  5. Been looking to build a UCS AT-AT for awhile but Moc's have been too expensive with their rare parts, until the one Raskolnikov built. It's a great looking model. I have changed a few pieces and will be getting some 2x2 round tiles to put in a few places. Sorry for poor phone photo.

  7. Basically this question has been asked at least 20 times before with hopes of people sending PMs to try and sell their stock. You already have a FREE. Let me say that again FREE site called Brick Classifieds. You are already saving 10+ % on your commission fees. Take off that 10% savings of your items and spend a day or two or five and load up the site and make deals with people. If you limit it to a big bulk sale, you are cutting your changes to a very small portion. Very few people are giong to have 10/20/30+ thousand to offer depending on what you have. A while back someone sold like 19k worth of lego in like 2 weeks. Saved thousands on commissions. Just be ready to made a deal that works for you and it will go. Take advantage of Brick Classifieds now. It is moving and it may not be FREE much longer.

  11. I sell plenty of damaged boxes just 5 percent less. Sometimes I totally ditch the box sell 5-10 percent less put it in a flat rate box and end up making more. I sold scooby light house that way. It fit in a $6.30 flat rate padded envelope without the box. I listed $5 less than others and shipping with box would have been $12 so I ended up saving $2.00 with no box

  12. I call this my "poor man's temple" My son received Tiger widow Island and dojo Showdown (70756) for Christmas. We're throwing a ninja themed birthday for him tomorrow and my wife wanted a Center piece. So I looked through my inventory, but I didn't have any thing large or nice enough. So I decided to MOC one using what we had. Not bad for 15 min worth of work.

  15. So I just returned this afternoon from a 10 day business trip. When I left I put all my BL inventory in the "stockroom", except a Super Lot of The Ghost & The Phantom that stayed up for some reason. During the ten days I received 3 shipping quote requests: Canada, Findland, and Washington, after having no previous interest except people trying to get me to sell just the Phantom. Well upon returning today I got the formal quotes out and Canada snatched it up. I think this is my first quote request that actually got accepted. $200 plus shipping for the pair. Been a good day.

  18. It was sold as "New in distressed box". I assume the seller felt they could take some liberty in shipping it since it was already "distressed". I paid $220 for it and am going to build it, so I'm not stressing over it. Just surprised they put a half-@ss effort in conceiling the contents. I assume they ran out of kraft paper or they wanted the UPS guy to know that he was carrying something valuable, so he should treat it with extra care.

  25. Another UCS set to add to the collection. Not universally appreciated due to it not instantly being a winner from a investment perspective but a great build and definently a classic Star Wars ships that is universally recognised and Lego have done a good job in recreating.

  26. I will most likely hold these forever, if you ever wanted them back, let me know, as I understand tough times.

  27. Well that´s the thing, though. Right now you kind of want to hold off buying because the prices just get lower and lower the more you wait. Practically all the stuff I got pre xmas in the Tesco and other doorbuster sales is all much cheaper now and still isn´t selling out. It really is deflation and I guess a lot of shops won´t order so much this xmas as they have lost money for sure. Never mind Nexo at a permanent 40-50% off when there are CITY Police, Fire and Volcano flagships for less than 40 euros, Airshow for 20, IST´s for 49, Misfortune´s Keep for 30, Blue X Wings for 50, it´s hard to keep up.

  28. @njsealeJust my two bits... I recently got a craigslist offer for about $15,000 on most of my inventory. At that pricing, the buyer could have flipped it all for about 10% "instant" profit (....well, maybe in a month or two, depending on his selling platforms). We went 'round and 'round with details etc, until it became clear he could only pay via Paypal. Of course, Paypal doesn't cover that with buyer / seller protection. A Paypal rep told me that it is possible for a dishonest person with a Paypal account funded by Amex to make that kind of purchase, then call Amex the next day and say the purchase was unauthorized, merchandise didn't arrive, was fake, etc, and get the money clawed back. Now you might win that in a fight but... who wants to fight? Basically, the only way to do that kind of sale is with cashiers check (that you witnessed being written) or cash. In the end, we had no deal. I'm guessing that a real "whale" (one who actual has $15,000 to spend) would probably want to give me more of a haircut the joker I was talking to. Maybe 20% off? So anyway... with renewed selling attitude I went back to eBay (reading some of the selling on Amazon thread, you'll find that Amazon is not the place to be selling high dollar sets right now). On eBay, I've found you can move product pretty quickly at a fair price. I also love BrickClassifieds and am "double-listing" some items there at better discounts. My point is, like you, I was hoping to move all this stuff without the work. And I was willing to lose $1500... (maybe $2000?) to do it that way. But now I'm finding that... willing to take the going rate or a little bit less... I can move 10 or 20 sets a week. And at this rate, I should be able to move it all by the end of the year. Yeah it's a little work, but now the cash is rolling in, it feels great.

  32. This theme best shows the effect that the horde of "min-emazers" had on overall LEGO investment performance. Everyone started piling in on the large exclusives (which have not performed so well), and started ignoring the small/medium sets (which comparatively, have done so much better)

  42. But nothing surprises me anymore with Lego. What a wondrous set the Dark Tower would be. Imagine this, the first set with multiple/glowing light bricks! Lava bricks around, a Gollum falling into the pit with ring feature! If Lego can make a Sally Ride minifigure, THREE Cate Blanchett minifures (Hela coming soon) and a One-Eyed Willy skeleton organ, anything is possible!

  43. this is why i always ask sellers upfront to 1) ship used sets w/ box and 2) new sets w/ damaged or opened boxes in a shipping box. at $220 for a Helicarrier, i wouldn't even care about the retail box if shipping was free. side note: shipping these huge sets are such PITA so i just usually sell them w/o the useless retail box. plus i then don't deal with retail box condition sensitive people.

  44. I don't know about the comics last the early 90s either, but in the Toby movie trilogy he's a returning villain that actually plays a significant role in the maturation of Spider-Man. You end up feeling sorry for the guy. I think he helped with a robbery because he couldn't afford the cancer treatments for his daughter. Then he accidentally got transformed into the sandman. Daughter's still sick, he's a wanted freak, so he starts robbing armored cars. Not out of greed, but to pay for the treatments because the insurance companies won't cover her because she's sick and the hospitals wong take her because she's not insured. The whole point of course is to make you wonder, who's really the bad guy?

  46. Used 8088 ARC-170 for $60. Part of a large lot I bought from a teenager for $200 early last year. I'm well into the profit after selling off about 75% of it. Mostly large Ninjago sets left: Destiny, Epic, and Garmadon Fortress and then a couple Alien Conquest that I haven't checked for completeness yet. I did have to put about $200 in parts, as almost every set was missing some pieces including some pretty expensive figures, like Skales.
