received all orders .... amazon, target; walmart(CT); all mixed and a huge mess. still figuring out the content yes not all cartons have packing slip

I'm a simple frog. 1. I sees the LEGO. 2. I buys the LEGO. 3. I takes the LEGO home. The only things I buy from TLG are exclusives I can't get on discount anywhere else anyway, and occasional clearance. Taxes I pay are refunded to me when I file my state sales tax returns. Whether I'm getting a 4.8888877329238938024839043% discount or 5% doesn't matter. In 20 days, whether I'm getting a 9.99023493890243241% discount or 10% won't matter, either.

confused on how some do not see the potential in this set. I've sold 19 the last 90 days at an average of $261.26. There's plenty more that have closed / sold at $255-290 during the past 30 days even while the set has been available at multiple sources at regular retail. That's a pretty good sign it is a popular set. If you can get 30-40% over retail while still being readily available more times than not you will have a winner. Taking a look at the sets that were not selling well online while being available like SC, HE, AA, R2 up until they started the dance and this one has been near the top. AA is still pulling about 299, R2 at about 300-310 and they've been gone for months, granted they were $160 sets HE at 200ish which left about the same time as the other 2, and SC going for $170 range on a $100 set which has been gone the longest but had some TRU afterstock show up. While R2 was heading out it was in the $250-260 range and I sold over 40 of those in a 2 month period . It was extremely popular. AA probably jumped the quickest but had the perfect timing of Xmas when it went out. R2 had been going in and out prior to that. Point is those other 4 sets all did well and this one is on par with those seeing its still available. Not trying to convince anyone but at the same time I would not overlook this set. As others have said its a unique set and should be a one time type of set. Up until the last 4-5 months it went widely unnoticed. Now that it is staying around longer this last batch it is getting overlooked again by R5 , PC, and PS which seem to sell out while this one sits on the shelves. Once this one truly goes it should have a nice spike again.

It's a bittersweet day...just sold my last set of Series 1 Mixels for $123. Other than a set that I have for ourselves, and some individual ones for sale, I am out!

VIP points > no VIP points.

I factor VIP points into my purchase prices only when I use them. Leads to some wildly low prices at times, but easier for me to keep track of. Same thing with TRU rewards (lol, good luck tracking that).

Bottom line is this... We are on the verge of the most hyped movie of all time. Anything STAR WARS will be hot. Flipping out of a SSD now to buy other sets could be one of the worst LEGO investing moves ever made IMO. What will a person flip into? SOH? Is it retiring? Do people care? ToO? Same thing. Pet Shop? One only has to look at the Fire Brigade to see this set won't explode. Palace Cinema? Same thing. Tower Bridge? Sure...maybe next year. Death Star. LOL. Tumbler, Slave or Helicarrier...not ready to retire. Town Hall? Too late. See my point? This set is a keeper. Be patient. While there are no guarantees, I don't see another set capable of growing hundreds of dollars over the course of the next year.

Mine still reads zero. Same as yesterday.

I was going to mention something similar. I think Alpine had a couple honeyholes for these after they were on the rise, but maybe he was scooping them up before then. Bulletproof helmet.

- Gimme your money ! - Here you are... where are the polybags ?

Anyone who has a foot of snow where they live in May should consider relocating.

got my last 5 today. 54 total. All have already been paid for and sold to a wholesaler. Who rules because they only want pieces. So I empty everything into a box. No fees. Just under 1500.00 profit in a week depending how I ship. May do freight for first time as opposed to 5 boxes. The last five shipped in original lego cartons but then inside a walamrt box. Good job walmart. I have never had the problem others say about their shipping.

People around 40 or 50 tend to get this thing called "Midlife Crisis". You can tell when they start to look for attention from other women, get their motorcycle drivers license and buy Super Star Destroyers.

What is all this talk about Golden Dragon???

This is way to complicated for me. I just log what I pay at the time for a set. I see no reason to go through all that when it all comes out even in the end anyway.

Strong performance of product lines, such as LEGO City, LEGO Creator as well as THE LEGO MOVIE products contributed to sales growth in all regions of the world and led to a highly satisfactory annual result for the LEGO Group with sales increasing to 28.6 billion DKK.

Why does it matter? Spread it out evenly or apply all to one set. In the end it all adds up. Do what makes sense to you.

Or his fly was undone....

saw this over the weekend and had to have one. Used the city bogo to get two and sold one so almost got it for free. Last pic is for exciter1. Now when you say to buy more TP you can buy it in LEGO form as well.

