Dhcgy Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Hi all, So I was going to buy this set but every location is selling it for full retail @ 169.99. Being in Canada, very rare do I find good deals, or clearance items, not enough supply for collectors. However, Amazon.ca is selling the set for 123.11. Thinking about buying a couple. What are your thoughts on the investment potential? Thx :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comicblast Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Welcome to BrickPicker. The Helms Deep set is expected to do very well upon retirement. Though you are in Canada and good deals are harder to come by than in the US, it will be a very solid investment in the future, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ph4tb0i Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 If you really can't buy from the USA, then yes it's a good deal. But if you ever plan to do a short term sell you will get undercut by a lot of people.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dhcgy Posted June 27, 2013 Author Share Posted June 27, 2013 Yeah its a good price for here, plus free shipping. With the limited supply here, resale here is extremely good. Time to pull the trigger, ordering 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ph4tb0i Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Remember: resale is only good if your price is competitive enough (i.e. you have the lowest price in the market) to entice people to buy from a secondary source instead of buying from TRU, which most parents will do. At 123.11 + tax, you make it ridiculously easy for people who import from the US of A to undercut you. Not that I'm trying to instill doubt to eliminate my competition though Of course if you're looking at it from a long term investment point of view it shouldn't really make much of a difference.

Dhcgy Posted June 27, 2013 Author Share Posted June 27, 2013 Competition I'm finding ordering sets from the US, it has been hit and miss with crazy shipping costs. I have found some amazing deals on Bricklink though. 40 to 50 dollars shipping kinda kills any profit margin. I think I'm addicted lately with buying legos, spent 700 already this week, lol.

Guest eightbrick Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Is Amazon fair game for price matching at TRU or Target? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comicblast Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Is Amazon fair game for price matching at TRU or Target? Assuming that your store clerk knows about the price check policy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ph4tb0i Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 I'm assuming you mean Amazon.ca, in which case yes, they "should" match it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dhcgy Posted June 27, 2013 Author Share Posted June 27, 2013 Yep, amazon.ca, i'll check on the price matching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
