It depends what your goal is. Resale, buy a box. Collect a series (depends how much your time is worth and how well you can smoosh. For me, with either goal, I'm always buying a box. I can smoosh at home if I desire to make sure, and not have to be the old man in the toy aisle feeling up poly bags.

Welp. Wasn't expecting that. Just sold one on Ebay for 449.99...to our buddy toyscentric. Mixed feelings on that but being gated myself at Amazon, cany complain. 3 left for me... Sent from my SM-G955U1 using Brickpicker Forum mobile app

Better yet, If you're in the market for the Stranger Things set...

Can’t find the info at the moment, the parent company Nexon is “for sale”. BrickLink doesn’t fit in the mold of the company, Jay bought BrickLink, as a fan, which is incorporated within Nexon i May have misread the article, which was a while back, Until I can verify facts, please take it as an unsubstantiated rumor, should have bookmarked the page where I found the info. http://english.chosun.com/site/data/html_dir/2019/01/04/2019010401398.html

And today’s promo items at LEGO Shop at Home include a canvas bag and a picnic blanket......,? Strange days indeed.

I've embraced that this hobby is for me. I get to share with my son, but I own my own enjoyment. Out of curiosity, how many folks use a "make me move" style listing of particular figs/sets? I've listed a few things at a price where I'd be willing to part with it, even if I don't really want to.

Obvious answer: Death Star

That is partly true for sure. I have never stocked up on the big sets, but more of a "one of each" mentality. I'm looking at like 6 modulars asking myself, are we really going to open and build these? They are worth something at least. :-)

If you like that part of it, you'll do OK. I hate that stuff, and as a result have struggled off and on with feeling overwhelmed with my supply - what am I going to do with all of this stuff. You will probably find that it ebbs and flows. The one piece I would give as advice, is to just be aware of the "doing it for my kid" vs. just doing it in general. My son turned 11 this year, and he still loves Lego but is getting less and less interested in it....so I do look at a lot of the "saved" sets in my office and wonder just how many more we're going to open.
