Protip --- get an account with WB Mason, and they deliver supplies free --- and they will price match places like ULINE. Alternatively you can search for a local packaging supply company. They will sell you boxes, tape etc very cheaply. Even at 25% staples is a rip off.

Now I might have to build mine. I have the old yellow race car 8376 and it's super fast. I didn't think a tracked car would be very fast.

For smaller scale sellers, Staples rip off is still cheaper than most places. Also, most of places do not have local packaging suppliers. Some suppliers do not deal with smaller sellers
June 8, 20205 yr One of the best thing I did for the reselling gig was being sure I had proper shipping supplies. It makes the job 100% easier. I carry about 6-8 different size boxes so I have what I need to be efficient in my shipping. I also bought a bubble pillow maker.

June 8, 20205 yr Just a heads up Zavvi has The White House (21054) and the Creator Pirate ship (31109) available to ship ahead of them being released on Shop At Home. They do have a 15% markup over MSRP though. Links? Can’t find on site.

June 8, 20205 yr 4 hours ago, gmpirate said: People definitely get offended when/if they find out you paid less than what you are selling for. Yes. People don't like surprises. I've found that people will pay more for a set if you photograph it well and disclose any imperfections in the description -- including stickers that are normally not present. I've sold plenty of sets with stickers that I was afraid would damage the box if I tried to remove them (even with the heat gun). And I can of the few thousand sets I've sold, not one has ever been returned because of box condition -- and I've sold a few with seals completely busted, but photographed the contents all placed out. If not disclosed, or you use generic stock photos, then you may find customers returning items that they expect to be pristine when even boxes straight out of the LEGO shipping boxes may have blemishes. There can be some unrealistic expectations out there -- but if I'm buying a set, I'd rather buy one that I know has a few stickers and dents than roll the dice and get one that looks like it was used for punching practice. Plus, these stickers are still officially LEGO and how many of them are going to exist in the long-run? Collectors may find them "rare" and pay more for boxes decorated with "Coronastickers". And if you are buying sets today with coronastickers, there's a good chance they haven't seen much shelf wear -- or likely never touched a shelf. I've noticed that the majority of my sets with coronastickers are coming from Target. And all in the last week. I haven't noticed any from Amazon or Walmart yet. Since Target sets that end up on the shelves almost always have the Target security sticker right on the front face, I'm much preferring the coronastickers.
June 9, 20205 yr Waiting for the eBay "Coronavirus super rare special variant packaging" Lego listings 😑

How much do films cost and how long do they last?
June 9, 20205 yr I did a brief search, forgive me if I missed it but is this a worthy deal to pick up? 20% off a case of DC figures no tax. https://shop-california.legoland.com/collections/sale/products/dc-super-heros-series

From an investment standpoint, how do the DC figures fare compared to other polybag series like this? Are we looking at good returns after retirement (assuming this is why the good sales)?

June 9, 20205 yr On June 26th there is suppose to be some previous GWP made available again, redeemable in Rewards Center for VIP points. Like the small droid commander polybag, you'll redeem your points for a code, with which to use on a purchase to get the VIP-redeemed item shipped. The only one I want is the Fountain for personal use, but I can get it on ebay for $25. The rest of these aren't worth acting on (to me), and 40178 VIP has previously been available on the Rewards Center. https://www.brickfanatics.com/retired-lego-gwp-sets-coming-to-vip-reward-centre/ 40178 VIP 5006085 Red Brick 40221 Fountain 40269 Duplo Photo Frame Edited June 9, 20205 yr by MusiKyle
June 10, 20205 yr I got a shipping notification today for my order from Zavvi of Destiny's Bounty and Creator Pirate Ship, both set to be here on Friday. There's also a 15% student discount so if you are a student, that helps keep Zavvi prices down.
June 10, 20205 yr 21318 tree house made a brief return on Amazon, oos nowIt briefly appeared this morning per a stock tracker but disappeared quickly. I got no notice that it showed up tonight. I have the worst luck with treehouses it seems (I chased a Friends treehouse forever years ago). I just want one of these for myself.

It literally just lasted a couple of mins, I was able to place an order for 1, and then poofed
June 10, 20205 yr Looks like Amazon had a bunch of stock in again. They still have 50+ Stranger Things sets. https://www.amazon.com/LEGO-Stranger-Things-75810-Building/dp/B07Q2WMBLR Edited June 10, 20205 yr by TheBrickClique
June 10, 20205 yr And poof. As far as I can tell most everything came in stock around all at once at 3:13. At least 30 hogwarts and 30 tree houses. And the first check of Upside Downs was 58 left. I wonder which factory this batch came out of. They were all showing a two-day delivery window.
June 10, 20205 yr Treehouse at Walmart. https://www.walmart.com/ip/LEGO-Ideas-Tree-House-21318/835634790 and poof Edited June 10, 20205 yr by TheBrickClique
