Villager Chris Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Likely a return, but I bought a 41176 Secret Marketplace direct from Amazon (£49) this morning. Even pre-owned ones sell for £70 do hopefully a profit, even if box is not great. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TabbyBoy Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 A solitary 21306 Yellow Submarine just popped up on Amazon Prime UK for £43.99 while I was looking for something else so I ordered it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was able to snag 3 more the other day for $57 a piece. I could have gotten them cheaper back in November from TRU, but I didn’t have the funds at the time. I did however use a $100 ebay gift card towards the purchase, so only $71 came out of my pocket. These are really starting to dry up and I’m trying to get my last few before they really go up in price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legodelorean Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 I bought a very lonely and beat to hell 21125 Minecraft The Jungle Tree House for $34.37 from Target. I was able to get the price knocked down a bit because the box was beat up. They gave me an extra 10% off of the clearance price. I don’t usually buy Minecraft sets, but since this is sold out everywhere I figured I’d give it a shot. I could have gotten a Batman Killed Croc set as well but didn’t want to risk holding it forever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southendsox Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Guys, I'm new at investing in legos and looking for some advice. I am trying to buy the 2016 SDCC Brickheadz and have a lead on a full set but am told they are not numbered (out of 1500) but are marked Sample and was told they were given to Lego employees who could not attend SDCC? I have never heard of Sample sets. Can you provide any insight? Would these have the same investment potential or would they be more or less desirable by collectors? Thank you.

Poison Girl Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 My guess is that the same hesitation you feel about them, other collectors would feel as well thus decreasing their resale value. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of 10% off, the system will automatically take an additional 30% off the last marked price. Used this method on some crushed / damaged Dr. Strange sets yesterday, knocking them down to $10.46 each. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for confirming my doubts! I'm passing on these SAMPLES and will continue to look for actual numbered sets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpaulson7 Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Didn't buy any Lego, but bought a hiking backpack on Amazon. It was delivered in this box, which is an added bonus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rog Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 149 series 17 Minifigs at £1.50 each from Tesco. Crap price compared to most places so it's going to be a slow burn but out of my 3 locals it's all I could get ? Poor woman at the till had to unbox 30 of them from individual security boxes as whoever did the clearance stickering couldn't be bothered. Also would like to know how much time was wasted stickering 150 individual items, and now I have to peel all the damn things off! Also got a couple of PS4 and an XBONE Dimensions starters for £20 each, left the 360 and PS3 versions at £18. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayPratt Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I bought The little mermaid set, 41145 for £19 and the Cinderella set 41146 for £28 both from Tesco. Great for my 2 daughters if they don’t shift Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villager Chris Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Ordered direct from Amazon last week (not 3rd party) and received today. Paid £49.99 I wonder how Amazon ended up with this stock! Box is acceptable (apart from sticker), so all good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I nearly always go direct rather than to reseller scum ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know where they come in from. For all we know, Amazon is an outlet for excess retailer stock. We just need to find out how we can interrupt that process so that we can also be the middleman. I'be seen a lot if LEGO come up in auctions, but it's always job lots of new parts and baseplates, never full sets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazon in Germany - like I assume everywhere else - stores their own stock together with FBA stock in some warehouses and you never know what you get... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
