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...

Darth_Raichu Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 I finally rid myself of EDB for $100 each on eBay, basically breaking even. However, now I suspect this thing can be $120-135 set by Christmas. C'est la vie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huskers1236 Posted August 17, 2015 Author Share Posted August 17, 2015 Have sold some more used sets from the giant lot I've been going through. Piles don't seem to be getting a whole lot smaller, either. Recently went through Aqua Raiders, Prince of Persia, Space Police, Agents, Mars Mission. You know, the jewels of any collection. Working on City sets right now. The good thing about this taking up all my free selling time is that I've been away from the stockroom wondering what I can sell next and leaving it alone for awhile. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am doing the same now. I sorted all the common parts and now go through the instructions (parts list on last page) one by one. Till now everything looks pretty complete. The most difficult thing for me is to identify the windows, wheels and tires of the vehicles. It is pretty confusing to see which ones you need.

Going through Indiana Jones tires was a pain because they used different tires in different sets and there are little subtle differences in them from set to set.

For things that are 75% built, would you recommend breaking down and clean up the bricks with the rest of the lot, or finding the other 25% of bricks and clean separately as a complete set ?

On a set that is worth, say, $20 on ebay, I give up and dump the parts back in the bins. The figures will get me some value but overall it's not worth it. The the lot I'm currently on, I needed a bunch of parts for Green Grocer and ponied up over $100 to finish the set, but sold it for $775, so it was worth the investment. My biggest issue has been stickers and finding them if needed since most of what I'm working on is from the 2005-2010 era, all 4 number sets save for exclusives. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wash and dry. Sort. Then collect all the pieces per set. Finally build it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaisonline Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Did another quarterly 'cleaning' of sets to free up space. Lots / some of The Swamp Creature, Orc Forge, Batwing Over Gothum City, Bat vs. Ban Tumbler Chase, Spideman SpiderCycle and Malibu Mansion sets. Had a Chima Lion Temple, Wolverine/ Deadpool set, Palpatine's Shuttle, The Gatehouse Raid and King's Castle. It was a win - win for me and the buyer. $3100 shipped. Pics 1 and 2 fit in the same box. All pics taken before packing material and inner cardboard braces were used. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
