CNH1974 Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Hello folks, I have been on holiday for he last ten days so I have lost track of what's been going on. I see the Mini VW buying is in full swing. So what are people buying? I remember posting a list with my ideas, but I cannot remember what they were or where I posted it! Doh!! Are the Winter sets for sale as yet? They had RRPs of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alfiepops Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 I picked up the large VW to get the mini. Yep same here. I'm trying to decide if I should get another one before the offer is over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jawascrump Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 I went for 5x #850487 and a gold minifigures key chain. I really like the Halloween set, I have built up quite a stock of these! Will probably duplicate this order several times over the month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jawascrump Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 It's a great little set, with some nice minifigures. I think any set with a Zombie in will do very well EOL ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 I have ordered about every new Star wars set. Get over 50 then add the Halloween set until I hit 75. Then part out the star wars sets. Working well so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNH1974 Posted September 8, 2013 Author Share Posted September 8, 2013 Hmmm large VW to get the mini VW seems to be popular, might do this myself Have you all been getting multiple VW minis for multiple orders? I have seen some posts where people say they have only gotone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emazers Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 I will have 25 Volkswagen Campers and I have 25 Mini Ones, will sell them as a Combo Ebay auction down the road, Some guy sold me 10 Mini campers for $50. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinP Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 I bought a 10240 Red Five X-wing Starfighter to get the mini VW. I had to use my Lego gift card on something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grolim Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 How much is the mini VW worth? (Can't look up Ebay at work unfortunately) Shouldn't you just consider the value as a discount off the order? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I think there are selling for less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pickleboy Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 I like the one train station 7937 one mine craft order. I got the Mindstorms Ev3 My star wars order is two hoth sets. 75014 I chose this set b/c I THINK it is exclusive to TRU and they (TRU) have it priced 20 bucks over retail. I don't see TRU dropping the price much more than the retail of 49.99. I'll have to hold these longer than I would like but they aren't that big and they are holding their price on ebay. (I'll prolly be stuck with these for like 2 years...which means they typically get given as gifts to the nephews.) You could even do one of these sets and the the frigate poly bag. Just make sure you spend 75 to get free shipping and the other poly bag too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have picked up at least one of every star wars set the last couple years and I plan on skipping this set completely. I could be wrong though.

They certainly don't seem all that interesting. They are holding their price better than most other things for sale on the website. (Without parting sets out.) I didn't want to splurge on the ewok village yet. If they are duds...I'll just give them to the nephews and write them off as gifts I have to buy at some point anyways.

(Can't look up Ebay at work unfortunately) Shouldn't you just consider the value as a discount off the order? I have sold 2 for $17 a piece (free shipping) so I made about $14 each after fees and everything. I think the hoth set is going to be a big bust. Nothing really new and no interesting figures. I have picked up at least one of every star wars set the last couple years and I plan on skipping this set completely. I could be wrong though. It will be. Only people who will want it are people like me who want every star wars set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seapotato Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 I went for Rancor Pit ( $74.99) so I could get the mini VW as well as the clone trooper (after I had to point out that I would get both if I purchased online). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgoldham Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 I've done a couple different orders of the new Minecrafts as well as the Star Wars Advent Calendars and another R2D2. I've got 6 different orders on the way. I think 3 also include the storm trooper polybag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
