Accepting loses is part of the business. Having the company you are working with essentially steal your inventory and not follow through on there own business policies is a whole other issue. I hate that I am saying this, but similar with the government, Amazon holds an extremely large amount of power regarding our inventory and they need to be held accountable. When people start rolling over and accepting 2K of inventory vanishing we are essentially working for the mafia...

Found a lonely Friends Roller Coaster at Costco for $40, may want to check your local stores, I'm not sure if this has been mentioned in the daily deals or clearance threads

Yellow Submarine 47.97 on Amazon right now. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Brickpicker Forum mobile app

Yep, I think standing up for your rights as a seller shouldn't be something that is questioned, no matter the size of business.

I don’t really get the hate tbh. Sure there were unlikeable elements (Leia’s space swim, the whole casino section) but on the whole it was a rip roaring space adventure in the tradition of the series. It felt fresh and unpredictable. I liked Luke as a grumpy old man who’d lost his confidence and faith. I liked Kylo killing his master to replace him (it certainly didn’t go the way I thought). I liked the tension between Hux and Kylo and how they both kept making bad decisions. The Force Awakens was criticised for being a tired rehash of A New Hope and The Last Jedi is criticised for being too different so maybe it is impossible to please everyone.

Prepare yourself, another EBay code for New Years Day. This will stack nicely with the Target EBay gift card from last week.

Season´s greetings to you too Trump has made a second career out of doing the same so no harm no foul. To give a proper explanationfor the prediction rather than just making a snide remark, both previous waves of Elves have had sets that have done well and other that haven´t (jut like most themes). The smallest sets have always done well so far and the biggest ones have struggled (unless you got a great buy-in). It´s not possible that all of these will be winners now the cat is out of the bag. Sets like 84 and 85 seem to be the weakest due to content and that has been borne out by their sales rank on Amazon. As I also mentioned, there are going to be difference between US and Euro markets and my prediction is based on Euro demand and supply. Let´s check back in a year and see how I did.

This thread has helped me come up with my 2018 business resolution. Find out which one of my liquidators has the bwi2 facility and buy those loads.

as much as i respect you and your posts my friend, this is a very weak one.

Sweet, in for some more TRU eBay cancellations.

It's pretty appropriate that your favorite classification for sets is "turd" since you're basically pulling all of your opinions out of your a**. ...and yet you don't let that stop you from concluding that a set will crash and burn.

No Offense Val, but violent posts like this help my profits tremendously. Thank you! Carry on.....

– 1968 Ford Mustang Fastback (75884) – 14,99 Euro – Ford Fiesta M-Sporr WRC (75885) – 14,99 Euro – Ferrari 488 GT3 Scuderia Corsa (75886) – 14,99 Euro – Porsche 919 Hyrid (75887) – 14,99 Euro – Porsche 911 RSR und Porsche 911 Turbo (75888) – 39,99 Euro – Ferrari Garage, Ferrari 250 GTO und Ferrari 488 GT (75889) – 99,99 Euro

New molds for the large turtle parts. The small turtle looks to be a recolored model from the Friends sets. Not sure it will have as much drawing power as the dragons, but should be solid if you get it at a good price.

Here´s a list to build on in order to sum up the most important events in the market and on the forum this year. Feel free to add any I missed. It´s in no particular order. UCS Falcon and Saturn V release and supply drama. Lego Group poorer financial results and change of CEO / laying off of staff. @TabbyBoy returning to the game (and leaving and returning). New themes such as Brickheadz, Pirates of the Caribbean (return), Super Hero Girls. Continued trend to wards bigger and more expensive D2C sets. Amazon gating and increase in scams. Facebook Marketplace consolidation. Chinese clone consolidation with paid MOC designs, Lego re-release of Taj Mahal. Gingerbread House and the power of professional influencers to create demand. Assemby Square anniversary modular. Death of Dimensions. Deep discounts and oversupply. TRU slow death.

Correct.

That´s why Fast and Furious is so successful. They make the same movie a hundred times over and just change the actors one at a time. The one time they tried something different (Tokyo drift) it tanked.

