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...
newbie77 Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 I found two cases in Target last week, but I haven't dipped into that stock yet. On bought a couple of sets back when they were out everywhere. Then, when they were drying up, I happened across a bunch at Legoland and TRU, and bought them out. Then I hit every TRU in San Diego county and bought them up. Enough that my one of my payment cards was declined for spending $200 at one TRU, and then $200 at another TRU 5 miles and 15 minutes later. lol I think I've sold 5 sets so far, and I've got about 9 more to go. As long as prices stay at this level, I'm clearing 2x RRP. I wish! I never made it out of San Diego County. i totally envy you ... surprised that you found cases this late @ target. looks like my area is filled with all the BP'ers can't find anything. last time i saw Series 1 was back in June .. then they all vanished and it was series 2 till august. now all i could see/find is series 3....

With the proper coupons, I should be able to snatch them up at a good price (KMart). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm stocking up on those right now. Was lucky to find them at TRU to use for Bricktober, but they're drying up there. LL CA still has a ton of them, although one or two are getting hard to find. I will probably try to finish out a few more sets in the next week or two, and then sit back for Series 3 to start to disappear in a couple of months.

sroster Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Thought I would share my Mixel stash. 95% of these came from the same LL Discovery Center. I think I'm the only person who ever bought Series 1 Mixels there. They still have reds and blacks on the shelf. The bagged ones are complete sets. Photos kind of suck. 24 complete sets, tons of extras, if I could get a bunch more Volectros I would have a lot more complete sets. Also the beginnings of my Series 2 hoarding, mostly blues from TRU. I have a Mixel problem. I found 6 more complete sets I ratholed in my garage the other day which I completely forgot about. Thanks to Alpine, my mixel inspiration. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedsausage Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 (edited) I had no idea these mixels are hot commodities. I've seen some series 2 kickin' around, are they really worth picking up and flipping?

Series 2 isn't quite there yet but they are getting harder and harder to find so not a bad grab. I'm focusing on grabbing the blue guys. They are the most common (24 to a case instead of 18 like the other 2 colors) but they seem to be way more popular at least where I"m at. Blues seem to be harder to find on shelves. Wouldn't hurt to grab them especially if you are trying to add $5-15 at TRU or something to lock in getting the Bricktober sets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My local WM had a couple of series 2 cases, and another store had a couple of series 1 singles. I may have to look into picking up some of these.

My Mixel Brother From Another Mother. Love the stash. I've spent the evening reorganizing mine (yet again). Wish I would have taken some photos. But yours definitely outdoes mine. You hit the mother-lode with that Discovery Center my friend. Happy to inspire, and may you profit well.

My own personal taste says Blue is the best of the three. I just didn't dig the Orange or Brown. I can't predict the future; I don't know that Series 2 will have the staying power of Series 1. But, if you're at all curious, now is the time to get these, before they disappear. They are getting harder to find, and I agree with sroster, that Blue will probably be the ones that take off (much like Yellow). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

10230 Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Haunted House for $325 and SSD $745 Would be interesting to know where - because selling prices don't include fees, and these can be quite different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpinemaps Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Time for me to consider liquidating mine. Before Christmas season? As Olaf would say: "why?" Or, more precisely, time for me to look over my inventory and see what price I bought them at. *checks inventory* *only bought one for himself* Never mind, don't pay any attention to me.

exciter1 Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Well done! Here in Europe it is still sitting at 80 euro, unfortunately. I was surprised, just listed it yesterday. It only cost me $7.28 to ship that big boy, since the buyer was in a neighboring state. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bold-Arrow Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 When you guys sell on Craigslist do you meet up with the buyer? Unless u want to ship it, but I would assume 99% of all transactios are face to face . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
