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

I've moved a couple at £90 lately but with Ebay fees offer and I had to pay the postage too. Probably around the same all considered. Looking good Quote

Lego.com had a big discount on vampire hearse , big zoo and palpatine arrest coupled with free Martian manhunter poly . They were canceling orders and shipping free polys and yet kept the listings on those sets uP. One member was able to grab like 70 VH. Most ened with tens of free polys If u go to the very first few pages of the order status thread , it is all there . 6 Quote

Good times. I ordered VH in multiples of nine to meet the threshold for free shipping, which if I remember correctly was $75 at the time. I only ordered eighteen total VH. Wasn't Jabba's Palace at $50 part of this sale too? I seem to remember ordering and receiving a few of those around that time as well. Quote

Yep, I think I only received MMs and Big Zoos out of the whole deal. 1 Quote
Alpinemaps Posted January 9, 2017 Posted January 9, 2017 It happened early in the morning too, so west coasters missed out on most of the fun. I did end up with enough Bog Zoos to make a really Big Zoo at one point. Those things were really easy to sell on CL, too. Quote
exciter1 Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 Was able to sell a couple 41176 FBM, but it appears some have jumped in and started undercutting already. Brilliant! 41176 - Elves: Secret Market Place - $120 40201 - Valentine Cupid Dog - $23 1 Quote
Scatterbug Posted January 12, 2017 Posted January 12, 2017 (edited) Mystery Machine for £40 cash (£20 buy-in). Bloke said it was for his young daughter so there is definite cross-generational appeal. Coupling the rest with Mystery Mansions. Edited January 12, 2017 by Scatterbug Quote

donbee Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 Sold TC-4 three times last week, $13 each. Glad to see the price rising above $10 again. 1 Quote
marcandre Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 10234 Opera House for $479 via amz. Buy in was $247.98 last month. Got lucky with shipping too, only $14 with sig con. This thing is really taking off. Nice lil qfll. I have some to hold long term but it may be smart to flip more now if this is just a eol bump. Will it keep going or fall back like so many of the big 2015 sets? 1 Quote

Which is an important factor to success. 3 Quote

Ended up with a half dozen which is a lot for me these days. Only 40 sellers on amz. 75 or so on ebay. Seems low. I honestly thought I had it high enough on amz that no one would buy it. Not really in sell mode now but always have some overpriced stuff listed. 3 Quote
