Alpinemaps Posted December 23, 2015 Posted December 23, 2015 Not strictly Lego, but finally got the keys to my new Lego storage facility, or as the wife likes to call it, our new house. Finally can move everything out of my office, been getting funny looks at the lack of floor space in it. We will start house shopping next year. Is it sad that one of my requirements is adequate LEGO storage? That's why I posted my complaint last week about not getting a job I really wanted - I was looking forward to upgrading my house to include a LEGO room. Quote

terrymc4677 Posted December 23, 2015 Posted December 23, 2015 I like that! Can I borrow that? I did the "Shopko Stack" 27 times and picked up 54 Rey's Speeders at 49% off. Neat little set. One of a kind vehicle used by a major character that most likely won't be included in any other sets in the foreseeable future, and Rey's headpiece is unique to this set (for now). Seeing as I have these stacked up on my poker table, I guess I am "all in" on this little guy. At 49% off I'm willing to take that gamble. I'll list them locally at retail to move a few here and there. The rest will take awhile to sell but I'm ok with that. Once gone I don't see why this set wouldn't sell for $25-$30 each. There are only 53 pictured because I sold one to the Pastor at my church for cost. He is a huge Star Wars and Lego fan, so I'm always hooking him up when I find good deals. Were you able to use the same shopko $10 off $50 coupon on each buy in? The coupon was on my phone, so yes. I attached a picture of it. It's good through tomorrow. You need to have a rewards account but it's free to sign up for one. I tried to use a different cashier every time but it wasn't always possible. I received a few funny looks but for the most part they didn't care. I obtained them all from nine different stores over three days. Quote

darkhorseoflego Posted December 23, 2015 Posted December 23, 2015 (edited) Got an ATAT last night, and a brick bounty for click and collect which I got someone to get for me this morning. When they brought it back I've never seen such a messed up Lego box. Surprised they were even allowed to sell it as a normal box (it had a discount, but not because of the damage. Several hole, with a massive hole on the back of the box, a seal broken, sticker damage. C'mon smyths, up your game! Don't really know what to do with it. There's none left in stock so not sure whether to take it back of what? Edited December 23, 2015 by stephen_rockefeller no foul language on the boards Quote

HandyHand Posted December 24, 2015 Posted December 24, 2015 6 hours ago, Ciglione said: How many did you buy? I bought just one. @Brenner on the other hand got three of them. I find it a bit odd, to find it sitting there at the web-shop, while this set wasn't even released in Europe! How did it get to be sold here, even if there were just 6 boxes for sale ? On the one hand this set is extremely rare, with just a 2 month official availability in the US, no official availability in Europe, and obviously very low production numbers. On the other hand the reason TLG cancelled the Ultra Agents series must have been because of lousy demand, especially in Europe. So I wonder how much demand there will be in the future for this particular set... Should be demand from true collectors who love to have very rare sets. But from other collectors? Quote
