What Lego set did you buy today?

Look at eBay sold prices. If you can buy it for less than that , go for it.  Closer you are to that price tho, the less profit your looking at and longer the hold.  

That's actually quite handy.

I'm using other methods to estimate what I should pay, but that's a definite "litmus test" for sure.

Picked up some sets to build down the road.  

Couldn't wait to build the chess set so that is done.  My 7 yr son and wife taught me how to play 2 weeks ago.

  • New latest logo chess set. Just wish the board was larger.  The set is awesome though.  We will use it a couple of times with SW minifigs :)
  • New temple of airjitzu ($150)
  • free disco / tears Batman
  • black widow key chain for my daughter that put a nice hole in the ninjago box.
  • Simpsons Kwik-E mart
  • Used w/ box Potter Diagon Alley. $245

Temple of Airjitzu is a nice price for a nice looking set.

I was out of town today at the vet for Lily's monthly allergy shot and decided to stop at a Target in Northborough , Ma. I found 2x 41175 Elves Fire Dragon's Lava Cave for $19.98 ea and also 3x 41179 Queen Dragon's Rescue which rang as "item not found". The toy manager ended up selling them to me for $34.98 ea. He said they were marked as salvage. All 5 were in pretty mint boxes. From what I've read here on the Elves, the Dragon's are no brainers at 50% off.

Nice. Who do I need to off for a reasonably priced Diagon Alley. That's my dream set.

Just got back from the Lego store where I bought the 75158 Rebel Combat Frigate for $63.59 after redeeming $50 in VIP points.  I really like the Ahsoka minifigure!  It is for investment.  

I also bought the Palace Cinema my wife wanted along with the Captain America and Joker BrickHeadz my kids wanted.  My wife is on board with our Lego investments and bought the Buckingham Place for herself too about two weeks ago!

The best part is I still came out with 300 VIP points thank to 2x points!  The City helicopter polybag was a bonus.

From what I heard, Dragons seem to be pretty sure-fire investments, and 50% off is a good starting point for profit :). Just a few warnings on these two sets:

1) Neither of them are currently sold out or retired from LEGO Shop at Home. The real gem in the line is 41178 The Dragon Sanctuary which retired after only 4 months and never saw broad distribution at retail. So you might need to wait a while before these sets start increasing in value (potentially another year).

2) Speaking of retirements, out of the two Dragon waves (March 16 and August 16), the following sets have retired: 41171 Emily Jones, 41173 School of Dragons, 41174 Starlight Inn, 41176 Secret Marketplace, 41177 Precious Crystal Mine and 41178 Dragon Sanctuary. 41172 Water Dragon, 41175 Fire Dragon, 41179 Queen Dragon and 41180 Shadow Castle are still available at LEGO Shop at Home and in stores. Given the surprise post-retirement increase of some of the other sets these last remaining ones are going to be pretty hoarded, so they are less likely to increase in value (or at least not as rapidly) as the others.

2) Target did sell 41179 for $22 in some locations - I've got 3 at that price :) You'll be competing with some at those buyins.

Yeah, this is my biggest fear with the remaining 3 dragons.  But people still don't like the Dragon Queen, since she's been in the low $50s across all platforms and on WM shelves and still isn't moving.  But with the $12.XX Amazon price for a while, the Water Dragon might be pretty hoarded by this point.  I'm not buying any more.

On topic, I grabbed 50 Series 16 CMF from FB Marketplace for $75.  Only 1 complete set, but only need a total of 6 to fill out the other two.  Look for my future post trying to trade CMF :)

Well I don't know about the rest of you but when there is no good clearance or sales or anything really going on I get an itch to buy stuff. All I have left is 2013 SDCC stuff. I only buy the marvel stuff from each year. Some more in the mail over the next few days!

I hate that those two, along with Captain Marvel/Shazam are SDCC exclusives.  I want a black suit Spidey and Shazam really bad.

I was digging around CL, Let Go and Offer Up looking for new LEGO sets.  I had not purchased any used bricks (except minis) since I started back in December '16.  

A guy had a couple pics with used bricks piled up, but something caught my eye that looked Star Wars ish.  Most bricks were black, dark and light gray and no neon colored (not looking for Friends/Elves and such).  I bought them a few days ago, but ran through the process of completely breaking down what they had, sorted for color and began washing them.  They did not have any boxes or manuals, so goes the challenge of identifying what I had actually bought:

From my research (learning how to identify), it seems I have these sets going for me so far:

Batman I:
7785 Arkham Asylum (all six minis)

Monster Fighters:
9468 Vampyre Castle (all 7 minis)
9461 The Swamp Creature (both minis)
9463 The Werewolf (both minis)

Alien Conquest:
7050 Alien Defender
7051 Tripod Invader
7052 UFO Abduction

Lone Ranger:
79107 Comanche Camp
79108 Stagecoach Escape
79110 Silver Mine Shootout
30260 Lone Ranger's Pump Car poly
30261 Tonto's Campfire poly

City: Space Port
3368 Space Center

Minis:
Battle Damaged Darth Vader with broken helmet/neck piece and normal helmet (maybe 7672 Rogue Shadow, but do not have the other 2 minis)
Crazy Scientist (Series 4 mini)
Punk Rocker (Series 4 mini)

I still have many left to try and figure out.  I know some Chima, Ninjago, Minecraft and City still blended together.  It was about 18lbs of bricks and a bag with about 65 minis.  Will update with results in a few days as I start combing through the parts lists for the above to confirm completion rates.
