vroom34 Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 I picked up a bomber and star destroyer for my personal collection using two sep. masterpass accounts. Decent deal for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shneebs Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 (edited) Destiny's Bounty and a few more sets back in stock - just ordered DB with the $25 Masterpass discount... $169.99 -$25 + local taxes (free shipping). It may be cheaper down the road, but I'll take it for now (27.5% discount off RPP). Another great option with this discount would be the Star Wars BB-8 set which is back in stock at $109.99 - perfect for the $25 off $100+ Masterpass deal (giving you approx 35% off RPP).

Can't make money on Destiny's bounty. There are cheaper options especially when it goes on sale for 20-25% off. BB-8 is worth it because you can slap on another 25 which means almost 25% off. People on ebay are selling Destiny's Bounty in the US for much lower than whatever you can squeeze out at costco. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although we haven’t seen great discounts on Destiny’s Bounty here in Canada, I do agree with everything you say, including that BB-8 is a better deal for investment purposes. But for me, I’m just not into it. My philosophy is to mostly buy singles of sets I’d like to build. That way if it doesn’t pan out for investment purposes, I’ll just build it. But I may kick myself down the road as BB-8 is kind of a quasi-UCS set... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R2D2 lasted quite a long time and I expect more deals for BB-8, having said that, I grabbed myself a BB-8 just in case. Might as well get one to build for now. Destiny's Bounty reminds me a whole lot of those lego movie sets like Benny's spaceship, that set is plain dead and I feel the same about Destiny's Bounty.

vroom34 Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 With double VIP, freebie, and click through SAH rebates, can do better than 15% off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebates 3%, double VIP 10%, it's close. 15% off means I don't have to list the freebie and hope someone buys, nor do I need to store up VIP points and force myself to spend it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same amount of savings while only having one set to flip is nicer than having more things to sell. Less is more. I didn't know the Porche was included... hmm. Oh well, 15% isn't that much. I don't typically go for Technic anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: I looked them up on Bricklink.... lowest Cdn prices as follows: Special Forces Commander $6.33 Unkar's Brute: $6.88 Han Solo (celebration): $7.20 Luke Skywalker (celebration): $9.60 So, the 2nd book for $17.99 looks like a decent deal...

Thumper Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Luckily just recently sold the last of my sw celebration figs a few months ago, they are not popular and will likely price plummet being re-released. even now their combined retail is barely pennies over the book cost once you add the tax. the empty books themselves are simply just give-aways due to shipping costs, have dozens of em listed at $2-$4 and never sold a single one other than at lug meetings.

I definitely didn't pick these up for investment; I just like the figs and my kids will enjoy the books. Win-win.
