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

Note for young'uns: Alien Conquest was the Galaxy Squad of 2011/2012 I only had $50 in all 3, so I squeaked out at least 100% profit. I did well on the Alien HQs I sold last year too.

Huskers1236 Posted July 15, 2015 Author Posted July 15, 2015 I wonder how everyone is enjoying their GS they picked up on clearance last year? I actually thought Alien Conquest sets were kind of cool, but yeah, they aren't worth the cardboard they come in.Over the last week or so:7888 Tumbler $200Indiana Jones 7622/7195 $707036 Dwarves Mine $707897 parts lot $30 Quote

Thanks. I saw that your 7048 and 7029 are missing the most expensive pieces. Are you still looking to complete them if they do not sell and repost on ebay? Quote
Huskers1236 Posted July 15, 2015 Author Posted July 15, 2015 I bought your dwarves mine. Thanks. I saw that your 7048 and 7029 are missing the most expensive pieces. Are you still looking to complete them if they do not sell and repost on ebay?Cool, thanks. As for the other 2, I was very disappointed to see that those particular pieces were not only missing, but what they cost for replacement. I don't think the tail piece for 7048 was even available in the US last I looked, and the plates for 7029 were too much ($15ea) to invest that amount of money in that set. I'll just keep them if they don't sell soon as they're pretty cool and the kids like them. The other Castle/Kingdoms sets I had did very well and sold quickly. I have a few more small sets from the line to get inventoried at some point as well. Quote

thoroakenfelder Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 An opened 8961 Crystal sweeper for $53. Not bad considering it was thrown in on another deal I was working out and all I had to do was find a handful of pieces and a minifigure. Quote
