Can a MOD move this to another website please?

Here is their official video.

Hello everyone! I'm new to this forum and I'm truely a LEGO fan:) Here is one of my recent work based on Marvel Super Heroes theme, and hope you guys enjoy it! For more details, please check the link below. If you like the model, please give your support. Thanks a lot! https://ideas.lego.com/projects/85922 THE STORY The project features the scene from the movie Captain America: The First Avenger. Red Skull is escaping in his flying-wing with the cosmic cube, and Captain America is chasing him, but he is losing his target. Thanks to Peggy Carter and Colonel Chester Phillips, who come with Red Skull's roadster for help! After kissing Peggy goodbye, the mighty Captain jumps onto the aircraft from the roadster and saves the day! THE FLYING-WING The flying-wing is built mainly with dark grey, light grey, black and some dark red bricks. The front cockpit can open and fit one minifig, probably Red Skull himself. The back cockpit can also open, where Red Skull place the cosmic cube. THE ROADSTER The roadster is built with black and dark red bricks, and can fit two minifigures comfortably. Peggy and Colonel Chester Phillips are driving the luxurious car, although it is Red Skull's ride. For more details of the roadster, please refer to this link (including the car model from real bricks): https://ideas.lego.com/projects/83538/updates THE MINIFIGS This project includes four minifigs: Captain America, Red Skull, Peggy Carter and Colonel Chester Phillips. As for the accessories: Captain America is holding his shield; Red Skull has a big gun in one hand and the cosmic cube in the other; Peggy and the Colonel are both holding a pistol. All four minifigs have custom decals on their heads and torsos. Thank you all for viewing!

Nice pickup at Ross. Thats a good set for there.

My last 20 RR on ebay, besides one auction left for Sunday night. That's 148 of them in less then a week. I kept 2 for me.

Just sold my last Wolverine's Chopper on Craigslist for $80 CDN. I had asked for $100 but had used this price in full expectation of being asked to haggle down. You have to stay one step ahead of these people. $80 is what I was getting for these on ebay before fees so I'm actually ahead on this one. Oh Logan, how I'll miss thee. From $7 purchase to $80 sale. Go make some child/man-child happy.

Sold a Star Wars lot to someone local: Sail Barge, Palace, Skiff and A-Wing. Didn't net a huge profit ($50) but hopefully earned some future business down the road. I was glad to dump the barge and a-wing.

Thats what she said.

It would be a foolish move in my opinion not to buy those sets. I pay above retail for many special sets all the time and I never regret it. People need to realize that not every LEGO set has to be bought at a discount for it to be a good deal in the long term.

I moved it over to Reddit. You're now famous!

Lot of 4 little blue farm brick boxes 4626 for $139 with free shipping bin. paid $7.50 each - total of $30 - from stop and shop lego clearance this summer.

37 Marvel Minifigures for $42.59!!! This is a major issue.

spongebob 3815- $30 still grinding polybags (kids pack/print/ship them) for about $3 profit each, gone from selling a few a week to 4-5 a day steady, they are liking the extra income

79010 The Goblin King Battle - $50 at Ross 75056 SW Advent Calendar + free Rocket Raccoon promo - TRU (used 15% off coupon and $5 reward coupon) I asked customer service at TRU if they could sell the RR promo and they said yes so I bought 9 more to give me 10 total. The 15% coupon was applied to those as well.

That Jamie guy is my hero.

I like what I'm seeing so far...21113, 21115, 21116 OOS on Amazon and 21114 backordered by 1-2 days. Now the only question is how fast they restock and how much.

It can be pretty frustrating. A couple of weeks ago I had a Sopwith tied up in pending status for 6 days and then it never went through. It worked out because in the interim the price had moved up a bit and I ended up making a little more when I was able to put it back up for sale. But that week was rough, I had 5 pending orders and none of them ended up as sales. In the mean time, it's not listed for sale to anyone else. I wish Amazon would come up with a fix for it - as NMM mentioned above, it could be abused by a rival 3rd-party seller to drive buyers towards their items. That. Would. Suck.

You poor thing, I'd hate to see someone pay full price for something.

Cripes! Good for you! How long have you been holding onto those two dinosaurs? I dumped all of my Atlantis over a year ago and broke even on it.

"Brand new in manufacturer

yeah, I should turn on my bricklink notifications on the "used" front. cracking sealed boxes feels so good, yet so bad. LIke burning cash for warmth in an ice storm when the power goes out. Of course our money is all plastic now.. sooo. anyway.

It looks like you're right. If I try to make an offer to someone with free shipping, it says in the offer that shipping is free. Their wording just threw me, but would make more sense for a listing that had a shipping cost listed Time to turn the phone up to hear the cha-ching.

Sold a lot of stuff but the one that peaked my interest was an order of 2 City Advent 60063 Calendars for $110.

Oh F... I pasted the link from a very small screenshot. Perhaps this video belongs with the video exciter posted the other day about rebel bases.

