Picked up a large lot on Craigslist for $150. Unfortunately, no instructions. Sets were put together still for the most part. I've been able to identify the following sets. No idea if they are complete yet, but I was able to go through the large bucket of figures and find that at least they are all included for each set that I've identified thus far. Here's what we've located to this point: 3181-1 Passenger Plane 4202-1 Mining Truck 4203-1 Excavator Transporter 4209-1 Fire Plane 4432-1 Garbage Truck 4439-1 Heavy-Lift Helicopter 4738-1 Hagrid's Hut 4842-1 Hogwarts Castle 5868-1 Ferocious Creatures 7037-1 Tower Raid 7048-1 Troll Warship 7094-1 King's Castle Siege 7097-1 Trolls' Mountain Fortress 7498-1 Police Station 7947-1 Prison Tower Rescue 9465-1 The Zombies 9469-1 Gandalf Arrives 9474-1 The Battle of Helm's Deep 9476-1 The Orc Forge 10188-1 Death Star (Boxes 2, 3, and 4 are all still sealed) 10193-1 Medieval Market Village 21105-1 The Village 21106-1 The Nether 31005-1 Construction Hauler 60001-1 Fire Chief Car 79000-1 Riddles for the Ring 79001-1 Escape from Mirkwood Spiders 79002-1 Attack of the Wargs 79003-1 An Unexpected Gathering 79010-1 The Goblin King Battle Not a bad haul for $150

Picked this up today for $40 . Box is open but all bags are sealed with all the loose stuff.

We're pretty sure that's everything.

How's the resale market on those? Price tends to spike monthly.

I got my wife to pick up 25 of the Costco 2 in 1 super packs. She wasn't happy. Said I had to buy 25 boxes of tampons to make up for it.

Hi folks! I've been in a Lego brand store in Austria and they have following sets marked with a Tag as "retired soon" (Auslaufmodell 2018). The shop assistant told me that this should be mostly the final decision otherwise it will lure the customers with false information to buy the sets and that is forbidden. However, I took photos but I'm sure that I haven't got all of them photographed. Sorry for the bad pic quality but I was in a hurry. Here is the list: 10243 - Parisian Restaurant 10246 - Detective's Office 10247 - Ferris Wheel 21310 - Old Fishing Store 21312 - Women of NASA 71042 - Silent Mary 75060 - Slave I 75144 - Snowspeeder 75827 - Ghostbusters HQ Hope this helps a little bit?! Greetings, Infi

Today I tried something different and set up a Lego booth at a local indoor flea market that is held three times per year. I advertised on local Facebook buy/sell groups for about a month leading up to the sale. It seemed to drum up a lot of interest since many people told me that my booth was the only reason they came to the sale. I choose this particular date since it’s right before the holiday shopping season and advertised it as such. Pros...the sale was located less than a mile from my home, so very minimal transportation issues. Lots of traffic and networking opportunities. I had some business cards printed up and handed them out. Cons...lots of prep, from pricing research to literally pricing everything, boxing everything up for transport, set up, and take down. Also, the sale only ran for six hours, from 8am-2pm. Would have been nice to go to at least 4pm. My goal was to focus on small stocking stuffers to medium sets that are priced well for gifting, and it seemed to work. I brought a few large exclusives, but mainly just to draw attention to the booth. I priced my retired sets about 20-35% below eBay sold prices, and my non retired sets below regular retail, while still maintaining an acceptable margin. Surprisingly, I didn’t have many people trying to negotiate, as many realized my pricing was more than fair. I was a little worried about that since it was a flea market / garage sale type environment. In six hours I did just over $900 in sales, mostly the small to medium sized sets I was hoping to move. All in all it was a pretty decent experience, which I will most likely try again in the future. The next sale is in January, which I’ll skip. The following sale after that is in March, which should be a decent opportunity since people will be getting their tax returns and will have some extra cash to spend.

How's the resale market on those?

so much random speculation going on , I love it. Glad I still have one of these to fire up when needed.

Is Feline Doc code for something or an autocorrect? Sorry, I'm slow today.

Costco B&M has already started clearancing LEGO. 2-in-1 BPs down to $17.97 and Catamaran's were $44.97 (Pic will not upload) - 2-in-1s were 75197/75198 & 75206/75207

Wow, that escalated quickly. You guys must have a tiny warehouse as everything is sold out.

I saw a retailer catalog which provides the information that the DB is retiring in December 2018.

Done all 8 can to sell out dumbledor but my last order was cancelled cause I blew the limit on them . Didn’t even realise.

Yep they are disappearing. I just did a simple order: Ship in Bottle & Homer/Krusty. I also used 75 bucks in VIP points. Gotta curb my spending though... and sell some dud large exclusives. UCS im looking at you. What a crap investment.

No I didn't but several sites marked it as "retiring soon" (Auslaufartikel).

Following up on my request to Amazon to send me an example of what documents they are looking for: "Hello from Amazon.com, Thank you for your cooperation. We understand your concern but unfortunately we would not be able to provide the example test report.

Best haul I've ever had today. Got everything in the picture, including quite a lot of smaller unboxed sets, for £100! A lot of it is still mixed up in bulk, but I've been able to briefly look through and it looks like all minifigures are there. Can hardly believe my luck with this!
