I think anyone will be hard pressed to find anything at Big W now (unless they have found more pallets), my local has been picked clean.
April 13, 201510 yr Whenever I hear the words Big W, I think of that occer guy with the imperial shuttles, how the hell he managed to swing that I'll never know
April 15, 201510 yr No more 20% off Lego at DJs. I went to get some minifigs yesterday, but they were 5 bucks. I did get a piggy guy though, and 3 Mr burns.

I was able to nab about 15 of the latest series at WW for $3.50 each (30% off toys) through feeling got a good selection, although no HD or Unicorn Girl. It doesn't phase me much as I normally send them out as bonuses for eBay purchases.

Minifigs are my plan to get ebay seller rep. It seems to be working. Piggy sold for 14.25. Must have been the right price cuz he sold within an hour of being listed. I'm not bothering with minifigs that go for less than 9-10 bucks. Apu, Milhouse, Burns and Wiggum are popular. I'll save my sets for sale later in the year, or until after eol. With the Force Awakens coming out in December, I predict that classic SW sets will get better profit margins. We'll have to see though... If I can get good discounts on ISD and AT-AT ill pounce on em.

Parting out is also a good way to work up the numbers, its a little time consuming but it does get the numbers.
April 15, 201510 yr Parting out is also a good way to work up the numbers, its a little time consuming but it does get the numbers. I've thought about that, parting out minifigs from sets. I bought some Death Star Troopers at WW for 30% off and I might part them out. I wouldn't want to part bricks and bits though. It seems like a lot of work! I'm sure it'd be profitable in the long run, but sorting takes a lot of time. Atm I'll stick to smoothing out suited minifigs and selling my stash of rarer Simpsons ones. Apparently they are now eol with series two coming out, they may appreciate, but I don't think they'll exactly go through the roof.
April 15, 201510 yr Kwik-E-Mart available at LEGO Shop at Homewho need the Kwik-E-mart? I dooooo. IMO the Simpsons House looks balls. The Kwik-E-mart on the other hand is the bomb! +you get Snake
April 15, 201510 yr who need the Kwik-E-mart? I dooooo. IMO the Simpsons House looks balls. The Kwik-E-mart on the other hand is the bomb! +you get Snake I pulled the trigger on one...
April 15, 201510 yr I pulled the trigger Nice I'll probably wait until I can get one at discount, being the tightwad I am. IMO it is almost modular quality. So much detail inside and even out the back of it. Plenty of unique printed tiles and bricks! No more stoned minifigs to boot. I'm well impressed
April 15, 201510 yr Might new to invest in those second set of shelves, I literally have no room left

April 15, 201510 yr I saw these box protectors on eBay and thought I'd give them a go. They're a bit of an outlay but I think good protection for long term holds. Also reusable when I sell the sets. Edited April 15, 201510 yr by slobey

ImageUploadedByBrickpicker Forum1429110080.264070.jpg look like a good idea, did they set you back much?
April 16, 201510 yr Larger ones are $11 each plus postage, the more you buy at once the cheaper they become. I'm paranoid about dust, shelfwear, crushing, my 4 year old opening them etc etc. So they're good piece of mind for my long term holds. Once all the tabs are snapped in they're pretty hard to get open.... The website is www.videogameboxprotectors.com.au
April 16, 201510 yr Hmmm which myer? Don't know specifics but call around and you might get lucky. I imagine that most will be on hold at this point though
April 16, 201510 yr Just a note about the clear lego box protectors, I see guys use these at the brickvention on sets, like harry potter and from a selling point it makes them look pretty special and yes keeps everyones finger prints off them. I think you should leave them on in a sale, if I were to buy sets in these, I would go back as they show you take that extra care. By the way thanks for link, I am going to find one for my back to future set that I had signed by Chris Lloyd. Edited April 16, 201510 yr by AFFOL
