Got this baby today thanks to @terrymc4677. $240

Awesome. I'm glad somebody here could jump on it. I'm in Green Bay, so It would have been a six hour round trip for me, which is a little too far out of my Lego hunting radius. I was updating my Craig's listings the other night when I noticed it. Figured I would post the link so someone could get it. I'm glad it worked out for you. Enjoy!

Attention Kmart shoppers. $100 Sears gift cards are 90 bucks on eBay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Get-a-100-Sears-Gift-Card-for-only-90-Fast-Email-Delivery-/282291707789?_trkparms=5373%3A0|5374%3AFeatured

I finally finished our Christmas village scene today. It has the Winter Toy Shop, Santa’s Workshop, a polybag snowman build, the 2015 toy train (the Lego giveaway) and this year’s reindeer polybag build in it. The seeds I planted for more pine tree spouted nicely over the course of this year. I was planning on putting the Fairground Mixer in the scene, but my kids said it was closed for the winter season!

I wore out my local BAM today. They had Architecture BOGO50% plus $25 off $100 plus 10% off for being a club member. Well worth the trip.

Yes. Happened to me with AT AT and ISD last year. Most likely will be cancelled but there is still hope, reselling is built on hope.

I'm only interested in keychains if they come with free Darth Revans ....

Last three weeks. All on BL, all buyers paid shipping. CMF 5 Lizard Man x1 $17.98 ($4 buy in) Hoth Attack x2 $17.48 ($10.00 buy in) Demolition Site x2 $62.98 ($43.00 buy in) 75036 Utapau Troopers x1 $15.98 ($5 buy in) Volcano Jackhammer Polybag x3 $5.48 ($3.23 BI) Tie advanced polybag x10 $2.98 ($2.18 BI) Resistance X-wing MF x2 $6.98 ($3 BI) SW BP 7913 x1 $21.98 ($0 BI) Hovercraft Arrest x1 $34.98 ($20.38 BI) Arctic Outpost $37.48 ($30 BI.

Nice quick flip at $8-11 BI) Hydra Fortress Smash x2 $38.98 ($24 BI) Police Mobile Unit x1 $29.98 ($21 BI) City Garbage Truck x5 $15.98 ($8.44 BI. Stock-roomed my remaining stock of this when everyone started scrambling for it. A few people got lucky) Shadow Troopers x1 $10.98 ($9.90 BI :/) $300 worth of assorted collectable minifigures. I know the returns aren't as amazing as what some of you get, but with limited space I am quite happy with the results (My main selling point is pricing below RRP on a lot of my inventory. Buyers save money, I make money. Win win.). My personal savings account finally reached a major goal last week, my backroom of long term holds is almost full, and new orders keep pouring in. Saving up for the huge clearance bonanza post Christmas and only ordering from Kmart on already purchased giftcards (Which should be depositing 50K SYW points after Christmas). Yippie!

I sold 7 of mine for $90. Buy-in was $35. I'll take it.

I also got a t-shirt that says "I went to Wisconsin and all I got is some old Lego set" So that's the story, I'm suprised it lasted at $250 for 2 days since I contacted him.

But where's our ice cream? Hopefully you got some for yourself. Happy early Christmas to you!

Thanks mr. Mailman - now how do I get it out?

I listed a bunch of sets on Craigslist the other day. Got a text last night at 3am about the Scooby Mansion and Mystery Machine. Guy came this morning and gave me $160 cash for both. I'll take it. I needed $$ as the December specials killed my wallet!! Buy in- $80 and $25. $55 profit and I have two more of each. They should do well this year. Sucks I didn't buy more this month when marked down.

Rocka XL, Meltdown and Black Phantom.

Walmart.com has green baseplates 40% off... $4.79. 5 per order. Best price without any shenanigans I've seen.

I bought 31062.

Yes, what people perceive as a bubble popping is actually a properly functioning market in which the outsize profits of the past attracted more sellers, which fostered competition, which caused prices to fall.

