10230 Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Today I only bought 2 of 10 Elsa sets at a local target - as Christmas presents. I don't see an opportunity to flip them now on eBay, and Craislist is not what it could be around here. So, to be on-topic: I didn't buy 8 Elsa sets today, although I know they were in the back.

Guest TabbyBoy Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 I suspect this is one where you have to stay on the page continuously hitting F5 They can shove it now, I'm done wasting my time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue leader Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 (edited) A damaged box MF. I have limited funds (mostly limited by the wife who may or may not murder me for starting this investment hobby) and have a few other sets I'd like to get that I see better long term upside in. It was a struggle though.... Edited December 19, 2014 by blue leader Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yellowtot Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 A weird one today, so I was randomly shopping in Manchester nipped into the Lego store and I swear to god they had about 40 Kingdom's Jousts out on the shelves in like 3 different locations, including a display of one. Lego must of just shipped all excess stock to the Manchester store but even though it's retired I just don't have faith in the set at full retail, so just bought a load of key rings and got my free Christmas Train set.

CNH1974 Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 The Watford store said they have about 30 out in the back. They could not sell them at RRP and we're not allowed to discount them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TabbyBoy Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 My 10x 10235 WVM from John Lewis arrived this morning in individual plastic bags where 3 boxes were squashed and 4 were slightly dented rendering them worthless to fussy UK buyers. I'm taking the lot back tonight. Very disappointed as this is how Argos send stuff out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ciglione Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Found a 10227 UCS B-WIng for 150 euro in a remote toyshop today. The box was quite dinged so I left it there. Mistake!?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaisonline Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 I passed up on this set at a Walmart today. Was full retail :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redghostx Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 I passed up on this set at a Walmart today. Was full retail Half price at TRU Canada but I don't know what MSRP is here and even at half price, I haven't bought any for my collection. Ex Astris, Scientia.

Guest TabbyBoy Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Was this a click and collect service or delivered to your door? Delivered. I'd have rejected on the spot if click/collect. Glad they've gone back as I did order in haste. They'll be half price instore in June last last year maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpinemaps Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Found the new Darkseid, Brainiac, Toy Store and Grocery, Batman & UniKitty, and TIE Advanced sets. All at RRP. Going to pass on all of those until there's a discount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpinemaps Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Continuing my luck finding X-Wings, I found a 9493 at TRU today, but it's marked $80. I can't find anywhere that has it lower that TRU will PM. So I left it there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waddamon Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Passed up 2 HH, Th, R2 at the bricks and minifgs shop. All were priced at current values and I just couldn't do it. They would have been dollar cost avetaged into the other positions, but still would have been a chunk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terrymc4677 Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Someone tell me helicopter rescue still isn't great at $40 Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Brickpicker mobile app These were available for $30 from shop at home last summer, so passing at $40 is understandable. I bought six, and have only sold one as part of a bundle. Hospital sets tend to do well once officially retired and unavailable. This set is still seen in the wild here and there, so I'm hoping they increase in value by next Christmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cladner Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 (edited) Someone tell me helicopter rescue still isn't great at $40 Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Brickpicker mobile app its not great at 40. its was available for $30 on sale at shop at home last spring for days before selling out. i bought a bunch then - its a slow mover -was a mistake. you can thank me later. i think most people don't even realize its a hospital because of its stupid name "helicopter rescue". at least the boxes i have are minty fresh. seems like this is one of the most frequently destroyed boxes i encounter in walmart.

ravenb99 Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Continuing my luck finding X-Wings, I found a 9493 at TRU today, but it's marked $80. I can't find anywhere that has it lower that TRU will PM. So I left it there. Had the same thing happen to me. I found one of those and a MF. Had them pm the MF to WM 139.97 but like you said couldn't find anything to do the xwing and refused to pay $80 after buying a ton from 40-54. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
