My youngest son has been working hard on selling some of his old sets and helping ole' Dad to earn extra money for the last few months. His ultimate goal was to save enough to buy the UCS Falcon. Well....thanks to good ole' Dad and Offer Up today, we scored him a BNIB UCS Falcon with the handle and wheels on the box in perfect condition for $600! An awesome score and an ecstatic kid!! I'm proud of his stick-to-it-iveness. I wish I had that kind of fiscal responsibility!! Awesome lesson learned!!

Started Building the sets last month when I got a lot for $60 :-). This is the first year We will have more than just the train set and train station set up for the holidays. Work in progress!! Kids love it

Garbage truck is backing up as we speak. Maybe we can bury these in the desert with the Atari ET cartridges.

- i really had no idea what title to choose, feel free to modify it accordingly.

My son just finished building this, it is a pretty cool and neat set with a clever design. I, umm he, likes it .

I love the price but geez, 154 sellers already and almost 3 years on the market. I'm resisting the urge to go deep here.

These sets look great. 80101 will go a long way towards my Christmas Story Chinese Dinner MOC.

Lego is doing Jurassic for sure

Hey guys, I've only joined recently, but have been selling for awhile. Here's my contribution to this group. This is a general model, which I adjust depending on the set. In short, it helps me predict if a set takes forever to reach maximum profitability (top right), and if so, then the "optimal" time to sell is somewhere nearer to the center. Granted, the data points are all based on observed trends, promos, and overall "feeling", but it at least helps organize the prediction into a visual model. FYI: -The "cost" line is simply 20% below the price line - "Affordability" limits market availability to buy at current price, incurring longer wait times to sell Generally, it's simply a "quick cash / low sell time" vs. "high profit / high sell time"...depends on set of course. But you all knew this... Cheers!

It's also important to recognize that both PS and PC were at their prime while the interest in Lego investing was pretty high. At the time, the most comparable sets for post-EOL price comparisons were FB and GE, both of which did well enough in the after-life to justify rolling the dice on PS and PC. That fact led to an oversupply on the secondary market, which has kept prices down. Unless you think that people out there are buying as many BBs & DOs as they did PSs and PCs, they are not apt comparisons. I dumped all of my PSs and PCs when it became clear that they weren't going to follow the same trajectory as FB or GE and I haven't reinvested that money in any of the exclusives that are on the chopping block this year.

@ClintonjosephCurious to see how your first black friday went. Here is a photo of my pop up shop hosted by Green Road Pottery in Stoughton, WI. Retail prices on everything. There are some good deals in there. Come and visit and mention your a Brickplicker for 5.25% off (to make the price esentially tax free). Or just come in and say hi.

Picked up GBHQ in store this morning, knocked out bags numbered 1 and 2 this evening. Not going to rush this build, probably 1-2 bags per day max.

more box art pictures.. That Leia + Luke Escape from Death Star will be hot.

Ninja City Docks 70657 is 30% off on shop@home. Good discount for once on shop@home.

Only Asharerin knows

On a positive note, less room for sets to bang around and get damaged. Too much extra space = damage.

Probably no need to worry. I’ve had plenty of consolidated shipments with little damage.

Saw this last night, sadly wasn't blown away . It raises a lot of plot issues that hopefully will be addressed somehow in the next 3 installments.

I think we’ll see a Target promo and an Amazon promo. Or maybe just LEGO store promos. Pure speculation.

You should receive refunds on both should the items not fund themselves back to amazon. For INR and general adjustment I’ve found that in most cases that items are not returned and you will be reimbursed within 45 Days. you can track return for the fba return tab and it sometimes gives more detailed infinity and customer comments. i use an excel sheet to track all returns

Alright, I spent quite sometime musing over 75172 (Non UCS Version). Below is the row out of my spreadsheet with 1163 being the sales rank. 75172-1 Y-Wing Starfighter 2017 Star Wars Rogue One 1163 41.99 I loaded up my cart all gleeful, then stopped and thought about A Wing vs Tie, Kylo Ren Shuttle, FOT, etc. Began researching most of the current year star craft sets and there sales ranks which were really impressive. Star wars is still popular. Then I start going through last years retired sets sales ranks and they were just okay 50k-100k... I looked at the previous version 9495. 5 years retired and on FBA for 120$. My conclusion: Star wars sets are great gifts, they are produced in extraordinary amounts, there are WAY TOO MANY sets and thus nearly impossible to "collect them all".

Yeah if you bought the B wing at MSRP you totally must be choking. But if you were like the rest of us and bought them at what was the last decent black friday sale for 50% off in the USA ... Then, like me, made a ton more money on B wings than TH. I was doubling my money (even after fees and shipping) on B wings less than two years after EOL. Ebay right now TH is trending at $470 with free shipping. Not even close to doubling your money with fees and shipping costs.

I think you need a history exam.

Put Geoffrey the Giraffe outside and a TRU logo on the front and problem solved!

So who's ordering a couple pallets of these to distribute to us in USA?

