sandtherapy Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 I just finished sorting & building a 15 lb lot I got from Goodwill. 4441 Police Dog Van, 4440 Forest Police, 3367 Space Shuttle, 3368 Space Center, 7208 Fire Station, 7287 Police Boat, 7641 City Corner, 7498 Police Station and 12 extra minifigs. Most of the instructions were included and less than a dozen pieces were missing. I paid way more than I normally would for used Lego but it was well worth the $96. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marco1264 Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 I am sorry if this is obvious, but how does one view someone else's Brickfolio? I actually don't know. I checked my settings and my Brickfolio is set to "public". Can anyone of the more experienced Brickpicker help us out with this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marco1264 Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 From my current understanding, I don't think that there is a way to view someone else's Brickfolio. There is a setting to make your Brickfolio public. If no one can view it, then what does that setting do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marco1264 Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Picked up the last 2 Stopwith's at the Lego Store in Orlando, FL. Plus 2 Ghostbusters sets with the 10% off coupon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knarrff Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 I finally got a Robie House. It almost was a disaster though. These are essentially almost gone now, but some B&****** still happen to have them, so two B&****** over an hour away from my place. So I called and reserved them, got some gift cards from cardpool, and even had an 30% off coupon that was almost expired anyway. So, combining this with a family trip I went for chance number one (I actually wanted to score both, as they happened to be close together). Both B&Ns warned be beforehand that the box condition isn't mint, but that can mean anything. Well, in the first store it meant "almost destroyed". After asking for a discount because of that I got the store manager dealing with it, which turned out not to be good. He wouldn't even offer 10%. Oh well I thought, with 30% and 19%, that's still a decent price. But then I started to read the small print on the coupon. You can imagine where this went. There was no way I could get the 30% off coupon working for this set. Since I didn't have any other coupon, and I had chance too still open, I respectfully declined. It would have been maybe $155 - good, but not great for a box in that shape. Chance two was totally different. Box condition was not mint either, but much better. After asking for a discount and a call to the manager I easily got 10% off. Or say, I would have, if they would allow that to stack with the 30% off coupon - which apparently here they didn't. But they accepted the 30% off coupon without any problem whatsoever. So, in the end I got my Robie House, for about $111 out of the door. I would have liked the other too to sell it and offset the cost of the first even more, but I am still happy I got one for that price. And I found a Rockefeller Center. I didn't have a coupon, but with member discount and GC that's still ok, for $33. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cladner Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 went to west hartford lego store to buy a: Maersk ship, GE, T1, SC, HH, or DS. They were out of all of these. Ended up getting 6 Ecto1s which were all the ecto's they had left. 4 weeks ago there were like 150 in a large display. now there were 6 left on a small shelf near the modulars. Had to get managers permission to sell 6 to me. off vip of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using BrickpickerIdk I would lean towards he doesn't know the full value, he's actually very nice and the listing had a bunch of pictures and a decent description. He also had a slave 1 in the same condition for $50 plus shipping and a UCS at-st for $80 plus shipping. But man I'm still extremely excited about it since that's my best score yet haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
