Ebay listings like this one aren't helping sales for authentic Lego Brictober Street view collections.  I used to get $100- $120 before fees for the collection of all 4 sets, now I'm lucky to get $65- $70 before fees..

didn't tough it was this far... listing like this should not be allowed. Are they?

I mean we see it's an exact copy..

This ticks me off because the last time TRU had this promo and I got a couple and one set was absolutely crushed in their terrible packaging. I called to complain and they told me they had no more left to exchange.

Also annoyed, as last time they had this promotion, I ended up getting two of one of the Bricktober sets, so I didn't even get the complete collection.

You guys need to shop at TRUs with zero expectations.;)

 

[lobo1969]

TRUs advertised 20% off Friends and Creator sets but it turns out it was a meager list, nothing note worthy.

[ltbuyer]

Lasting Toys is running 15% off most everything (doesn't end in .X5 prices, or already on sale etc) which covers creator and 20% off most friends (again except .X5 prices).

BOGO 1/2 off starts today. Sadly there doesn't seem to be any Lego on clearance to get the deal.

That isn't entirely true. You could get Duplo Peter Pan Visit! So exciting!

[jeff_14]

They're also selling Star Wars figures, including 6 inch Black Series, for up to 40% off

[gster]

Off topic, but what do you guys think about the 1/4 Arkham Knight Batman figure?

[TargetZero]

have someone found something hot in store with the BOGO?

[megahuts]

Nothing

Available with 6 different sets.

I really need to get a friends address in the city so I can actually order this stuff. Silly Toys'R'Us and their $50 rural shipping.

Thanks Vodium! I was finally able to get a Ferrari with the promo.  I like half price exclusives, especially if I decide to build it.  I had to take advantage of TRUoffering free shipping to BC for once (although the larger value sets have a shipping charge)

[Zelgazra]

Sweet. Twiddled my thumbs thinking on it too long last time this came around. Had a $25 GC to burn, grabbed my first Ferrari. At 119 I might grab another, too bad the Mini isn't included this time though, I'd prefer one of those for a personal build I think. 

[Zelgazra]

Hah. Just placed a second order, and they're already out of the full streetview collection. Getting 2 Hotels with the second order, 0 TRU Store.

TRU.ca must have millions of these things.

You may have a bit of trouble selling streetview to recoup half your cost.  Although I haven't used ebay, these are not selling like hotcakes.

 

[Zelgazra]

^^ Agreed. They don't sell nearly as high as many had hoped they would either. Though with the $119 buy-in, flipping the collection at around $70 is still great value. Doesn't look as good against a $229 Slave 1.

I can easily get $67 Canadian out of them, after fees, based on solid listings on ebay.

Last listing sold for $69.99 not counting ebay and paypal fees.  I have no doubt you can sell for $67 net but it may not be as easy as you think.  I have a dozen of these sets and they are VERY slow sellers.

That's $67 Canadian , based on $10+ for shipping.  I sold them before and I can do it again, especially with domestic shipping in the US.

You're probably correct that it is a lot harder to sell them domestically in Canada

Have had no luck selling these as well locally.   May start using them as party favors soon.
