CNH1974 Posted September 12, 2013 Author Share Posted September 12, 2013 Ok, 2nd Camper received. I bought one 853373 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff_14 Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Got another free VW van and clone trooper by buying the new Jango Fett and Darth Maul sets, plus 3 of the Halloween 3 figure sets (zombie, witch, and ghost) and one of the 3 figure surfer sets in store. The 3 figure sets were all 25% off, and I was very pleasantly surprised to see they even had any Halloween sets. Naturally I took them all.

DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 I think I am on my 7th VW and 5th Clone trooper. Not having trouble at all flipping them on Ebay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hepcatpunk Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Made my 2nd purchase of the month at SAH just now. Went w/ Dragon Mountain (it has bonus VIP points plus my daughter loves dragons so that's covered), 2 Halloween accessory sets, and a fall scene...right around 78-79 bucks. Now I can finally open that first VW poly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNH1974 Posted September 16, 2013 Author Share Posted September 16, 2013 VW number 2 arrived today. Now to buy number 3. I am thinking of buying a Delorean & a 21102 Minecraft after belately reading DNIIM's blog today. Is this a good idea? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff_14 Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Got another 5 of the 3 figure Halloween set (zombie, witch, ghost) for $12 each at the Lego Store today, half of what the current market value is. Also got a few series 10 figures to earn a VW polybag. Now here's the kicker. When I spent $75 at 2 different lego stores earlier this month ($50 of which was for Star Wars lego), I got the clone lieutenant and the camper. When I tried to do the same thing at this lego store, I was told I could only get the camper. I said that I had got both at 2 different stores and they said that that was contrary to "policy" and that they would call those stores. Eeeep. Should have kept my mouth shut.

brickinfinite Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I bought two #10214 Tower Bridge separately for two mini campers. Also, I ordered one #21101 Hayabusa and one #21102 Minecraft for another mini camper. Debating if I want to ****** up some Star Wars Clone Trooper Lieutenants.

stoltzjl77 Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 My first 2 VW poly bags sold within 24 hrs of when I listed them on Amazon - cleared ~$23 after fees and shipping for the pair. Not bad at all. The clone trooper poly hasn't sold yet, may need to drop the price a bit. . .anyway, can't beat free for reselling so I'm still looking to get both on my orders. The cycle for the CC I use for LEGO Shop at Home purchases reset over the weekend so I was ready to get in some more orders and they are: Order #3: Starhopper, 3x 30242, Dragon Mtn (to get extra 50 VIP points) - nets both polys (clone trooper and VW van) Order #4: 2x Halloween accessory, 3x 30242 Republic frigate polys, 5x AT-ST & Endor planets (I think these will double in value at Christmas time) - total before tax was just under $76 to net both polys Order #5: Another starhopper and another 9494, get both polys Order #6: 2x halloween set, 5x each of the Friends Series 3 animals on sale, only got the VW poly on this one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNH1974 Posted September 23, 2013 Author Share Posted September 23, 2013 I am wondering if i should keep one. Do people think it will appreciate? It will depend if lego decides to reissue it at any time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinP Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 I am wondering if i should keep one. Do people think it will appreciate? It will depend if lego decides to reissue it at any time. What usually happens is that TLG decides to sell the polybag about six months after the promo has ended. I think it will appreciate if the is not a reissue.

I think it will appreciate if the is not a reissue. I have never seen this happen. The store near me sometimes has a lot of leftovers and they have never sold any of them. They definitely can't sell the single Star Wars minifigure polybags as that violates their licensing agreement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On polybag 30213, the UK eBay price immediately dropped by 40%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I mean is that some of the promos become actually polybags sold at LEGO Shop at Home. I saw this with the 30242 poly bag. It was a promo earlier in the year, now it is being sold at LEGO Shop at Home. There are many other examples if this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mos_Eisley Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Gotcha, I thought you were saying you can go in after the promotion and just buy the polybags from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 I am surprised people have had trouble only getting one polybag on the web. I have placed 9 orders this month with no issues. Hope I don't piss TLG off. I have never bought anywhere close to this amount as well.

I have never seen something like that happen. Sometimes at my local Lego store they give away older polybags to replace a newer one that they have run out of.

It was a promo earlier in the year, now it is being sold at LEGO Shop at Home. There are many other examples if this. I just don't see this as being a possibility for this polybag on a large scale at all. It's just too popular for them to have so many left over. Sure a few stores might have them left and do different things with including sell them or sub them for another promo polybag that they run out of but I figure this is the polybag promo that they are substituting other polybags for because they ran out of the Camper.
