BrickTyke Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Yeah there is that one for $195, thats pretty bad to see. The people trying to flip it get lower and lower. Anyway, I hope it works out we will see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Y'know if you don't build, you probably aren't that in-tune with the AFOL way of life. You gotta know ur product. In general, don't buy large sets like this, or Creator Expert, and definitely not Star Wars! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read up on the forums but remember, the US market is waaay different to ours. They have amazon , heaps cheaper buy ins and a huge market to sell to. Good luck.?

whoisbiggles Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Fingers crossed I'll be able to nab some 60193 – Arctic Air Transport when Woollies decide to write this Xmas stock of at 50% off. Might even see some of the 60192 – Arctic Ice Crawler make it to 75% off. Woollies started their 50% off today. All the Arctic air transport- gooooooonnne before I could get there. Only 1 ice crawler left for a tenner , couldn’t leave empty handed.Coles doing the same 50% off their LEGO, found 14 $7.50 Christmas train seasonal sets behind some hot wheels packs. Hidden?? Not well enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whoisbiggles Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 15 hours ago, BrickTyke said: Ninjago City Docks 70657 is on Target Ebay for $189.05 ($350 rrp). Bricklink price: $243.71 min Its 199 but with the code PERCENT5 you get 5% off. This price is even way cheaper than the price people in the US discussed buying it at. 161 usd = 228 aud. How about it? Cons: - Ninjago - Set too big Pros: - 14 minifigures (with extra hair, double face etc) - highly detailed - made to fit with Ninjago City set - Australian rrp is $350, so 45.98% off - price per brick = 5.4 cents - The box is huge, looks good - Can flip it or I guess hold onto it Cons: Box - thin flimsy shiny cardboard. Price - can't see this hitting 2 x RRP anytime soon Buyer - Kids / Teens? Lacks shoot em up play value. Adults? Set too cartoonish? Have to own the Ninjago city set? Pros: You can convince yourself to invest in this if you are a believer. I'm bought into the Green Mech dragons and Fire Mechs from this theme and where i'll be selling them next year. Final thought on big sets like this - GBHQ bought for $390 (20% off at Big W, additional 10% off friends and family voucher, discounted gift card magic) and the box protected in bubblewrap looks down mockingly upon me, as I wonder when it will ever f$%ken retire and where will I find a sucker to take it off my hands.

Not alone there mate. Still have a Helicarrier and Ewok village laughing at me too. Live and learn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED-209 Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 I have 1 Ewok village left and it can stay in the cupboard for a while longer. I personally really like it. My others i sold for a modest profit. Only other UCS i have is a single TIE. I sold my other ones also for 30-40 buck profits each. Regarding the GB Firehouse, im pretty happy with my 2 slightly bashed boxes, but i managed to get them for that too-nuts-to-be-true Big Dub price of 200 bucks. No one can balk at that. Let's see what they are worth post-retirement. I still have at least 5 Palace Cinemas stored away, and these are edging 30% ROI. Not that I'd invest in modulars these days unless discount is very, very deep like a 240 buck Assembly Sq. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrickTyke Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Good news, I can palm off one of the City Docks to my good friend who has never seen a lego discount in his life and buys from Toyworld at full price. I wont overcharge him though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furious_george Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 (edited) Couple of brave souls listing up Chinese New Year sets on eBay already for “pre-order”. One seller trying for premium price but selling with no boxes. What’s with that? I’d think anyone paying $400 for these isnt building them. Can pay off selling pre-orders , but super risky. These sets aren’t even listed on LEGO Shop at Home yet. Edited December 31, 2018 by Furious_george Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel 1 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 George are you sure it will be available from the Oz Lego site? This is what lego said to me in an email: The available set for the Austrialian website, will be the Dragon Dance Guy on January the 1st. The other sets will be launched only in China, to celebrate the Chinese New Year festival, or Spring Festival. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alucard1982 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Few of us have had confirmation from LEGO & local independent retailers. I’m waiting on 1200AEDST with baited breath and CC details ready Couple of brave souls listing up Chinese New Year sets on eBay already for “pre-order”. One seller trying for premium price but selling with no boxes. What’s with that? I’d think anyone paying $400 for these isnt building them. Can pay off selling pre-orders , but super risky.

whoisbiggles Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Op Shop Boast: Early december picked up a 60l tub of lego containing mostly unopened bags for $75: Contained with all bricks accounted for: Assault on Hoth (no instructions no stickers and no box of course) - built it, was quite a good build a bit easy, and have started the parting out / resale process Classic Batman Cave (no instructions no stickers and no box of course) - all minifigs, batmobile and batcopter all been resold. Haven't done anything with the rest of it yet. Small Sydney Opera House (no box). - resold Jestros HQ (no instructions no stickers and no box of course) - done nothing with this yet. So far, after costs cleared $180. Target online offer only $129 for FO Star Destroyer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
