I love this set. By far the most unorthodox building techniques of any set I have built to date. Kudos to TLG for Making it very sturdy. I am not sure yet how I am going to rearrange and fit this in yet though. I was hoping to display vertically.

Welcome to coinpicker everyone!!

Minifigure wall continues to blossom, hung today - Star Wars: Good Vs Evil.

Points are Calling is a $2 DB - Code: RUTHERE

Today is restock day in LEGO stores...at least in mine. Anybody can confirm restock in B&N?[emoji101] cause i am getting ready...

More significantly is that extra 15% credit for Amazon Store Card holders.

I'm almost done with the blog article. When it gets published, I think you'll be surprised at the final cost once all the substitutions are made.

BINGO!

I appreciate the mention. Everyone has a different business model. I was buying R2D2's at $125 and flipping them for $350 and I wasn't waiting 3 years either. While everybody was cashing out their 401k's to buy up Tumblers at MSRP, because that's what "the hoard" does, I stood on the sideline and bought up all the Imperial Hotels at $86 and have zero regrets.

I'd be wary of sending in 500 lego sets at once. These days it is very easy to get an inauthentic complaint from your "friendly" competition. A few weeks after that the bots come knocking and if you can't come up with the correct documentation Amazon can "destroy" all of your "inauthentic" FBA inventory (i.e. they will take it and sell it themselves). If you can't take that financial hit on then I wouldn't take that risk Also this year the sky high storage fees start an entire month earlier than last year. Personally I would send it small parcel delivery as it sells. Start selling now and ramp up as sales increase closer to the end of the year. This way you are not stuck with big storage fees and if something goes wrong Amazon won't have its paws on alot of your inventory and you can go merrily on your way to another platform if need be. If you must send alot of it in all at once then LTL is the cheapest by far. If you are sending it by the pallet to a local warehouse for Lego that is not very dense you are looking at around 15 cents a pound. Pallets take on average an extra week at the best of times to get unloaded and checked in so I would not mess around with them super close to the holidays but starting now it will be fine. If you use small parcel to a local warehouse you are looking at 25 cents a lb by comparison. I don't know if you are sending in big sets or just smalls but if it is alot of bigs then I would drip it in. If you load up FBA on a big set and undercut to sell thru then your competition will be more than happy to end your Amazon selling career.

Nice overview of all the so called leaked photos of the UCS Millennium Falcon and pointing out why they are fake. There's even a shout-out to @CM4Sci in the video!

(6) Apollo V over the last few days for $199-219 ea plus shipping............ Buy in for each was around 115.99 with tax. Seems the price is holding steady on these and even going up a bit.

Yes, 2x s....

That original message has "scam incoming / fruitcake" written all over it. I´d be tempted to cancel the order based on incorrect shipping address and block the buyer. If you don´t get dinged on the address, it will be a SNAD because the item is not received beautiful or because the item is hurt. How can you ensure that, as it is entirely subjective?

Trump and Johnson are probably major Bitcoin stakeholders.

obvious comparison is 21104 nasa mars rover cuusoo which was went OOS immediately and was chronically hard to come by in lego stores and spent most of its life OOS for ordering online . yes there will be a second run but that's already part of someone's botz rinse and repeat plan. scarfed up. same with a 3rd run. the question is will they mass produce this set for years on end like ecto1 where you can buy them in store in 2019? seems unlikely.

A few thought: -LEGO isn't making a lot off of this set so why would they want to be cranking this out for a few years. -I believe this will be as scarce, if not more, than Research Institute. -There should be at least one more production run. -If there are gluts of this set they will be scooped up quickly.

don't forget the mutton chops and shades for visits 2 and 7.

Kind of spoilery, but not really. Snoke guard FO Trooper AT-M6

I usually do it on my phone through the site and it is instant

Batman cave pod order was originally reduced to 3. Just received a "no ship date" e-mail regarding those 3. Yay! Oh well. In store on Sunday...

Recently, just some small fries: 30611 R2-D2 Poly x 2 @ $18 via BL 853651 Gotham City Police Pack x 2 @ $20 via eBay (These surprisingly sell.)

See above...........Ooops

Just announced, this line will be HUGEEEEE ??? Just wait lol

So are we going to ask for these before or after the game comes out. I just want to make sure I don't miss the next BP/Gamestop minifigure donation event.

