Casual conversation, like one might have in a restaurant in France?! (Just messing with you!)

New Leaks... Simpsons Lives

Can't I just have a casual conversation with a long time member about LEGO??

Homer Simpson and Krusty The Clown. Curious if BrickHeadz is going to be the end of the Simpsons line, or if we will get more minifigure scale sets? Time will tell. If we do, Simpsons House and Kwik-E-Mart will see a spike from completionists.

ok - lets break this nugget down... round and round: ferris wheel bank - brick bank? jokes on me: joker manor? which exclusive should i type up my capital in and lower my cagr for this year??? all of these large exclusives will be smoked investment performance wise by a $3.97 walmart dino poly (or say a box of 50) or the second chewie edition Millennium falcon microfighter bought at $7.

Respond with "ok" and then counteroffer $80

Silently in the background I have started to make major inventory purges. I am not "out" of the game, but my stash has gotten out of hand, and the bricklink store unmanageable. 60-70 ebay auctions for various CMF series, both complete and in bundles of 5-10, all sold around $4 each, buy in for most was around $2/each. Sold most of the higher priced guys on bricklink so these were mostly the stinkers just sitting in inventory. Overall, I would stay far far away from CMF (HP aside) as there is literally no market for them at MSRP. People wait them out and get them at $2-$3 each and smoosh out all the hotdogs, bananas, sharks, etc. FBA I mailed off between 1-25 of each of these sets. Most have been sitting there gathering dust and I dont think are going to "pop" at Xmas TMNT sub 79121 ($19) $59 AB piggy pane 75822 ($5) $25 (sent in 25 of these) Poe Xwing 75102 ($35) - $90 Speed Ford Raptor 75875 ($19) - $85 Heartlake Riding club 41126 ($19) $101 Water scooter 41000 ($1) $9 Deep sea starter ($5) $31 Raptor Rampage ($20) $160 Pirate outpost ($9) $40 Bulldozer 60074 ($20) $60 pop star bus ($19) $100 Airport terminal 60104 ($35) $170 Mirkwood army 79012 ($20) $70 Emmas hous 41095 ($20) $150 Mystery Machine 75902 ($18) - $84 Ecto 1 21108 ($30) - $90 FO transporter ($40) - $145 Pop star dressing room ($15) - $74 Arctic helicrane ($10) $90 Quinjet chase ($30)- $98 AIrport battle ($30)- $140 Heartlake lighthouse ($19) $70 Lincoln Memorial ($30) - $97 Tiger Widow Island ($18) - $55 Scout Trooper ($7 thanks WM) - $40 Utility Shuttle 60078 ($10) $60 Doc Ock heist ($10) - $37 mummy museum ($5) $41 duplo spiderman 10608 ($7) $65 Duplo spiderman bike ($5) $44 duplo batcave ($20) - $94 duplo fishing 10583 ($5) $50 will clear over $10,000 once Amazon takes their cut. Lessons learned are Raptor Rampage had better % returns for me than Raptor Escape Scooby Doo did really well, most people here have stacks of MM and mansions, but the lighthouse, plane and mummy have much higher returns Ecto 1 & 2 has much higher margins than the ideas Ecto 1 Duplo isn't sexy and isn't talked about here a lot, but can have incredible returns the "overdone" super hero sets can bring solid returns if the buy in is right (airport/quinjet) Angry birds was one of my easiest flips, buy in at 75% off MSRP real easy to make $10 a pop mailing them off in bulk I live in a smaller area, competition has increased from the local moms (I don't think many other pickers out here). This can be very profitable still, just need to know what to armsweep and what to leave behind. Nearly everything was purchased at Fred Meyer, BN, WM and Target. The inventory tools the WM app and target inventory are extremely helpful as well as making frequent trips to stores like BN so you get first dibs on clearance when it hits 50/70/$2. I still have quite a bit of newew inventory that I am trying to decide to let it ripen a little bit, or just unload it. Other stinkers that I have sold locally include some Tumblers and Ewok Village.

Found a lonely poes at Target for $23.

Simsons house and kwikemart are blowing away dead5, the stumbler, and moneycraft the village so clearly there is some interest. Would be cool to get some more mini scale sets. Not a fan of homers dome.

CL Sale $140 Buy in was $72 75153 AT-ST 75082 TIE Advanced Prototype 75100 First Order Snowspeeder 75050 B-Wing

I guess you are waiting on Tabbyboy.

you gotta problem with $5? more clues please. gives me a reason to get up in the morning. bounty is worth it? as in bounty hunter - slave 1?

Wonder how long it will take before someone expands this set to be more accurate?

I felt robbed buying them and only getting a Ninjago city sized box. Gotta be big Ben part deux

Getting Slapped by the Moody Staff ===||=============== BAM!!

Did some smooshing at Barnes and Noble today. Awkward because they put the box right by the registers, but the lady was fine with it as long as I found her a dumbledore. Went 6/6 in terms of finding (x2) Luna Lovegood, (x2) Potter with Invisibility Cloaks and (x2) Credence. Box was half gone when I found it so didn't have high hopes. I thought I got lucky and felt the two hairpieces of Percival....but I got "Moody-ied" LOL ?

False Alarm ... it's all back again....

i loved these but their quality has gone down significantly. I recently ordered them from same seller and found that they are more flimsy and not sturdy as they used to be. Notice there is no horizontal middle support in each rack. I have similar racks from ebay a few years ago (not sure from same seller or not) and they are much sturdy and their material seems more strong. To store lego boxes I believe they should do good job but just saying.. I put cardboard box underneath to prevent any marking on the lego box.

My bets: 90% - PR (first in time line of modulars), Holiday train (winter sets has regular EOL) 75 % - Slave (too long life for UCS) 50 % - Ferris Wheel (3 years old, but good for combination with carousel and rollercoaster), Saturn (Ideas set have short live, but this is a hot seller + next year is anniversary of moon landing), Fishing store (same story), GBHQ and Silent Mary (depends on the licence) 0 - 5 % - Death star (why to retire a re-made set after 2 years, while the previous version was here 8 years?), and the rest of exclusives... unable to predict - VW T1, Tower Bridge (they should be already dead for years), Minicooper (younger than T1, but it can jump it as Ferrari), Assembly Square (special life time for special set?), Disney Castle (it can live for 2 but also 8 years, since it is a special set related to Disney parks)

Once this guy gets a little more power going

FM confirmed Yes you need $30 food Clearance excluded Includes new sets, just got $90 off a box of HP and $30 off Hogwarts

Listing for a 75060 UCS Slave I for $50 on Craigslist. I email and they send a picture and ask me if I want to take another set as well so they can clear up space. It was the 7965 Millennium Falcon. I figure being the kind person I am I would relieve them of that burden. Above are the pictures they sent me. They are currently sitting on the floor of my car. Worth the 15 minute break from work. Since I have a 75060 set aside for me already, I'm considering making one a Jango Fett Slave I. Have to start bricklinking some dark blue.

Now I am no expert on eternal damnation, but I believe that such behavior can land you in hell.
