Caring about the state of a new LEGO box is also typical behavior for someone who buys to gift. So not enough reason to conclude "reseller".

I sold a freezing chamber no figures $20 Boba $10 Ugnaught $8.50 Han $6 Shipping was extra, buy in $16 at shopko

Picked up a sealed-but-damaged-box UCS TIE fighter for $140 on CL. Not sure if I am going to build it or what, but I figured for $140 it was worth it. Also picked up a couple Utility Shuttles on clearance for $5 each at Wal-Mart.

The fruitcake today was me. A fellow bought a loose Hulk Buster suit from me today at 1PM. I noticed he lived 7 blocks away. I hand delivered his LEGO at 1:45PM. Needless to say, his mind was blown.This is the second time I've been able to hand deliver an EBay shipment same day and I get a real kick out of it.

With the Amazon pre-order and some promotion this came to $2.47 tax included. I don't play video games or own a console but I am stoked about putting these with my Firehouse HQ display!

You don't need 100 feedback to be a top rated seller; you need 100 sales, $1000 in sales, and good metrics over the past 12 months.

But the answer may be different if John asks as opposed to Timmy. Plus, why make your own decisions when people here can do it for you!

Speaking of traps - I recall picking up a big set in store and the girl at the register fumbles and dropped the box, barely dinging up a corner. Not enough for me to care. Her eyes lit up and looked at me-"Oops sorry. Are you going to resell this?"

Haven't seen it posted. Here's TRU flyer for 3/20-3/26. Also dimensions packs are 40% off.

I was told yesterday by an employee at my local TRU that I am their best/highest volume LEGO customer. I don't know whether I should be proud or embarrassed.

Unless I thought they would actually go to $30 and I would be able to pick them up, I'd probably buy all I can find at $54.

I'm excited to get these. I'm waiting until Mr Freeze next month to fill my Microfighter collection.

I just bought them all last year. Prices have dropped. You can get some decent deals.

+1 on the edit, but it would eat me alive from the inside to have left positive feedback for some lame scam artist. In my mind the buyer has NOT fulfilled all requirements for positive feedback until they graciously accept the item they bought OR handle a complaint / issue reasonably. Getting their feedback first is the closest reasonable guarantee of that, so until eBay balances out the scale a bit, that's how I roll. Initial payment is so easily reversed, it's not much of an obligation at all, really. Besides, common sense dictates a natural back-and-forth process: Buyer pays (" I want this"), Seller ships ("Cool, here you go"), buyer receives and leaves feedback ("Thanks I'm good"), seller reciprocates ("Great me too").

Fly under the radar much?! I would cringe if someone at my TRU told me that. I pride myself on them not knowing who I am and want to keep it that way.

I think this pic was taken from inside:

I plan on leaving my phone behind. I kid I kid, we don't have Shopko. Actually, there's one on the map about 1.5 hrs from me, but it's in the middle of nowhere and nothing else is near it. I should look up the address on Google Maps and see what it really is. OK, something tells me this isn't what I'm looking for. I won't be making this trip anytime soon.

It also says: One coupon per customer AND Must be surrendered at time of purchase. but you know us...

Yeah, that's right. Problem is, I'll take the 2 from Amazon & some from TRUTH...

My math says $50.39 before gas, time and tax + rewards - gift cards, but who's counting?

Yes, we pointed that out the other day. Amazon might be a little better with no tax and 5% Amazon store card. = $50.83 Oh, and you don't have to leave the house.

Why not go to TRU, use the 20% off coupon and truth and gift cards if you have them. If you don't the worse case you get it for $46 after tax

Not too great, but Amazon has Lego wall-e at $53.51 (10% off). https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00ZSJMPLU/ref=sr_ph_1?qid=1458155105&sr=sr-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=lego+21303 Considering it's TOOS at Lego shop @ home.

Just wanted to say thanks again...

