Popular Post brickvoyeur Posted December 7, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 7, 2022 (edited) Quote I'll read the Nightmare Before Christmas story this year, kids. Twas the night before Clearance And all through the aisle Steamrollers were packed Into my cart like a pile Exo Suits were hung In the storage with care Knowing that in a decade They still will be there Sergeant Jyn Erso was nestled Deep under my bed With terrible proportions And a face that looks dead Wonder woman in her armor And cheetah in her cap The lasso of truth will tell you That this set is pure crap When out on my doorstep A noise shook me awake ShopJustice still delivering Olaf Flat as a pancake Faster shipping than FedEx The turds as they came I cried and I pouted As I called them by name "Now, Dots! now, Mario! Now Lego Movie 1 and 2! On, Raiders! on, Mighty Dinos! On, Takodana and constractables too! To the depths of the dumpster! Stacked 50 feet tall Now throw away! throw away! throw away all!" Each year I make efforts To donate a bit more But Toys for tots sends a bill For returning them to my door Since I can't give them away I'll dig a big pit It's the final solution To get rid of this sh!t I shook as I laughed At the thought of relieving this pain It was nearly 3am So I looked quite insane As I poured the kerosene I cheered with delight "I'll light you on fire, So you're out of my sight" Edited December 7, 2022 by brickvoyeur 15 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cladner Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 (edited) last night after going out to dinner with my wife we stopped off at target to pick up wrapping paper and some other non-lego junk. as we strolled by the lego section i spy an endcap of 20 or so target minifigure packs - scan at $15. put 6 in cart to wife's dismay. "you already ordered 12 of those yesterday online" "yes honey, but time is of the essence." eyes rolled, nose in air, slight scowl. listed a lot of 6 for $159 bin free shipping before bed, wake up and it has sold. made $38.36 on the flip after fees, taxes, shipping. told her she can take that out of paypal account and that we bought her dad's xmas gift with the flip. point. set. match.

jeff_14 Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 (edited) Just sold another 3 calendars in the space of an hour off Criagslist. They're all gone. I've had more sales from there today than I usually have in a month. And I didn't even change my ads. I got a very lovely email from one mom who had already bought Friends calendars for her girls and then had a very upset little boy without a calendar for himself. Apparently I "saved Christmas". I'm having an Ebenezer Scrooge Christmas morning moment here. So I had held one 2012 Darth Maul Star Wars advent calendar for myself and then I see yesterday on Facebook my cousin posting that she's trying to find this year's Star Wars lego calendar with Darth Vader Santa and the cheapest she can find it is $140 on Amazon. I sat there for a minute having one of those moments where the angel and devil on my shoulder argue for a bit and then I felt my hand move to type that I could sell her mine for $40. While the angel was doing its victory lap, the devil was counting the $20 profit I made. Win-win? Edited December 2, 2014 by jeff_14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which one you are taking about when you say $140? this one? http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B007455XDS/ref=dp_olp_new?ie=UTF8&condition=new or it's way different in Canada?

redcell Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Whoever said sw advent is dead is insane Lego has gotten much better with their production numbers on these. I avoided these based on my experience in past years when there were tons available during post x-mas clearance sales...should have jumped in.

naf Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Terrible set IMO... Don't get it. Maybe people are building gigantic geonosis scenes with multiple spider droids? Who knows, glad I picked up a bunch of these are 50% off though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redcell Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Terrible set IMO... Don't get it. I'm not sure what your definition of terrible is, but any set that more than doubles from my buy-in price in less than one month doesn't even come close for me.
