Smaller puchase but about the only SW prequel set I like : 7251 for $25

Very misleading / contradicting description but seller verified it is sealed. 7251 Vader's Transformation. Slightly pushed in box but sealed. $25 with free shipping. Usually sells sealed between $40-$60 plus shipping. Might also have a chance to increase in value when the new movie rolls around. Not sure why Lego didn't nclude an Emperior in it...

Nice thing about this set is the compact size and not much $ tied up in it.

Anyone buy a bunch of these $5 sets back in 2005/2006? Great ROI with easy and cheap shipping.

Wait a minute, the title says "No box" yet the description states the box is a little crushed or dented? Like you said, that is confusing. Umm, I just bought the one for myself back in the day but, man, had I thought it through.... :money:

I know... Very confusing. Another thing is that I found older auctions with the same picture. All in all the seller confirmed it was sealed and admitted typos. Ebay protects sellers.

Maybe he was watching Sharknado like me last night (accompanied by a aluminum can friends since my wife wouldn't watch it) and just did a shotty job with the title...

So did you buy it? Or did someone else get it first?

 

EDIT: I guess the title implies you bought it though you didn't explicitly say so in your posts. Looks like a cool little set. I wish I was around at the time these were available for 5 bucks.

Does it come with a sound brick to make Vader yell Noooooo!? Heh.

Raises hand. I think I picked up around 70 of them for under $3 each when they were clearanced. One day I'll get around to going through all my old receipts and making blog entries about various sweet deals over the years.

I think it was a nice little find for sure.

That'll be something to read for sure.