Welcome back to another installment of For the Distinguished Lego Batman Collector! Next on tap is a review of the three sets of DC Comics Mighty Micros: 76061 Batman vs. Catwoman, 76062 Robin vs. Bane, and 76063 The Flash vs. Captain Cold. Full disclosure: I was pretty excited about grabbing these at my local Lego Store. These chibi-style mini-builds are DC's version of Star Wars Microfighters and, as any distinguished Lego Batman collector might be, was excited to see chibis appear in Batman form. As usual, first the basics: there are three individual sets here: 76061 Batman vs. Catwoman includes 79 pieces, 76062 Robin vs. Bane includes 77 pieces, and 76063 The Flash vs. Captain Cold includes 88 pieces. Each retail at $9.99, and include two vehicles and two minifigures. Each minifigure has at least one accessory it carries in its hand, with Catwoman and Captain Cold sporting a generous two. Lego has really hit the mark with the Mighty Micros. They are a perfect cross between a collectible and a toy, working well for either a Batman display, or a simple, easy to build vehicle that will appeal to kids, teens and adults alike. The builds themselves are simple yet cleverly done, depicting a vehicle that has relevance to each respective character. From Bane's drill to Batman's mini-Batmobile, none feel like the designers mailed in their designs. All the vehicles work well to frame their minifigures. Speaking of the minifigures, these little dudes (and dudette) steal the chibi-show. Like the muted landscape surrounding the Mona Lisa, the sets exist to highlight these simply awesome figs. The torso and head prints, while simpler versions of their larger minifig cousins, are all excellent, and give Batman collectors and fanatics a completely new version of each character to expand and enhance their collections. Every minfigure is completely unique, with the only overlap of existing minfigure parts being the head gear/hair, short pants and Batman's cape. These bad boys (and girl) will charm the socks off any Lego Batman collector. They're simply amazing! The box art is also really well done, with the punchy brick depictions set on an azure background of a cartoonish night joyride through mini-Gotham City. I love that vehicle/miifigure pair comes with separate instruction books because it makes splitting the build with a child or loved one a breeze - one takes book 1 and the other takes book 2. No arguments, no fighting over the single instruction manual, and no heartburn, just pure fun spending time with your favorite Lego builder. On to the individual sets... 76061: Batman vs. Catwoman Check it out on Amazon! Given the presence of Batman in this set, it's obviously the anchor of the line. Batman vs. Catwoman comes with a mini-Batmobile and a Cat-Car, complete with a tail, yellow eyes and a carton of milk. The choice of Catwoman to pair with Batman is intriguing, as we don't know whether Batman is pursuing or being pursued by a love-struck Catwoman. It's up to you to decide the direction their tempestuous relationship takes... The Dark Knight shrinks! While this Batman minifigure is smaller than his other minfigure brethren, he more than makes up for it with personality. He sports a facial expression that should be titled "STFU", and his torso print, while simple, is iconically Batman. The only small issue is that his cape is a little too long, like Momma Wayne bought him one size too big from Target so he could grow into it. While Lego whiffed slightly on the cape, the rest hit the mark. Outstanding start. Even Batman's head print gives him the appearance of a questioning squint when his cowl is on - yet another characteristic of his personality from a minifig that oozes it. Not much to write home about the back printing, but I'm glad they included it as it does complete the minfigure, and let's the buyer know the designers thought of everything. Even the min-Batmobile looks good. SNOT techniques are used well for a small set, and while I would have liked to seen some exaggerated Batwings on this Batmobile, it's simplicity plays its role in keeping the minfigure the star of the show. Catwoman exudes elegance through simplicity. Her torso print is nice with an oversized cat belt buckle, yet keeps the suit understated to allow the Cat mask and head print to shine. Catwoman also has the best accessories of any of the Microfighters: the milk carton "chibis" the character by grounding an otherwise beguiling villain with a folksy carton of milk, while the diamond takes the character in the opposite direction by reminding the collector of her naughty side. Catwoman just looks like she's having fun, no? Great facial expressions bring minfigures to life, and this one clearly succeeds in doing so. Similar to Batman's, Catwoman's back printing is just icing on this beautiful cake. Like the Batmobile, the Cat-Car is a success but for very different reasons. The cat eyes give this vehicle life, and let their owners know this set contains three figures, not two. The printing on this specific piece is great, too. It's good to see Lego taking a chance with brick prints on non-tile pieces as these eyes will be useful for all sorts of MOCs. And last but not least, the tail is the perfect "end" to a great vehicle and a great little set. 76062: Robin vs. Bane Check it out on Amazon! This set pits the Boy Wonder in his Robin-mobile against the evil Bane in his driller. Batman Lego fanatics should recognize Lego's fascination with pairing Bane and some type of drilling vehicle as Bane's get-up mimics the pair from 6860 The Batcave. Robin's car feels a little like a failed Batman prototype painted In red, yellow and green. This set, while not as intriguing as the Batman vs. Catwoman set, more than makes up for it with punchy bursts of color that make this set pure eye candy. Robin looks like he's having the time of his life! Bane? Not so much... The Robin minifigure is my favorite of the DC Comics series. Colorful and fun, this awesome mini deserves to be appreciated. With a great cape, great printing, a neat red megaphone