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...

maestro Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 Sold another VW Camper Van for €100 ($118). In person so no fees which I guess is good. Put an Ecto-1 21108 up for sale on an adverts site, it's amazing how many watchers so soon for that set. Only bought 3 back in the day and this is the last one. I'm guessing in Ireland these smaller less expensive sets are easier to move.

I own only 1 of these, wish it was more. Probably keeping for my own collection but will probably never build . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now whether to build or sell . . . my rule of thumb is to hold on to your last modulars for future personal build (unless can replace w/ used)...I think in every LEGO fan's bucket list is their own LEGO city...modular's appreciation curve is steep...will be rough if you ever change your mind about "finally" building that city one day 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also bought new one of Parisian Restaurant, Detectives Office & Palace Cinema. Quite a bit away I think. Nice dream though 2 minutes ago, Lordoflego said: .....or, once you built that city and realize how much it’s worth now....you’ll kick yourself for opening and not reselling. To each their own...or something like that. A valid angle. There are many sets I only bought one of and I don't know whether to sell or keep. And if I keep I won't build because they're worth too much now . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maestro Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 So I thought I was doing well selling a Pet Shop. Had to post it to another EU country - cost me €62/$73 and that was without signature. So after holding for over 5 years I made about €24 profit. Wow post charges really have gone crazy.

Gonkalin Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 You need to build your sets before they retire. Otherwise you feel like it’s costing you the new box price just to build it. I bought ninjago docks last January for $325 now it’s nearly $800 and it’s hard to build. I’ve built the other 2 ninjago city sets so I want to add it to my collection. Luckily, I have 2 of the city docks (I found one hiding in my basement after I paid up fir the one in Jan). So maybe someday I’ll justify the build. But yeah, build before a set retires otherwise it’s too hard to crack the seals. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just parted with my personal used one today after a customer desperately wanted it - everything has a price lol. One of those sets I wish I'd brought 3x as many of but hey, live and learn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure I can break the seals on all 3 now, not to mention a dozen other would-be keepers. 😥 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
