April 11, 20178 yr I bought 5 or 6 of the Holiday Bauble 853345 (gold bricks) on clearance a few months back... can't recall what I paid... $2 or $3 each? Have had them on Amazon FBM ever since at the lowest price ($11.90 shipped) and have not sold a single one (despite this being the cheapest Lego ornament I found in a quick search). I was just thinking about opening them up and parting out the bricks. Interesting... the tag says "43 pcs"... I now learned that means 40 bricks + 2 ornament halves + 1 gold ribbon. Doing a little more research, I see that a few are selling on eBay around $10 each... maybe I'll just do that. One other idea... part out the bricks, and sell the empty baubles separately around next Christmas season... perfect for making your own decorations?
April 11, 20178 yr They were $2 limit 5 per order on 2/9. Thanks for the heads up on the ribbon. I will have to open one up when I get home later.
April 11, 20178 yr I was going to say: Who _IS_ buying christmas stuff this time of year, especially when it's not on sale .... but then I sold a christmas bundle (24-in-1 calendar, snowglobe, reindeer poly) on EBay recently so there are people out there who plan ahead. I'm keeping mine (I've got 15 all bought at $2) till closer to the holidays, and if they don't sell (or the market gets flooded, or LEGO decides that this comes back from the dead), I'll part out the bricks.
May 4, 20178 yr I sold two ornament halves on Bricklink recently. I love these things. They may be worth having in November. I parted out all the gold ones I had for my personal collection. I love owning a huge bag of gold bricks. Now, what to build...
