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...
exciter1 Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 No doubt as long as flash stays exclusive to this set and he was also in the movie for a minute or two. I think this set will do well eol.but that's a ways from now The set is also $10 more than the Wolvie/Deadpool set. If you ever have a chance to get them for under $20, snatch them up.

inversion Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Finally sold my used 10212 for 420$ equivalent of HUF. Sweet. And still can't believe I snagged a MISB one for 350$ in February to replace it from a small toystore! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrymc4677 Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Just sold my last 8097 slave I for $164 ($150+$14 shipping). I bought it at a local mom and pop last summer for $63 (I had a 20% off coupon. Normal retail is $80). I am sad to see it go. I have sold quite a few of these, and it's one of my favorites in our personal collection. Ok, I'm over it. Bring on the UCS Slave I !!!!!

terrymc4677 Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Sold a few more Wolverine's Chopper Showdown (6866) this week. I keep raising the price and they keep selling. This set confuses me. I know they are selling like hot cakes (sorry, had to do it), but I've had mine listed for two months and I haven't sold a single one yet. I have ten of them and I've got them at $54.99 plus $6.95 shipping. Looking at sold listings, it doesn't look like my asking price is out of line with what people are paying. If you don't mind me asking, what are you selling them at? Free shipping? If you don't wish to reveal your secret that's totally fine. I'm in no hurry to sell them, but don't want to give them away either. My buy in is between $10-$14. I can't remember without looking them up. I bought them when amazon had them real cheap this past holiday season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought them when amazon had them real cheap this past holiday season. $62.95 & $64.95 w/ free shipping I bumped them up to $69.95, so maybe sales will slow down and it might force me to drop them a bit. I've sold at least 6 at these prices and several before that at $59.95. I really don't mind sharing too many details, since the market doesn't appear to be slowing in my neck of the woods.

jaisonline Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 9465 The Zombies. New in sealed box. $2xx.00 plus shipping. This set is clearly still warm and the demand is there. The only thing keeping sealed sets from being hot is the availability. My goal is to sell 4 more ASAP and then sell 4-5 more around Halloween.

My son wanted to keep the car and other minifigs, I've been eyeing that set for part out value but didn't feel it was there. I don't keep any though. I don't feel like the ninjago sells too quickly.

I don't feel like the ninjago sells too quickly. Maybe, I"m just getting into Ninjago because of my son and there's no way I was letting a nearly 5 year old play with a dragon. I would be rebuilding it every 5 mins (like with his Destiny Bounty) or worrying too much about his 17 month old sister (my little princess) when she's hunting for things to taste. I did order an Epic Dragon Battle last week and will be parting that out this week. Again, I'll be listing the Dragon with maybe 1 of the minifigs to make it more attractive. I'm parting out not for profits though as you can see. Just trying to make the $ damage less painful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brickbuilder.g Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 According to brickset the 7888 was only available for about 6 months - is that correct?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrymc4677 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 just finally sold my last 9497 republic starfighter. I had about a dozen of these I bought from shopko last winter/spring for about $17 each. after fees and shipping I made between $10-$15 on each one, depending on where they were shipped to. I am glad to wash my hands of this set. they were tough to unload, even though I had them listed at $38 (retail is $45). I feel for anyone who invested in this set for more than $25 thinking they got a bargain. no more old republic sets for me in the future. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff_14 Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I sold 3 Wolverine Chopper showdowns for $55 or so (plus shipping) in the past few weeks, and the one I have on ebay now is at about $80 !!! with a day still to go. I have another 4 of these still and am now considering holding them for a while in lieu of this dramatic improvement. Not bad for a $20 set I bought in bulk 4 months ago.

naf Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 sold via craigslist: 2 Umbaran MHC's for $40 each Winter Village Cottage for $150 - Bought this one on Target clearance in store for $50, beat up box but not too bad. Was going to wait until xmas to sell, but figured I would list it now and see if anyone bit. Using the cash to buy another GE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
