All sites pale in comparison to Gumtree. Home of the d*khead.

Im not looking to sell a current set. This one is long retired.

makes our 15% look a wee bit sad lol.

I saw the GG buildables marked down at Kmart $29(?), but didnt seem to be much of a discount.

I picked some Jango's and Cody's they seem to be doing alright on feebay, so if these are due for retirement soon.......

[Furious_george]

$29? That's awesome. I've never seen them under $40. Saying that I did nab 2 GG for $50 from target when they had BOGOF. Had a min buy of $200 or so but the website glitched and let me buy it anyway. 

I have them all built and in my opinion, GG is by far the best.

I don't usually buy buildables, it was the price that sold me on these two.

Hey guys, anyone buy bulk Lego? I know its ridiculous to ask but is there a standard price per kg I should be looking at. Obviously if I know what sets are in there or if theres a thousand SW minifigs price per kg doesnt matter quite so much but yeah, does anyone have any suggestions?

If its Gumtree and just looks to be random bits, I offer $20 per kilo. If I see a good set hiding in there I'll go up a bit.

Big w will have the gb firehouse and helicarrier on sale 16/6. Big w gift cards 8% off at cash rewards.

Great - thanks. All these bulk loads of LEGO for 50$/kg on ebay were throwing me.

I hate it though when people dont give a weight. Makes it hard. I was looking at a bulk lot that someone described as a third of a cubic metre. Not sure what to do with that!

Great. I dont know about anyone else but I NEVER see any of these large sets at my Big W's. Ever.

[Furious_george]

Yep me either. Might be worth getting in before the sale and sticking what your after on laybuy.

[whoisbiggles]

 have seen helicarriers and death stars at big w a couple of times this year.

i will be aiming to layby one GB firehouse as soon as it comes it, and then pay it off when they are having a 20% sale.

This will be for my collection - not resale (unless I can get a huge gain and a local sale :-) )

[Furious_george]

Interesting idea...

how long can you laybuy something for?

 

 

[whoisbiggles]

For this upcoming sale - until christmas
