Managed to get 2 of each. Anyone else manage to get any? Argos? I don't think these MMs will be a wise investment due to potentially poor box condition and the high chance of them being returns which may have been opened. Are you sure that you'll make anything after a buy-in of RRP or are you not selling these? I bought my MMs at Asda for £20 and I grudge paying any more than that even if they do become available again. But that's just me ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot tun the clock back either so I am very pleased at £90 buy-in for the three sets (1 to keep, three to sell in due course). Assuming the boxes are fine, can you show me a better Lego buy this week without travelling? JW sets are performing very well at the moment.

FM Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 (edited) 1 hour ago, TigerEyez said: When I buy bulk lots of assembled or semi-assembled sets I break them down, inventory, re-build, photograph, and then I break them down into bags numbered based on the instructions (like when new) {this is a PITA I wouldn't recommend the numbered bags}. I also replace any missing pieces of course. It really comes down to your desire and your available time. Here are my usual options: * Often when I get a bulk lot its in pieces, so I wash, sort, inventory, order parts, assemble, photograph and list. And don't forget to order instructions - They're relatively inexpensive and you'll attract a LOT more buyers. Depending on the set I'll leave it up to the buyer if they want it disassembled and color sorted, and I'll mention that in the listing. I don't mind spending an hour to break down a $400 set that I bought for <$100. * If a set 'looks' 100% complete and is clean I'll go through the instructions and see if it looks like its all there, check the minifigs and list it '~98% complete' for a 5-10% discount vs. a 100% complete set. This is purely to manage my time investment. On a $100 set, is it worth 4+ hours to make $10? And I love building huge sets, but I just listed my 4th 6211 in 4 months:P (buy-in $10+15 in parts, list for $170) so I'd rather spend time building a set I haven't done before. Although I really like building the MTT:) (buy-ins $20-60, sold for $165-185) And right now I'm backed up with 30+ $100 sets to process. * When I'm backed up I'll list the sets on Bricklink before building. Buyers there respect the word "inventoried" and don't have to see a completed picture to hit the buy button. Last set I sold there in parts was 7783 The Batcave - Penguin and Mr. Freeze Invasion. Buy-in $25, sold for $325. ...Oh yeah, since this is the What Did You Buy forum, my latest project is breaking down a 10188 Death Star (all 3697 parts and 24 minifigs) from a 110+ lb lot on Craigslist. This I will list as '100% complete, color-sorted parts' for a month, then build if it does not sell. Buy-in ~$30 + $10 in parts, will list for $280.

How much is on the price tag? Just curious what the PPP ratio was back in the day. It looks like you took great care with your sets as well. That box is pristine for it's age. Nice find!

It looks like you took great care with your sets as well. That box is pristine for it's age. Nice find! I took immaculate care of my stuff when I was kid. From Lego boxes, to Nintendo boxes, to really anything I wanted it pristine and mint. I remember having the people at Electronics Boutique bring all the boxes for a game out and letting me choose the best box. Thank God something appreciated as my Star Trek collection, baseball cards and beanie babies are worthless. Again, apologize if off topic but found another box of stuff. PPP was unbelievably high. Some boxes are 7.47 for 50 total pieces. Forgot how expensive lego was back then. And Legos NEVER went on sale either. I had to mow a lot of lawns to buy this stuff. Random note: Finally hit 100 posts. Should have had the Barracuda been my 100th. Edited March 16, 2017 by Rimmit 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
