The first thing you do in the morning after waking up. Oh, well this has to be the most awkward acronym in the history of ever....right after Target Inventory Tracker.

Can we nominate members for Awards? If anyone was ever deserving of The Questionnaire badge, it would be canonikon.

this week: sold 3X10221 each for $849.99 cost retail+tax= $435.99 profit ($236.50 each)

Basic human psychology dictates that someone who has multiples of any one set will think it's a winner and try to convince everyone it is. Anyone who has 0 of a set will call it a loser and try to convince everyone it's a turkey in an attempt to make themselves feel better about not having any. It's hard to get an unbiased opinion around here. It is what it is.

I think I would have just replaced that tooth with a white 1x1.

What's wrong with make $60 on a $250 investment in less than a month? If that's not worth it, I'll take it for you. Thanks Sent from my HTC6525LVW using Brickpicker mobile app

Found a lonely Valentines Dinner at Ross for $7.99, felt it best to bring it home and place it on eBay. I think that may be the first item I've ever purchased at Ross, the retail employee in me was screaming in agony at how disorganized that store was.

I bought a 10182 cafe corner for 200$ Off of craigslist. I've been flipping Legos from craigslist to eBay since Christmas and I think I'm addicted. There's so much good information on here I just want to say thanks and good job!

He traded it for some TP

SMH. This set lowest resale was 50% markup; it's now nearly x2 MSRP and continues to rise as smaller seller stock is running out. SR is stable and doing well. Most one off minifigures do well -- reference CMFs. Specifically, Series 1 : nurse. Specialized area with single unit will command a premium. By saying 60 eur = x3 MSRP is not 'a lot', That's hard to figure. None minecraft at 35$ is selling at 105$. Modulars hitting x3 MSRP takes quite a long time too. Fire Brigade still isn't there. Space Shuttle is just getting there after 3 years.

Or....

Hello everyone! Here is another project that I just submitted on LEGO IDEAS, also based on the movie Captain America: The First Avenger. Several months ago, I just posted the project Red Skull's Flying-Wing Chase on the forum. Chech this link: http://community.brickpicker.com/topic/12477-red-skulls-flying-wing-chase-my-lego-ideas-project/ 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/98141 THE STORY This project (392 pieces) features the scene from the movie Captain America: The First Avenger. After a gun fight with Captain America and Bucky in a Hydra base, Johann Schmidt turns into the Red Skull by tearing his face apart, showing the audience his new, horrible, red face. He is going to escape with the cosmic cube in his jet. Unfortunately, Captain America and Bucky fail to stop this bad guy because of the big explosion in the Hydra base. THE HYDRA JET The jet (173 pieces) 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. It has two flick missles on both sides. The three big propellers on the back of the jet can rotate freely in 360

I'd use a mega block, wouldn't want to waste Legos on a cat. Especially an off brand cat.

not sure if it's a news... received my AWD DS, code 05R5... soooooo fresh, long-life DS Edit: DS DS DS... i'm soooo drunk

It's just meant to gauge what sets are selling for in the current market. Has nothing to do with financials. Just gives a guide for others to see what things are going for.

It is the "What LEGO set did you sell today and for how much?" thread not the "what was your exact P&L analysis of such said sale" thread

Either way the man made money. As my life coach "Rickey Smiley" says "stop counting other people's money!" Be happy for him and move on.

Well, uh, that's not quite what it's intended for, but I see where you're going.

All in!

Here is the White Fang of Eurobricks review we all have been waiting for.

Painting Easter Eggs

funny the ones that want to buy them do not find them and the ones who do not want them have end caps. Always the way

I'd love to see the Dolphin Cruiser retire. It's been out for awhile now, so it should be coming close to retiring. I think this set will surprise a lot of people once retired. Many of us were disappointed when it didn't perform as well this past Christmas like it did in 2013, which probably turned some people away from it's long term potential. Once it's gone, I think $150 is very attainable, if not a little more. That should bode well for those who got in around $50 or less. I've got a fleet of 24, and I'm kind of glad they didn't get flipped this past Christmas.

Yeah, that was the only reason I went in there. Happened to be nearby and had some time to kill waiting to pick up my son from practice.

Welcome. The best advice I can offer is to read, then read, and when you finish read some more. Also before you go on a buying binge sell a few items just to get a feel for the process. Buying is easy, selling isn't.

I have a strange feeling this theme is and will be a late bloomer. Money is there for the patient ones.

That's Fresher than some Yogurts I have in my Refrigerator.

Winning combo. I'd try for higher next time.

Waaaaaaaaay too many questions!

I have a few for you I payed $100 for I will sell them to you tonight at Walmart while we wait for the golden Mario's at "My cost" ;)

I started collecting Lego just recently so I missed all of the discounts. I needed the set for the Wonder Woman and Lex minifigs to complete my JLA collection so I happily shelled out $26 for it. I would have paid $30-35 easily. If $40 makes a good return for you six months from now, then it's a winner.

Yes, please don't make it a habit to question other member's motives.

I meant to get some more Arctic Batman sets but didn't get around to it. I'm really debating about investing in future Super Hero sets. Too much uncertainty with minifig refreshes and certain sets becoming duds. With this theme it seems like you really need to know what is coming out the next year to see if you should sell, as the new sets that are released might contain previous minifigs and that could hurt the value of your set.

That's why challenge was in quotes ;)

Picked up ToO, PS, ISD x 2, AT-AT, and Brick Bounty. The latter three sets will be flipped right away as I got a good deal on them.

should be easy to assemble an army of angry Scots armed with toilet plungers.

I really like those big guns and the bike. The jet is pretty rad too. I don't think I have seen a more perfect setting for those large skull faces than here.

Those that haven't paid yet need to get that done or will be dropped before the draft. If you aren't planning on playing please say so so that we can plan accordingly. If you haven't paid at draft time you are not playing. Please get it done as we draft in 4 days.

Ha, that's what I said. Where did yours put them? Mine put it in the back corner end cap of the toy section. Pretty much on the opposite side of the rest of Lego.

Are you guys holding your PEE long term or relieving yourself of them during the Easter rush?

No way am I actually paying to watch this. That kinda defeats the purpose of not paying for cable.

I'm selling 2x brown horses for $6.88 shipped from pick a brick. You can fit 14+ in a large container with plenty of filler bricks to keep. Nice way to build up personal brick stash. Have more pick a bricks full of stairs that are starting to move too Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Brickpicker mobile app

I got a very nice used temple of fire (2507) for $60 shipped on ebay

Did they say they were printed pieces? Most look like they have sticker edges.

"Marathon" sounds like a lot of good OLD episodes - just what I was talking about. So no surprise many people watched it. Ratings are at an all-time low. Why does a cancellation still seem so doubtful?

Since Family Guy debuted... 16 years ago? The Simpsons will go no where until Groening and Fox decide they're done. Its the toughest sets to judge future value... need a very specific cross culture audience that grew up with the Simpsons that also want their kids to do so with LEGO.

There have been many minor comments the last week or so that didn't really impress me as being fair and carefully stated. There was not one particular comment or person to whom I am referring to or I would warn that person in private. My statement was just in general, but served as a warning as well. I am the first person to crack a joke or be sarcastic and don't want to be some tight ass moderator, but everyone must understand that there are all types of people on this site. Very young, very old, all races and nationalities, male, female and somewhere in between I'm sure. It's all good. People just need to make sure they are careful the way they present their ideas and topics and that it will not offend someone. I've had my fill of some negative attitudes and will weed those characters out in time. People can constructively disagree without being nasty or insulting. I want to keep this site fun and friendly, which it has been for 99.9% of the time. That is all... :-) Ed
