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...

thoroakenfelder Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 I sold 2 75049 for $54.99 each free shipping. I lost confidence in this set when they showed pics of the Assault on Hoth. I think people are going to turn against Hoth stuff in a short amount of time between the new set on shelves and the UCS AOH. I made a few dollars at least on it. Thankfully I sold a few earlier for more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zskid00 Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 (edited) I don't think the $250 UCS with only one Snowspeeder in it is going to keep prices of the 75049 down. That's one heck of an expensive alternative. Edited March 2, 2016 by zskid00 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's one heck of an expensive alternative. Actually, to me it's more of the same. They just retired the snowspeeder, announced a set with a snowspeeder in it. It's fatigue more than alternatives. I don't foresee this set jumping out and saying "BUY ME!" to people. The Snowspeeder appears in many other sets that look pretty much the same. According to the price guide, the earliest ones are about the same price that I sold mine for. Hoth fatigue is setting in. Unless Rogue One throws an AT-AT and an AT-ST at us, we're unlikely to see the Snowspeeder bring a big return. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's selling on Amazon at better than 2x retail (FBA), and it was easy to get a buy in much lower than retail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegooch49 Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 I sold 5 x Shark Suit CMF on eBay for $10 each. Not a huge money maker since my buy in was retail, but the same person bought all 5. So it's a huge help. They sat for weeks with no action, I'm glad I got a bite on these. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since you dare to post that one ... I'll post the one I was too shy to post earlier: Sold 4x Nexo Knight intro pack for $16 on Ebay ... made me around $11 total after fees and shipping as buy-in was $0. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am i missing something here? yes you are missing the last leg of the uptick. i believe 70014 croc swamp hideout was one of those sets that was under-produced and had very good bricks to part out. so part-a-outers practically ate this one hence there is pretty good appreciation. vs other chima sets 70008(6). winners on this theme are rare and its one of those.

I've got a couple left, probably time to get the last of the inventory out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
