I randomly decided to check LetGo this morning and scored with this 10221 for $60!It is super dusty but appears near complete (minus minifigs).

In stock 26 October. 79,99€ https://www.promobricks.de/lego-ideas-21315-brick-tales-pop-up-book-bei-ebay-aufgetaucht-mit-bild/69914

The amount being stocked in volume these days is not near the amounts made out on here. Way to many sets , even just the good ones. Everyone runs out of money eventually.

He has the most awesome Classic Space set ever. It is set #497. Here is a fun review from Jangebricks: .

Every Brickheadz released to date from this year is exiting by 12/31/18 as of now. Last year they all exited 12/31/17 with the exception of Phasma / Finn which were 1/31/18 but they both lingered through now (believe finn does carry retired tag). 1/1/18 releases exit 8/31/18 but are still available 4/1/18 releases exit 11/30/18 and everything released beyond that is 12/31/18 no clue if any 2019 stuff will come about. Stuff will linger though on all of them like they always have. Don't think any one has had more than a single batch made because they are so small. Everyone I checked was 1 and done. Gonna be stuff popping up all through the end of year as well as stuff meant for TRU is still showing back up. The easter and valentines sets both came back in regular LEGO stores and SAH as they were intended for TRU. Whatever volume of stock was destined for TRU will still have to be gone through at some point.

Ok , I’ll play . Over 300 of 76039 at $27 each

This is indeed the iconic set from the Classic Space theme. If you want to try and rebuild it or see if you have all of the parts, you can find a parts list here: https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemInv.asp?S=497-1 . If you need building instructions, they can be found here: http://www.peeron.com/cgi-bin/invcgis/scans/497-1/?ct=1 Complete versions sell for $175+, incomplete versions can go for 1/2 that depending on which pieces you have. If you sell it as bulk, you can probably get $10-15/lb or so. With a set like this, it may be worth the hour or two to dig through the pieces and see how complete it is. Depending on where you are located, I'm sure there are lots of folks here that would be willing to take it off your hands. :-)

$60 as in six zero .... sixty? Great score! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Promobricks say there will be more of them in 2019 (quoting lead designer Marcos Bessa´s Instgram). Considering the mess they made of predicting Saturn V´s retirement last year, it may be the absolute proof that the theme is done! In any case, stock levels and lives of these have varied wildly between continents - Finn was very hard to find in Europe, for instance.

They are so easy to store, I forget I have them.

I have the first wave from Walmart clearance sitting in a box in my study. Figured they were small, easy to store, and cheap buy in. Sent from my iPhone using Brickpicker Forum mobile app

Based on how much time/work you want to put into this endeavor, you have a couple options. 1. Re-list the lot somewhere and walk away carefully. Depending on what you paid, you should be able to make money on the sale. Someone like you will have the same idea or won’t want to pay for new sets for their children. 2. List on eBay in lots of a couple pounds each and explain in the description that they have not been washed recently. (Strongly discourage this option) 3. The most time consuming is to sort them by color or type and list them. (Strongly discourage this option) 4. If you are familiar with Lego, cherry pick the most valuable pieces(train, castle, airplane, and etc) and and list them in a lot on eBay. Sell the rest on FB Marketplace or something like that. (This is what I would do and recommend you doing since you are inexperienced) 5. Check eBay to see which sets are worth your time to try to build them from the 40lbs bulk and then list them. Next, cherry pick valuable pieces and create a lot on eBay and listed them. With the remaining bulk I would list on FB marketplace and let them be someone else headache. (This is what I would do ONLY if there’s a set that’s worth it.) ***I also take one more extra step, I would cherry pick all of the pieces that are white, any sand colored bricks (green/blue/etc), and a couple others for my personal collection. FYI - You made one MAJOR mistake, you NEVER BUY BULK WITHOUT MINIFIGURES. Those are where you make you money from. Unless, you know some valuable is mixed in like a certain grocery store?. In my opinion, most experienced resellers will choose option #4. The money from the minifigs and specialty pieces would be your profit and you would make your initial cost back you resell the remainder bulk. It’s quick & easy and most importantly you don’t end up with a garage full of bulk that drives your wife crazy, because she can pull her car all the way in! Good Luck!!!

So I found out my apartment survived with minimal damage luckily. But it could be up to 2 months or more before the electricity and water is back, before I can move back. The whole grid /infrastructure is gone. The people that do have water there have to boil it since it could be contaminated. Gas leaks have been reported. My firefighter brother in law is working full time. Like FULL TIME 24/7 on call, literally living at his fire station, since it's one of the few places in the area with electricity. They don't have water to shower, so you literally got like 30 guys in close quarters, on bunk beds, working like 12 hours a day just chainsawing trees off the roads, and wiping off as best they can with wet wipes. Eventually he'll move into working 24 hours on/24 hours off. But with the electricity out, I guess he'll pretty much be living at his station for a little while. It's crazy. My landlord who stayed had his roof ripped off as he and one of his tenants that stayed layed in a bathtub under a mattress, but luckily they survived. Most of the cell towers are all out, so they can only use certain brands of prepaid phones. I can't even imagine how long it'll be before the area is actually livable. You can look online and see aerial views of everything and entire forests were knocked over, hundreds of thousands probably of 100 ft tall pine trees and downed power lines everywhere. Pretty much all the stores/gas stations/restaurants/schools/churches are seriously damaged if not rubble. The only really intact are the really big ones, Wal-Mart, Target, Sam's Club, and such. And even then, they often had large sections of roof partially ripped off. If I had to guess maybe a third of the houses seriously damaged or gone. So looks like I'll probably be living at my parents for a couple months. They're going in tomorrow in my dad's truck to retrieve what they can from our houses and come back with our cats. It was a surprise. Everyone's in shock. Usually it's only like a category 2 or 3 and even then they usually weaken significantly before they make landfall. And this was essentially a category 5. It was like the third or fourth strongest on record by pressure/wind speeds and whathaveyou. Anyone in Florida knows you'll get a few each year routinely and 95% of the time it's basically just a big thunderstorm, strong winds and rain. I remember thinking it was ridiculous and a waste of gas, overkill for my sister to insist we leave, knowing we'd get back and have a few palm branches in the yard and all these extra cases of water for nothing. Because that's usually what happens. And when you do get a bad one, it's usually off in Cuba or Costa Rica or somewhere and it's hard to relate to just pictures. And when it's closer to your area, odds are you'll just get the edge of it. But everything came together like it does every 15 years or so with an Andrew or a Katrina, and it's a direct hit, it's a strong 4/5, it doesn't weaken. It's alot to take in. Just the weekend before we stopped at some yard sales, and a Goodwill, hunting for Halloween costumes, and stopped and got donuts at a local place. That exact Goodwill and donut place basically don't exist now a week later. They look like they went through one of those garbage compactors at the dump. And that's not the exception, that's the norm.
