Friends Central Park 21319 with $8 coupon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07PX3X5WL

i did just over 30K in fbm sales this month on 428 sales. its a lot of work but manageable if you prepack the stuff you sell so that you don't get slammed. i use zone specific shipping where i give free expedited shipping to my home zone only - east coast - which is reachable using UPS ground or PRIORITY which is what i would normally send stuff anyway. i price at the FBA buybox or 5 cents below and because i am offering expedited shipping to the east coast, i am able to quite effectively compete with in stock FBA price for buyers in that zone. The surprising upside is that i get much much fewer margin killing west coast orders since they get the crappy regular delivery date shown to them. i can have my entire inventory listed if i want - thousands of skus with no storage fees being incurred. the only thing that amazon could do to make selling FBM a pita would be to charge a fee to have a listing active. i sent in my first batch of FBA since the small batch I did last june just to make sure i don't get gated. i get my money quicker with FBM. someone buys something i print the label and ship it - the money is there. i'm grandfathered in so i can get disbursements whenever. orders almost never spend more than 5-15 minutes in pending status unlike FBA where it can be in pending for days. with FBM, my sales and cash flow are like a spigot that i can turn on or turn off. with FBA its like i sent a mission to mars and it has to land and get there first before i find out badly they screwed up the intake and then once we get through fc distribution blah blah it might finally show up for sale or might not and then it finally sells... it goes to pending status. its ton of work doing fbm making the boxes and dropping all this crap off but it is pretty lucrative.

Pulled this 7739 Coast Guard Patrol Boat from a bulk lot and it's now 100% complete ready to be sold.

Space coin is coming out so still worth staying up

Thinking back on the Brickpicker's history of inappropriate set names/acronyms, I will always remember Escort Girls as never fully living up to its potential.

Oh yeah, we're all like totally mature grown-ups here. Ah, the days of Painting Easter Eggs and the Target Inventory Tracker. Good times....

Looks like "Gold" to me, maybe even better.

It's up now on US SAH. Just redeemed.

Space Logo coin available now at US SAH.

I bet there's still many on here that will stay up tonight just in case lol

I recently picked up a bulk bin of lego: mostly castle and pirates and was worried I was overpaying, but I wanted the pirate sets. It was missing a bunch of stuff, but fortunately a second bin was located and I bought that too. This was a great find. They all ended up 98-100% complete and near mint (horse bardings have all clips, no scratches, minifigures in great shape, most flags don't have broken clips, the worst set was missing 10 parts at one part each). Mountain baseplates have no marks, except for the pirate one, and that's on the underside of the "cave" indentation. There's not really any dust anywhere so these have been packed up for a couple of decades. Sets: Pirates 6246 Crocodile Cage 6261 Raft Raiders 6262 King Kahuka's Throne 6266 Cannon Cove 6270 Forbidden Island 6274 Caribbean Clipper 6276 Eldorado's Fortress Castle 1463 Treasure Cart 1491 Dual Defender 6034 Black Monarch's Ghost 6038 Wolfpack Renegades 6042 Dungeon Hunters 6048 Majistos Magical Workshop 6056 Dragon Wagon 6057 Sea Serpent 6075 Wolfpack Tower 6078 Royal Drawbridge 6081 King's Mountain Fortress 6086 Black Knight's Castle... Except it's missing the white feathers :-( Aquanauts 1822 Sea Claw 7 6104 Aquacessories 6115 Shark Scout x2 6155 Deep Sea Predator 6175 Crystal Explorer Sub 6190 Sharks Crystal Cave 6195 Neptune Discovery Lab Random Few small blacktron/mtron sets 6975 UFO Alien avenger 6755 Sheriff's Lock Up Few random creator, technic, sport, and city sets like coastal cutter. All have instructions, a few have boxes in good condition, a few have destroyed boxes. Some polybags are still here too. Overall, lots of fun ahead to finish building. I can probably sell the aqua sets and random stuff to get close to break even after buying parts on order. I get to keep the pirate and castle sets 98%+ complete for free and slowly order parts in the US once the pandemic slows down and the border opens.

Maybe it was a really bad April fools joke that backfired lol

If it's on YouTube and has all-caps in the title, it's definitely true.

Don't get them started on talking about their Dickens...

LEGO Architecture London 21034 Building Kit $31.99 [68% off]Dropped 6% on Mar 26 1:34 PM This is deceptive from Amazon. MSRP is actually $39.99 - 20% off. Just a heads up.

Just saw these pop up. Castle, done. Thoughts? https://www.lego.com/en-us/vip/rewards-center/rewards http://bricksfanz.com/lego-vip-launches-collectible-coin-series

I still get a urge to laugh thinking about how ridiculous these were from time to time. Star wieners🤣 also had a good laugh when I looked up the Speed Champion equivalent

Same here. No Ulysses, no day-one purchase. Kind of sad actually. Was really looking forward to buying this on day 1.

Dang, another miss by Lego. Would have bought the Porsche on day-1 if the promo was available in North America and now this delay. Guess I'll just wait...