Build one of these Saturn V things. Very enjoyable and satisfying build.

There could be some playing around with stock to drum up business, but some of it is just poor inventory management and second rate technology. LEGO is no Amazon.

Saw these yesterday too but passed. Also didnt pick up the blue ninijago ship/plane at half price

3 configurations? Obligatory "In for 3"...

Heavy assault walker £59 according to roxio one page back.

I thought so too...

not much of a deal but walmart has new shanghai architecture skyline up for sale a couple of days before release for $47.99 (MSRP $59.99). not bad price for building. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Shanghai/628772294

As I have read, the values have been updated at the end of November, but the graphs are not. Nevertheless my portfolio has decreased by 10% so I think some values are missing ot are wrong...

Delivery from Lego today. All boxes in A1 condition.

Interesting summary of all TLJ Lego sets.

Be quick. 21127 in stock at Amazon at 30% off (£69). Good money on the table. One per customer.

And Finn

There were a whole bunch still in stores here last summer but now the well is dry. As mentioned, it´s a bit like Gingerbreadhouse where there has a theoretically high value but it is hard to sell for that without any hype. Buyers are likely to be expecting a bigger set and that could cause problems after reception. A lot of people are bundling them with the other baby dragon sets as a workaround.

Fortunately my local stores put this sticker on the bottom of the box, not the front. I have been able to get them off with hair dryer and Goo Gone, but it definitely takes more work than your standard Target clearance sticker.

I think that you are misreading why Amazon put the gates in to begin with. Amazon doesn't care about where Lego sellers get their product...Amazon just wants to make sure that it is authentic and that people selling Lego on their platform aren't scammers who will erode confidence in their marketplace. The scam sellers not only hit Amazon's reputation, but they cost Amazon money due to returns. Amazon put the gate in as one way to ensure that anyone seeking to sell Lego on Amazon is a legit seller and isn't a scammer. However, Amazon is also smart enough to know that there is no sense in throwing the baby out with the bath water so they grandfathered sellers with established track records of selling Lego. They did that last year when the gates first went in, but then expanded on their "grandfathering" this year by allowing sellers who meet certain unknown metrics to get automatically ungated for a wide variety of gated products. At the end of the day, Amazon wants quality sellers on their platform and will allow quality sellers to sell almost any product that the brand manufacturer hasn't instituted strict brand controls over once they have a proven track record.

Maybe I can use the time machine to change your order to a day when it's in-stock.

Do you mean the red circle dot tag? I had sent many of these tag to FBA without any problem.

Today, I purchased a copy of 41074 (Azari and the Magical Bakery) for RRP, found the set in a local toyshop. Also, I got a free 70615 Fire Mech for buying two copies of 21133 (The Witch Hut) for 59.99€ each.

The fleet showing up on Scarif and the use of the hammerhead was worth the price of admission for me in "Rogue One".

local Tesco is going through some reconstruction in January so they are fire selling everything inc Lego for 50% off, someone posted a photo in our Lego FB group so I rushed in but every exclusive was gone (they had Porsche, TB, BigBen, Par. Restaurant, Detect Office or Bucketwheel of what I remember), so I grabbed last VW Beetle and some friends Grand Hotels, minecraft Fortresses, ninjago Dragon's Forges and bunch of Louvres and Buckinghams

I don´t remember any great dogfights in the last two films. Airwolf had better combat scenes.

Perhaps a good set to shell out on.

There was no porpoise to that joke.

I'd be surprised if 41181 is a winner.

This is the only "bad guy" set in the current reveal. That should help its sales, along with another great looking brick model. The tower itself doesn't have a ton of depth, but looks to be quite detailed.

I'll probably get down votes for this one.

Why didn’t they use the big box?

New polybag spotted at Target. 30542 Cute Pug

You consider Finn and Rose romantic? They acted like fifth graders with each other. There was more romance between Finn and Poe in TFA.

Got "a few" of these from a "few" asda stores for £3.30 earlier in the year. Been selling them for about £30. Also paid full rrp when i found more kicking about in other stores.
