Friends Central Park 21319 with $8 coupon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07PX3X5WL

i did just over 30K in fbm sales this month on 428 sales. its a lot of work but manageable if you prepack the stuff you sell so that you don't get slammed. i use zone specific shipping where i give free expedited shipping to my home zone only - east coast - which is reachable using UPS ground or PRIORITY which is what i would normally send stuff anyway. i price at the FBA buybox or 5 cents below and because i am offering expedited shipping to the east coast, i am able to quite effectively compete with in stock FBA price for buyers in that zone. The surprising upside is that i get much much fewer margin killing west coast orders since they get the crappy regular delivery date shown to them. i can have my entire inventory listed if i want - thousands of skus with no storage fees being incurred. the only thing that amazon could do to make selling FBM a pita would be to charge a fee to have a listing active. i sent in my first batch of FBA since the small batch I did last june just to make sure i don't get gated. i get my money quicker with FBM. someone buys something i print the label and ship it - the money is there. i'm grandfathered in so i can get disbursements whenever. orders almost never spend more than 5-15 minutes in pending status unlike FBA where it can be in pending for days. with FBM, my sales and cash flow are like a spigot that i can turn on or turn off. with FBA its like i sent a mission to mars and it has to land and get there first before i find out badly they screwed up the intake and then once we get through fc distribution blah blah it might finally show up for sale or might not and then it finally sells... it goes to pending status. its ton of work doing fbm making the boxes and dropping all this crap off but it is pretty lucrative.

Pulled this 7739 Coast Guard Patrol Boat from a bulk lot and it's now 100% complete ready to be sold.

Space coin is coming out so still worth staying up

Thinking back on the Brickpicker's history of inappropriate set names/acronyms, I will always remember Escort Girls as never fully living up to its potential.

Oh yeah, we're all like totally mature grown-ups here. Ah, the days of Painting Easter Eggs and the Target Inventory Tracker. Good times....

Looks like "Gold" to me, maybe even better.

It's up now on US SAH. Just redeemed.

Space Logo coin available now at US SAH.

I bet there's still many on here that will stay up tonight just in case lol

I recently picked up a bulk bin of lego: mostly castle and pirates and was worried I was overpaying, but I wanted the pirate sets. It was missing a bunch of stuff, but fortunately a second bin was located and I bought that too. This was a great find. They all ended up 98-100% complete and near mint (horse bardings have all clips, no scratches, minifigures in great shape, most flags don't have broken clips, the worst set was missing 10 parts at one part each). Mountain baseplates have no marks, except for the pirate one, and that's on the underside of the "cave" indentation. There's not really any dust anywhere so these have been packed up for a couple of decades. Sets: Pirates 6246 Crocodile Cage 6261 Raft Raiders 6262 King Kahuka's Throne 6266 Cannon Cove 6270 Forbidden Island 6274 Caribbean Clipper 6276 Eldorado's Fortress Castle 1463 Treasure Cart 1491 Dual Defender 6034 Black Monarch's Ghost 6038 Wolfpack Renegades 6042 Dungeon Hunters 6048 Majistos Magical Workshop 6056 Dragon Wagon 6057 Sea Serpent 6075 Wolfpack Tower 6078 Royal Drawbridge 6081 King's Mountain Fortress 6086 Black Knight's Castle... Except it's missing the white feathers :-( Aquanauts 1822 Sea Claw 7 6104 Aquacessories 6115 Shark Scout x2 6155 Deep Sea Predator 6175 Crystal Explorer Sub 6190 Sharks Crystal Cave 6195 Neptune Discovery Lab Random Few small blacktron/mtron sets 6975 UFO Alien avenger 6755 Sheriff's Lock Up Few random creator, technic, sport, and city sets like coastal cutter. All have instructions, a few have boxes in good condition, a few have destroyed boxes. Some polybags are still here too. Overall, lots of fun ahead to finish building. I can probably sell the aqua sets and random stuff to get close to break even after buying parts on order. I get to keep the pirate and castle sets 98%+ complete for free and slowly order parts in the US once the pandemic slows down and the border opens.

Maybe it was a really bad April fools joke that backfired lol

If it's on YouTube and has all-caps in the title, it's definitely true.

Don't get them started on talking about their Dickens...

LEGO Architecture London 21034 Building Kit $31.99 [68% off]Dropped 6% on Mar 26 1:34 PM This is deceptive from Amazon. MSRP is actually $39.99 - 20% off. Just a heads up.

Makes me wonder if we could have used the T IT to track our Dickens and PEE and maybe our MILFs, too

think it is tomorrow night 3-31

As far as displays go...this would fall under "lame"

Spent the morning doing some boat restoration. Sails just arrived for the Flagship. I didn't appreciate the size of the Flagship until sitting it next to the Black Pearl. It's a massive boat.

Stuck in the 90’s you say?! Who me?! Hell yes! Pulled these from a few different bulks. .

Finished up the other two builds to 31079

This is an Australia Lego deals thread where you say what sales are going on all around Australia.

