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...

I just tried it, and someone bought one... Any tips or warnings? I wouldn't recommend it. Risk for ban hammer is high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Helmet Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Not only that LEGO has required verification checks if sending to a new address. That and with their slow shipping you might not make Amazon's delivery window and hurt your metrics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazon don't care as much as long as the customer gets the correct item on time and as described . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get banned easy from Amazon for missing your shipping times. i would be more worried about an Amazon ban then a LEGO ban. There are lots of ways to get Lego but only one Amazon.

TheGallows Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Picked up a battered imperial hotel last week for £65, put it on last night just sold for £96. Regretted buying it after and kept thinking no one would buy it. Glad to be rid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REDUCE523 Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Sold 75104 for 90 bucks on lego after fees and shipping made maybe 10 bucks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sprocket77 Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Arcric Batman vs Mr Freeze for €35 cash. Only one more to get rid of, be glad to see the back of them. Now if I could only get rid of the Ironman sets too. Lesson learned from my first few months buying, avoid small super hero sets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Val-E Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 (edited) Super Heroes stuff is probably the weakest official license line since Lone Ranger here now and the smaller the set, the worse it gets. A lot of us foolishly invested in these on the back of recommendations from the US but that won´t be happening again. The Tumbler´s post retirement performance shows that even the most sought after sets from the line are no more than average investments as they are very hard to move at a premium price.

justapilgrim Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 I still think superhero is set to set. Take ant man again. Hank Pym and yellow jacket likely to never be remade. Batman, spiderman, iron man all 100% likely to be remade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are already judging the Tumbler's retirement performance? C'mon now... Feel free to pick on the Asylum, but as for the Tumbler, it hasn't yet begun to fight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not retired yet and selling like hot cakes on Amazon for $320+ in the USA. Most bought in for ~ $150. I'd call that a success. Give it a year and it will be an easy 100-150% ROI. Surprisingly (well not really) the dogs this time around are Star Wars (10188 and 10240) exclusives. The gravitational waves produced when these two are swallowed by their fast approaching remakes is going to be intense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
