Sabrejimmy Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 I'm faced with a dilemma and I need some advice. I'm looking to buy the Mines of Moria (9473) to complete my LOTR collection. Right now I could buy it through Lego for about $80 and get the Jor El minifig, or...I could also buy it through Amazon for $62 and save $18. Should I buy it through Amazon or Lego? I guess the real question would be- is the Jor El minifigure worth it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Mack Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Save the $18. Money in hand...as they say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimhammer Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 I think I'd go Lego. You are also $20 shy of getting $5 in points (those babies add up). So, it more like a $14 difference and I think the Jor-El figure is worth that. Grim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackjack Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Jor-El is only worth $10 sealed on BL, and he will certainly drop further. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimhammer Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 No tax on eBay vs. tax on LEGO LEGO Shop at Home maybe? Tax is worth more than $5. Good point. I don't get taxed for LEGO LEGO Shop at Home, so didn't even consider this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Mack Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Also, some people can save an additional 3% if they have an Amazon credit card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Mack Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Good point. I don't get taxed for LEGO S@H, so didn't even consider this. The tax issue varies from person to person. Some people do pay tax to Amazon, just like you don't pay for LEGO S@H. It really depends on where you are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anakinisvader Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 You could get at least $15 for Jor-El on ebay. Plus, LEGO LEGO Shop at Home may accidentally throw in an extra. You will probably get a Chima starter set from LEGO Shop at Home also as they were still sending them out a week or so ago. Amazon is good too. It all depends on if you want to save the $18 cash or get it in perks from LEGO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the real question would be- is the Jor El minifigure worth it? Another option is to wait until July 1, and get the free hot dog stand from Lego. I'd bet it will be worth much more than Jor El, especially for the quick flip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
