What Lego set did you buy today?


Recommended Posts

My TGT had quite a bit of Elves at 30-50% off.  I know nothing about that theme.  41180 Ragana's Castle was down to $49.  Remaining Elves sets 41179 and 41175 were 30% off.

75828 Ghostbusters Movie Ecto was on shelf for $41.

75916 Dilophosaurus was 30% off.

Call me crazy for leaving all of those behind, but I walked away with 4 Friends polybags at 50% off.

It's not today but I'm picking up the Tower bridge set from a seller in my area for $160 new sealed in box I'm debating if I should go for the quick profit of returning it to Walmart for a quick $80 gain to reinvest or hold onto it emoji848.png

Am I reading this correctly? The seller bought it at Walmart?

You joined two days ago and maybe you are trying to set a record for being banned, while actually posting content.

The action you are proposing is immoral and probably unethical and shouldn't be openly discussed.

Additionally, you don't actually have the set yet so don't assume that you will buy it. First with cash in hand tends to win the item.

Welcome, it was nice knowing you? ;)

How it that illegal or immoral? They purchased the item from Walmart and no longer had a want for the item, so they offered to me the set which I accepted at a price of $160. It isn't illegal or immoral because I talked to the customer service rep at my local Walmart and they said that was fine. The stipulation is that the money is placed onto a Walmart gift card. Walmart is still getting my business I'm just making a profit off of another person's time constraints. She doesn't want to deal with the busy lines at Walmart and that's her decision. So don't tell me I'm immoral for making a good business decision. I'm providing her with what she wants and Walmart with what it wants money. I'm just making a profit while doing it which acts as compensation for the time and gas I will have spent to make this deal.

Yes she bought it at Walmart for they're son for Christmas and he changed his mind about wanting it. This person runs there own business so they don't have the time to wait in the long lines to return it post Christmas shopping. So she agreed to my offer of $160 knowing her purchase price. It's no different buying from her at a low price and selling it to another consumer than it is to return it to the store she originally purchased it at.

Oh, it's different if you have a receipt because I'm sure that person had one to give to you :)

Yeah I have to meet her at her business because she is so busy. I just can't decide if this is a keep or sell set because I'm a new lego investor with only $120 in sealed sets. My income is limited so dropping $160 on a set is a lot to me especially if it has slow returns due to it being available for 5 years. If I return it and make an $80 profit I can then take that money to reinvest or pad myself for the hit.

I love the set and would keep it for myself but I just bought the USC slave one for my personal collection for $150 new in box but I couldn't help myself and busted it out as an early Christmas present
