Gone for some X-Wings from ASDA. I know SW gets some odd looks these days but £95 delivered for 2 X-Wings and the brick box is pretty good IMO. It's the classic X-Wing, come on!

It's Star Wars.... cursed by Disney and was an easy pass for me ?

Good luck fighting off the QFLLs on this one.

I admit, George is the first one to make me drop a few grand since Tesco's good old days!

Amazon has this for £30 which is 25% off retail, you need lower than that?

Cheers Rog. Don't know how I missed that.

Buying Lego.

This job would be great if we got rid of the customers.

$200 shipped on eBay. All used. Seller says they are complete, they certainly look so in the pictures. Seller was very  responsive and when I asked, she said she would put each set in individual ziplock bags versus mixing them.

41078 Skyra's Mysterious Sky Castle
41172 The Water Dragon
41173 Elvendale School of Dragons
41175 Fire Dragon's Lava Cave
41176 The Secret Market Place
41178 The Dragon Sanctuary
41179 Queen Dragon's Rescue
41180 Ragana's Magic Shadow Castle
41183 The Goblin King's Evil Dragon

I was saving at least one of these for a future daughter (have 2 boys now) if we have one. Elves > Friends.  Now I can unload my last NIB 41178 and 41176 that I was saving, as well as continue to sell the rest of my copies of the other sets with reckless abandon.

It's apparently raining old Elves sets this week. Purchased this over the weekend. The seller seemed legit, but I wanted to wait for it to arrive before I shared.

The seals checked out, and the weight was correct.

Brand new copies of

41176 The Secret Market Place
41178 The Dragon Sanctuary

$103.99

Not the wow price of the last one, but it certainly should provide a comfortable profit.

 

Picked up;

60069 Swamp Police Station

10191 Star Justice

7636 Combine Harvester

60035 Arctic Outpost 

60036 Arctic Base Camp

7189 Mill Village Raid

7249 XXL Mobil Crane

All new in sealed boxes for $325. All for resale.

Going against the grain here...

94x 41615 Harry Potter & Hedwig Brickheadz from various places for an average of £8 each. It has to be the most sought after post EOL, right? If they hang on, I should at least break even. I was offered a Brick Bank locally for £110, but declined - he wouldn't swap it for a Pet Shop!

It is for me as I think those sets are hideously disgustingly horrific to look at so I'm banking on the continuous popularity of HP.

is the HP brickheadz schedule to be done this year?

Still widely available everywhere and untagged, so I think it'll be a while yet. It has been OOS on occasion so there is hope of it reaching 1x RRP in the afterlife.

I wouldn't say no to a £110 BB at this stage. I'm a believer.

all from 1 barnes and noble store, everything 50% off except for 2 minnie brickheadz. 

took 3 trips to harvest everything which was all on the shelves completely unmarked.

in the middle of holiday shopping insanity.  ahhh.  sigh..  so sublime wiping all the clearance out under such circumstances.

somehow i snagged 9  harry potter promos even though i was only due 5.  i guess i was rounding up when we were tallying and didn't encounter resistance.

most enjoyable part of the raid was the second checkout when the assistant manager starts ringing up the sets and seeing the prices and her eyes start bugging out saying "I didn't know there was a 50% off sale."

well, I went to a store, which I routinely bought lego from, during my lunchtime break. Checked out with $250 worth of lego and got 3 HP promos as planned.

Then here comes the interesting part, the person who checked me out happened to be the manager and he said he saw me purchased lego a lot (truth) from time to time and he thanked me for bringing biz to his store. As a token of thanks, he grabbed a couple more HP promos and put them in my bag, so instead of 3 promos, I got 8 ?

 

 

Couple more?...that’s 5 more!...lucky.

Definitely add that manager to the 75119 list to work the connection for the scoop on clearance and deals.

21310 Old Fishing Store at Barnes and Noble, plus 10% off and the Harry Potter promo.  Maybe not as good as the 'flash" sale at 30% off from Lego SAH over the Black Friday weekend and I am happy to find one.

Thanks to the picker who shared Barnes and Noble may still have a few of these big sets left!

Great haul!

That's awesome that you are saving sets for a daughter you don't even have yet! ?