Tell him to buy it, build it, and let you know

2014 Star Wars Advent Calendar $73

I would buy one.

Ok I was thinking about this set and it is the Marvel version of the Indiana Jones plane. I loved that set and it did pretty well. It seemed to be popular. Once I thought of that I realized how much potential this set has because this would be more popular then Indiana Jones. It has a lot of playability just like Indiana Jones plane. If the price point could be $60-$80 I think it would be a consistent seller especially around Christmas. I hope you get the support but if you don't I wouldn't be surprised to see LEGO release something very similar if not identical.

Congrats! Your works are great!

2 more curiosity rovers for $100 each

new 7985 City of Atlantis $100 new 7327 Scorpions Pyramid $170

FBA trending @ $190.. price has been soaring .a gain of about 40$ in the last 2 months or so

lot of 2 Battle Packs - 9488 and 9489 for $30 + shipping.

That phone! OMG - retro awesomeness.

Lego legal told me that it is illegal to do an exact duplicate in China. China completely agrees with them there. The problem is the court's interpretation can allow for a slight change (something as simple as different packaging) to cause Lego to lose the case. And then you have the issue of the sheer number of counterfeiters and the number that will simply jump in and replace those eliminated.

Love it! Great design. Supported!

Nice work and good luck

Amazing. I would love this.

My 2 year old and 6 year old always yell out a "yay!" when they hear that sound.

You can't play the game like that, at least not in my opinion. Because when that one set does become the next winner? Yeah, you've only got two of them because you're so diverse. I played that game at first, and I've got a garage full of onesies/twosies that I'm slowly chipping away at. R2-D2 is a good example for me. I have no doubt it will be a winner. I have no doubt that people that are picking it up are a making a wise investment. But, I have zero in my stock. Because I can't buy everything. There are other sets that I've decided to focus on. Don't spread yourself too thin.

Just built this myself and it was a lot of fun. Figures are amazing. A builder really needs to put a couple of them together to really get the feel of the cantina but I thought Lego did a good job with this set.

For those considering FBA now that the amazon holiday selling rules are in place, I would advise against it. As Bold-Arrow said, FBA has its pro's and con's. I'll try to run through a short list of them, but it's worth searching out more details on this forum, the brickset forum, and elsewhere before you take the leap. Search for "FBA horror stories" for a sampling of all that can go wrong. pros: higher selling price, amazon handles the packing/shipping and all the customer service cons: storage fees, amazon handles the packing/shipping and all the customer service The seller needs to pay shipping to get the items to an amazon warehouse, so there is still that. There are horror stories of shipments being lost or misdirected though. _IF_ the sellers stock is co-mingled with others, there is a risk of a product being shipped to your customer that is in worse shape (or even the wrong item) than the one you sent to amazon. It costs more to keep your product separate from the co-mingled stock. _IF_ the buyer has a complaint, the seller has very little recourse to resolve it. AMZ handles the customer service, and decides how much credit to give for a claim. Bottom line is that if you are quick-flipping and/or have high volume, FBA is probably OK---you can ride out the hiccups. If the items you are selling are very valuable, and/or rare, I would avoid it. I've looked into FBA many times, but have decided against it (for now, that may change if I run out of space in my closet). For me, the risks of something going wrong are just too high. I'm a hobby seller, and average 1-2 sales a week when I feel like selling stuff. My volume is so low, that if a sale went bad, it could wipe out my whole profit for the month. Through FBA, you're bringing in a third party, and so in my opinion the chances of something going wrong increase dramatically. If my sales were much higher in volume, I would probably see more benefit than cost to the FBA program. Similarly, if your volume is so low that you didn't make the '25 sales in 8 weeks' threshold, FBA may be riskier than it is worth. Just my 2-cents.

Instead of focussing on the quantity of your posts, perhaps you could start working on the quality.

Heh, my bad. I'm in the same boat as you if you feel any better but in my case it is eating taco bell for dinner and the unpleasant odors associated with that has me banned.

Did my good deed for the season. Went by a couple of local TRU to check their stock on 75056. One was all out, the other had 1 hidden behind a Super Heroes sets. Saw a mother looking in the spot where the kept the calendars, she walked away. I picked it up, placed it on the shelf when I knew she was looking and walked away. Walked around the corner, turned around, and watched her quickly pick it up and rush to the counter. Hopefully me passing on this one, will translate to me selling my stock for profit.

This post on eurobricks cracked me up: "also looks like a departure from the love story we've gotten in the modulars: PC: first date PR: proposal GE: Suit and dress choice for upcoming marriage TH: Wedding PS: New apartment to start a family DO: wife has run away and husband hires a private detective to find her?"

Not even Nano Bricks?

who me? lol... unfortunately we have a lot of exporters in our area too!

They will follow their strategy to the letter. They would be more predictable if it were a public company.
