What Lego set did you buy today?


Recommended Posts

Uhhh, yea. I spent waaaay too much. Here's what I got:

32 series 12

5x brick box

5x master builder level 3

2x kings castle

5x rescue reinforcements

5x Minecraft the end

Too many smoking deals for me. The timing was perfect. Some personal builds mixed in with some qffl, mixed in with some short term holds till Christmas. I'm out for a bit. :)

I bought 3 more Reindeer sets for $5.98. I bought 4 last Friday for $7.98 marked down from $9.99 and they were marked down even more when I went to the Lego store today. Stoked!!

If they have the Snowman that would be a good one too.  It seems harder than the Reindeer though from what I have seen

Was at Toys R Us and made a spontaneous decision to buy a set of Series 4 Mixels @4.99 each. Is it foolish to expect a decent return (thinking more longer term) on these guys at that price?

Long term you are fine but these go on sale all the time and all the other sellers will.ha e a lower buy in

Oh my gosh! He's not doing this correctly! Pray tell, impart your superior wisdom on this poor soul before he delves farther into the dark side!

oh no! i didn't mean to be pedantic. looks like i ruffled some feathers

 

based on his own representation of investing for "long term" before the official release date seems pretty hasty to me :) but of course depends on how many sets is being planned to be hoarded :P

if planning for 1000sets then sooner to start, getting hand into 334 boxes of mixels might be tough,,,,,

If you get them wet and feed them after midnight, you might get the results you want.

Did not mean to spark a tiff with my Mixels post.  I was just wandering the Lego aisles at Toys R Us, looking for anything interesting, when I saw a box of Series 12 minifigs with a guy intently smooshing away.  This guy smooshed for about 10-15 minutes while I wandered the aisles and wondered which fellow Brickpicker this person might be.  When he finished, I wandered over to the Series 12 box and he had left just two figures.

 

But beside the Series 12 box was a full box of Series 4 mixels.  Now I am completely new to Mixel investing and have not done proper due diligence.  Just on a whim I bought a full set at $4.99 each.

 

So here are my questions:

 

a) It was mentioned that these funny looking fellas go on sale fairly often.  Which retailers typically offer those sales?  I'm in San Antonio so my options are typically Target, Walmart, HEB, and the local B&M lego store.

 

B) What kind of return can we expect from Series 4?  Series 1 has done well, with sets seeming to sell around the $100 point on ebay.  But now that we are in Series 4 and the trade is getting more crowded, what can we expect complete sets of Series 4 to sell at EOL?  If it's $75, okay that's still a nice margin.  $65, i dunno, getting kind of slim unless you acquire the set on sale.

A good place to start is with the blog entry that I wrote back in November on Mixels.

 

I've got a set of Series 4 Mixels for myself, because the kids and I like them.  They don't technically hit shelves until February 1.

 

For investment purposes, it's too early.  These will do well after EOL.  Series 4 is, IMO, the best yet.  There are some great builds and some great parts.  However, it's a hold for a long while.

 

As for sales - Series 3 saw great discounts at Meijer, but otherwise, you're best bet is either TRU CC 10% off, or coupon stacking at TRU with the CC.

Here is my haul today from Meijer.

If you have one in your area I suggest you get to it fast.

 

Of course in the haste to get to the 2nd Meijer to clean it out I was going so fast an Olivia' House fell in front of my cart and I  cut a full wheel line all the way through the middle of the box sort of like a Transformer being cut in half. :)  I'll make sure it has all bags and sell it as an open box.

 

I should go to the other two Meijer's as a lot of it is not marked but want to spend the rest of the day at home.

 

Very happy.  Plan to quick flip most of this stuff.

 

1 - 60051 Passenger Train at 56.26

18 - 41005 Heartlake High at 19.87 each

4 - 3315 Olivia's House at 28.12 each

3 - 41015 Dolphin Cruiser at 26.54 each

3 - 75018 Jek 14 at 27.75 each

3 - 70725 Nindroid Mech Dragon at 30.00 each

2 - 60550 Train Station at 24.37 each

1 - 75019 AT TE at 33.74

Awesome haul. I can see why you would be running. I want to start a petition to bring a meijer to Maryland.