This trend is only going to get worse in the coming years. Speaking for myself, the capital that I have available to buy inventory has more than doubled in the last two years and it continues to grow. I suspect that the trend is the same for other mid to large scale sellers. All of that capital has to go somewhere and as long as it is flowing into Lego, that is going to equate to larger stocks of inventory up for sale at any given time.

Finally got around to starting this one.

I would've bought it myself if I didn't already have one in my ofifce.. Nice build, good price, hope it's all there. He originally had it listed at $400, but dropped it pretty quickly to $250. Patience is a virtue many sellers don't have.

Neh, if you propose, do it in style: Proposing in the 10243 - Parisian Restaurant setting.

Not a HOMERUN but they all don't have to be . Helped out some friends of mine Today: sold a MF 75105 and TF 75101 for $175 (they are parents buying for their boys) They were thrilled with the price. My buy in: Falcon $95 on Ebay w flash $15 coupon and $38 for the Tie at summer WM clearance. (both boxes were not in collectible condition). Felt good to make "little Timmy and Tommys" Christmas ! Happy Holidays to all you fellow brickpickers!

Finished this a couple of months ago but forgot to post here. Arvo Brothers Chestburster:

Brickset has a review up. 75170 - The Phantom - http://brickset.com/article/25433/review-75170-the-phantom

Just in the nick (pun intended) of time, here's our Christmas train circling our tree. We only used spare pieces from last year's full setup (which is still on display in the basement) so the bridge looks a little unfinished. Train makes a big circle around the tree (straight-curve-straight-curve style).

Is it Lego? It's Lego right, I think it's Lego. It should be Lego, oh I hope it's Lego

Santa's House by Dvd

It's either; Not legit and receive nothing OR is legit and you will be adding in credit card fraud. This person is selling this card at 80% value. You need to ask why.

Are ppl actually looking at iron golem? It's stuffed in every Walgreens I've been to. I thought it might've been a walgreen exclusive. Or it will be after retirement.

If they're still in stock on the 28th you can get the free Batman Mini Batwing :-)

It's not so much un-retired as more un-re-turd

you can now send off your used amazon boxes to Goodwill after printing free shipping label. pretty cool. I'm sure none of us have amazon boxes lying around though http://www.kiro7.com/news/trending-now/amazon-goodwill-team-up-to-use-empty-shipping-boxes/477487544

I was bored today and my only access to real Lego was a droid escape set with no stickers, and a random police minifigure. Here is what happened. It actually holds a pilot, and the stand can be positioned to look like the ship is taking off or hovering.

Yup, only Doctor Horde´s Turdis and Ecto 1 Copy Per Person on the Planet to go from Ideas then.

The 1h 2017 catalogue is now out. Bad news for Grand Hotel, Darth Vader buildable, TFA Poe, Tie and Kylo Ren, heavy haul train and City Square investors. They are all in it.

I'm out and not looking back even if 41055 increases to $200 (which i doubt but hey, who knows). for those folks who think parents will buy this instead of the Disney Castle, maybe. maybe not. both have different audiences. plus 41055 doesn't really give you much for the retail price let alone secondary price. i built one with my daughter and she wasn't really interested in it. Just not much to it. so i decided to sell my last two 41055 sets and both sold hours w/in listing. These 2 were part of the same batch of sets (along with the same # of carriage sets- 9 left) I bought in the summer of 2014 for a holiday flip that year which didn't happen. Some folks including myself thought this would be a sure shot 2014 holiday flip (like the Dolphin Cruiser in 2013). I'm just happy the price increased about $20-$25 since mid-Oct. There was a couple week scare last month when Amazon had the set listed for $5-10 less than my recently sold sales . Regardless, i've held onto these sets long enough. while the set was easy to store, it's an an odd shape (depth and height) which made shipping MISBs a hassle.

Have a gander at these artistic lamps using a number of new elements introduced with Nexo Knights then read over the rest on New Elementary.

latest update is more optimistic,

All variety of advent calendars are 50% off at Kroger Marketplace. Hoping it goes to 75% after Christmas.

Be interesting to watch tantive prices too. See if they get a boost.