That's awesome! Might produce one DS per day. No wonder the damn thing isn't retiring they are still trying to fill a shipping container!

Morgan says....

Here are a few videos inside the lego factory: At the end of the first video it states a packing line can produce "1400 boxes per hour" This last one is the most comprehensive and shows the complete process...but it's in Spanish!

Nope.....this guy.

Read the entire thread before commenting further. I'm half kidding. Sort of. Not really...

I'm going to pin this post and update it as new information is provided. I just want to take a few minutes and thank those who wrote the following articles.

For battle packs and even small sets, I sometimes use Wal-Mart, Target, or plastic bags from any store. Additional packing isn 't really needed. Usually like 2 bags on bottom, one to wrap the item, and two bags on top. Make sure to cover the corners of the item real nice to provide extra padding. Rule of thumb : ship & pack all of your items the same way you 'd like to receive items you've purchased.

I am not sure if I understand what you mean. I am still waiting for: - Hospital - Museum - Police Station And last but not least a big ass Train Station size 3 baseplates minimum.

Yes that's the point I was trying to make

I sold a 5002943 Winter Soldier Minifigure last week for

Get at least one to build, please. Double VIP is coming up! Don't miss this one...

I do the same... I substract the points when I use them. Like a credit.

Awesome potential with this little set. Got with 30% off and sold x2 RRP on Xmas. And it's still climbing. If it has just been sold out on the US LEGO Shop at Home (!) I guess it means it's still available in B&M shops (!!) : do not wait, grab lots of them. http://www.brickpicker.com/bpms/set.cfm?set=70503-1

Are people really analyzing the difference between 5 percent and 4.76 percent back? If I have to dig that deep I might as well just get out of Lego.

Are you factoring in demolition drillers for $7 and winter elf scene 1/2 for $20+? You are over thinking Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Brickpicker mobile app

Dear Santa...

Day before Thanksgiving? 2014? I think people were more like: "Look! That guy is carrying the last and final Super Star Destroyer to the register."

No argument at all, I agree with you - I am just not nearly as organized as I should be. ;P And money definitely can be made - and it can be good for feedback and to fill up those 40 FBA Premium sales too. With me they get stuck in bags and thrown in a box and have to be found, sorted, and counted later. If I tackled them in a timely manner like you do, probably wouldn't cause me headaches.

I went to a Lego store today to use the Han coupon and buy a battle pack, and found a Jek-14 on clearance for $41 instead.

The first batch of 5 CTs came in 3 shipments today. 4 were in their original Lego cases (2 + 2). The other one... (Note: absence of packing materials...). Waiting for seven more batches...

So now users are supposed to debate projections in PM? Kinda defeats the purpose of the forum.

This one is really starting to come good despite what the haters said. A Red 5 retirement would be welcome to help it on up.

Set goes OOS - "OMG it's retiring!" Set is in stock - "Final stock before supply runs dry! OMG it's retiring" Give it a rest, not every set is retiring.

Laser ship has some interesting delivery cars / people.

so did she deny stealing it and claimed it was hers? i dont want to assume that is what happened because i dont like assuming. if so, I agree with Delorean. The kids learned from that lesson big time because now they know their mom did not buy it and thats all she had to say to get out of it.

No price is too high for an SSD. I'm snapping up all I can right now at $800, 'cause some anonymous guy on this site told me it's sure to hit $2k by this time next year. Last Fall, I was buying SSD's at $700 and passing up HH and TH at MSRP to free up funds. So far that hasn't worked out, but I'm sure it will given time. After putting all my retirement funds into Phoenix real estate in 2006 and buying shares in offshore oil drillers on margin last summer, it's a relief to have finally found a sure-fire investment in SSD's at 2 x MSRP!

Don't feel bad. Everyone is getting a little burned out on the non stop 'is pc retiring' posts. It's not going anywhere.

More batzarro minifigs at $15+shipping. All bought at target for $10/each w DVD, only sold a few DVD so far. Other listings selling at a lot less Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Brickpicker mobile app

Looks awesome! I really have to pick up one of those shuttle polys...

Hi could you please sell me AA for $220? I work as X and can't afford your price, it's for my kid who has X disability. Might I suggest a bat cave? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Brickpicker mobile app

If people following a few pages back, yes a full set of 9 mixels fit in a padded flat rate envelope. $5 shipping anywhere in US makes shipping pretty decent and you don't have to worry about a surpirse Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Brickpicker mobile app
