I sold my very first set today. A 75056 Star Wars Advent Calendar for $79.xx BIN on eBay. I am no longer just a hoarder/collector - I've crossed over and I'm glad to be here.

last night after going out to dinner with my wife we stopped off at target to pick up wrapping paper and some other non-lego junk. as we strolled by the lego section i spy an endcap of 20 or so target minifigure packs - scan at $15. put 6 in cart to wife's dismay. "you already ordered 12 of those yesterday online" "yes honey, but time is of the essence." eyes rolled, nose in air, slight scowl. listed a lot of 6 for $159 bin free shipping before bed, wake up and it has sold. made $38.36 on the flip after fees, taxes, shipping. told her she can take that out of paypal account and that we bought her dad's xmas gift with the flip. point. set. match.

I'm totally all over this idea... BTW For the record, this is post #1000!

TRU online only has 194 in stock..

This is intended for customs, but I haven't had trouble using it for everything.

Dear UPS, No there wasn't a spider on the LEGO box containing my Creative Tower, but thanks for stomping on it anyway. Yours Truely, I like FedEx better.

Yes. In your "Your eBay item sold!" e-mail, click the "Print Shipping Label" button or click "Print Shipping Label" link next to payment in Paypal. Lowest is $1.93 online and includes tracking. There are multiple ways to get there, these are just two ways.

Research institute is back available at LEGO Shop at Home get it while it lasts!!!!

In Europe it is already doing well. Keeping my two for the long haul though. Will be sad to let them go. Such a nice set!

5 more caves and 2 farms showed up in mail today, looks like caves are settling in at $45 now up from $40,over weekend Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Brickpicker mobile app

Bought 6 Joker Stream Roller with 6 free Target minifigures @ Target store, sold all 6 Target minifigures between $28.5 -$34.5 shipped within 24 hrs. So that's like a little over $20 discount on each Stream Roller.

Last couple of days : Kingdom's Chess 2x $109 and 1x $115 Mixels Set Red $44

We've recently seen an amazing wave of exclusives and high-end sets go out-of-stock and presumably retire. While we don't yet know for certain which of these sets are truly retired and which may come back into stock after the Christmas rush, I think it would be fun to speculate which of these sets will see the fastest price appreciation to the 5x RRP level. Personally I believe that 10224 Town Hall has the greatest potential to be the first of this pack to reach 5x. Implied in that statement is that I'm convinced it is retired (other than a few oddball shipments showing up here and there) and won't be coming back. My case for Town Hall is as follows: The EOL was unexpected. Most thought that that GE would would exit from the stage with a lot of lead time before TH, so having it EOL almost simultaneously with GE left people unprepared. This means that many people who want it for their personal collection likely don't have one. It is less stockpiled by speculators. Not only due to the suddenness of the EOL, but also due to the $200 RRP. It is a modular so people wanting to "complete the set" will need to purchase it. With a RRP of $200 Town Hall will need to reach $1000 to be at the 5x level. Any one want to guess how long it will take? Anyone else care to speculate another recent exclusive that will be first to reach 5x? EDIT: Ok, make the case for non-exclusives also if you prefer. But please explain **why** you think the set has great promise.

I got a majority of mine from Amazon at the $310 price.

Yep it's a failure just like everyone else told me the tie fighter would be a failure and look where it's already at I'm ignoring all the comments and buying whenever I find them

Congratulations! This Creative Tower is perfect gift for children.

TRU down to 75 left

It is painful talking to them. I had some gift cards that I tried to use on their site. submitted the order, didn't went through, however, balance is 0 now. According to one of their CS. balance is on hold. according to the rest of their team, they have no idea. battling on to get my money back.

you are gonna be in solitude alright, and not by choice. LOL

Looks "cool!" :-)

Sold all of my Chima Worriz Fire bike polys @ 6.99 ea

My gut tells me a big Batcave is coming. 6860 was an amazing seller and I think they kept it around an extra year while they built a big exclusive Batcave/Wayne Manor. If it is coming AA leaving makes sense.

yes to clarify. there are no free bubble mailers from USPS for FirstClass, but there are free clear envelopes to put your labels in. I personally use #0 bubble mailers and half sheet labels

there is somewhat obscure (but working) way to ship stuff using ebay discounted rates (USPS and UPS) via Paypal, even if you did not sell something via eBay (say, bricklink). I don't know if they are going to keep this interface after eBay and PayPal separation https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_ship-now there is also "bulk ship" command, but i did not use that one https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_bulk-ship

Don't be surprised if they show up at Toys "R" Us though I'll be checking

I'll be buying.

I got 9 caves in yesterday. I also sold a crafting box for $99 and insta bumped the price up higher

Same in Australia. Back available with a limit of 5! Can't believe it!

Not sure if this is the right place, but I'd like to nominate SnowmanOlaf for the 007 badge for sharing TRU.com inventory levels. Most recently, on the Cinderella's Castle thread.

I just stuck that on. Was gonna take the wheels off but was in a hurry.

Congratulations on your 1000.

And we though The Tumbler was going to be flip of the year... when workshop price crosses over WVC prices, I will be sad...

Figured I had procrastinated long enough and finally ordered one from LEGO Shop at Home (in the U.S). Didn't want to miss out on this, as it looks like it is very close to EOL. If you want any of these, better get it soon!

60062 Ice Breaker - $180 plus shipping on ebay. BIN listing only lasted 2 hours. Should have asked for more I guess. Paid $100 for it 2 weeks ago

The people that think there will be a re-release are more of the "I don't have it, I want it, but I don't want to pay for it crowd", with a little "I am going to load up on them to make a ton in the aftermarket" (not realizing that everyone else will and it will be a Death Star scenario). If you want one, buy one.... Or don't

yup, lol but i ordered them back under another account

Only bought 1 set. I'll give you a hint: It's big, black, long, and hard.

Yea I have a feeling the next falcon will look like the current AT AT and Star Destroyer, smaller versions of sets past

not with darth vader and young han solo and young princess leia. also as someone already pointed out, the MF in the movie trailer has a square antenna, not a circle, so unlikely to be the same. for now 7965 is the second biggest lego MF ever made. and with a little help and god willing, the next MF will be some $69.99 600 piece Midi-monstrosity right at grandma's price point aimed at kids not adults which will further propel 7965 into post EOL hyperspace.

In case this was missed in the DD thread...this is OOS at TRU.com finally. Low price on Amazon is $74.99. Would like to see it climb closer to $100, we'll see how long that takes though.

Ebay sellers need to raise their prices

Sell it with the box. Folks will appreciate getting the box, even in that shape.

Picard says Make It So

actually i stand corrected, dubzero you are correct. looks like there is potential of abuse and it does look like it has been done to take away competition inventory at the lower prices.

The Guardians of the Galaxy sets have a tag saying "available for a limited time" in the official lego catalogue of this semester. Is it any indication of retirement?

If you could see my face, you would see awe mixed with jealousy. Amazing score!

The glow-in-the-dark is awesome. Too bad they remove it