Finished up this bad boy last night. I’m loving the older builds/colors lately. Starting to notice what many have stated before, how the little parts in newer sets have become excessive.

wow, didn't think the second one would drop so fast. it appears there is a 2-week cadence to the drops. first was Sunday, Jan 17th and next was Sunday, Jan 31st. is it obvious that the next will be Sunday, February 14th? ps: for those on the "fence", wait till your favorite theme from childhood pops up. mine was castle. when space drops, some fencers will be singing a different tune...

ya, i'm all in.. perfect combination of my old castle sets with the interior detail that the current generation expects, yet we never had back then

I'm having no luck selling my two. I'm even offering it with the GWP lightsaber and Solo Keychain plus Obi-Wan 20th minifigure. How much are you dudes reselling it for?

I'm all-in. I have the whole collection even the foil packs from Europe. About 25% avg off RRP. People thought I was nuts when I collected the whole LEGO Batman Movie collection. About 40% avg off RRP. Look where it's at now.

Sorry to hear. I remember guys mentioning the "plastic bag" epidemic when Frigate shipped. Now it's happening to me. I've only been ordering smaller sets and everyone is coming in a flexible mailer consistently damaged. Game over. I'm going to miss the 40%+ discounts that I can only get on Amazon. Only hope is Walmart now. They're desperate enough to delay price match Amazon on some items and they still ship in a box, for now...

Do you guys think LEGO increased the price of these sets (or reduced the number, rarity, & printed pieces) because of the app feature? I feel like the quality of these sets can stand on their own aside from the app, but the box art is definitely low class for LEGO.

Normally I would agree, but there wasn’t even a packing slip included. Seemed like it was doomed from the start.

Thanks Target!

Did anyone else qualify for the free toilet paper? https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/lego-wrapping-paper-gift-5006008

As stated earlier, I back ordered. Went to my local store and just got it off the shelf. Order is still in place. Will pre sell the order to you for cost plus fedex shipping, so I can keep gwp and loyalty reward. Send me a pm before I cancel the order.

LEGO LEGOLAND 40429 NINJAGO World set revealed https://shop-california.legoland.com/collections/ultimate-legoland-bundles/products/copy-of-legoland®-exclusive-ninjago-world-40429-available-now-1 Looks really cool with the roller coaster and game of chance. RRP, but I'm pulling the trigger. Limit of 4...

I'm all in on anything to do with Pirates or Castle. I got my fill of Pirates, but I'm dying for castle now..

Exploration ship is out of this world. Wow. It's a got a helicopter, submarine, shark tank, crane, power raft, etc. Jesus man, the fun just doesn't stop. I rarely see City sell out and the eventual discounts might make me regret pulling the trigger this early, but I'm close, even weak looking at this thing.

Late to the party. Is the 31109 Creator Pirate Ship dropping today at 9:00 am in the US? Perfect addition to the Pirate Roller Coaster and Barracuda. Trifecta!

Ouch, I'm actually a collector. The boxes mean everything to me. I never even open them up. Does it make a little more sense now that I would want something for free on such a big purchase and collector's item? When I sit these boxes on a mantle to stare at the box art like a little kid, my eye naturally wanders to these imperfections. I don't know. I guess it depends on what kind of kid you were. Did you ever open a present as a child and the toy box was all mangled? Kind of a let down, right?

If SHTF, I can’t help but think LEGOS will be a store of value and a raw form of currency all due to their international recognition. Similar to how cigarettes and other “new in the box” commodities were used in other collapses.

What the hell is this? https://shop-florida.legoland.com/collections/deal-of-the-week/products/ultimate-lego®-iconic-housewares-bundle

It's on! Limit 1?

Don't do it! My biggest regret was cashing out points for a free bill and then literally seeing the Batpod come up the next week. I swore to never do it again and it paid off last month when I picked up 2 Mini Droid Commanders as loyalty rewards.

I regret not buying 2 of the Barracuda when I had the chance. Is anyone buying two of these things?

Totally forgot about this! I bought in early. I always lose in life, but for some reason I am God's gift to raffles. I will post my win soon, no joke.

I’m really stoked about this set. It’s unreal in person. Huge yellow box, pirates, castle, old school city folk, and a freaking roller coaster! I’m just a collector, not a speculator. Buy everything you can because dudes like me will pay crazy money next year. You get $40 off if you purchase 3 right now: https://shop-california.legoland.com/collections/legoland-exclusives/products/legoland-park

Totally agree. I'm burnt out on the licensed themes. Creator brings back the nostalgia with original LEGO creations and that memorable yellow box. I'm all in after the Pirate Roller Coaster! If they start rolling out Castle's...

Not concerned at all, quite the opposite! That was my initial reaction looking at the outside of the box, but when I opened it and saw that the one bubble was luckily placed in the bad corner, I immediately grabbed a random TLM2 clearance set, lit it on fire, and tossed it out to the wolves as a sacrifice to the LEGO gods.
