tacsniper Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 (edited) Wow, lovely! Jealous of the Space Shuttles and Deep Sea Exploration at $50 off especially. That`s a pretty sick find. Did you also buy the Classic sets for $20? Can`t see them on receipt/in the photo. yes classic $20. Grabbed 11 Edited July 3, 2015 by tacsniper 1 Quote
Sandwraith Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 Cool! Not one myself to put $2000 into non-exclusives, but i wouldn't mind a couple large space sets at $100. On a similar note; i have never seen Raptor Escapes in any of my local WM's. Quote

lego rules Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 Hope you can turn all that into a profit. I personally stay way clear of City and common Creator sets unless they are 90% off errors on ebay! 2 Quote
gravtation Posted July 4, 2015 Author Posted July 4, 2015 MIstake or real thing only for your Store ; tacsniper ? Did anyone else scored these clearance items ? lol Quote
gravtation Posted July 4, 2015 Author Posted July 4, 2015 So I was at one of my local WM in hopes to find some 75920 - Raptors Escape and ran into this and walked out with $2000 worth of damage in load 1. Heading back for round 2 to get the classic Like the fact that Alberta Invoice are also written in FRENCH .. "Circulaire maintenant en vigueur Jeudi" and also the back of the invoice is all french ! 1 Quote
nami Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 Thought I found my deal of the year last week on Kijiji with my SEALED Haunted House, Town hall, Fire brigade, and Pet Shop for $750.00 Today's find on Kijiji may have topped that: 1) UCS Imperial Star Destroyer 10030 2) USC Blockade Runner 10019 3) Jabba's Sail barge 6210 All 3 sets were built and 100% complete with near perfect condition instructions. Asking price was $440 for all. He accepted $350! Didn't think these kind of deals existed and yet I found 2 great finds in one week! 6 Quote
tacsniper Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 @nami, awesome find!! SSD alone is well worth it! Quote
Sandwraith Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 $350?! dang another home run... a couple of the rare pieces on that ISD together are worth $350, let alone the whole thing plus more! Super jealous (again) Quote
Elkkthunder Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 super coolI troll kajiji sometime but seems to be reseller prices Quote
Thumper Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 super coolI troll kajiji sometime but seems to be reseller pricesYea, kijiji has been a bust in my area for a couple years now since everyone's posting reseller+ prices (things like a bag of 100 pieces for $10 - yeash!) seems the days of the killer deals are long gone there. Luckily there's an entire subculture of mommy&me trading sites where the Lego deals are still quite excellent & the currency of trade is dippers, tiny clothing & Tupperware. :-) Quote

bigreen Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 Just picked10198 -- seems complete with instruction (missing some pages) and7964 -- missing Qinlan Vos, some trivial piece and only 1 instruction booklet for $230 from my local Kijiji.Is this a deal? Quote
nami Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 Hope you can turn all that into a profit. I personally stay way clear of City and common Creator sets unless they are 90% off errors on ebay!I have to agree. I buy a lot of small to medium sets on clearance. My 'Lego room" is probably 90% small to medium and only 10% large sets. I have stayed away from the city sets unless the dealswere too good to be true. Picked up 5 Police stations (60047) at Walmart for $30 each. To me the "city theme" deal has to be at least 60% off to make it worthwhile. City sets don't generally appreciateover time, and to make money on a "flip" is hard when factoring in fees. Buying them for personal enjoyment is different and it's great finding new released sets on sale to build and enjoy.On the other hand, Star Wars, Super heroes, etc, I have no problem putting these away for a few years and letting them appreciate. For investment purposes, $2000 is better spenton exclusives especially modulars and UCS sets.My rule of thumb on regular sets is minimum 30% off but generally 50% or better if I'm going to stock up.

I think there's money to be made, but maybe not a whole lot. I picked up a 10198 BNIB for $200 a year ago off ebay. Looks like it's used value has creeped up to a bit over that, so you -should- make your money back on the 10198 alone. Quote

lego rules Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 It's not a discount or a deal to me, however, I thought I would post that Discovery Toronto has some JW sets. Cheers. Quote
jeff_14 Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 It's not a discount or a deal to me, however, I thought I would post that Discovery Toronto has some JW sets. Cheers.I was there a week ago looking for some sets for my son and they didn't even have a home. I asked the clerk and they said they might have a shipment in 2 weeks. Happened to be there again on the weekend and they had Imperius Rex and the T-Rex sets but that's it.I saw the 2 smaller sets at the Mastermind at the Science Centre last week and got 1 of each, and was just at the refurbished toy section of the Eaton Centre Chapters and they have 12 or so each of Imperius Rex and T-Rex, as well as 8 ghostbuster sets.