gun with grappling hook, and a playful grin, it's phenomenal. Back printing is simple but satisfying - it provides the minifigure some interest when the wind takes sail. The Robin-mobile is slightly disappointing. It's kind of a shapeless car with a spoiler, but the spoiler has a great "R" print with Robin's emblem. It's the saving grace for an otherwise bland build. Another quality minifigure, Bane looks great. The head printing is awesome with some mean red eyes on a stylized white field that manages to give the impression of Bane's mouth gear. Bane's facial features make him look mean without being scary. His torso print is also great: a clever combination of the B and the red belt buckle creates a sudden exclamation point, letting all good-guy chibis know he means business! The rest of the torso print is nice with the ubiquitous super hero six pack and a very 50's nuclear era belt rounding out the graphics. All in all, another great fig. Bane's back printing keeps the hitz coming. His signature venom bottle and cranial dispenser look really sharp and true to the character. Bane's driller is good, but not great. The drill feels a little too long for the vehicle, but the driller's color the flaming exhaust pipes look great. Even the headlight look like it belongs. In the end, the driller is still worthy of its owner. 76063: The Flash vs. Captain Cold Check it out on Amazon! A very interesting choice of DC characters, The Flash vs. Captain Cold doesn't have have anywhere near the stature of Superman or Wonder Woman who,were skipped in this iteration. Perhaps that bodes will for a Series 2...I can only hope! That said, this set continues the strong run of the DC Mighty Micros with another great pair of minifigures and their vehicles. Even though Captain Cold and The Flash aren't as widely recognized as other DC characters, their pairing is smart as they are nemeses in the DC universe. Both figs sport nicely designed vehicles that work well with their themes: Captain Cold is riding a snow plow, while The Flash drives a turbo charged go kart. By now I probably sounding like an echo, but The Flash minifigure looks great (great, great). His signature head mask is the same as the other Flash characters, but everything else is new: his head, torso and even his Power Bolt energy drink. The Flash minifigure wears a small, wry smile and has really sharp torso print complete with The Flash logo and a couple of sporty lightning bolts that point to his...pants thrown in for good measure. The Flash's accessory, his Power Bolt energy drink, is another playful bit of bling that gives the manic Flash a bit more personality. With his head gear off, the flash shows off those eery white saucers. The front lightning bolts are reflected on the back, and point directly at his behind. The Flash sure knows how to draw attention to those parts that pay the bills. I actually really like The Flash's go kart. It has nice lines and two fire trail pieces that were previously used as Ninjago sword blades. To complete the set, an excellent printed 1x2 cheese wedge with The Flash's logo is emblazoned on the front like a hood ornament. A great effort by the designers. The Captain Cold minifigure is a nice effort too, but I can't say it's the best of the group. His torso print is good but not great with the graphics showing an overly stylized fur-lined parka that doesn't quite look right. It does convey a bit of a feel of icicles to enhance the cold weather motif. The head printing looks good, but his hood is a holdover from the first iteration of Captain Cold, and while it works it's still a repeat. Taking off the hood reveals a head print that looks the same as when it was on the minfigure. Not much of a surprise here... The Captain's back printing matches the front printing. I really appreciate the back printing on all of these minfigures. The extra detail really round out already great minifigures. Captain Cold's printing is no different. The Captain's snow plow is really well designed as the shape, while still exaggerated, is easily recognized as a plow. The front plow blade can also double as Captain Cold's snowboard when winter storm Captain blows through. The small details of plow front grill and the single smoke stack are two cherries on the sundae. Comparisons Since every Mighty Micro minifigure is packed with personality, I wanted to see how they compared to other minifigures of the same character. Here's a side-by-side comparsion of the Mighty Micros next to their older brethren: Incredibly, I like the Mighty Micro Batman better - the black pants look really sharp with the dark bluish gray torso, and it's "WTF" expression is better than the gritting teeth of the regular minifigure who looks like he's trying to chew gravel. Catwoman is nearly a carbon copy down to the zipper and belt pattern. However, the original is a little shapelier. The Micro has a better belt buckle - advantage: Mighty Micro. The Robins are similar too, although I can't say enough about the facial expression of the Micro - so happy! In this case, it's Lego Batman collectors FTW. You'll have to excuse my headless Bane - my son decided to put it on another minifigure, so now you can't tell whether the headless minfigure is Bane or WWE's Kane. All that said, I actually prefer the Mighty Micro version - the exclamation point B is awesome as is his 50's era nuclear belt. The Flash minifigures are really similar, although the Mighty Micro has those goofy white eyes and lightning pointing to the crotch. I would probably take the original, although they're both great figs. The Captain Cold minfigures are pretty close too, although I would probably pick the original for the better looking fur neckline and outstanding faceprint. That said, the ice cream cone is a nice touch. As anyone can tell by the review, I love these Mighty Micros. They're cute, whimsical, and playful. They make for great play pieces or display pieces. And above all else, they really look great. For the Distinguished Lego Batman Collectors, the DC Comics Mighty Micros are must haves!

