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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whoisbiggles Posted July 3, 2018 Share 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.

Alucard1982 Posted July 3, 2018 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whoisbiggles Posted July 18, 2018 Share 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.

Alucard1982 Posted July 18, 2018 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whoisbiggles Posted July 18, 2018 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alucard1982 Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Should be fine, look into if they get a cut. What would you be selling? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ted Posted July 18, 2018 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whoisbiggles Posted July 23, 2018 Share 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.

ED-209 Posted July 23, 2018 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alucard1982 Posted July 23, 2018 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
