StarPod Posted June 30, 2013 Posted June 30, 2013 The more I think about it the more this thing looks as a scam.... I fell victim of my emotions as I have been wanting the set for a while. We'll see... Why does it matter. You're always covered by eBay and PayPal. Beauty of it. You can meet lose Quote
Fcbarcelona101 Posted June 30, 2013 Posted June 30, 2013 I personally don't lose but in the end someone pays for it. Anyway, I will reserve judgement until I see what happens. Quote
DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted June 30, 2013 Posted June 30, 2013 Yeah thats weird. Surely he would check prices. Who doesn't before they list something like that. The DS seems on par price wise. Quote
Fcbarcelona101 Posted June 30, 2013 Posted June 30, 2013 He did answer my email about protecting the package and gave some extra details. We'll see in the next few days. Quote
comicblast Posted June 30, 2013 Posted June 30, 2013 He did answer my email about protecting the package and gave some extra details. We'll see in the next few days. For your sake, I hope this one works out! Quote
Diabolos80 Posted June 30, 2013 Posted June 30, 2013 That Death Star doesn't look 90% complete... Shouldn't there be twice that many bags? Quote
Fcbarcelona101 Posted July 2, 2013 Posted July 2, 2013 Seller marked as shipped with tracking and sent me a message too. Here's hoping Quote
Diabolos80 Posted July 2, 2013 Posted July 2, 2013 I didn't notice anything about the listing that would suggest it's not legit. In fact, i kind of regret not grabbing it for myself... But at the time i was thinking i already have enough Lego on my plate, and nothing's changed since then. I hope it works out, Barca. Quote
Fcbarcelona101 Posted July 2, 2013 Posted July 2, 2013 Thanks Diabolos. I will be posting here again once and if I get it to see if anyone can help me out determine if it has all the bags. Quote
DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted July 2, 2013 Posted July 2, 2013 Looking good. Just hopefully you don't get the Death Star 2 equivalent of a Star Destroyer Quote
spener90 Posted July 2, 2013 Posted July 2, 2013 I'm sure somebody here in the forums will help out lol I'll help build it???? Quote
LowestFormOfWit Posted July 2, 2013 Posted July 2, 2013 I'm going to say it was worth the risk, if it consoles your buyer's remorse any. Quote
Fcbarcelona101 Posted July 2, 2013 Posted July 2, 2013 Not so much remorse as impatience now lol Quote
Guest eightbrick Posted July 2, 2013 Posted July 2, 2013 Well, hopefully it comes through. Congrats, FC if it does turn out to be legit. That's a great score. And good job for Diabolos for giving the community a heads-up. Quote
nolanfan34 Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 Man, both that pic and the Death Star one look like too few bags. Also strange the way the picture is taken with the instructions covering the pile. I hope you got a good deal, and didn't get taken. Quote
Fcbarcelona101 Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 I found a very good picture of one new set opened with all the plastic bags laid out, so as soon as I get it I will compare both. At least the manual seems to be in good condition and assuming it is complete I could recover some of the money by selling it. But honestly, eBay should have my back on this one. The guy did not require signature on delivery so he has that against him as well. Quote
nolanfan34 Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 Yeah, sure you are covered. Fun to sweat at least. Quote
DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 I can't imagine you would have trouble. Ebay requires you say its incomplete. If not, they will refund the money. Quote
Ambroise Posted July 3, 2013 Posted July 3, 2013 I found a very good picture of one new set opened with all the plastic bags laid out, so as soon as I get it I will compare both. You may also try to weight it. Your errorbar will be one bag, not one piece. Quote
Fcbarcelona101 Posted July 6, 2013 Posted July 6, 2013 Got it today. 100% Complete, sealed bags and mint instructions. 1 Quote
DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted July 6, 2013 Posted July 6, 2013 Wow. I'm pretty mad you sniped that as I was about to grab it. Lol. Awesome find. My next $280 went into some clearance sets, so it will probably even out. Glad everything is there. Even not buying it that would have killed me if it was incomplete. Quote
Maverick2k1 Posted July 6, 2013 Posted July 6, 2013 Congrats on the find. I myself am envious of you as its a set I've always wanted but couldn't afford those secondary prices. Quote
Fcbarcelona101 Posted July 6, 2013 Posted July 6, 2013 Congrats on the find. I myself am envious of you as its a set I've always wanted but couldn't afford those secondary prices. Same here. Now that I got it so cheap is hard to resist the urge to sell though. Quote
Maverick2k1 Posted July 6, 2013 Posted July 6, 2013 Same here. Now that I got it so cheap is hard to resist the urge to sell though. Don't resist that urge and sell to me for a small profit ;-) Quote
Diabolos80 Posted July 6, 2013 Posted July 6, 2013 I can't believe it was 100%, that's awesome. Buy a box off bricklink and presto, $1100 set easily. Well done Barca! 1 Quote
