So the department store I work at has 10 Rise of The Sphinx sets on clearance for half off ($25!). I was thinking about buying them all, keeping two and trying to sell/trade the rest. I'm thinking this could be a good idea even if I have to sit on them for a bit, what do you guys think? Is it worth the investment to blow my entire paycheck on?

Gravy Jones posted:Maybe sometime in the future you might be able to sell them for a bit more than that, but my gut feeling is it's not a particularly good investment. It wasn't a particularly popular line and there's loads of it heavily discounted all over the place now which suggests there's not much demand. Aw nutbunnies! My dreams of making a small fortune have been shattered before my very eyes! It is a pretty neat looking set though so maybe I will just buy one for myself and wait to see if they go 75% off. Thanks for the info.

These are awesome, I want all of them. I have no place to put them but I still want them.

If anyone lives near a Meijer they have the Mini Figures on price drop for $1.50 until April 22nd. My store only has Series 5 but other stores might have 6.

General Specific posted:-Master Sword forest clearing/pedestal from LTTP (almost any scene from LTTP, really) I actually made both of these once, I think I still have King of Red Lions still built somewhere. I made a really big terrible looking Octoroc too, also started a dungeon but didn't get that far before quitting. What about The Angry Videogame Nerd for the Lego Cuusoo idea? Or someone could put together a MOC of robots pushing and shoving people down stairs.

Pyroclastic posted:This is something that showed up at my local Fred Meyer. They started putting the larger sets in spider wraps at my local Meijer. I'm thinking it is more because people are stealing them and less because people are buying them at discount and reselling them.

Crotch Fruit posted:Wal-Mart's return policy is kinda retarded sometimes. Ever see a jug of Pennzoil with a broken seal and streaks of black used motor oil running down the side at Wal-Mart? It didn't come from the factory that way. That's less their return policy and more lazy employees not taking care of damages. I always check Lego boxes before I buy them to make sure the original tape that Lego uses is still on it.

Those boxes shouldn't even be on the shelf, they should be in the clearance section marked 20-30% off. They have a really bad employee stocking the shelves at that K-Mart.

I'm honestly surprised that no one is selling just the new satellite dish on ebay for $30.

Huh? anotherblownsave posted:Edit: I guess my overall point is, if it is a coincidence why is Lego offering him a free set to appease him? They're hoping he won't sue, and good on him for not suing. What? Gabriel Pope posted:Almost every single detail is different between the two I agree, they are both square and have a traffic light.

Not seeing it.

So whose design did Lego rip off for the interior of the Firehouse? I wonder if you can get the Ecto-1 in there.

So after nearly a year of wanting it, saving up some money, looking at pictures of it, and getting jealous of posters on this very thread I finally bought the Ghostbusters Firehouse. This is the largest set I have ever bought and the first I have built since I got Metalbeard's Duel for my birthday two years ago. This thing is pretty drat impressive, I plan on going slow with it as I still need to make room for its permanent spot. I really wasn't expecting numbered bags but it sure helps, so far it's taken me two day to do bag #1. The only complaint I would have about it would be the instructions being on a black background (whhyy?) and stickers. I hate stickers, I'm terrible at stickers, why did they have to use stickers?? Anyone have any advice on applying stickers? Or perhaps safely removing them and reapplying them when I mess it up?

Minifig series 26 is hitting store shelves in the US, got a space nanny, QR code scanned 6484923. I might pick up another one tomorrow, I really only want the M-Tron, Blacktron, and Ice Planet ones though. This was at a meijer for those in the midwest.
