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...
Brickonator Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 I think I'll move to Australia! Wouldn't recommend it (As a Lego Investment strategy). The postage is ridiculously expensive and there are way less retailer deals. Its nearly impossible to find good clearance on Lego here. But people are willing to pay a lot more for Lego. So I guess you lose some and win some. What I sold today - 2x MC First Night $120 Shipped - 1x Hulk lab smash $90 Shipped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huskers1236 Posted November 23, 2014 Author Share Posted November 23, 2014 Sold my last 10215 for $115. Going to lose money on it after fees, but it's a turd. Really thought I was going to grab some cheap before they went up and they never did. I bought some 10174's at the same time and made good money on them, but these are just stagnant.

Really thought I was going to grab some cheap before they went up and they never did. I bought some 10174's at the same time and made good money on them, but these are just stagnant. this makes the case for sticking with Original trilogy for investing in sw lego. It looks cool in person - fun build - and an investment turd because no one thinks back to that great classic star wars scene with Obi-wan's starfighter. going forward i'm not investing in anything from episodes 1-3. You know its the weekend before black friday on ebay when I sold a lot of 5 CHIMA WORRIZ FIRE BIKE poly freebies for $18 BIN with free shipping. also sold a Space Center 3368 for $100 + 10 shipping but for 60, last of my amazon price mistake hobbit 5 armies for 58 bought for 15, and a free mini T1 poly for $34 BIN free shipping. getting ready to list the Tumblers and Minecraft on craigslist and coloring in some poster boards signs that i can hold up and wave at the entrance on friday morning at the TRU parking lot. GOT TUMBLERS? GOT MINECRAFT? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huskers1236 Posted November 24, 2014 Author Share Posted November 24, 2014 Sold a Lone Ranger lot including the train/mine/colby city/cavalry for $210. Glad to see these yellow boxes disappear as they are not great. I was warned, I know. I will hold onto some trains for a while as I believe in them more than the others. Luckily my buy-in was pretty low on all these sets, generally 30-50% off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
