BLDP Harbormaster's Office. Went together very smooth; better than most BLDP sets. Will be a nice companion to the Ideas Old Fishing Store.

Every year I come back to the Lego website and every year I end up using my sack as a speed bag.

Hoping Ninjago got canceled

At LEGO LEGO Shop at Home, spend $150 and get the Micro Ninjago City set, a Maze gwp set and the Winter Gazebo. Rakuten still at 15%. Good luck finding something in stock that you want to buy. Ghost/ Phantom still in stock. I can't believe that we didn't see a sale on it.

Gazebo GWP drops tonight with $130 spend...plus Rakuten still doing 15%. Who knows, the Micro NINJAGO City Gardens GWP added today might stick around for a double-stack.

I should have known better but a word of caution for those newer to LEGO buying and selling. This time of year when stock dwindles it gets very appealing to pickup scraps still on Barnes and Noble, but today another package arrived shipped from some random store, a $200+ set with a hole on it and taped back box from them having the contents pulled from it and put back in and they sell it as sealed. Fortunately this time they still had the set at my local Barnes, though damaged, was still sealed. Took some convincing but was able to replace, in the past not so fortunate and they re online fraud department always looks at you like you are trying to swindle them and make you take pictures and it’s a pain in the bottom. With Barnes added shipping fee for large lego sets I am giving my member ship a break from there for the time being.

I'm coming up on 15 years. About once every 3-5 years I say that I am done and start coasting and selling down stock. I usually am over it in a few months. Second to the last time that I went dark, I missed the Cloud City set . Now, at 65 years old, I have to think about my adult daughter having to clean up my mess if I die so I really need to think seriously about my end game. But the game has been good to me.......

It just depends on the parts. I'll throw you a freebie that someone else passed to me (thanks @Pseudoty😞 Set #75685, Emerald City Wall Art. $160 at LEGO. Part out is $422, but that includes 51 items in 6 lots that they do not have price data for yet. Those usually sell way overpriced for a few months until more sellers get the parts and start a race-to-the-bottom. Also, minifigs are worth about $98-$105. The lion is another $17. These are the types of sets that I look for.

One thing I rarely see mentioned is accounting for dead inventory. There are simply parts where supply vastly exceeds demand. Need to keep that in mind when looking at PO value. It drives up your storage space requirements the longer you run a store. It is a notable factor in the gap between perceived value and actual value when you want to sell out the store inventory. Maybe this isn't as large of an effect when you hit that 80-100k size. I've mostly been around the 10-50k size and can definitely feel it.

Starting a BrickLink store is a ton of tedious work. But its work that I enjoy. If you have ever worked in a parts house, like a NAPA store, it's really no different. You won't see many customers at all until you hit at least 50,000 parts. At 75,000-80,000, things will probably pick up even more, depending on your store. There are three ways to go. If you have access to a parts distributor, you might specialize in having a ton of well-used parts, such as having at least a few hundred of most colors of 2x4 bricks or a heavy concentration of minifigs. The second way is to try to have the widest possible selection, even if that means having only one or two of each piece. Personally, I do the third thing which lies somewhere between the other two. There are many parts in which I have 100s of and I try to have a wide selection of parts but it is all give and take. There are a ton of other things to share but I will offer this: Find the space that you think that you will need. multiply that by 10x and you MIGHT have the space that you will eventually need. There are many YT videos to watch to get you started but, honestly, those are starting to look dated. You might try this one to get started:

Those Geoffrey Toybox claw machines have crushed many ewok forces and rebel scum so not a total loss. (In all serious, that's a bummer, sorry)

FYI, just checked, its now Micro NINJAGO City Markets...still a 3-for-1 GWP deal.

Good morning and thanks. You could get 4 X Arcade Machines but I went with Emerald City Wall Art, another set off my wishlist and look at the BL part out value.

Triple stack GWPs and 15% Rak right now

GWP

Star Wars: 75440 AT-AT (via a Brick Tap submission) Star Wars: 75441 Venator-class Attack Cruiser (midi-scale) (via Brick Tap submission) Star Wars: Buildable BB-8 (Source: lego_minecraft_goat)

I am sure they will let you do a return and repurchase but the sale ends tomorrow, so you would have to do some type of price adjustment which will probably be harder. In other news: Rak 12%CB for Macys went through for 12% of the entire purchase price.

Macys has some good sales on some big sets. I got the oracle and ferrari f1 cars for 30% off plus 12% rakuten. Scroll to the bottom to see cyber monday deals. https://www.macys.com/shop/brands/lego?id=200756&cm_kws=Lego

I think I got rid of them.

the website isn't so bad compared to all the websites when you try to buy pokemon.. lol

Good filler to add ahead of time just in case https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/fennec-shand-keyring-854245

My Macy's Technic Ferrari has a UPS shipping label generated since Wednesday with no weight and still has not been picked up. Paypal Pay in 4 Rewards worked on the Enterprise 8K points pending. I guess after they changed the terms you still got one more purchase.

A quick read if you need a break, the replies are hilarious 🤣 https://sellercentral.amazon.com/seller-forums/discussions/t/333d575c-8a12-4d41-bda0-a54a4d4eee77?ref=forums_sc_homepage_ml_333d575c-8a12-4d41-bda0-a54a4d4eee77&communicationDeliveryId=e8c559cb-4e0b-44be-b112-bd64b63f9346

Thanks, Great time to pickup the Arcade Machine with 15% CB from Rak. It is not marked as an exclusive but seems to be so.

RAK just hit 20% for Lego Store.

I don't think it's anything different this year. I think it was all one big sale

Good catch, censored

When you use them, yes. Not when you buy them.

It took about 10min to get the gift card (limit 1), but I got what I wanted. 12% back at Rak too. You might be able to get more discount gift cards with the multiple account game, but stuff will probably sell fast.

Yearly B&N GWP. $75 threshold.

I've been keeping an eye on Lego over the past day or so and a few of the sales sets have flashed back in stock temporarily. I picked up a couple of Darth Maul Sith Infiltrators late last night with 15% Rak. Already in warehouse.

Thanks to the great Lego community here I was able to get one by ordering early on Day 1 of the Insiders sale because of the information shared by exciter1. I am thankful for this community and feel fortunate to get this set one sale.

Yes. Historically I have received duplicates. The tracking this time is strange so I can’t tell if I’m not receiving them or if they have not arrived yet. I ordered physically large sets so the gwp are not in the same box.

Boutique Hotel $160.00 https://www.amazon.com/LEGO-Boutique-Building-Displayable-Surprises/dp/B09JKXSQWG

+ 15% Rakuten

We’re doing some maintenance on this page, so you won’t be able to see your order history or tracking info right now. Please check back in later. My orders page...on Black Friday?lol

I was going to post the sale on Barnes and Noble, points + christmas set, but wanted to also mention that Barnes Now charges shipping on large Lego sets, even for paid members. Wow. So anti-deal I guess. I didn't go through too many sets since the site is so clunky but looks like the threshold is around 130 and up. I paid 6.99

It's this time of the year again!! Happy Thanksgiving, everybody!

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone and be safe and sound.....And happy hunting for deals as well...I'm taking a bit easy this year and have enjoyed more selling than buying....Nice having the $$$ and more importantly the space

Happy thanksgiving to you all. Thank you all for your support.

Happy Thanksgiving! May your day be full of happy memories and cheers
