buy more than you can afford to store, or have time to sell. When you're starting out (say for the 1st year or 2), its a good idea to keep all of the funds from sales in the account and add to it from other sources when you can. This is the building phase. Once capital is built up, and your buy/sell process is working smoothly, then you can draw funds from the sales---i.e. reinvest 1/2 and pull 1/2, depending on storage/time constraints. Hope this helps.

That's because ne never stopped looking like the coolest person in the room.

Sold 30x 77905 Taskmasters Ambush for $2550 cash ($85 per) to a picker who messaged me after seeing my post in the 77905 thread. These may go higher, they may stagnate, but I'll never turn down double my investment the same day...in cash.

just peed myself a little...

Yeah swung by UTC lego store... and they still had 4 GWP's sooo I caved to the emperor, cashed out some points and bought it

The answer is still VW T1 and Death Star.

Do we need to bring you up to speed with which sets to buy right now? Just in case you lost your password to the secret part of the forum with all the answers that we don't share publicly.

So my 77905 Taskmaster Ambush was supposed to arrive. I just got an empty envelope with parts torn and cut open. What. The. Bloody. Eff.

Who thinks shipping these in plastic bags will be successful? Thanks Amazon.