Give BrickOwl.com a try. Their shopping cart algorithm is pretty cool. Plus, they will include shipping costs in the calculation (as long as the seller has set up shipping rates, but every serious seller does). And as you add vendors to the list, it will re-optimize your purchases across all selected vendors, giving you the best deal. Most BL sellers are also on BO, and with the same prices, so you're not missing out there.

It's an attempt to be clever combining Construction with Action figure

Based on recent sale prices this one seemed like a steal for being found randomly on shelf. I was Leary about the $25 price tag thinking it was a mistake when I saw the original $90-something peaking through. Worst case my son and I have a nice "little" set to build once he's old enough.

some Emily Jones ~$24 ($4) some Elsa 41062 ~$54 ($15- $19) FBA

Alternative sets

Fake News and sets have infected LEGO. Is there nothing sacred?

The $3 you get each month with a SYWR Max membership you can apply like almost real $$$ you have banked.

and you actually got what was ordered, a double bonus. I start the what did TRU send you lottery on Monday, have 146 coming in , should be interesting...

Found this today

Nice work, Fakey McFakerson. At least you spelled "Millennium" correctly.

Just finished this beauty today. I was very surprised that it took me 17 hours to build it, but it was great fun.

AZ CLAIMS Main goal is to defend and maintain successful business so: · Always be professional and maintain your composure. If you want to vent, punch a wall, use the forum or PM me · Only state facts. Amazon cares little to rants, accusations , and claims that can’t be proven · Use bullet points in your reply to AZ claim · Try to quote Amazon’s polices when applicable · Never refund an AZ without trying to defend it since the damage has been done already · Reaching out to a customer is up to your discretion, but don’t wait too long to reply to AZ claim other with Amazon will rule in the buyer’s favor · Make different templates for different scenarios , that way your message is always professional and emotion free · Read the seller forums every now and them · Familiarize yourself with Amazon’s rules and polices before selling Item Not Received ( INR ) : · Tracking doesn’t show item delivered : o Claim will be granted to buyer o Open claim with courier for lost shipment · Tracking shows item delivered : o Signature : Claim will go to seller even if buyer’s name and signature don’t match o No signature : § If shipping is bought from Amazon , from a policy stand point seller wouldn’t lose but Amazon has been very inconsistent ( make sure to quote policy in reply ) § If shipping is not purchased from Amazon, most likely seller will lose claim however : o Provide all relevant data o Contact Post Office / UPS/FEDEX : gather as much info as possible o Make sure to reply to claim in a timely manner. o If buyer is using a Freight Forwarding (FF) service, seller’s obligation ends once item is delivered to FF ( not to buyer ) Claim is fake/ unauthentic: · Seller provides buyer with prepaid label via Amazon’s messaging system and keep conversation professional and to a minimum · Seller professionally responds to AZ claim with facts without any emotional or angry references, hints, or accusation · Seller reports buyer by opening a case ( separate from AZ ) · Seller only refunds upon receipt of item · If Amazon refunds from its own pocket, seller’s Order Defect Rate (ODR) will take a hit · Seller to expect seller performance to ask for proof of authenticity. o Invoices from authorized distributors or manufacturers are the only accepted documents for the most part. for Lego this is close to impossible right now. o I recommend responding with whatever receipts you have rather than ignore it ( preferably online receipts ) o Listing/account might get shut down so always have a plan B outside Amazon o Invoices and receipts are not the same thing Item is defective: · Provide prepaid return label and follow processes outlined above · Seller pays shipping obviously · You can’t charge a restocking fee for defective item claim Negative/neutral feedback: · While not an AZ claim, always open a case and try to get it removed. It cost you nothing to give it a shot. · If feedback removal is denied, respond in a clam and professional manner to the negative. Remember by leaving a reply you are targeting potential new buyers and not the feedback itself. The following types of claims impact your ODR:Claims that are pendingClaims for which you provided a refund after the claim was filedClaims that were withdrawn after the claim was granted or after you provided the claim refundClaims that were granted, including those that were funded by Amazon, with the exception of non-received claims on orders that were shipped with Marketplace Shipping Service (MSS)The following types of claims don't impact ODR:Claims that were deniedClaims that were withdrawn before the claim decision was made or before you provided a refundClaims on orders that were shipped with MSS (US only) but not received p.s: those are just my notes, experiences and observations.

I'm loving some of these Vanity Fair pics.

I'm still holding on to my Haunted Houses.

You're looking at prices in AUD, not USD. Hope you realized that.

This is gonna be one slow thread.
