Here is one I built myself (now up on Lego Ideas so please support it):

Not great pictures, but they gives you an idea. I built this with my two boys.

The EAGLE has landed. The box is huge and can see this being an issue for those wanting MISB as it is like an Arch set easily scuffed/damaged due to weight. Going to build this one this weekend not sure about the other 99 Big thanks again to @Kenxxx for the DD

The hesitation is real.

just be happy the shipping companies deliver most of the packages...

Saw this MOC somewhere on the web and thought it was great so decided to recreate it...

In for three. Woof! Woof!

Down to 39! Bricklink...$51 shipped. These steam rollers are picking up steam!

Been selling a few things over the last couple weeks... Fallingwater - 300 shipped The Maze - 105 shipped (purchased for 45) R2D2 Poly - 23 shipped (haha suckers) Pirate Ship Ambush - 105 Shipped (this set kind of faltered... I did buy them on clearance at 49 at walmart, but I expected more out of it) Series 13 complete set - basically after all is said and done just got my money back Mos Eisley Cantina - 104 (another set I suspected more out of, but doubled my money so i'll take it)

B&N clearance is $2 today for those who care

Cool little build

lastly, i would like to mention that if anyone is looking at the "average part out value" of bricklink to decide and part out set. [ please be advised that you are in for a rude awakening ] pick up any part and look at its prices. let me give an example for a part that's in demand. black 1X1 https://www.bricklink.com/catalogPG.asp?P=3005&colorID=11 lets look at the sales in month of april [because that's the data we have for the nearest whole month] Times Sold: 681 Total Qty: 56688 Min Price: US $0.01 Avg Price: US $0.09 Qty Avg Price: US $0.08 Max Price: US $0.24 lets look at what how many were sold in 0,01 -> 0,05 => 2,839 [5%] 0,06 -> 0,08 => 29,637 [52%] 0,09 -> 0,09 => 18,441[32%] 0,10 -> 0,12 => 4,593 [8%] 0,13 -> 0,15 => 861 [2%] 0,15 -> 0,24 => 376 [1%] for a high demand part only 32% of sale is at the average price. only 11% is above average. and more than 5% at the range below 50% of average price. and about 52% sales are around 11%->33% below average price. take a look at part with high supply and relatively low demand. for example: https://www.bricklink.com/catalogPG.asp?P=4592c02&colorID=86 Times Sold: 286 Total Qty: 8253 Min Price: US $0.00 Avg Price: US $0.02 Qty Avg Price: US $0.01 Max Price: US $0.07 0,00 -> 0,00 => 16 [0.1%] 0,01 -> 0,01 => 5,440 [66%] 0,02 -> 0,02 => 1,750[21%] 0,03 -> 0,04 => 1,006 [12%] 0,05 -> 0,07 => 23 [0.2%] only 21% of the sales actually happened at the average price. while 66% of sales happened at a 0,01 only 12% above the average price. its fairly consistent that only 12% of sales happen above average price and at higher multiple of average price quantity falls exponentially. make what you want of this data and its presentation. so "average part out value" is not really something that one can make an intelligent choice. yes, it may be a data-point to go by but as i said before [ one is in for a big surprise if that is what you are relying on ]

Easy Vader Having A Break

So.... This set was not particularly high on my wanted list but I found this offer on eBay and was like, OK, let's try the adventure of buying a lot and bricklink a set Seller said that he bought 3/4 of the parts off the pick a brick in the LEGO Shop at Home. I think it's a terrible way to go unless you're buying rare pieces. Told me that it cost him 300 euros. Bought this for 95 euros with shipping. I already know that the minifig and the sticker will set me 100 euros. Now It's a bet on whether the missing part are pricey or not. I read intensely Brick by Brick, Breaking Down Expensive Lego Sets: 10212 UCS Imperial Shuttle post by @thoroakenfelder (Thanks a lot) and I know that the pricey 32 White Technic Lift Arm 1X7 Bent and 8 Light Bluish Gray 40 Tooth Technic Gear are included as you can see in the picture. If seller stick to the part list, 4 Trans Clear Technic Gearbox 2x4x3 1/3 should also be inside. I think the last pricey element would be the 10 White slope 2x2x3 Double Convex which most of them form the nose of the shuttle and the support and which I do not see in the picture I'll take the bullet on that. Anyway, I'll let you guys know how how it goes once I'll have my hands on it and did the full inventory Thanks again for this great community!

well no need to worry over it then

Me too. My gut says this is going to be a dog.

This warrants a separate thread - with fancy stock counters and sales ticker .....

You could post this all day long and no one reads it...

Update with progress on my first AT AT (used set). So far only missing 3 pieces, but I had two of them in my extra parts.

1. its not easy as it sounds. 2. its more than 200+ lots probably people with million parts can elaborate and explain why its a tough work & sell especially bricklink partout. [ while $ could be made but its a known fact that one can't sell everything in any set. even when i have parts listed for 0.0001 its a hard sell sometimes. ] its not as easy as buying set @ 50% off and dumping it off at 20% less than retail when everyone pounces on them.

I hate bricklink for not taking action against these practices. It is their fault this has become such a popular tactic among sellers. This should be a bannable offense as it is clearly a form of deception. First of all, you are tricking people by making the items appear cheaper than they actually are. Second, it is unfair competition for honest sellers.

I just got shipping confirmation on my 3 Caterhams... was getting worried there as other got their shipping confirmation before the long weekend.

That's a good point. Green Bay isn't "the hood" by any means, but I guess the possibility is out there. I don't actually keep much in my house. Most of my inventory is in storage a few miles away, but anyone who decides to break in wouldn't know that until after it's too late.

Consider the downside of people knowing your home address and that you have high dollar lego sets contained within. Even if you're a gun owner / have a great security system / etc, I just don't like that info being out there.

I'm mostly out of the part out business. I've had enough. By my second 100+ piece order for under $10 profit, I decided it wasn't worth my time. But there's always someone out their ready to make their first mistake. And I like to provide people with the opportunity, and point them in the right direction.

This set is a gem after watching the designer video. Beautiful set that looks incredibly technical...basically everything I ask for in a lego set, and it's right here. This fairground theme is getting better and better with each addition.

Party on, Wayne. Party on, Garth.
