He did, but his price wasn't better than 36 GBP each as far as I remember.

Tabby several pages back  said: "If Tesco drops the price after you've ordered, call them up. I was advised that the few 60124 Volcano sets I bought dropped by £5 so I called them, the difference was refunded straight away. Keep an eye on prices for 28 days after you order and you may qualify for this little "bonus". 

So... these RRP £80 sets cost me just £30 each in the end. I'm watching until tomorrow night to see if any other prices have dropped. At least it's a treat not a trick!"

Bought a GBFH for $380 Australian which is not too bad.  Think its $500 at LEGO .

So yeah, personally the Volcano sets wouldn't be the first things on my list for a flip or a hold.

hard to find now LEGO Speed Champions McLaren Mercedes Pit Stop Set #75911   @TRU 3x26+ with 10 GC (sold out amazon, LEGO Shop at Home, target and walmart) 

 

the Speed Champions theme is a TRU exclusive.  the only you place you could ever buy it directly was TRU and shop at home.  the theme was never for sale from walmart, amazon.com, or target.   anything on amazon is third party.

this theme is a total dark horse or money pit.  place your bets.  at least with gift cards and this sale you can buy some first wave sets below MSRP that are on the cusp of retirement.

I don't know how much lego paid for that set to be labelled as "top toy for xmas", its in all the UK catalogs as the best lego toy for this xmas.

None of my nieces / nephews, feedback from lego store, internet is saying this is the must have set. I'll probably be wrong though lol

Lego usually release the best selling sets with their annual report so will lookout for that next year to see how it performs.

The first wave of cars should easily double once retired, who knows about the rest

Did you manage to get the Porsche with it also?

No not that keen on the porsche at the moment. Maybe next year.
Running out of shelves.

Yeah the GBHQ is definitely a better a better build IMHO but the porsche is almost 40% off RRP which is very tempting.

One of my local independent toy stores (who, when I asked, told me they are one of the US top-ten authorized LEGO resellers) carries this line as well. They have a vast LEGO collection - on par or larger than the B&M LEGO store in town.

At this time of the year, there's a supermarket chain that does 50% off in toys. One pays full price and 50% of the amount paid is credited on the supermarket's client card. I almost didn't went because it opened early and I thought I wouldn't find anything worth my time and waking up early. Guess what? I found 5 Ant-Man sets among other left-over sets! There was a limit on 3 of the same toy so I went home to get my GF client card and when I came back one of the sets was gone. Bought 4! What a lucky find.

You mean you didn't hide the other two when you left to get your girlfirend's card.

He probably did not arrive yet at that chapter of the reseller book.

What happened was, I hide one and brought 4 to the counter. The lady told me I could only take 3 and between getting home and coming back, that one disappeared (I asked 3 different employees, including the lady who enforced the limit but no luck) and the other I hide was there waiting for me.

I snagged 6 75048 Phantoms, 16€ each...

Picked up my  Lego Technic 42030 Volvo L350F 3 off £86 each Tesco Direct, came in plastic bin liners fortunately arrived in good condition.

I bought a Brick Bounty for $88 (after coupon) at a local toy store. It was the last one, and I'd been eyeing it for a few months. Fine just building if the price doesn't grow. 

 

Two Creative Boxes 10697 for 30.00 each.

To be honest they are for my wife's summer camp business, great price though.

Yep, a good price for used without a box as well

Picked these up at BN over the weekend. Rather surprised as I missed out on them last year.

I picked up a couple at Legoland hoping I could QFLL them for some quick cash. Maybe not if they're appearing else where.
