! Wife and baby clothed in Primark sweatshop fodder so household budget can be diverted to the Lego budget. Now that's a Lego fanatic! Credit due.

This is pretty cool! Someone combined two Destiny's Bounty sets to create a bigger ship:

In the description of the video:

Two combination sets of Lego the Ninjago movie set 70618 Destiny's Bounty is now here. All parts is used only from the 2 sets of 70618 except custom sails and non-Lego string. The length is double with more rooms and space. Training room was moved to lower deck and Master Woo room was moved to second deck. opposite to toilet, It is space for cargo.

Did anyone find downloadable instructions for this?

Disregard post.

 

Didn’t read quoted content. Referenced brickset, but not what you were after. Doh.

My "Like new - Open Box" set came in the mail from Blinq and I was able to go through it today to confirm that everything was present. The "open box" aspect must have been the dime-sized indent in the front of the box that didn't even punch through because there really wasn't anything else wrong with it. Seals were all intact, and after opening the box to confirm the number of bags and to check to see if anything was opened, it appears that I managed to get ahold of a new set for $104, which I am super pleased with because even though many people around here managed to get these for $79 last month, all of these disappeared from the Walmarts around me for between full price and $124. I hope to get another one from Target when they start discounting them or maybe get lucky with someone on a local site who sells one cheaply.

I just purchased 4 more of these at 45% off, as I sold my last 2 at RRP last month. Pretty tough deciding how much to gamble on this one, as I personally love it, but hate ninjago. I'm hoping it will become the next Haunted House, where the theme has a single standout set that fits into any collection. 

Personally I modified mine to have a single dragon head, and I love it!

If you’re passing on Ninjago for resale because you hate the theme then you’re missing out on great returns. Especially if you’re buying at 45% off.

It’s the 2nd best value ship that LEGO have ever released after the Imperial Flagship. It may even reach RRP within 6 months of EOL, it really is THAT good! 1.5x RRP max as sooooo many are out there.

Really?

What sets have shown good returns? Almost all the Ninjago I've ever purchased I've struggled to sell even at ~20% off. I might be in a pretty different market to you though. 
I recently turned down the Ninjago City docks at 35% off as I just can't see it being in demand in a few years.

Good point TabbyBoy... I'd be happy with 1.5x!

[zskid00]

Sorry I’m on the ap. Are you in the UK? Different markets and all that.

Buy two and build this. Disregard my crappy first attempt sails.

Target still loaded with them, at msrp of course. May be the last place that still has them in stock?

IWOOT has them as well, although it's the UK version. If it's for personal build, I don’t think this matters and they're cheaper there.

I got a few from there and the boxes were a little damaged.

I got a bunch from there and some were damaged, but most weren't. Working with customer service now on the damaged ones.

Me too. Not damaged, just a little bowed on the front of half of them.

Amazon is picky about box conditions, so I’ll end up parting them out. Not risking that.

Back in stock at amazon, 999 available no limit. The retired tag has been dropped from LEGO Shop at Home, now call to check and tagged as new. This was looking good early, already over 200 on amazon. hmmm