You can sell a Mega Bloks lot. A lot of parents either have no clue there is a difference or they really don't care. (Edited to say, of course make sure you say it is Mega Bloks not Lego, but to many parents, they are the same thing kind of like Kleenex and tissues.) If I have enough gathered from bulk lots, I'll sell a bag of Mega Bloks or donate them to a place where parents who can't afford birthday and Christmas gifts for their kids can pick up stuff for free. The broken or really badly bitten up pieces get trashed. Lightly bitten pieces go in the Mega Bloks lot or in my collection.

From my local Wal-Mart clearance section 2 of 41091 @ $4 each 5 of 41076 @ $4 each 2 of 41089 @ $1 each (damaged box) 1 of 41088 @ $1 (damaged box) 3 of 41026 @ $5 each 2 of 41033 @ $5 each

I'm guessing he didn't buy 7 Heartlake Malls at various clearance prices ranging between $54 & $79...

You expected waaay too much from TRU At least he got a cancellation email as courtesy

I'm not a huge fan of the shorter minifig legs, but I understand the requirement here. Thanks for the write up.

All threads lead to the bubble thread

Great review. I love these sets. Bought a few the other day for my son. He loves them as well.

Yeah, I'm logged in!

Often times no activity in certain threads is the best that can happen.

At 2:15 he filed INR, at 3:45 Paypal sided with him and refunded the buyer. (It is fun to pull off local same-day delivery. But don't do it for an xBox.)

Lol You mean YOU can get some decent (ancient) deals

I agree with you. I couldn't care less about whether I get feedback or not. Perhaps the main reason is probably b/c I have almost 3K but even if I didn't, I would not put much thought into it. My priority is getting my buyers what they paid for packaged professionally and in a timely manner. Feedback doesn't earn me any more profit. I have never asked a buyer to leave feedback b/c I always heard early in my selling career that asking for it might get you feedback you were not looking for. Since it is completely voluntary, I don't want to be asked as a buyer or seller to leave feedback. If I get the urge to, then I do, but otherwise I don't think about it. Just my two cents.

Sometimes when things don't go well with a transaction (due to a seller being new, or while having good intentions, shows poor judgment), I feel it is much more reasonable to not leave a feedback, than it would be to leave a negative or neutral (and damage their reputation).

Rumored choices for the title: - Indiana Jones and the Walker of Doom - Indiana Jones and Disco Inverno (this gotta be set in the 60s right?) - Indiana Jones and the Labyrinth of HMOs - Indiana Jones and the Crystal Bell-Bottoms - Indiana Jones and the Afro of Domination - Indiana Jones and the Dentures of Destruction - Indiana Jones and the Bionic Hips and Knees - Indiana Jones and the Aftereffects of Receiving Nuclear Blast at Point Blank Range

Good work Brickpickers. That listing has been on for a week. Post it on here, removed within 30 mins.

Sounds like you made a sale to some crusty old brickpicker. I often follow up in a similar fashion, and these clowns clearly don't care enough bout feedback to just act decent, so they don't get mine. I certainly can live without theirs as well.

Firstly, welcome to BrickPickers and thanks for posting your question in the right forum. Now, to the matter of that bulk lot.... Run, run, run. That's a big ole pile of crap there. Those base plates are mega blocks.To have that many means that bin is loaded with mega blocks. https://www.google.fr/search?q=mega+bloks+base+plate&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwj-qvvHn8LLAhWBVBoKHdULCA8Q_AUICCgC&gws_rd=cr&ei=TsTnVrO1DIPWU7veqpAE I do see some genuine LEGO in there, but not enough to say it's all genuine LEGO underneath. If it was, the seller would have taken better pictures for the ad.

Awesome review and no doubt planning to get them all. Just wondering if you were to use Batman's mask on other mighty micros will they match up to give different expressions? I can just imagine the fun with that.
