I'm not sure what you see? Daily LEGO and bubble gum Deals - USA

Found footage of @exciter1 after a corndog/hubba bubba marathon.

Yeah feel free to dump those loser SUPER Star Destroyers 10221. I will take them all at cost.

Built a used 10212 UCS Imperial Shuttle that I picked up for $230 with shipping a couple weeks ago. What an impressive set. I knew it was a large set but it always seems bigger when it sits in the dining room table. Had all minifigs no box no instructions. I can cross this set off my list.

I found a HL Mall for $54 at the WM near the spot I picked up a $30 Ultrasonic Raider MISB. I was feeling so good I paid full price for 4x TLBM figures to appease my children.

New to BP but not Lego. As a kid I grew up with the old school space ships and what not (not like what they have today). I ended up with a decent collection by the time I shipped out to bootcamp but while I was gone my Grandmother passed my collection on to my younger cousins. By the time I found out it was too late, so I moved on. Well fast forward a few decades, I have a son who has taken an affinity for Lego as well . While researching I came across BP and while I don't usually join forums, or communities, I couldn't help but notice how nice everyone is to each-other - you know, compared to the rest of the Internet - so I couldn't help but join and say hello. Looking to do some investing (I don't mind sitting on a set for a year or two and I have an attic ) and obviously collecting. So, were the December Lego sales normal for that time of year? To me it seemed like there were 30% - 40% off deals to be had everywhere, and I got to learn the UPS guy's first name. LOL

Lego reselling is dead!

75101 C2C at SAH, this might be the start of more TFA sets to go...

Forgive me if it has already been posted: LEGO Shop at Home has Disney minifigures reduced to $3.19 (not a huge deal but $0.80 can add up with large quantities) limit 18 per order https://shop.lego.com/en-US/The-Disney-Series-71012 Someone else already pointed out Seasonal Elf and Santa reduced to $5 (they are still available online) https://shop.lego.com/en-US/LEGO-Little-Elf-Helpers-40205 https://shop.lego.com/en-US/LEGO-Santa-40206 And of course the new Batman Movie CMF's are available (regular price) https://shop.lego.com/en-US/THE-LEGO-BATMAN-MOVIE-71017 Batwing poly is available for free with purchases of $35 or more

Definitely not normal but not uncommon. After sending in many shipments we have figured out amazon's fulfillment system and have never lost a single shipment or had a package sitting in receiving for more than a day even in the busy holiday season. Take note of what center you are shipping to, whether or not it is a fulfillment center or a distribution hub, and how you send it there (usps, fedex or ups). The carrier you choose makes a huge difference. At some centers UPS will drop off right at the dock and your items will get checked in and available to sell within hours while for the same location FEDEX will drop off in the yard and your items can sit for a 7-10 days before being checked in (and vice versa at other centers). FEDEX is normally cheaper but if you need that box checked in ASAP and you know the UPS guy is going to land it at the right spot then it is worth the extra few dollars during Q4. Play around with times and numbers to get the shipments you want and lock them in months in advance. As for the ASIN issue I have never had any problems like that but we don't seem to sell alot of the same sets as other folks on this board that have problems. The majority of stuff we do sell are new products, bundles or multipacks that we create and control the listings for. Obviously that strategy won't work for most lego items but my entire point was to diversify as much as possible on the platform (and I don't mean megabloks or SW toys).

Do not buy any sets with the word "Super" in front of it.

And in case anyone doesn't know, Citi credit cards have price protection. You have to initiate price rewinds for each item. But if there's a lower price within 90 days at any retailer, they'll return the difference to you. It's worked with 3rd party seller prices on AMZ as well, not just name brand stores.

Dang someone got jipped! On the other hand someone just scored!!

I'm sure you guys saw a 2nd poly pic was leaked, another Droid? Rumors are these will be part of a series of polys.

Thats all good but can you stick it in the right thread please.

