My Daughter received a LEGO Friends house for Christmas. While My Daughter and I where building the Lego Friends house My son said I wish I had a house for Batman. My son

So Batman/Bruce Wayne has a personal holding cell for Poison Ivy in his house? Hmm, kinky.

Wow, this post stands in such sharp contrast to all of the well written, valuable, time intensive information, freely offered by so many helpful people who make this site so amazing. Thank you to all the trusted members who have offered their time and knowledge to us, without asking anything in return. Ban this slimy troll before he starts posting Work with LEGO from Home schemes.

This is why we can't have nice things.....

lol, I was playing of course, sorry wesman.

I HATE WHEN PEOPLE BUMP CRAWLER THREADS.

Maybe he's gonna destroy all of his and post the video online.

Always use in store as they are treated as gift certificate. Recently I stacked 8 of them in 1 transaction without any problem. Got a Unimog very very cheaply after $20 off and a stack of the rewards. I felt like emazers for once :D

No, married 11 years with two great kids. I own an investment advisory firm, so my wife completely trusts my investment decisions. I would like to make thousands on this stuff years from now. That requires a sizeable investment now. I am hoping for a half million in value 5 years from. We'll see.

So I have had a couple people ask me - my store is currently on vacation. I am not - just contemplating what I want to do from here. A lot of the time and stress from a store is wearing me down and so I wanted to take a couple of weeks break to re-evaluate what I do, how I do it, and make it better and more manageable. Some people mentioned label printers earlier in another thread and I was intrigued. Looks like a good idea. Basically, from what I can tell, printers are thermal - no ink or toner. You just buy the label paper. You have to get the right ones for certain labels - still working on that info. Anyway - if you have one of these, please share your info and knowledge in this thread. I and I am sure others want to buy the right one. I was shipping 15 packages a day - being able to peel and stick a label rather than pull off 60 pieces of tape would be freakin huge. Right now I am looking at the DYMO 450. Looks like you can get it for under 100$ (Amazon has it for $83) and I found an ebay seller with 5 sets of 700 labels for $15 or so. So we are talking at least as cheap as inkjet or laser printing. Thoughts people? http://www.amazon.com/DYMO-LABELWRITER-Printer-1752264-Software/dp/B0027JBLV4/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1390948850&sr=8-2&keywords=dymo+450& http://www.ebay.com/bhp/dymo-postage-labels

Didn't realize it was on sale online. Thanks a lot for the tip.

You bumpin' this thread? And... I don't know. I think it's the same as Amazon US, when the order ships Sent from my iPhone using Brickpicker

If I get 10 likes on this post, I'll give you all the advice you need for LEGO investing.

I love this thread and there is a lot of life to come for this topic over the coming months and years. Please don't let one slimy apple ruin it for the rest of us.

Right? I've been saying this since he became a members here. Everyone thinks I'm hating on him because he has so many crawlers......false, I just hate idiots.

Just under 7 hours left to get your entries in! I'm actually on holiday today for a few days so I will be on my phone only. I will post a full list of entries with all picks once I get back.

Dont sweat it man... I was j/k... I am not selling mine unless its suddenky hitting 3000 or even 1000 I might sell a couple so I can buy other sets...

Dumb, dumb, dumb...fools and lemmings.

Stopped by my local Lego store on my lunch break today.. best/worst decision ever. Found a couple UCS B-Wings still on the shelf at %50 off and a 41999 Crawler o.o Quite surprised to see the crawler, employee said they got 2 in today by an odd mistake as they were not supposed to come to the store, but the manager decided to sell them anyways. Most expensive lunch break ever

He didn't PM anyone. This thread is going to get locked and deleted.

we will see where it goes......it's fine now.

Mark just PM'ed me the answer. WOW!! 10 more likes and I'll PM you TOO! Limited time offer...

My bad, the little red fire engine is Energon Inferno. http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Inferno_%28Energon%29

This thread just gave me a great idea... I am going to tell my wife that I keep all the boxes for my crap because I want her to be able to easily identify all my stuff when I kick the bucket. That way she can make more money when she sells it on ebay!

You get a point when someone likes one of your posts, not the other way around.

That works? Is just gave out some likes but saw no point change

Are you trying to get BP points for likes?? Smart!!

Mark is going to turn out to be the greatest troll in the history of the internet.

Thanks. Entry Confirmed. Total Investment = $994.02 Good Luck!

Bought two last weekend at the store, asked a guy there about EOL and he had no clue, even though I'd never really trust their answers. And hello all, I'm finally registered on here!

Welcome, great to have another Aussie on the site!

Star Wars Imperial Shuttle #7624 for me. Kind of what got me started in investing heavier into Lego sets. Amazon had a Buy-2-get-1-free deal years ago. I think I would up with around 35 of them. Started selling them in the $160 range but kept rising to $215 area at the time. Have two left that will be listed eventually. 10179's gotta be the one for single set profit if you go by per set amount. Had 11 that I bought for between $250(1) and $407(10), started selling too early, so a couple sold at $1200, then 1400, then 1800. Still have 3 left though. You just can't get caught up in the "if I still had it" anxiety. Just think about it that you were able to either enjoy or reinvest those funds into something else that continued your investment. Probably a few others that have the same ballpark rate, but haven't started selling yet. GG's, Flagships, Emerald Nights, etc.

Welcome to the site!

Welcome all addicts!

A few things today. First we have a clip from The Lego Movie. Now an official trailer for The Lego Movie videogame. A link to a quite a few scenes from The Lego Movie here. And some news about one of the rare character polybags. It appears the Radio DJ Robot will be a Walmart pre-order exclusive with the PS3 or XBox360 versions of the game. Nothing additional as to whether it will also be available with the PS4 or XBox One versions though at this time.

Managed to score a b-wing for $125 and a WVC for $75 NISB, from some guy that works in my building. Walked by the for sale message board in the lobby of my work, and low and behold this guy was selling Legos he got for Christmas he didn't want. I never thought a Monday would be this wonderful!!!

Welcome

Welcome to Brickpicker!!

Good day, FalloutWench.

No

Fun fact: So far there have been 111 different sets chosen across the 72 entries.

My kind of woman! Welcome!

Since they're unlikely to tell you, you'll probably just have to keep wondering. Based on their feedback and experience, I'd say they probably have it covered. And, just because they sell only Minifigs on eBay doesn't mean they're not selling other Lego elsewhere, or they could be a purchasing agent for a toy store or toy department, they could own a toy store or manage one, they could have an arrangement with a local toy store manager etc. Edited to add: They could have a relationship with multiple regional or national toy dealers who have wholesale privileges with Lego to direct purchase from those dealers, they could know the trucking routes and be planning a magnificent heist... really, the possibilities are almost endless.

I hope you step on a lego barefoot

I like to move around all the retiring soon signs in the local store just to see people freak and buy stuff like Death Stars and Chima.

Seems like even my local lumberyard is selling the Back To The Future sets.

Have you seen this : http://lego.wikia.com/wiki/70816_Benny%27s_Spaceship Looks awesome! (Sorry if this was posted before in some other place)

Different sports stadiums would be awesome
