aayla-secura Posted February 11, 2008 Posted February 11, 2008 I think he just uploaded the wrong pic X-D
ajaxsuperclean Posted February 12, 2008 Posted February 12, 2008 (edited) I think he just uploaded the wrong pic X-D i read an interesting article somewhere about price disparity between countries -- how prices in the US are sometimes quite a bit lower than other places (such as around europe) even though Lego is the "starbucks" of toys). do you guys find this to be the case? but then it seems great sets (like the latest castle line) comes out in europe before the US. like someone in the forums alreayd said, people always seem to dump that stuff on ebay, which tends to reflect the true market price...

snefroe Posted February 29, 2008 Posted February 29, 2008 damn! i thought of bidding on this, but 600 euro already is waaaaaaay above my head :-X :-X X-O X-O
SupaaSayajin Posted March 1, 2008 Posted March 1, 2008 lol 910$ on ebay and 700$ on bricklink that sure is ebay madness... btw i wanted to bid on that item, too
aayla-secura Posted March 2, 2008 Posted March 2, 2008 looooooooooool thats nice look : http://cgi.ebay.at/LEGO-STAR-WARS-7666-HOT...1QQcmdZViewItem
chris_austin Posted March 5, 2008 Posted March 5, 2008 Maybe this isn't unusual but the prices for these 80's MISB Castle sets seems so high given that they are only small "accessory" sets. 6011 Black Knight's Treasure - 1985 6022 Horse Cart - 1984 6035 Castle Guard - 1987 6102 Castle Mini Figures - 1987 1695 Treasure Cart - 1992
Cardinal Brick Posted March 5, 2008 Posted March 5, 2008 They seem about the price that Bricklink want or a little lower, but I'll wait and see how high they go. To be honest i couldn't spend $100 on such a small set unless I was very rich.

To be honest i couldn't spend $100 on such a small set unless I was very rich. Yeah, I wonder who the winning bidders are and what they do for a living. One guy from Germany who bought a medium size MISB space set from me for around $200 was an architect. Edited March 6, 2008 by chris_austin
BerndDasBrot Posted March 6, 2008 Posted March 6, 2008 this one is "cute": clickey "die Katz ist nicht dabei, hat auch nie mitgespielt, war nur neugierig" means something like "no cat included, it also never played with the bricks, it has just been curious"
natelite Posted March 6, 2008 Posted March 6, 2008 They seem about the price that Bricklink want or a little lower, but I'll wait and see how high they go. To be honest i couldn't spend $100 on such a small set unless I was very rich. well, 6011 has a unique part, the light gray chest not found on any other set. hence the high price. any rare and unusual part will naturally command a high price. see those samurai mf packs?
Hewman Posted March 7, 2008 Posted March 7, 2008 damn! i thought of bidding on this, but 600 euro already is waaaaaaay above my head :-X :-X X-O X-O You could have got one on bricklink recently from an exceptionally reputable seller for about $450.
MAH4546 Posted March 7, 2008 Posted March 7, 2008 Great price for what looks to be a great condition 6399: http://cgi.ebay.com/LEGO-6399-MONORAIL-EXP...1QQcmdZViewItem The sad part though, is in the description: WE ARE SELLING THEM BECAUSE HIS SON NOW LIKES LEGOS AND WE ARE GOING TO TAKE THE MONEY TO BUY NEW LEGOS ON A TRIP TO LEGO LAND. X-O X-O
goggleson Posted March 7, 2008 Posted March 7, 2008 i read an interesting article somewhere about price disparity between countries -- how prices in the US are sometimes quite a bit lower than other places (such as around europe) even though Lego is the "starbucks" of toys). do you guys find this to be the case? but then it seems great sets (like the latest castle line) comes out in europe before the US. like someone in the forums alreayd said, people always seem to dump that stuff on ebay, which tends to reflect the true market price... Yeah you're not joking. ALL of the star wars lego sets double or over half the price in england than they are in america.
mutley777 Posted March 8, 2008 Posted March 8, 2008 Not really a crazy ebay find but a truly rare one. Check this out. A real find *wub* .
chris_austin Posted March 8, 2008 Posted March 8, 2008 Not really a crazy ebay find but a truly rare one. Check this out. A real find *wub* . Yeah I love those store displays. Effective too because they always inspire me to spedn large amounts of money! The old LEGO catalogues (pre '99) were good at that
Brickmaster Posted March 8, 2008 Posted March 8, 2008 I've always wondered what happens to store displays at Target and ToysRus and such. I always think man, they better not throw those away or something :'-( I'd pay something for them, even if they are riddled in hot glue :-$ Does anyone know from any experience or actually asking? :-$

This is the first one i have seen on ebay (well star wars that is :-D ).

This is the first one i have seen on ebay (well star wars that is :-D ). I've seen quite a few over the years but I do spend a large amount of time on there! for all you LEGO Ninja/Samurai enthusiasts, either bid on this Sealed LEGO 6013 Samurai Swordsman or pay less for buy-it-now, *wacko* Cheaper Sealed LEGO 6013 Samurai Swordsman
Dadster Posted March 12, 2008 Posted March 12, 2008 I've always wondered what happens to store displays at Target and ToysRus and such. I always think man, they better not throw those away or something :'-( I'd pay something for them, even if they are riddled in hot glue :-$ Does anyone know from any experience or actually asking? :-$ Every once in a while, I manage to hit the local TRU at the same time a Lego rep is there and I've talked to him about them. As far as he knows, they are just sent back to a warehouse (can't remember where...) and stored. Seems odd, but that's what he stated when pulling out the Vikings set-up and hooking up the new (then) Undersea set display. They're not for me as the glue is too globby for my tastes - plus, I couldn't take them apart and redo!
voltio Posted March 15, 2008 Posted March 15, 2008 I scored a Deep Freeze Defender and extra 1990s sets for $25 shipped. Of course, the DFD might need some Bricklink parts order rehabilitation 8-| . I could use your help, however, identifying the little white rover in the upper right photo. Looks like Futuron, maybe? http://tinyurl.com/2sfl58
BerndDasBrot Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 I'd say it's a moc. There were a lot of grey "moon buggies" in the classic space theme. anyway: my first ebay deal: 6973 Deep Freeze Defender, 8856 Whirlwind Rescue and 6984 Galactic Mediator for 21€...! (no instructions though... I just thought I've topped you but that bubble bursted...)
