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

Here in the U.S. without a single holiday season going by its sitting at 40$ usd on amazon. I expected it to do much better in Europe. I went through a phase of disappointment with the performance of CITY sets but, the Camper Van caught my eye and I bought 10 at a good price and decided to hold for a year. I have a similar feeling again with the 60073 Service Truck (with "Turdis" on trailer) and recently bought 5 on Amazon at >50% off. I always buy LEGO for family/friends' kids and worst case it's a cheap present that they'll enjoy. It's much harder in the UK as we don't get the bargains that are often seen in the US. The main reason why I'm buying small(ish) CITY sets when they are cheap as I have access to free vitrtually unlimited boxes that fit them perfectly making postage a doddle ;-) Oh, just sold 76004 (Spider Cycle) for £27.99 and 76006 (Iron Man Extremis) for £22.99 - both double money.

Ma-gic Posted June 20, 2016 Posted June 20, 2016 This is probably being frowned upon here. I flipped a 10253 Big Ben with €50 profit, get a free 40221 and VIP points. Honestly I'm just listing not expecting any interest but am pleasantly surprised. 6 Quote

My ambition is to be a big honcho like you guys Just to be clear, nobody has never said quick flipping is bad though we will toss a TRU parking lot / hotcake comment or two in for good measure. 50 euro isn't shabby for taking a chance. It's the people who attempt the quick flip, fall on their ass in failure and then return stacks of them to the retailer with their tail between their legs claiming "oh well, it's my right to return them." 2 Quote

No problem, it was a tongue in cheek comments from me. I enjoyed this forum very much. I don't mind the ribbing. Agreed with the second comment. But hey there's a different thread for that and has been discussed to death. 1 Quote

jaisonline Posted June 23, 2016 Posted June 23, 2016 I've been unloading my 10937 Arkham Asylum Breakout sets. 5 sold for $230-$235 in the last 2 weeks. Each was shipped w/o the Lego box (really an odd / tall box for set this size). 1 Quote

The set itself is awesome. If anyone is in the market for a neat build and great Batman minifig selection, this is a great set to buy, Too bad every minifig is either a rehash or has already been rehashed. I think many Lego Superhero buyers don't seem to care much about the brick builds in sets. It's all about the minifigs. If even 1/2 of the included minifigs were really "exclusive" (meaning no other recent set contained a version of that character) , I'm sure prices would be above $400. 1 Quote
