December 13, 20187 yr Found a few 71021 that were just put on the shelfSent from my SM-G950W using Brickpicker Forum mobile app
January 9, 20196 yr New Years resolution was to buy less and focus on short term flips when buying. So much for that. Walmart at Lawrence and Markham in scarborough is closing and when I went in today I discovered all toys are 50% off. Me and this other guy filled a cart each with all the latest sets. Some may take a while to sell but at half off you can’t go wrong. I got mostly Star Wars, including the Hoth medical bay and the snoke throne room. I’m being truthful when I say there’s nothing left. Definitely a right place at the right time fluke. If I was even an hour later there’s be nothing.

January 12, 20196 yr Major price drops on the clearance Lego online. Seems to be a limit of 5 per item in an order unless my computer is just acting up.
April 9, 20196 yr Found couple of overwatch sets at good price, i've cleared them all here, 25$ for bastion worth 70$ for exemple, found some 60% off star wars too cleared has welll, but nothing big this year so far at walmart, they lowered they inventory so less clearance, but i think this summer ill make a good score principal lego shelves are fullll and they wont sell that much until summer( usualy) so when summer batch will arrive, i assume they will have more clearance, but this years is the worst year for me and deals... I found my deals elsewhere but walmart used to be a good filler for me Edited April 9, 20196 yr by TargetZero

I don't dabble much in reselling LEGO anymore, but couldn't pass on these. Stash some away and build some myself.
July 12, 20196 yr Lego Voltron @ 20% off... ($183.89) - seems like it would be an infrequent mark-down item... sign of retirement?

They also had the UCS Y-wing at $168 - 33% off. Maybe it is going as well. Even at that price I didn't pick up any as I just don't have the room and the return will be minimal.

Wow that would have been a steal, out of stock though, would have grabbed one for personal collection
July 13, 20196 yr Wall Mart has a few Things on Clearance right now for 30% off. Including some other sets Like Tron for 25% off. These tend to do well after the fact. Picked up a couple. Edit: Im bias for the TRON sets.. as you can see by my Pic.. ? Edited July 13, 20196 yr by Substored
August 6, 20196 yr Quite a few sets online @ 45% off... some examples: Yoda's Hut (75208) $19 (reg $34.99), Ninjago Firstbourne (70653) $49 (reg $89.99), Solo Conveyex (75217) $59 (reg $109.99)... a few more...

Seems to be a scanner problem that has been fixed in the last 24 hours
August 14, 20196 yr Walmart for me has been hit or miss... more misses then hits though. And very rarely get anything fro more than 50% off. although it does happen on occasion when a manager discounts and doesn't know better.
August 14, 20196 yr Came across some star wars sets at one store for 50% off, every other store i checked had horrible discounts. Didn't bite on the star wars even at 50% off as profit from Star Wars sets isn't what it used to be. Did however find 3 boxes of Disney Series 2 minifigures at $2 per minifigure. This was a no brainer with the Train coming and many more Disney minifigure series coming in the future.

Unless you get REALLY lucky and the store managers have no clue.. which is interesting to me because I would clear the shelf for 50% of starwars (even the crappy sets.) yet I wont buy the mini figures anymore unless I get them for $1 or less. Cant move them individually. I find I need to buy the cases to sell. Its funny how sales work for different peeps. To each there own. ?

I would sell in lots of 20 for birthday parties I guess folks don't want pre-smooshed individual bags and boxes seem to be the only guarantee

Smoosh what I can find on clearance and then fill in the holes. Disney especially people want complete sets and pay a premium. As for the 50% star wars , if it's for personal build or gifts then great. For resale , collectors don't want these crappy remakes. Factor in shipping and fees and where's the profit? After over 10 years of doing this I've realized where the profit is. Right now star wars is not where it's at.

Some people don't ship and only sell locally like myself. I've had no luck selling minifigs, except in sealed cases and even then razor thin profits so I stay away from them. Star Wars is worth it generally for 50% off but not less for me but like already mentioned, somethings sell better for others.