Then Modulars will always have fans and collectors that will want every one to complete their collection or display. The Haunted House was not really a Modular IMO and many anal LEGO collectors would never include one in their "town." Modulars will have their ups and downs, but my money is on more ups than downs.

What's funny is that hoarding Modulars has become taboo. But the worm will turn. It will become very profitable once again. LEGO will not remake all of these sets and many will not be stashed in Little Timmy's closet in mass amounts.

Your brain works much more logically than anything related to SAH!

It's GO time at Kroger. Newt's Suitcase was an unmarked 20% off at my store. Picked up all the Stephanie's(?) Bedrooms at $7.99 - 20% off (60% off after holiday coupon), all the MF MF's at $7.99 (20% off), farm cottage suitcases at Closeout $15.99 (20% off), already retired Snowwhite cottages at RRP, and threw in the entire HP section. Total came in at $300.27 (there was a $300 in savings limit).

AT-AP from what I see in the pics isnt it? isnt the AT-DP from the show

Found a used 75055 Star Destroyer with all pieces and a 8877 Vladek's Dark Fortress. Picked them up for $14 total at a Goodwill.

I think this post should be copied under the "you might be a brick picker if..." thread. lol

picked this one up locally for $100, box and instructions are included.

Thought I would give some info on some trends i’ve been seeing in the store this past week, maybe help decide what sets to invest in: Lots of kids want dino sets. Almost every Dad that comes in makes a comment about wanting the Saturn V rocket. I have a used one on display and most people are amazed at the size of it. Wish I had kept more Wall-E. Only had 2 and they went quickly at $145 each. Really all of the ideas sets get positive comments from parents. Elves more popular than Friends. People have asked about Minecraft, a theme I only have very few sets of, I guess i’ll have to get more. Not much interest in Brickheadz. More interest in mixels than them. Most popular CMF is babysitter and banana guy. Also the skeleton trick-or-treater from monster series, but i’m sure that’s just seasonal. Other figs most popular are any random storm/clone trooper. As for used sets, many like the Indiana Jones sets, and mention they didn’t realize there were ever indy lego sets. I also had about 5 power miner sets that all sold really quickly on the first day. Once again, thanks for all the positive comments here!

Sold my last Tumbler on Bricklink for $250. Happy Day.

Sold x2 Minecraft 21133 The Witch Hut for $94 each. I have no idea why people buy Minecraft, or why we really don't talk about it, but in terms of buy in to selling price point, I'm hard pressed to find a better preforming theme for me. There are duds within the theme for sure, but my buy in for each set was $13.

Used CRAZYXLP's post from earlier and cross-linked it to some new data I found on B-Seek searching Wal-Mart inventory. Added SKU and UPC. Of particular note is what looks like the two 20th Anniversary sets identified (75258 & 25259). Also, some clues on the title of set 75236 ("R vs K" i.e. Rey vs. Kylo). Not sure if this is about Episode VIII or a clue about Episode IX. A few others in there, too.

This reminds me of the Micro Machines playsets out when I was a kid.

Well, the fans pissed by Last jedi are not butthurted, because there were unexpected changes. They are pissed because, the plot o the movie is **** and the everything happening on screen does nto make sense: 1) Rey as a character is a wonder kid. She defeats Kylo, she defeats Pretorian guard, she even beats Luke! With zero training. She can use the force and do everything right without any effort. When there is no risk and no cost in doing it, it is boring. 2) The whole plot with chasing rebel fleet is bullshit. They could jump out of hyperspace from another side, so they could screw the fleet between two destroyers. Or they could deploy TIE squadron to shoot them down. 3) First Order is weak. They are just a bunch of idiots unable to use the power properly. Where are unbeatable characters like Vader, Thrawn, Tarkin etc. 4) Snoke / Kylo story is too weak. The whole killing point is too vague and too fragile to be successful, or Snoke is far weaker than Emperor and vader was. 5) If Poe was told about the escape plan (why he was not, I do not understand), than he would not plan to send finn and rose to that casino planet and that would not result than into pointless killing of escape pods. 6) Battle on Crait is again military ****. Why the **** those AT-MT gorillas did not shoot down Finns speeder? How Rose managed to get back in time to save Finn, why she was trying to save him in the first place when this would kill even more people and finally, why the were not shoot donw by troops/tanks when they crashed down? 7) What is the opening point for eiposode IX? The movie felt like final episode, not the middle one, there is no open plot. And finally, the issue I personally have with the movie: The disgrace they made to Luke Skywalker and mainly to Mark Hamill himslef.Everyone knows, that Carrie was using drugs and being little bit crazy and that Harrison did not like star wars fans at all. But Mark Hamill was always the one visiting cons, speaking to fans, loving the universe they created 40 years ago. Then he was lured into this bullshit movie, he naturally could not say no to playing in it (because whole world would hate him) and then he was forced to play his life-defining character in a way, which he was not comfortable with, he did not like and he did not approve and understand. And he even did not receive any dignity in death on screen. He jsut passed away like some tired old hermit. That was ******* worst thing I ever seen on screen, noone deserves this. He warned us several times, that this movie is **** even he does not like, we should listen and never watch.
