legodelorean Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 2 things. I reslly don't understand your all wives.....serious real talk. You all have found a way to make extra money for your household. In a way that does not involve you going to another job and taking away a lot of family time relationship time etc. Granted I'm not married but my gf thinks it's awsome that I make money doing this. Let me explain so you can understand...... When you have a family with kids, it's damn expensive. Not that I'm complaining, it's just very, very expensive. You don't have a bunch of diposable income to invest. When you do, it's really not that much and the investing and then waiting for profit is slow.....very slow. Especially if you are new to this as I am (I am only like 8-9 months in). Also, when your wife sees that you are using the disposable income to buy Lego, even if you explain that you are going to make money, she won't be fully convinced until you start raking in some money. For someone like me who is new and the sets I have are not quite close to retirement or some that are, it will take a long time for me to see any profit. If you have been playing this investing game for a while like you have, you have had time to build up your portfolio and money and can make a convicing argument to your girlfriend that this is a great side business you are doing. Plus, you don't have kids. If I didn't have kids and I could invest all that I wanted, I am sure that I could have already convinced my wife that this is a great side business that is making extra money for the family. But that hasn't happened yet and I am sure it will but it is going to take some time. I can't blame wives and/or husbands that are skeptical. I would be too and wouldn't really believe it until I saw some cash start rolling in. 3 Quote

(if you cannot do that then there is no point in doing it) its a double whammy... losing $$ & not getting any Quote

legodelorean Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 before you go in too deep, sell some and show the profit if you are making. (if you cannot do that then there is no point in doing it) its a double whammy... losing $$ & not getting any Good thing is, is that I haven't gone in too deep and have listened to other people's stories on here about getting in over their heads. Thankfully, I am not in over my head and everything that I have spent I have been able to do so without incurring credit card debt or spending any savings. I did sell a GE and an RI and I did show her those profits. I am waiting for the big one where I can sell a set and make $100-$200 profit and just give her the money. That will be awesome. Quote
zskid00 Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 My problem is that I want to reinvest every dime I make and my inventory perpetually grows. The wife isn't crazy about that strategy, but it will pay off long-term. I just need her to see that. 2 Quote
randrace Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 I ordered a Creative Tower at 10:31pm PST last night from Walmart for $35 and in store pickup was the only option. Got a message it is available today for pickup. It could be worth scanning the WM app and mobile site to see if CTs are popping up at your local store.

diablo2112 Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 How many people are still waiting for their 42000's from amazon.es? Still waiting. I'm half way through the ship period given for my first order. Quote

dcdfan Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 Good grief! When I received an email last night that some CT would be delivered on Thursday, I assumed that was next Thursday. I did not expect them to be today. Quote
hxckid88 Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 Legodelorean.... Good response. Makes sense. But these towers you should be able to flip fast. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Brickpicker mobile app Quote

boliramirez Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 None of my CT from yesterdays order in the afternoon have shipped, anyone that ordered at the same time yesterday got them shipped? Quote

Brickerbrack Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 12 of my 20 CTs have shipped from Walmart.com 1 Quote
biking_tiger Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 I just received notice that 2 CT are en-route from California. Something's getting through those ports. 1 Quote
boliramirez Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 12 out of 14 CT have shipped today, from CA as well..... 1 Quote
jaxman Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 Well, it took a while but it looks like TLG has finally pulled the plug on my 2/4 CS order. Just got the cancellation email. Quote
smittypop2 Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 I got 29 out of the 50+ CTs I ordered in the mail today. The mailman legitimately lectured me for giving him so much work today. I tried to explain to him that I didn't plan on these arriving on any day and I am not really so sure what I can do about getting things in the mail to ease his workload. I wanted to call his supervisor, but figured I would give him a break with it being this freezing (-15 pre-windchill this am). I am sure I will get some nicely handled packages in the immediate future. Would you guys do anything or just drop it? Quote
