pete411 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Went to two 99 Cent Stores today and found the usual suspects - Bart and Bad Cop. I spoke to the manager of one of them and he said some guy in a van swooped 1600 units right off the pallet last night. I wanted to stock up on Dr. Who and BTTF but it's looking no bueno.

Did the manager say what packs were on the pallet? The manager I spoke to said the sets they got yesterday would be put out in the morning. He wasn't too eager to look or get me any boxes from the back early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manager told me that BTTF and Dr Who were part of the mass swooping. I think the same guy has wiped out my area as I'm seeing the new sets now minus BTTF and Who.

Popular Post LegoWalker4 Posted February 1, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted February 1, 2017 My 3 year quest and wait is finally over! After losing out on numerous Ebay auctions (lost one last night with what seems to be in the usual last 5 seconds to a person that never bid on the item all day) and CL listings, I was finally able to buy the 3368 Space Centre I have so desired and I got it for $90 NISB with free shipping. It is the final piece I wanted for my space collection. Good things do come to those who wait... 22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

legodelorean Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Bought 15 Ninjago Level Packs, 6 more Portal 2, 6 Emmett, and 15 Legolas Dimension packs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randrace Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 I bought 18 more Portal 2. I couldn't help myself. It took all my self control to leave 10 on the shelf. This Dimensions blowout is really testing my resolve. I'm telling myself to cool it until I see Doctor Who.Parting these out was fun at first, but is getting overwhelming. Tonight I ditched the boxes before I left the parking lot. Here's my full recycle bin today: 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c_rpg Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 So do you guys get paid 0.99$ for every Simpsons pack you take home or how does this 99 cent thing work? 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hahaha, my friend. I actually think the Homer pack will do well. You can't go wrong for $0.99 for a minifigure and the two mini builds that are included. After this liquidation fizzles out, I think a lot of these sets will be the cheapest way to get a minifigure without having to buy a set.

Don't forget to take into account the huge influx of supply into the secondary market. There's only a limited amount of buyers, and with so many sellers there will be a race to the bottom price wise. Unless your a seasoned bricklink seller and used to parting out sets, people usually give up parting stuff out and just move massive inventory for minimial profit to avoid the hassle. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As low as $3 for some of the Level Packs. Seems like a missed opportunity to at least pull out and list the more valuable pieces. The LOTR torsos and legs are still not widely listed there and on wanted lists for those Bricklinking these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
