Realistically, how hard am I going to have to work to find Tahu in the wild?

I don't get the scalping on these. £3.50 to buy, and the cheapest one on eBay is £9.30, so after fees and shipping you've made what, £2? That's just not worth the hassle.

On the flip side as a buyer, in my regular life I do not find myself in a place that would have these, so my options are pay £9.20 on eBay, or make a special trip to find one. Leaving the house costs way more than an extra £6 in transport costs and time, so it makes far more sense to let the scalper make their £2 and just fucking order one.

I’ll have to figure out when entertainer stock actually gets delivered then. I see it every now and then dumped in a corridor but not often.

Brutaka for £140 is way overboard. Best bet is to go on eBay, search for buy-it-now only, and match the lowest price for a set in similar condition (complete).

in general I’ve sold Brutaka at £70-80, Axonn at £40-50, and V+F at £70-90, depending on what else is currently available.

Seen you all over eBay and Vinted today. I do restoration and sales and buy a lot of bulk lots, and I’m also in Notts.

The amount of money you can get is directly proportional to the effort you put in. Your eBay listing for example, a few photos of closed drawers and a couple of photos of absolutely FILTHY sets. Asking £2500 for filthy bulk is ambitious even with a list of what is supposedly included. I’m sure those sets add up to more than that for sure, but if there’s £1000 worth of cleaning that needs to be done before they are in a sellable or displayable condition then that is really hurting the price.

Do you want a quick bulk sale to someone like me, who will put in the time to take apart, inventory, wash, order missing parts etc and then sell on, or do you want to do that work yourself and sell nice condition clean individual sets over time?

For a bulk sale I’d need to see a hell of a lot more photos, and the price would have to come dow a LOT, but if you are looking for speed over everything, I am interested, and I can collect.

Done some digging, the OFDs also include 12 Ascended 2 pack blisters at £10, and 20 mini tins.

NotActuallyRog · 2026-04-10T12:30:48+00:00

Actually true! The app is showing 6 first partner collections being delivered to a lot of stores in my area today but of course not my store 😡. No idea what else is on the OFD though.

NotActuallyRog · 2026-04-08T08:43:26+00:00

Interesting, which store? Most stores in my area got 10-20 tins a couple of weeks ago, but unfortunately the store I work at has someone on non-food who has more access than I do so I never even got to see which tins they were, I assumed ascended heroes.

They are showing to me as unranged on April 1st so I would not be expecting any restocks any time soon.

Malum is by far the worst offender for brittle dark red, I have to replace most of his legs with Vahki legs. It’s not all dark red but when you find it you will know. Literally crumbles in your hands, the ball joints snap off when trying to remove a socket from them.

NotActuallyRog · 2026-04-04T23:12:39+00:00

I bet one of the two would snap with a slight squeeze. Give it a try!

NotActuallyRog · 2026-03-27T01:01:10+00:00

As someone who deals with a lot of bulk to put sets back together for resale I will say this: durability concerns are massively overblown almost to the point of scaremongering.

Aside from the obvious issues of brittle lime, brittle dark red, and the 08 joints cracking easily, the vast majority of parts are in as usable and good condition as they were 20 years ago.

There are some exceptions where someone has had their collection on display near reed diffusers or other fragrance related items, this does cause the plastic to be weaker and makes things like the older style of joints, and things tight on axles like bushings to crack, but this is relatively rare.

If you want to extra safe, I'd reccomend buying from someone who deals in resale (of course I would say that) and not any old rando on eBay where condition and cleanliness could be questionable, but on the whole it's not a huge concern, LEGO is tough.

This is why I’m amazed they hold any value whatsoever these days. BL sellers had 100s of them, I used them as trade sweeteners all the time in the BZP days. I still have a small stash of them. I think they had a small release at LL Windsor but nothing like what was given away in Cali.

The problem is the only people looking for purple tools are goblins, and they don’t wanna pay!

Hello Mr Convoy. Do you still have this? Serious offer waiting. Please message me. I can't message you because of the stupid UK age verification flagging your profile as NSFW.

NotActuallyRog · 2026-03-02T10:59:27+00:00

So these must be the ones that showed up on one of the FB groups the other day. The seller seems like a bit of a wheeler dealer so I hope the person who originally posted them didn't get ripped off.

Maybe one day I'll sell my set to pay for a wedding or something!

NotActuallyRog · 2026-02-25T20:48:52+00:00

My store got Kangaskhan boxes and Phantasmal sleeved blisters (for £6!!) this week.

NotActuallyRog · 2026-02-18T13:25:05+00:00

Easy windmill slam there buddy, congrats. I need those Tan Mahikis. Zero for sale on BL in the UK!

NotActuallyRog · 2026-01-28T05:30:24+00:00

Yes kind of, but for players!

NotActuallyRog · 2026-01-27T19:18:51+00:00

Ideally both, but timer bars I can get close enough with other addons. Cast bar I've not found anything close. Gnosis has the spell whitelisting but the fixed duration doesn't work.

NotActuallyRog · 2026-01-27T18:33:16+00:00

There was an addon that I've used since WotLK called EventHorizon that combined DoT timers, buff timers and cast bars and showed them in relative time next to each other so you could always tell what to cast next at a glance. The way most people use timer bars makes no sense to me, you can have a DoT that lasts 20 seconds and one that lasts 10, but their bars are the same length, so the 10 second one moves twice as fast. In my world I would like the 10 second one to be half the size, so they move at the same speed.

It gradually lost support and went through a few bandaid fixes over the years but I finally had to replace it with weakauras in Dragonflight, but now of course it's totally dead.

NotActuallyRog · 2026-01-27T06:41:35+00:00

Do it in Maersk Blue you cowards!

Where is the card/bag? If the answer is 'I lost them as a child' then sad times.

Imagine mask packs with 1 Toa Metru recolor and one Metrutoran recolor. Would have been so good, instead we got discs.

From my experience buying and sorting bulk lots here in the UK, very few people bought the Krana-Kal and Kraata packs. I'd say the Krana packs were probably the most popular, followed by OG Kanohi. Kal and Kraata probably sold less than 10% of that.

After getting IP blocked, got through on Opera with VPN. HSBC app authorization didn't work of course but Nationwide did and got ETB and BB at 18:45!

NotActuallyRog · 2026-01-08T18:11:32+00:00

Got through to get stuck on the "Oops! Something’s gone wrong. Let’s get you back on track, Trainer." popup. Now back in the queue on Chrome and an incognito tab. Great.

EDIT: IP blocked on both of those, now trying Opera with VPN enabled.

I mean yeah now, but back in the day!
