Jules_K Posted October 17, 2015 Posted October 17, 2015 Will do . $15 USD = $20 AU and I probably overestimate fees by $5 as a habit , rather than underestimate. As ebay and paypal fees are often higher than you think, when you have a good look at the percentage that you are paying over the year compared to sales. It is good profit. But it is not the 2 x retail that is being said. Hopefully it should go up though.That's an instant $20 return on a $70 set without lifting a finger, I wouldn't be complaining with that! :-)Wait until early December to see what these are selling for.... 1 Quote
cory730 Posted October 17, 2015 Posted October 17, 2015 Bad news is I just pulled my first RE with fresh seal off a Walmart shelf. And then another 4 off another Walmart shelf. I saw green in Stock on Walmart app 2 days ago but now showing 6 in my little area in Stock. So looks like most of the million Walmarts will get at least one case. Good news we can load up more but could really hurt long term and short term. Quote
Darth_Raichu Posted October 17, 2015 Posted October 17, 2015 What are the seal codes of those RE ? 1 Quote

dcdfan Posted October 17, 2015 Posted October 17, 2015 I've bought at MSRP more for this theme than any other. It just don't feel right.If these do come back next year, the upside is that they'd probably meet sale prices... Quote
Alpinemaps Posted October 17, 2015 Posted October 17, 2015 I've bought at MSRP more for this theme than any other. It just don't feel right.And that's why I have ZERO of this theme. I just can't bring myself to pay retail for it. 2 Quote
trekgate502 Posted October 17, 2015 Posted October 17, 2015 And that's why I have ZERO of this theme. I just can't bring myself to pay retail for it. I have paid over retail for some of this theme and happy with results everyone has their own way and that is what makes investing fun 1 Quote
ositosoto Posted October 17, 2015 Posted October 17, 2015 I paid retail but only during tous r us bricktober sets...Canada.. Quote
mfortunek Posted October 17, 2015 Posted October 17, 2015 I've bought at MSRP more for this theme than any other. It just don't feel right.Deeply like. I feel naked standing there holding these sets marked at full MSRP, walking to the register... With no coupon, no heavily discounted gift card, no second coupon, no third coupon, no feeling of butterflies in my stomach wondering if all my coupons are going to stack or if that sad looking cashier with those beady little eyes is going to throw a roadblock on me...I just feel naked. Then I go through with it anyway, go home and input the purchase into my dinky little spreadsheet with a frowny face next to the price paid on each set. Full MSRP plus tax. Just sad. 1 Quote
BrickLegacy Posted October 17, 2015 Posted October 17, 2015 Don't be sad. Timmy will be sad. Then you will make Timmy happy. Then you will be happy. 1 Quote
tacsniper Posted October 17, 2015 Posted October 17, 2015 With no coupon, no heavily discounted gift card, no second coupon, no third coupon, It's sad this is not a concern in Canada as coupons are a joke up here. They are non-existent in the world of Toys. Non-stackable. No discounted gift cards. Only time we got this theme on sale was back in June or July from TRU Quote

Which, in most cases, is hurting me investment wise. Fortunately I accept my folly. 1 Quote

But it is not the 2 x retail that is being said. Hopefully it should go up though.But it is 2x retail for those of us that don't exclusively use eBay and Amazon. Also, the point wasn't that it's sold out for 2x MSRP now at Walmart, the point is all of that is true in October. Without Lego having these avail until February (if you can believe the site and I have no reason not to), does anyone really believe $10 will be your profit at Christmas time in 2 months? Quote

That's when I picked up IR. Too bad they didn't carry any REs. Quote

I'm pretty sure most of those JW sets were picked up by BP members during the original sale and their brief reappearance late August. Quote

Kenxxx Posted October 17, 2015 Posted October 17, 2015 The mobile ap said there were some PC's at my local WM, so I thought I would go check it out. Sure enough, they had 4 PC's and 3 DA's. I didn't really want them, but had to take them (I didn't have any before). What if they're the last ones I see in the wild this year? Quote
