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...

minicoopers11 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 The great thing about the Chess sets for me...if they don't sell well, they are great army builders! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zelgazra Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Along that same line, I think the Pirates Chess has been quite popular for the Bricklink crowd. Some nice big plates and other parts that command decent resale prices individually. Plus all the figs. Pirates have been and likely always will be popular with kids. I think there's hope for it with the right strategy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be at Lego store tomorrow for the big Disney Castle VIP pre-sale event and have a pirate set on hold (they are not out on the floor). Was told by an employee they only have 20 castle sets and they will go fast. Even the employees sound psyched! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should overtake its sibling 75054 over the next few months. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My last 9450 Lousy Dragon Battle for $110 shipped (a profit of 6% per year held, my most regrettable early decision) 2015 Bricktober set that I got from TRU Canada for $75 with GSP. Now I can build my $44 Ferrari 6857 Funhouse and 76000 Arctic Batman for $85 shipped along with another sale to save on shipping for me.

Guest TabbyBoy Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 100x 21110 Research Instututes for £2600 cash. An eBay buyer that I dealt with last month asked for an "outside-of-eBay" deal for cash on collection. I still have a dozen or so left.

Martae54 Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Sold my last 75049 Snowspeeder..$49.99 plus exact shipping every last one of them. (There is a hole in my heart right now but it will be filled by 75144) I can see 75049 hitting $75, but I had to sell something !!! Paid $20 plus tax for a whole slew of em during winter WM clearance. It Is was them or my beloved 41054 Rapunzel Towers that I paid $19 for.. (They seem to be climbing faster than the speeders) You guys see these hitting $90-$100 by Christmas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It only takes 3 pages of sellers to get to $70 and 6 pages to get to $100, so it might be possible. It is a much better set than the new one, but I'm not sure if it's $80 better. I only have 4 more, so I'll probably send in 2 for this Christmas and hope for $90. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manse1001 Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Sold a Land Speeder today on eBay to some guy at the Lego Group in London, dispatch address is '8-10 New Fetter Lane' !! Ooooooh how the tables have turned !! The way I'm feeling at the moment, who knows what I may send him inside the box !! Even more distressing, I pray he isn't a designer that requires this for 'research', which basically means he's gonna build it, add a cheese block and release it as the UCS Land Speeder !!! Watch this space people ! ;o) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand that this is where they assemble and polish Ban Hammers! ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feed Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 last few sales, nothing exciting really, just run of the mill core sets. Surprised how quickly some of these have appreciated and how much demand for them there is. Granted many of these will go for more during the holiday season but I’m a turnover guy. Dolphin Cruiser £75/£80 buy in £25 Mos Eisleys, £90 buy in £40 Antmans £40 buy in £12 Wheel bikes £40 buy in £12.5 Sail barge £125, buy in £65 Mixels 5 full sets £30, buy in £13 Museum Break-in £50, Buy in £25, (just to move them, tired of looking at them) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
