But if I could find these at a discount in November, I would take a look at the cost of shipping a pallet of them to sell here. Just wondering where he envisions these being sold so cheaply, so I can look into it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean what your after is someone to source stuff at great discounts for you, so you can ship over to the US to sell there ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somewhat. If Will can divulge where he expects to find these this Christmas at prices better than the current 50% off, I would assume it would be possible to order from that company. That's why I asked where. It would then be as simple as contacting that company and ordering a number of them to be shipped. Shipping to the USA isn't that expensive, especially shipping a set with these dimensions and weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
botchy123 Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Sounds great, and then you can tell us where we can buy pallets of stock in the US at great discounts and we can buy them all and send them to the UK to sell. Everyones a winner baby ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loghamel Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Not sure what you're getting at. We share deals on this site all the time. Otherwise, it would just be a bunch of, "Hey, I bought this set for 80% off today. Got loads of them. But don't ask where or how because I'm not telling." What are you looking for and I can tell you where to find it and then you can do the legwork to see if you can get pallets of them shipped to the UK. If he has a place that he can get a set at greater than 50% off in 8 months when the current price here in the states is already greater than RRP, I'd like to know where he's getting them. If it's a secret and he doesn't want to divulge, other than being a bit silly posting about it when the likelihood that someone might inquire about it being high, that's his prerogative. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pseudoty Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 I agree with @Loghamel I think the first set I did this with was Mars Rover from that Mom and Pop toy store in Canada someone posted on here a few years back. Many tried with MBS. We all know some sets do better EOL in the US like Lincoln Memorial so while these sit on shelves below MSRP in the EU and are currently going for over 2X MSRP why not load up. Same goes for the other way we will be glad to send you our TB if you think it will do well in the U.K. I do this all the time with BL, Amazon UK, France, Italy, Spain and so on. I don't think anyone wants you to give up your honey hole but if we can help each other out why not. I watched Arrival last night so maybe that is affecting my thought process. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok you send me the details for where you can order pallets of a certain set that will be 50% off in 8 months and if i know of one i will send you them. But i'll tell you now i dont know of one, because they don't exist. And if they did exist who would tell anyone, they would just use it themselves because they would have a big advantage. Seriously if you had a supplier like that would you tell your competitors ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop being so horrible to our cross-Atlantic buddies mate, they obviously don't ever get any great quick-flipping deals over there. You can understand their desperation to vacuum up any sniff of a deal over here at its inception (not that there probably is actually one). Sorry, not sorry, for the sarcasm.

Val-E Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Realistically, the best you can hope for these sets is maybe 65-75% off direct discount. Shops have already cleared older Nexo stuff here and the Friends camp is now hard to find below RRP. I have no idea how many SAH must have for it still to be in stock there despite 2xVIP but that will probably end with the April promos on the very first day.

It was an exageration reflecting how lowly I viewed said sets however I would always advise people to keep a good eye out for deals as I can assure you 50% is definitely not the best I have seen for those sets for recently however that said I do expect to still see some lurking around the Christmas period around a certain group of stores who are often open to negotiations to free up shelf space for non Turds. But seriously that shipping how would that workout with taxes and logistical costs? Also what makes you think they will climb that dramatically to RRP?

As we mentioned before, the King's Mech is already selling for more than RRP on amazon fba right now because this set was/is a walmart exclusive in the united states. It sold out on shop at home at 20% off and is pretty much gone from retail. If it were to be 50% off, you would be triple your buy-in at 1.5x RRP. It is already 1.25xRRP here and it is not even retired yet. My prediction is 2xRRP if it retired before christmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, at least in my neck of the woods, the only time I really saw King's Mech anywhere is when it showed up in the clearance section at one of my WMs. Never saw it on the regular shelf (but that could just have been a case of me selectively looking past it). Doesn't get more "hidden" than that in my book. So this is a clear case of the US being totally different than the EU. A bit like Birds' early take-off in Europe, with prolonged availability in the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot belive a mediocre set like that is doing so well. LEGO Shop at Home is even undercuting L***p on price to the UK just when my wallet was safe.