You bring up some good points, but to me, it's all the packing and shipping individual orders for an additional couple points in margin that just isn't worth it to me. I like that my wife & I only need to spend like 4-8hrs twice a month packing shipments for FBA and very easily have consistent cash flow coming in. We both have full time jobs, hobbies, and love to travel (outside of a pandemic) so the limited amount of prep & ship time is a huge plus. Also, to me, the stuff you're talking about with zones and limiting the margin killing west coast buyers, etc. is a good strategy for you, but is a negative, not a positive. You've effectively limited your market and number of customers to your "free shipping" zone.

From my chat with LEGO CS (US). As always, take this with a grain of salt, but disappointing if true:

this is just embarrassing, but i love games of chance and limited edition lego numbered anything..

Better

As far as displays go...this would fall under "lame"

i was able to snag 3/5 pooh's, but there's not a set that i want and there's a 60 day window to redeem. what's the best approach to getting these redeemed on the cheap? i went with a botanicals ploybag plus $5 to ship ($10 total) in order to get my last coin..

big thank you! considering we could only get one per person and 5,000 sold out within hours, I believe these will be a hot collector's item. however, these loyalty rewards are not really known to the larger public, so demand is always fuzzy because a majority don't know. we all know about sets because their featured on the site over the course of time, but these are posted behind a wall and then quickly taken down once sold out. i think the coins will be a huge winner with the boomers, but again, not everyone knows.

this whole thing is just getting stranger by the minute alright, i'm in for one..

wth. you know, i had 3d/augmented reality when i was a kid back in the 80's. it was called lego

Stuck in the 90’s you say?! Who me?! Hell yes! Pulled these from a few different bulks. .

stick a fork in me. i'm done..

all coins went poof! https://www.lego.com/en-us/vip/rewards-center/rewards i'm thinking there's going to be a space release this sunday or this whole thing goes bust (like many have mentioned here about quality issues)

I found the links to the product display pages. pics are a lil better. what we really need here is for someone to take a loss and unwrap the coin case- the republic is at stake.. coin case: https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/collectable-coin-plastic-case-5006473 castle coin: https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/lego-castle-coin-5006472

well, i don't think we're getting the ice skating rink with this purchase. i have $200 in the cart right now and it's showing that mcdonald's-grade gwp thing, but no rink. i'm not buying an f-ing bigmac here, lego..

LEGO is accepting backorders on 21318 Tree House. It is my duty to state the obvious... https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/tree-house-21318?

Hang in there with the Tree House. I think this thing is making a last minute comeback. I got in at $180 and I'm now getting offers around $300. I believe they will sell at $325 this week on the bay.

I'm all-in. I have the whole collection even the foil packs from Europe. About 25% avg off RRP. People thought I was nuts when I collected the whole LEGO Batman Movie collection. About 40% avg off RRP. Look where it's at now.

Not sure if this is the same promo, but when I opened the app it gave me $10 off by making my Amex the default card.

How the hell did this pile of mess sell out at $699? I kinda get it. 500 minfigures at 60% off, but was there really 500 unique combinations. https://shop-florida.legoland.com/collections/ultimate-bundles/products/ultimate-lego®-build-a-minifigure™-mystery-selection

Tough crowd. The old man taught me to always accept gifts and advice from people. Might not always be what you’re looking for, but if you say NO once, they may never offer again- and the next time, may be exactly what you want. This my friend, is pretty obvious...

Just got a $10 credit to use on Amazon Prime Day by buying a rock climber’s chalk bag from a small business owner. Not sure how to get it on other purchases, but here’s a link if you climb: Sukoa Chalk Bag for Rock Climbing - Bouldering Chalk Bag Bucket with Quick-Clip Belt and 2 Large Zippered Pockets - Rock Climbing Gear Equipment https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01G6P5E6C/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_x5iEFb1K3AGHX

nice

As stated earlier, I back ordered. Went to my local store and just got it off the shelf. Order is still in place. Will pre sell the order to you for cost plus fedex shipping, so I can keep gwp and loyalty reward. Send me a pm before I cancel the order.

Poof on Walmart, Amazon and LEGO. There is no way to go wrong on big LEGO sets right now. A collector's dream to get his last 3 out of 3 for free...

LEGO LEGOLAND 40429 NINJAGO World set revealed https://shop-california.legoland.com/collections/ultimate-legoland-bundles/products/copy-of-legoland®-exclusive-ninjago-world-40429-available-now-1 Looks really cool with the roller coaster and game of chance. RRP, but I'm pulling the trigger. Limit of 4...

That makes sense. Didn't mean to trigger so many people on here, so I am sorry. I'm lucky to have gotten this one and asking for something free is kinda ridiculous considering there were a lot who didn't. I'm kinda spoiled, my kids at the LEGO store go out of their way to save me an unopened brown box, but even then, the box can still get messed up. Problem is, they'll keep letting me open boxes until we find the perfect one lol.

It's on! Limit 1?

Amazon had a freak sale on the Pirate Roller Coaster for $75 yesterday. When it got in my cart it jumped to $89. I was going to post the deal here, but I got the last one. You might want to add a tracker to it in case they do it again.

I just double dipped. On some loyalty items, such as the signed prints, you can only redeem once. I just redeemed points for 2 droid rewards and did two separate orders and got both. I sold this Droid promo for $50 in December, they're going for $100+ on eBay. Remember you had to buy the $200 set to get this. Which means I just got my Barracuda for free, yes!!!
