KShine Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 In the end, I rarely regret any LEGO sets that I buy, but I often regret not buying enough. 6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But my point is that losers at 50% off are far and few. Really. Not saying they don't exist. Just that they are only the 1% if I was to guess.

I'll have fifteen cents once I sell my last Betrayal at Cloud City. And If I had a nickel for every "sure thing" set that turned out to be a dud after retirement, I could buy a couple hamburgers for lunch today. LEGO investing is like a box of chocolates. Cloud City hit BF price of $170...current Ebay solds are at: between $500-$700 not sure what you're getting at Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was written off by many as an expensive, unoriginal, turd set. Due to that sentiment alone, I bought a few; expecting little hoarding, but satisfactory demand post retirement. And it has polished quite nicely. Then again, a decade ago, folks were concerned the Delorean was overly hoarded. It was constantly discounted, and I too had bought into the theory that it wouldn't make any money because of the numbers people had supposedly stockpiled. Moral of the story, don't expect to find the answers on what to invest in on the internet. Do your own research, be willing to take some risks, and diversify.

HandyHand Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Bought one 10278 Creator Expert Police Station for €149,99 instead of €179,99. For my own collection. Pretty rare to see these sets with more than 30 Euro discount, anywhere in my available stores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redghostx Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Few recent interesting buys (US prices). Used Brick Bank, CIB, for $230. I don't need another one, but I like money.Used Coaster for 35% off retail. Used 4195 in minty mint condition incl.box/inst/poster, $155.76139 Batmobile, 20% off at Lego store. This must be new because I have only received points for damaged box exclusives.Deals are hard to find in Canada and the border can't open up soon enough, because there's Lego to be bought Yay LEGO! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpinemaps Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Mini Disney Castle while on the way home from a travel ice hockey game in Pasadena (home of the Rose Parade). We got a tie today, and my boy got assists on two of the four goals. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StLBrian Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Has anyone had experience returning sets to Lego that they indicate are 'not eligible for self return' (i.e. greater than $200)? From what I can tell, they are returnable but you have to call customer service. Do they give you any trouble? Should I be concerned about a ban? In short, I purchased the Hogwarts Castle yesterday thinking the dorms were a no-go in the US (a Brickfanatics post indicated they had been removed from the US store calendar). So I purchased it again today to get the dorms. My plan is to return the first one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exciter1 Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 Thanks for the tip in the DD. Picked up these at Walgreens for $19 total. My other local store didn’t have anything left. 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
