The comment above is a rate of return comment, I may or may not have the expenses you have. Oh yes, my first sentence was a joke as I do the investment management thing as a profession. No worries. So do I. Buy side. Quote
legogregors Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 (edited) Amazon Third Party has a Brand New Sealed Box for $114.99 Shipped. That is very close to MSRP plus tax for anyone who needs one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00NHQHEJE/ref=sr_1_1_olp?ie=UTF8&qid=1453747417&sr=8-1&keywords=lego+brick+bounty&condition=new shipping went from 0.12 to 8.49 so not much of a deal any longer.

DenJ91 Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 (edited) picked one up today at local K-Mart for around $48. I never go to kmart for lego and it's the first time I think I've ever checked there and they had one brick bounty left even though it not showing in store online. It was a flawless box with nice seal codes. Saw an ad that said sing up for sears/kmart credit card and it'll credit 50% of your first buy up to $50 on the initial statement. Also used $5 off coupon. So didn't pay anything yet and way I understand the ad is that my first statement will show the reduced bill at around $48ish. anyway, love this ship, think it's a big winner. I was mad at myself for missing it and it's already selling for as much as $140 and averaging around $130 almost on eBay. Short life, nostalgic theme to me and it seems just about all ships ever do well. Edited January 25, 2016 by DenJ91 typo 1 Quote
legogregors Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 If you hadn't seen the sign, would you have bought it for MSRP + tax(less $5 off coupon)? I left a couple on the shelf at MSRP over the weekend but I already have three that were ~$80 each. My modest goal is that 1st and 2nd will end up paying for 3rd. Quote
stackables Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 Are these long gone from Lego stores? I was thinking of giving my closest store a call to see if they had any hidden in the back Quote
diablo2112 Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 There's still a few in the wild that I've seen. I bought 5 from TRU for $88 at discount, so I didn't pull the trigger. 1 Quote

stackables Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 Just called....no luck. Looks like I will just wait for the next ship. Quote
legogregors Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 The inventory or available at stores does not work as well on my phone vs. computer. Also, the two I left on the shelf were not showing up as available on phone or computer. Quote

Vasselin Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 Yesterday I saw 4 of them at 110$CAD, so around 72$US...I hesitate to buy them (already buy 2 at this price)...Should I? 1 Quote

I think at msrp I would have left it alone. I really like it and think it'll be a winner but with fees and shipping these days, the hold is too long at retail for me anyway. I think it will still be a winner for those who buy in at retail but I just don't have the cash to wait too long. $50 was a no brainer and I was thrilled with that deal so. Quote
Hogi Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 its still being sold around 80€ in some shops, i have my doubts about it. Quote
Crustybeaver Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 (edited) And back to Retired Now OOS, expected ship date 9th Feb. WTH, someone's having a bit of fun with the buttons me thinks. Edited January 26, 2016 by Crustybeaver Quote
Crustybeaver Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 TOOS now. I think it's fair to say the people pressing these buttons don't have a Scooby Doo Quote
seth78 Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 (edited) Any advice on a buy in on this one? I saw one at my local store at MSRP, but this feels like a long, long hold. I feel like I'd be better off spending my money on a few more Tumblers. Edited January 29, 2016 by seth78 Quote
jaxman Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 (edited) I think a lot of people towards the end of last year had been getting it around $70-80. Edited January 29, 2016 by jaxman Quote
buidee Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 Over the last two weeks, I was able to clear my local Kmart of their 4 Brick Bountys with points, 10$ off 10 Coupons, $5 off 50 coupons, etc to get them about $90 each (retail was 99.99). They are long term holds but other people were able to get them for about $80 when they were on sale. If you can still find Tumblers for retail price, of course, buy tumblers. You can't go wrong with Lego Pirate Ships for long term holds. Quote
