Sometimes, like the bennyspace ship, the link is still there i think has today , but been sold out for 6 month and never returned... I missed something and I am still thinking about it, when I scrolled the buy 1 get the 2nd half price section, saw a fantastic batman statue worth 219$, was 119 or 129$+2nd half price, didn't take them, 1 hour later, I went to buy them and was sold out.... it was an really awsome batman statue When buying statues, you need to be strategic about it, if it is for investment purposes. Go with limited editions like Kotobukiya. The ones sold at TRU are not worth flipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got into the LEGO collector game back in 1999 when the very first Star Wars LEGO sets first came out and bought virtually everything until about 2 years ago. Take it from me, not all Star Wars LEGO will pay big dividends particularly if you buy in at retail pricing. Definitely wise to take advantage of sales, the closer to 50% off the better. Of course I've done very well with UCS Star Wars sets but the currently line of UCS sets like Slave 1, Sandcrawler, Tie fighter still give me pause considering some of the other choices LEGO has available. Star Wars LEGO is cool but the sheer volume its produced in and the likelyhood of subjects being recreated over and over limits the whole line somewhat. Think about all the X-wing sets that have come out and probably still to be released! Disney will milk the Star Wars property for at least the next 10 years and LEGO will be there right along cranking out the sets In my experience, any lego with Star Wars on it will sell for at least MSRP after EOL, so if you can get it cheaper you're golden. I was at the Fairview lego store last week and saw something I'd never seen before. The entire Star Wars section was empty except for the UCS sets. Not just the Force Awakens stuff but all of the sets from the previous six movies. Gone. Made me feel better about picking up 2 Force Awakens Tie Fighters at Real Canadian Superstore yesterday for $60 each plus tax. That was all they had of Star Wars. Must have lucked into some returns.

Gray2010 Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Same here. 75% of my sales are Star Wars and 25% are, don't laugh, Lego Friends and Elves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tacsniper Posted January 4, 2016 Author Share Posted January 4, 2016 Same here. 75% of my sales are Star Wars and 25% are, don't laugh, Lego Friends and Elves. There are potential for profits from the friends line if purchased at the right price. I bought over 30 Olivia's house last summer when TRU had them on sale plus $10 coupon and I sold them at $100+ each. Just look out for deals.

gravtation Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 7 hours ago, Gray2010 said: don't laugh, Lego Friends and Elves Will never laugh since these Friends Lego and Elves Lego are really good for quick flip when you score them at 40%off or more, for sets over 30$. It's rare but it happen sometime, and when you can get any at this reduce price , you pick them all, no questions asked, Since there's almost no deals on these in stores, when I tell my friends, and customers I have some in .. they all go nuts and visit me asap to get them. + 2015 was especially a good selling year for all my LEGO FRIENDS find, Sold just a little over 120 sets through Kijiji + friends, only 4-5 sets took the ebay route due to higher value for retired sets, that Kijiji or friends wouldn't afford.

Sea Cows fetching 350-400USD now, so in CAD, you have a double. Around 500-550CAD? I was able to grab 22 sea cows on the sale, avg out my cost of around $190CAD per sea cow after tax. Not bad at all. Next thing to clean from TRU would be ferris wheels and any modular set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ph4tb0i Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 I diversified a bit but similar strategy. 14 sea cows and 16 technic mobile cranes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lego rules Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Being already banned from Walmart, I try and be careful to not have the same fate at tru; so only got 10 Sea Cows. Would have liked more with the $209 BOGO price but I am actually out of physical room in my storage area so need to sell some older sets.

I scored 3 sea cow at 239.99$, when it first came back with special 20% off..TRU online only gave me the price match afterward no B1G1 1/2p. When this b1g1 1/2p went on I was the one here who saw it first and reported it here during the night when everyone was partying.. but their piece of crap website with crappy script to pay for my full cart wasn't working at all.. so I went to bed .. as I woke up ..everyone here got full basket of it.. wasn't able to score only 1 ..

Dustler Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Pulled out my sea cows out of the box, slight dent in the bottom corner of one and scratched at the bottom edges a bit on the other. I'll live but they look great when I opened the box. You guys might want to check to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also had the slight dent on the shipping box but the actual Lego box inside seemed fine and had no damage whatsoever.
