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...

Dr. Brick Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 I'm just starting to sell my 75021. They are selling at $225 including shipping and I got them for about $55. I sell one or two a day and have 30 left to go. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Line-up have that sort of potential? Tydirium Shuttle? Recent retirees ISD and AT-AT seem to be moving out the gate early nicely, but with Rogue one sets coming out who knows if that growth slows down (assuming remakes) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaisonline Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 For those who don't have every # memorized, 75021 is a Republic Gunship. 75038 is the Jedi Interceptor. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Val-E Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 In Europe, sales have picked up a little (from 0) so there maybe there is a new hope. Doing well to reach 250 euros, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Val-E Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 US market seems to be buoyant if peeps are able to sell Unimogs, Bugles and AA´s for well above RRP. Congratulations. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I have 15 or so and may go 25 deep. I'll store it next to my 10212's that are almost 'ripe' Edited April 10, 2016 by Dr. Brick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll store it next to my 10212's that are almost 'ripe' I was thinking about that the other day, too. Last year, the only thing that saved the Xmas flipping was TFA and the fact that AT AT and ISD retired somewhat early (and easy supply dried up before Xmas) and that 75105 also ran out. Even so, some flippers still couldn´t unload all their AT AT´s or Mos Eisleys and are still at it now. 2 years ago, we got retirement of 7965 and 9493 and my feeling is there were less fippers. This year, the only 2 iconic OT playsets are 75105 (unlikely to retire but may go OOS) and Tydirium, which could well retire and will be the other main focus of the horde. A lot of people got poor results from Kylo Ren´s ship, even at 50% or more off RRP so I fear that the market will be saturated with Tydiriums this year. If some other large playsets are released, the horde will divide its purchasing but, if not, I see this one taking a similar path to Santa´s Workshop as it is isn´t anything like as popular as the Falcon or X Wing. If the flippers can´t move their stock, the knock-on effect is for longer term investors as appreciation is slow and the next remake approaches. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
