OOS Lego shop EU at home till 22nd December!

Will this be flip (The Tumbler) of the year?

Maybe among the top 5 for the year. It does have one of the longest durations for flipping.

In no particular order using USD.

The Tumbler (only 50%-60% over MSRP)

Research Institute (reached 300% - 500% over MSRP)

Exosuit (at one point reached about 125% over MSRP. 75% - 100% was prob more of the normal right before and after the peak).

Haunted House (already about 100% over MSRP)

Town Hall (there are sales of 100%-150-% above MSRP)

I can't speak to the Minecraft and friends stuff.

RI is by far the winner. Nothing else will come close to x5 msrp. The rover was a good flip but you were better off holding it. Tumbler is good, I would like to see It get to 350. Been stuck at 300, once fees and shipping come out its only ok. Most of the minecraft sets are looking good for the next few werks.

Good point with the Advents (d'oh on me since I sold them last month). I was going to include them in my list.

The SW was about 80% of MSRP at it's peak in a very short window. I know we had peak sales of about 100%.

The City was closer to 75%.

The year is not over yet, the new Minecraft sets might give other sets stiff competition for "the best" :money:

[Alpinemaps]

Mixels Series 1 - 297%

Research Institute - 388%

[JDLego324]

I don't have percentages off the top of my head, but RI and MR must be up there.  RI close to 5X and MR an easy 3X.

WM Creative Tower, paid $30 ea on Black Friday, sold for $75 shipped = 150% profit in 5 days.

[redghostx]

I think the best one time flip is the 10221 at 75% profit ($300). It came packaged in a box already so take a photo and go to the post office. The other ones require more work for a larger return of a less valuable set (see RI and $ Signs)

Ex Astris, Scientia.

sold 3 Pirates of the Caribean Black Pearls for 600% (got them for 49.50$ at Walmart, I know it wasnt a 2014 set but I sold them in 2014, lol)
