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...

edgecrusher Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 Per your guys suggestion, I registered on StockX and put some of my sets in my portfolio. Sold a Tantive in under an hour and was shocked that I didn’t have to pay for shipping. Interested to see how this goes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iahawks550 Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 It looks like it could be a very interesting venue for selling, but also not a bunch of volume being sold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFOL60 Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 I've sold 14 sets though Stockx and about 50 sets on eBay in the past six weeks, and this pretty much wiped out my inventory of sets I've had sitting around for about five years. On Stockx, the total sale price of the sets I sold ($3483) was lower than Bricklink's lowest asking prices for the same sets ($3590) from US sellers. These figures represent sales prices prior to commissions, and a large part of the difference in the two totals is due to one set (76042, Shield Hellicarrier) that I sold for $89 less than the corresponding Bricklink price. To me, the benefits of Stockx for sellers compared to eBay are the following - No time required for taking pictures, preparing a listing, etc - Shipping is easy and cost-free for sellers - No risk of a return once Stockx authenticates your item and ships it to the buyer The cost of selling on Stockx is higher than on eBay or Bricklink. In addition to the 12 % fee for authentication and processing, there is a 2 % fee for depositing the proceeds in your bank account. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iahawks550 Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 When they "authenticate", what is their criteria? Are they looking for small box creases, or just making sure it's real? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFOL60 Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 I bought a few older sets with my proceeds from the items I sold, and based upon the condition of some of the boxes I received, I'd say Stockx's focus is more on whether the set is genuine than the overall condition of the boxes. The boxes for the first few sets I bought didn't have any obvious flaws, but the last 3 or 4 had dents/creases that were significant enough that I would have mentioned them if I was listing the set on eBay. Stockx doesn't provide a return option, but for the sets I bought, it's not an issue because I will throw the boxes away after I build the set. My guess is that Stockx doesn't have much motivation to reject sets based on box condition because they miss out on a commission if they do. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pseudoty Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Sold the Friends Mug for $39. Was going to try and get another one and saw the Elva is now gone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff_14 Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 I bought 12 Hoth medical chambers at Walmart clearance 2.5 years ago. Finally sold one today for a 400% profit after fees, etc. Hopefully the other 11 start to move. My eyes are now looking disappointingly at the 4 R’as al Ghul Batman sets I bought years earlier, not one of which has sold yet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarleyMoose Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 A father drove 5+ hours to me to buy a 10188 Death Star for $500 for his soon to be 7 year old son. I threw in 30278 POE X-Wing poly and a 30275 TIE Advanced Prototype poly with it. What a dad! Kid's going to be psyched. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coelian Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Sold Finch Dallow for 320CHF, 2 full minifigs left plus 4 heads. Looking at the number of sellers left worldwide on ebay and bricklink I think I will just hold them. They don't take up much space anyways. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a nice write up, it's part of the Resistance Bomber 75188 set, if it has Finch it's going for some good money. I got my replacement by writing to Lego and showing them proof that I had a few copies of the Resistance Bomber. https://www.brothers-brick.com/2019/02/03/everything-you-want-to-know-about-the-star-wars-finch-dallow-minifigure-replacement-feature/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ogelwoc Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Lego did reissue the set with the revised Finch for a short period of time. Same as Coelian, I got my replacement helmet and head from Lego. It generated quite a buzz in this form back then and I recall a number of us got lucky by just requesting through customer service.

No they did not although they asked for some number on the barcode of the manual. I wasn't going to pop open all my sets but I did show them one from my personal set and took a picture of the other sets I have, they were ok with that. The extras heads I had were because my original shipment went to Swaziland instead of Switzerland but eventually made its way here. During that time I called in asking if they had shipped the items and they told me it was OOS and they only had heads no helmets left. Not complaining though they are worth quite a few hundred bucks today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got one replacement from them and decided not to push my lick asking for more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back to Finch Dallow, I just took a peek at Series 10 Mr Gold prices and I had a shock. A few years ago the going rate was 1k now its 2.5k. I'm going to hold on to my Finch Dallow for a few more years and pray hard they don't re-release it in the meantime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great sets to find, I'm still trying to locate a box full of wave 1 speed champions and Ideas maze that are lost in my house somewhere (or wife has chucked them in the bin...)
