Not very well unless you can buy at -40% or more. I only buy Star Wars to invest and buy CITY/Friends for presents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whoisbiggles Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Yep I got SW ones for $30 @ big w last year. Seems like the SW ones are a one drop.Just my opinion but I don't see much value in the city and friends calendars 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurnitb Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Hey guys, BigW is selling the porsche tecnic (42056) $398 for those who are interested or missed out on the target one. https://www.bigw.com.au/sales/c/2/?q=%3Anew%3Avendor%3ABIG+W%3AmanufacturerName%3ALEGO&text=# 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furious_george Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 (edited) Well spotted. Charging small delivery fee but it's still waaaaaay better than $500 from LEGO. Cant see a flip opportunity here on EBay. Listings recently filled up with Targets last offer.

If so then it won't be that far off from the old version with the addition of a few cheese slopes and updated minifigs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whoisbiggles Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Target having a bit of a sale, the price of 75911 mclaren pit stop $29, and a couple of the first wave speed champion cars for $10, are tempting discounts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whoisbiggles Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Strange eBay tale:Last night I receive an email asking if I would accept $150 for a set (3181) which I had listed for $170.Sure no problem I send the buyer an email with an offer to sell for $150.This morning he has paid $170.PayPal has cleared no dramas, he has 100% positive feedback from a wide variety of sellers for high value sets. So I'm confident not a scam.But he hasn't contacted me about overpaying. So I'm not sure if I'm missing something.Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Package arrived within 2 days, no damage, pretty impressed with them. Is there anything worth getting from LEGO Shop at Home for double VIP? I really want the London bus freebie but struggling to find anything that can't be found for 20% off somewhere else. Gazza, welcome back buddy! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furious_george Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Yes that's the dilemma. Any set you see on there now will eventually turn up here discounted, and make you wonder why you bothered with LEGO LEGO Shop at Home. Even double VIP is only 10% off really and the bus is about to pull into eBay. The race to the bottom will not be far from then so if you only want the bus, hang on a bit and you will get one for 10 bucks I reckon.

Ted Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 probably getting something that is close to retirement but that is anyone's guess as it is highly irregular... Getting anything new will always run the risk of it appearing in the store and then on a discount eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To say they'll be ten bucks is pessimistic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furious_george Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 I'm not selling any and I'd like one so I'd say I'm optimistic. Maybe too much so but we will see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furious_george Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Quick note for those who haven't tried it. hydrogen peroxide 3% works AMAZING on white pieces. My old Snowspeeder looks brand new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
