Deadfraggle Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Used the eBay code with 2 minutes left to score 2 X Ideas Dr. Who 21304 sets for $84 out the door. 35% off if I count the tax savings, 30% off straight retail otherwise. I don't have any yet, so I can't complain. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angrily shaking my fist seems to be about the right level of response. Had to content myself with a couple Kmart Mystery Machines for $24 each with Mystery Shop Your Way Rebate of either $20 or $30 in SYW rewards. (It was showing $20, but also that a $10 bonus reward would apply). Bought with discounted gift cards, of course. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UnXpectedError Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Just bought a slave 1 with the TRU 20% off and also got a ninjago flyer. Box was good other than the small marks from the straps they always put on them. Hopefully that doesn't hurt resale to much... They have another one that has a small crease on the front not sure if I should scoop it up.. What do you guys think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I believe any normal retailer (TRU, BN, LEGO, Target, Wal*Mart) goes out of their way to ensure a well packaged item, but I cannot recall the last large box ($80 MSRP or greater) that I received from any of those retailers that did not show up with some damage. Part of that is carelessness of the retailer. The other part is it is very hard to package a set of UCS size and weight sufficiently that it can withstand whatever shipping abuse is handed out and arrive at the buyer in "Mint" condition. I would almost rather start with sets with some minimal shelfwear or damage simply because I can clearly disclose that and feed out the persnickety buyers in search of perfection. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I received from TRU a few days ago a 10240 X-Wing that was bent and creased in one end like it was flung across the warehouse. Little padding in the box except for a bit of padding but it was shoved all the way to one corner. Anyone who has been to a TRU today seen that 20% off discount on Technic sets?

The End User will not care. Flame on. For what it's worth, I buy retired sets all the time for more than RRP. I'm your target buyer here. You know what trumps a minty, mint box? A good sales price. If I am searching eBay for set "X" that retailed for $199, and see twenty listings at $350 with stock photos /pictures of "perfect"'boxes and one listing at $340 with a crease, guess which one I'm buying? Even better would be a dented box for $325! Why, because I'm already paying way over retail for the set to build, not to admire the pristine packaging. This isn't an action figure or a funko pop that I plan to leave in the box. Obviously I don't want a box that's beat all to crap, but for the right discount, I'm in. I buy damaged box exclusives for personal build all the time. Think about how quick the AWD get snapped up for good sets. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cladner Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 (edited) another 4 Sandcralwers ordered 2 per order came in sealed cases from walmart site-to-store minty. ecto1s from walmart site-to-store also minty shape. last Pet shop from target- large shipping sticker slapped on the front, shipped naked (not inside another box) and of course the box is damaged with seals popped (probably because the delivery dude set down the 2 boxes of kwik-e-marts on top). target is neck and neck competing with walmart for first place in "most incompetent shipping".

Zelgazra Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Grabbed a SoH and a S1 from Lego Store Oakridge today, both Damaged Box from their backroom. Double points plus 1500 bonus points between the two. Works out to about a "23% discount" on the SoH. Been wanting one of these since I started investing last year but could never justify the price to piece ratio. This brings it more in line for sure. Now I just need to find a giant footprint of display surface before I commit to building the sucker...! Not sure if I'll build this Slave 1 or keep it as investment as I only have 1 other so far... seals had popped, contents verified by store manager (spoke with him myself), resealed with packing tape.... not sure how these do on the aftermarket in this condition. If selling, would folks still recommend opening it back up and personally verifying bags, or take the store manager's word and list with said statement ("Contents verified by Lego Store manager and re-sealed.")?

Exactly and if someone uses the world "mint" anyone in the description I move on. Why in the world people think that matters is beyond me. Also I have bought boxes sealed from stores like target or walmart that have minifigs gone or fake contents inside.. con artists are practiced in buying things with cash..stealing from the box and sealing it back up. I have also bought video games with olds dvds in them that appeared sealed. What's my point here? Well if something has been sealed in your garage or backroom for 2 years what are my assurances a scam artist didn't empty out the box and reseal It 2 1/2 years ago???? I always try to buy listing on ebay that are open box with sealed bags so the contents have been verified. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete411 Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 (edited) Got my "acceptable" condition PS from AWD today. I have to thank the inventory guy at the warehouse because short of the slight gash on the bottom right corner, it's in great shape and still sealed. Not bad for $106 shipped =) Edited March 12, 2016 by pete411 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