Of course. It's just insane that someone would pay that much for a polybag that will be available shortly.

information for folks out there. target & TRU ban now extends to target-ebay and TRU-ebay as well. [i.e. any order you place at target-ebay and tru-ebay will be cancelled as well ] be careful with what you do but looks like its going to be very very hard to keep the buying privilege alive if one is reselling.

What does all this have to do with Architecture? We have a thread for UK / EURo market discussion and another one about the UK exchange rate. Could a mod please move this discussion there so we can speculate about the Arc de Triomphe and Guggenheim?

I figured that video was gonna go in a different direction. A browner direction.

Yep its one of if not the best.

This.....the OCD in me is screaming about the 16, 18 and 20 fig sets......

I think that's a YMMV question depending on how you make and track your purchases. But here's what's involved. You can go on the price rewind website, search for and add the items you've bought. You add the price, date, and location of purchase. And upload proof of purchase with that credit card which can be a receipt picture or PDF'd email. Or you can manually submit requests by mail or email with the same information plus the lower price you found, the vendor, proof of purchase with card, and dated lower price. Printed webpages work as long as you have the date and link in the header/footer. There are $500/item and $2500/yr caps and some exclusions apply. https://www.citipricerewind.com/guide I'm happy to answer other questions in PM rather than derail the thread more.

I am the great Cornholio! by J.B.F

I have to share this one! Hubba Bubba Bubble Gum Tape, Awesome Original, 6-Foot Tapes (Pack of 24) - Add on - $5.84 Amazon

Saw those in Target the other day. Buying 2 gives you room for 16 figs, but there are 20 unique ones. D'Oh!

Not sure if it has been posted earlier but I came across the last Ideas Maze set in my area today. Marked down to $55.98. Going to go back and price match the ones I got a week ago. Will end up with two for less than the original price of one. Not bad on a retired set.

For personal use, sure why not. For investment I'd wait. It will most likely see deeper discounts in the future, and will be a good candidate to see at least 50% off clearance at Walmart or Target down the road.

Come and get it! http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lego-Star-Wars-R2-D2-Polybag-30611-New-In-Hand-Sealed-Rogue-One-Rare-/172467425751?hash=item2827dc11d7:g:T~IAAOSw5cNYaAVE

Somewhat normal, it can be a fight. ISD now has the incorrect primary listing too. I had dozens of items lost after they were received and then reserved in transit to other distribution centers this year.

Sold a Trevi Fountain and a UNHQ for £150. Buy in was £50.

Just because you can put 999 in the cart that doesn't mean they have that many. If you do it, it says limit of 1 when you go back to your cart. Not sure why they use the form control for up to 30. .....update. now it lets me. For a while i was playing games with that and a Shield Carrier. Wouldn't let me have more than one of each in my cart. Crazy amazon.

Better do your part then .

TRU has their display up, along w/their prices!

Thanks anyway. I asked my local shops and they wouldn't sell me a sealed box and I wouldn't have the time or energy to "smoosh" if that's what it's called!

I finally finished the 911 last night. Just an awesome set. It's huge, I'll have to widen the roads in my city to accommodate it.

Ketchup or Bruce Jenner ahead of his time, maybe.

That's ketchup. Porkins stopped by Sonic for some corn dogs on the way to the battle.

Slowly being the key word. If you're fine with capital tied up in these UCS sets for half a decade that would be a lot more profitable invested in other sets at quicker turnover then it's a winning strategy. A lot less return but ideal for those who couldn't be fussed with the extra work. But the eyecatching flagship sets are what most newcomers target as they are more glamourous and have the eyewatering lore of profits of a bygone age. The gold-fevered should be under no illusion about the recent trend on these UCS sets due to the surge of new investors stockpiling these and killing past growth rates.

Slowly rising in price after most of the idiot undercutters have sold out? That will be fine.

That was your biggest mistake. Careful packing should be done even if you pay for exact costs.

If you get properly sized boxes, you don't have to worry about cutting OR it crumbling inward.

Mom and Pop were holding out on me again.
