I wanted to make a new post, but I bought them today, so....... What do you think of this set, should I Quick Flip them or hold them for later when they are fewer on the market?

A few things clearance at wm

Oh, so that's you? If you're marketing an item on eBay as "extremely rare" .... posting a picture of all 16 in your listing isn't helping your case. As far as sell or hold, I would definitely hold unless you absolutely need that money RIGHT NOW. Obviously, the retail employees are getting their sets now. A natural (small, but still) flood will occur that will drive down prices in the short term.

Why do you keep talking about stores that 80 percent of us don't have... That crowd?

This week's TRU deal: Picked over remains of Lego that resellers nationwide rejected at 40% off earlier in the month, now can be yours for the low, low price of MSRP + 10%

I have a feeling that u are not the first to ask

Got this to sit along side jabbas sail barge!! Will build tonight with my son )

I bet $1 it's a dropshipper

Spent an hour this afternoon building this. Lots of pieces for such a small set so it has a lot of detail. Fun stuff.

i'm pretty sure Minecraft is still hugely popular. in June of this year microsoft reported they sell 53,000 copies of Minecraft EVERY DAY and that they've sold 100 million to date which gets Minecraft tied with Tetris as the most popular video game of all time. At the end of last month, there were 2 days when the entire theme was backordered at LEGO Shop at Home except for the skin packs and the $199 Village set. no other theme has been as backordered this holiday selling season as much as minecraft. 2014 was the perfect storm with the theme being launched 4 weeks before black friday just in time for bp'ers to hoard them all without any restocking before the end of January 2015. given that none of the sets other than The Mine has retired yet, and theme performance is unknown, it's a gamble for sure. one that i'm willing to take. at $11 buyin, $30-35 is double your money post fees and shipping. hopefully the game's popularity translates into lego profit.

As Paypal, eBay, and Amazon put it, sorry for the inconvenience, but you agreed to be ****-ed the moment you signed with us

How much for a fellow bp'er to buy one from you?

In my experience those small Speed Champions sets have such flimsy boxes, it's almost impossible for a large volume retailer to not ding them.

I sold a Hatchimal to a buyer with over 33,000 feedback. He (she) sent me a message asking to please message with the tracking number. Seems like they would know how to look that up on Ebay.

When all the people who can't afford to sit on this for a couple of years thin out their stock, this set will be a winner. There is too big a market and with no remake, it's just going to take some time.

Unfortunately TRU FR doesn't ship to NL. Similarly TRU DE doesn't ship to NL either. And TRU NL doesn't run a 3for2 sale... sigh

TRU is by far the most incompetent out of Target, Wal-Mart, Amazon, the shady looking guy in the trench coat hanging out in the TRU parking lot... My own latest experience with TRU awesomeness: Drove to a TRU store to return an online order. Because when I return items by mail, I only receive credit 50% of the time. Seriously. So anyway, I drive down there to return two out of four BOGO items (all four items were identical). TRU helpfully refunds the two BOGO priced items, leaving me with only two full price items. Sweet. So I'll be returning those later. Anyway, I get a receipt and head home after confirming that absolutely nothing interesting is on sale in the store, and most items are MSRP + 10%. Two weeks later... Still no credit on my credit card. Time to call and begin the "dance" with TRU "customer service". I think my current policy of only buying at TRU if an item is at least 10% cheaper than elsewhere is inadequate compensation for pain and suffering. I'm adopting a 20% mandatory TRU discount going forward. Hopefully this means I'll just never order from them again.

sold a Chima fire temple FBA for $109 turtle lair for $99 paid $19 each for them after waiting out walmart on their $38 discount and they kept sitting there forever

6x Snowglobes - $45 CAD each Two lots of 3 to two Chinese ladies. Had lots of communication with the one, no spidey senses going off, positive feedback, quick payment etc. Shipped to a forwarding warehouse in Portland. She was so pleased with the communication and customer service that she recommended me to her friend, who also bought 3. I've got 4 left... thinking I'll hike the price way up, and likely end up holding 'em till next season. If they sell now at my inflated price, so be it!

As a long-holder of both those sets, I can confirm that purchase is at or below market. Wife wants to give 4842 to our son for Christmas. I say we should let him go to college instead.

Harry Potter 4842 and 10217 Diagon Alley $925.00 Shipped off Ebay deal. Sold 3 like this.

Wow, Nico retired before his set was even launched!

Hi guys, so I was somewhat inspired by a recent job where I got to work at the legendary Abbey Road studios! I decided to make my own version of the iconic Beatles album cover using a mix of the new Beatles mini figs (for the yellow submarine) and some of my favourite imperials. DSC_2808 by dimitrinicomanis, on Flickr I call this build 'The Imperial March' DSC_2790 by dimitrinicomanis, on Flickr 2016-12-19_02-43-14 by dimitrinicomanis, on Flickr I tried to get some of the background detail into this build but felt the car would be the wrong scale so opted to leave it out.

I live in the US of A, where the A stands for Awesome. Check the US eBay listings if you don't believe me. Note to Europe: less socialism = better profits.

Some people are seeing Costco clearing out the City Fire Station set that they have at $49.97. I think it was originally at Costco for $69.97? Not a bad deal if you can find it at your nearest Costco. I am stuck at work so I can't personally verify this deal.

Dropshipper ?

A K-2SO 75120 Constraction figure... ... for over $80. Amazon, FBM. I love the holidays.

Agree. It's b-u-t-t ugly, out of scale, and from Rebels. What's more to dislike?

Actually, that is not a Porsche but a Ferrari FXX...

Which is 2lb shipping like he said

Meijer clearance thread before the crowd grows restless :

Not at all..... they came from them......

as i said set is 15.5 oz so whether you flap the cover or not unless you get oversize boxes 2lb is where its getting stuck unless you want to risk shipping in padded envelop and deal with the aftermath of that....

I think there's gonna be a Turtle from Creator coming too

I'd love to flip them but someone has a ridiculous amount in eBay at a ridiculously cheap price. They are the only listing, too.

15x Minecraft The Cave from target - 5 orders of 3. target had it on sale for 11.99- used gift cards to get it down to $11.28 each after tax shipped. couldn't get the red card/gift card loophole to work today. oh well, at almost 50% off in my SW PJ's sipping cocoa - i'm ok with it. Target is now OOS for shipping. Walmart, TRU, BN, OOS for shipping. 3rd party on amazon. still in stock at LEGO Shop at Home usa but its retired in europe and none on the shelves at any of the walmart or targets that i haunt. still up on jet.com. hopefully this one gets back to the heights of December 2014 when they were going for $45-50.

New Star Wars U-Wing polybag! Already available at Legoland California apparently.

The repetition of that quote throughout the movie actually annoyed me.

I keep thinking it sucks we don't have TRU and Amazon over here in Belgium, but it works out pretty well because we get to order from pretty much any of the European websites. Must suck for the French too, because generally TRU FR has extremely high prices and rarely offers any good discounts.

When I posted it, it was available for shipping. Good work, horde Limited stock means that they should have it in stock, but they won't hold it for you.

I still have a Kwik E-Mart in my basket at SaH. Maybe Lego is waiting for me to pull the trigger?
