Just managed to get Assault on Hoth from LEGO Shop at Home for 30% off. Extreme page refreshing pays off...

The same for me with Tower of Airijtzu.... :-)

My faith in buying retired sets direct from Amazon is restored for now.

• 60102 City VIP Plane (441S7).
• 42048 Technic Go Kart (40S7)
• 21131 Ice Spikes (439S7)

All recent productions and all in very good condition, apart from annoying barcode stickers on two of them.

I hope you didn't pay too much for those. I've rarely had any problems with Amazon and any discount was always offered as soon as I complained. There's not many sales on right now and all good sets in Berkshire are scanning at full price everywhere. We'll get more deals soon once retailers start losing sales.

I paid the right price to turn a profit now, but I'm eyeing a bigger return in November. Really like the Go-Kart (my son likes Mario Kart and he wants to build this Lego set). The VIP plane and Limo are unique enough to do well. Ice Spikes had a short production run and low number of resellers. 

So, yes feeling optimistic. 

Would you buy 75188 Star Wars 8 Resistance Bomber @ 64,99 euros ?

Good... I got my 42048s when they were half price and I'm selling them all day for £30, but I'll keep some back fro next Xmas. The only problem with 42048 is the crap steering where it always seems to pop out, 8256 with proper rack/pinion was so much better IMHO and I have 4 of those left. I also bought some VIP Plane Limos from Tesco instore last year for £12 and flipped them all the same week. I don't know why, but I just can't get interested in Minecraft - perhaps as I'm anti-Microsoft?

Good luck anyway!

My 10 Caterhams arrived... 9 in mint condition (I assume as they are packed in addition in the original LEGO boxes, 3 in one box).

The last one is totally destroyed... I will give them a call for some free VIP points and will build this one..

Thanks. To be honest I only go by recent sold prices. Aeroplanes interest me and some have performed well (60021 and 41109) - perhaps Lego planes have an appeal for aviation enthusiasts who collect fleets. 

I'll buy most Minecraft at 3 for 2 all day and pay close to RRP some recently retired sets, including Wither, Ice Spikes, Dungeon and End Portal. Stock of these sets must be all-but-gone.

No. 50 max.

retired milano's £24 tesco

Bought a kwik mart and a Simpson’s house for RRP from Smyths.

Bought a kwik mart and a Simpson’s house for RRP from Smyths.

I was in my local Smyths yesterday and they had 3 Simpsons Houses sitting there, looking pretty mint!! I know it's doing well already for a set that hasn't officially retired but at RRP I'm worried there isn't much meat on the bone! I wished I'd gone deeper when I was picking these up easily at £130!!

Only really worth buying RRP if it exceeds £300. Who knows? Maybe next Xmas. If it doesn’t I’ll just add the kwik-e mart to my modular town and make a small profit on the house.

Why is everyone going mad for bb8 at Tesco? It’s full price no?

If you're lucky enough to find one in store they are selling them off for about £25 to free up shelf space.

one sealed and the other seals snapped but everything sealed inside

Super hard to find now. Anyone found any recently? The online stock check is definately out of date for London stores 

Got Kylo's tie. I am really liking this set since it reminds me of original space police and blacktron.

Okay, I know this isn't the right thread. But what did I buy for $40? All I saw was in the pics of the small bin was the flat Islanders 6278 baseplate and some of the blue half assembled ones on the left. Maybe the Gungan sub...I also see some Bionicle stuff but I'm not familiar with that at all...

75185 @ 39 - Tracker
70904@18 (aren’t these retired now) ? - Clayface (retired)
75139 @ £29 - Battle on Takodana (retired)
75171@38 - Battle on Scarif - (retired)
75532@£30 - Scout Trooper Speeder Bike
 

Always worth mentioning set names to save others the trouble. All still seem a bit steap still, scout trooper is a nice set at £30 for personal build. Would probably skip the others.

The fact they are all 20 deep probably gives you the indication you need . . . .

Any doubt, look at eBay sold listings to gauge recently sold listings and see if there is any meat on the bone.

Where is this huge Tesco? All my locals are tiny and pathetic!

Give it a couple of weeks and they should go down again, should be some left if there's that many of them!
