Other fees may apply. List by 5 July 2018. I got that one as well in my email, good timing as I have a bunch of listings finishing in 2 days time. Managed to pick up 2 Taj Mahals, one to keep/build and one to part out on Bricklink. Can't see this being a good long term hoarder. Quote
Alucard1982 Posted July 2, 2018 Posted July 2, 2018 What’s the T&Cs? I love these promos, so other people can undercut us who have to pay for fees Quote

kurnitb Posted July 2, 2018 Posted July 2, 2018 Oh man, I've missed out on the $250 Taj Mahal, LOL. Quote
jomandybri Posted July 3, 2018 Posted July 3, 2018 Is this a new thing? I don't recall seeing it before. Quote
whoisbiggles Posted July 3, 2018 Posted July 3, 2018 I haven't seen it before, something to keep an eye out for. Quote
whoisbiggles Posted July 3, 2018 Posted July 3, 2018 I haven't seen it before, something to keep an eye out for. This one may also be a concern to quick flippers of popular products: Basically the 30 top selling Lego products - the buyer clicks on the red ticket to go to the lowest priced item available. Top Products: Building Toys Best Price Guarantee If you find it cheaper elsewhere, we'll beat it. Look out for the Best Price Guarantee logo for eligible products. *Terms and conditions apply | Learn more Quote
Alucard1982 Posted July 3, 2018 Posted July 3, 2018 Trying hard to compete with Amazon by the looks of it. There are a heap of LEGO lines, so I would be more concerned if it was 600 Quote
whoisbiggles Posted July 18, 2018 Posted July 18, 2018 Has anyone had experience selling at the Toy and Hobby Fairs run by "Australia's Premier Collectables Show"? Thinking of getting a stall at the next one in Brisbane in November. But only have experience as a buyer at these shows. Any tips or pitfalls to watch out for would be appreciated. Quote
Alucard1982 Posted July 18, 2018 Posted July 18, 2018 Do a cost break even analysis before signing up. I’m guessing it would be $$$$$$$$$ to get a stall regardless of the size. 1 Quote
whoisbiggles Posted July 18, 2018 Posted July 18, 2018 Yep the cost of a stall with a standard table (waiting to find out the size) is $45, and have to stay the whole day. Seems straightforward, I don't want to overlook something obvious. Quote
Alucard1982 Posted July 18, 2018 Posted July 18, 2018 Should be fine, look into if they get a cut. What would you be selling? Quote
whoisbiggles Posted July 18, 2018 Posted July 18, 2018 Larger BNIB sets - Scooby Mansion, Palace Cinema, Deep Sea Exploration Vessel type sets. 1st wave speed champions cars. 80's and 90's used sets. Polybags Hotwheels, 2014 - 2015 SW Black series, Buck Rogers Starfighters large and small, etc Quote
Ted Posted July 18, 2018 Posted July 18, 2018 As a comparison I seen prices that to set up a table is $20 to $30 a table at a local toy fair which only goes for half a day. So your $45 a table for a whole day is roughly on the mark? A standard table seems to be like 1.8m long by 0.9m.Ted 1 Quote
Ted Posted July 22, 2018 Posted July 22, 2018 The end of Toys R Us in Australia draws near as it approach the closing hours...the end of an era.Ted Quote
whoisbiggles Posted July 23, 2018 Posted July 23, 2018 Popped into the TRU at Aspley (QLD) on the weekend. Lego was discounted by 35% off RRP - still quite a lot of Lego City, Elves, Friends, Brickheadz, CMF's, Ninjago, Creator and SH on the shelve. The discount is bringing the prices down to Big W / Kmart levels. I purchased the last 21035 Guggenheim $65 and 70612 Green Mech Dragon $59. Quote

whoisbiggles Posted July 23, 2018 Posted July 23, 2018 about 20 - 30 of the smaller sets: Pteranodon Chase Carnotaurus Gyrosphere Escape Velociraptor Chase T. Rex Transport Didn't see any Lockwood Estate sets Quote
Alucard1982 Posted July 23, 2018 Posted July 23, 2018 Most of thoss sets can be picked up 40% easy Quote
whoisbiggles Posted July 23, 2018 Posted July 23, 2018 Haven't seen the latest JW movie and the sets seem to be a wee bit overpriced. Quote
ED-209 Posted July 23, 2018 Posted July 23, 2018 Last JW world film was pretty much a one drop scenario. This time it looks like Lego pulled their finger out and allocated significantly more stock, and probably over-produced. Not too good for resellers. 1 Quote
Alucard1982 Posted July 23, 2018 Posted July 23, 2018 Still one drop as far as I’m aware. It was the same this early in the last wave also. I think their attention will be diverted to HP, with JW fading away Quote
