Popular Post brickvoyeur Posted December 7, 2022 Popular Post 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
canonikon Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 I sold my last one about 4 months ago on eBay for $360 shipped. I was glad to get rid of it too. I was greedy and thought it was going to go higher after the initial pop that topped out at about $500. Didn't know that prices would go down also...only thought Lego would just go up and up as it gets more rare and rare.... Quote
lazuli16 Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 Didn't know that prices would go down also...only thought Lego would just go up and up as it gets more rare and rare.... The laws of supply and demand apply to Lego as well. 2 Quote

ISO8T0 Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 Didn't know that prices would go down also...only thought Lego would just go up and up as it gets more rare and rare.... You will also find sellers on eBay who want to sell their items and are willing to have small profits or just break even to clear out inventory. Not so good for your ROI, but it usually doesn't take long to weed them out. Patience is key. Quote
sroster Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 Didn't know that prices would go down also...only thought Lego would just go up and up as it gets more rare and rare.... In this case after the limited edition crawler along came 9398 another nice technic 4x4. So in many people's eyes why spend $500 on the retired crawler when you can get one off the shelves for much less. Definitely something to factor in when you sell and what you buy a lot of, potential for remakes. Quote
binici Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 Looks like people are starting to pay top $$$ for the Robie House - 21010. Sold one of three for $350 on eBay. 4 Quote

The 41999 is a limited edition fan design of 9398. 9398 came first, hence the now "non-standard" technic number. This is a case where 41999 was driven too high by speculation and panic. 1 Quote

weakside Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 Seapotato, nice sale. I wanted to buy the Cosmic Escape just for the Loki minifig (and nice truck) for my son but $100 was too expensive I sold all my CE sets for $75ish way back when...finding it hard to pay more for what I sold it for haha. Turns out my son was happy enough with the Loki keychain. Do you have anymore CE? Quote
seapotato Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 No, I just had the one from the bulk lot I bought last year! I've been selling a few of my superhero sets lately at decent prices :) Quote
newbie77 Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 Jor-el poly 10 Loki's cosmic cube 100 wow! is this some other cosmic cube or its #6867 ? Quote
zskid00 Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 wow! is this some other cosmic cube or its #6867 ? Yeah, I was wondering the same thing when I saw that price. You can barely get $40 for this set in the U.S. on eBay. Quote
minicoopers11 Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 Fire up the "Bubble" thread! No, please. Lol. The item corrected to a STILL very profitable level. Quote

fuzzy_bricks Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 That is really good news. This could be a $250 set by Halloween I hope you're right, but it looks like that buyer had to step over multiple listings below $200. Quote
exciter1 Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 I hope you're right, but it looks like that buyer had to step over multiple listings below $200. I think demand might be up, since the Haunted House is skyrocketing the way it is. Vampyre Castle will be a good option for those who can't afford the big daddy. Quote
seapotato Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 (edited) Yeah, I was wondering the same thing when I saw that price. You can barely get $40 for this set in the U.S. on eBay.Yea that's the one 6967. Things are a bit different on amazon.ca. Of course after fees it isn't nearly $100 lol.
