You may even get a free replacement and even be told to keep the original if it's really not fit for resale. At the worst, you'll get to keep any promo get extra VIP points if you ask nicely. Don't accept anything less than straight-off-the-line condition. I moan constantly and have not been banned.......... yet. LEGO need resellers as they may lose most of their sales without us!

FM Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 (edited) 90+ minifigs for $40 on offerup thanks to my wife, down from a $75 ask. The seller said he found them dumpster diving. All are in VG-EX condition. Includes Clone Commander Wollfe and all the figs from 7964 which pays for the lot. Any other gems? (And sorry this is what did you buy, not what "set" did you buy - For that mark me down for 2 60th's in store, 1 from Saturn and 1 from Arch Studio for $111.99 + a few clearance 60170 Build My City Expansion Packs to meet the threshhold.)

Cheese Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Most I was ever offered was 500 additional vip points on a Sandcrawler which already was discounted by 10% during promo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was happy with 200 points on a £70 spend I simply told them in a nice way to not drop their standards as people will go elsewhere and I was cheeky and asked for the promo. To be honest, I don't buy much from SaH now. If I do get a 75192 MF, it will be from John Lewis so that I can pick up a mint box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villager Chris Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 (edited) Creator 31050 Corner Deli direct from Amazon. Sent in Amazon bag, was damaged, so I sent it straight back.

On the flip side i got a mint condition Queen Dragons Rescue from Amazon yesterday. Always a gamble. I picked up a few of the Fxxk's from Tesco too along with a few other different sets at 50%. Also left quite a few half price star wars turds behind too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to leave three FKKs behind, due to box condition. They were terrible. Spoke to cs in store and asked about a reduction, to the response “we don’t reduce lego, the boxes get ripped into and thrown out anyway”. No wonder so much is damaged there with that attitude! If I was into the whole parting out thing I’d have had them, but I’m not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"On the flip side i got a mint condition Queen Dragons Rescue from Amazon yesterday. Always a gamble." Nice one - right click right time. I think this will be fine even with a battered box. The retired Elves sets are appearing less and less. Not seen a Water Dragon for several days now. I'm still waiting for Amazon to dispatch a Millennium Falcon that I ordered on the 23rd Jan. 'Expected by 31st January' they tell me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please keep us in the loop with your build on these, I reckon that is going to be one big boat! And let us know if you manage to find some pdf instructions rather than keep freezing the youtube vid! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
