Guest TabbyBoy Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 1 minute ago, cladner said: if you get someone complaining about the neck its because you are selling to another QFFL and you should raise your prices to avoid dealing with such vermin. Not necessarily and why would a QFLL want to open it and built it anyway? If I bought one for little Timmy and the neck was busted, I'd want the seller to sort out at the problem as that's who I did the business transaction with. If it sells to a QFLL, they'll be unlikely to open it before re-reselling and then the problem becomes theirs! ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyhanukkah Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 I also imagine there will be eBay listings proclaiming that it's a newer one with the fixed neck, which will drive down prices slightly on the older ones. But you guys are probably right, most people won't care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cladner Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 (edited) with Target's $25 off $100 sale and assuming you have 10% GC's remaining from last week, 2 Wall-Es can be had for 42.74 each before tax. ~ 30% off. ignore the 250 other reseller urchins on amazon with the same idea as you.

wotguvnotmeguv Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Was surprised to see a shelf full of these at £34.99 at TRU, Stevenage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TabbyBoy Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I've seen this also for £34.99 at several JL branches (Reading had 5 on the shelf last Friday), it seems like this is a slow seller and could will take a while to disappear. The seal code on my newest one is 44S6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoHu Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Plenty in the JL branch when i went to Sunday. Funny they only had one when it was £29.99. And a pallet load in the middle of the Lego Shop just a few metres away from the JL branch. Also had Ecto 1's & TBBT. Been a month ago (didnt buy) & they still have plenty.

Scatterbug Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 (edited) I've got so much good will for the film, the character and the set that I almost don't care about the performance of this. As a last resort they will be presents or I have an army of loveable robots on my hands. But I have faith (and a near 50% buy-in).

Guest TabbyBoy Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 I think this will do fine once the retailers have run out. Doctor Who and Ecto1 the same. My average buy-in for these 3 sets was around 45% off so I'll still get my money back with a little "interest". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeChiliPeP Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 hey, I bought some Wall e sets last week. I have question about that code on the seals. Perhaps someone can help me? ?My sets show all the code 37S6. What`s the meaning for that code? Are the sets produced before or after that neck fix issue ? regards, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GhostDad Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Since I missed out on all the fun last year, can someone confirm the minimum "safe" seal code date to be sure the neck is fixed? And are resealed (by Lego) sets acceptable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TargetZero Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Like i've said at some occasion in the past wall-e is going to perform well. Now look at sold listing on ebay, 100$ CDN on average, maximum seen is 110$CDN in canada, and 120$ CDN in USA without shipping. (shipping not included). It does perform well. With a nice buy-in price like i had, this is a gem for me. Huge seller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wotguvnotmeguv Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Listing's disappeared entirely from UK SAH - they've cleaned out the Ideas range to the bare bones now, with Doctor Who and Ecto-1 still marked retiring soon. Going to be a very interesting one to follow, this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wotguvnotmeguv Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 I'm talking purely about UK SAH. It was there yesterday, and has gone entirely now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TabbyBoy Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 I'm not missing the selling window this time. I've been making £22 profit (after expenses) on every WALL-E for the last week. After a £27 buy-in, that's a cracking return after only 2 months! Please don't PM me for me these as I'm having no problem selling them ;-) Doctor Who & Ecto1 will also be listed as soon as they are either retired or no longer listed on LEGO Shop at Home. At least buyers are not too tempted with the crap L***N version... at the moment! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
