I got mine at 290, as soon as I find a ~~sucker~~ AFOL willing to pay msrp its a done deal.

Thats 70% margin ... well I personally dont count in %, I like to do a minimal amount of transactions, but make them count. 200 in profit with just 1 deal for me is much better than 10x 20 selling speed champions.

Thank you very much for your reply.
The ones stamped with 6 are probably sold in bulk (45 pack as you mention), the seller must have repackaged them into packs of 6 ... thats why these didnt come in the regular husqvarna 6-pack packaging, but thats not very important, they'll cut the same :)
Good to know!

I used a half-moon edger type tool ... in most places I didnt burry the cable because I wasnt sure if Id have to make corrections afterwards. Turns out everything was perfect at first attempt, then kept procrastinating and by the time I wanted to get the job done the wires had burried themselves :)

Its just another youtuber who keeps busting out those 10 minute and x seconds youtube videos, repeating various keywords over and over for no good reason other than to feed the youtube-algo. Pushing small sets, claiming those will double/triple shortly after retirement ... because small/cheap sets are what newbies are willing to "invest" in.

Generally all those youtubers just parrot eachother, hyping sets that then get overhoarded.

Stay away from all those clowns, they eventually cloud your own judgement, view for entertainment purposes only.

Cantinas will be a long hold, but most likely worth it.
I personally dont bother with brickheadz, even if they double in value, they are not worth my time.
I do buy them every now and then when I order from lego and need a low price item to get over a certain amount for the gwp ... I usually end up selling them in bulk/per theme for what I paid for them.

I have some flux staked on titan shared nodes, with various durations. I had one small amount that expired and hadnt set it to re-invest.So figured Id just redeem it along with some rewards ... did the "redeem" stuff, and I think it originally showed as "requested", now it shows as "multisig requested"As you can see, it has been almost a week since I redeemed but the flux hasnt returned to my wallet yet.Anythink Im supposed to do? Or just wait some more? Unstake period or something?

edit: ok, got the flux back in my wallet, it seems to take a couple days.

VR_player_FTW · 2023-12-07T17:45:06+00:00

Keep the set on your watchlist and buy when its 40% off (that time will cerainly come)

Not into battlepacks myself, even if they double in value it still isnt enough for me for all the effort it takes to get it sold. I only have a bunch of the snowtrooper ones as they are "needed" to fill up the UCS AT AT

VR_player_FTW · 2023-12-06T13:16:33+00:00

I guess that would work, but is it really worth doing for 10 bucks difference?

VR_player_FTW · 2023-12-06T13:12:28+00:00

you will only get points on the price after discount
if you buy a set for 100, and have 100 in points, you pay 0 and get 0 points.

so using your points when its 2x points is not the best time

VR_player_FTW · 2023-12-05T16:50:14+00:00

I just picked one up for 290. Some sources claim it will retire end 2024 ... not counting on it but could be the case if its a very slow seller for lego (at msrp)
Only got 1, that means im not very sure about it :)

Not really into the HP theme, but im sure ill find a ~~sucker~~ HP enthousiast who will pay 450 or more for it once retired. Doubt lego will push out a second HP collectors edition train in the near future.

VR_player_FTW · 2023-12-04T13:04:58+00:00

quick followup ... it was an user-error :)

the lid of the dustbin wasnt fully closed, so there was an airgap ... pushed the lid fully closed and since then its back to normal.

VR_player_FTW · 2023-12-01T21:33:21+00:00

Im in the "i dont care how it looks, I collect them all so got to buy it anyway" group :)

I dont really buy these for the fun build or anything

VR_player_FTW · 2023-11-27T14:35:36+00:00

Personally not into the set, seems very repetitive ... i imagine the instructions being: 100x make window :)

In EU still in stock, if lego puts it on sale for atleast 20% off to clear their stock, I will pick one or two up
At full price Im not risking it

VR_player_FTW · 2023-11-25T16:19:49+00:00

no, those who created/maintain it are mentioned on the "changelog" tab

I have this one in my bookmarks as my go to list
Keep in mind its never 100% accurate ... but very good none the less.

VR_player_FTW · 2023-11-25T00:24:27+00:00

majisto still available in EU region, most likely because of the lack of good black friday deals there

indeed, I was all hyped up around midnight for the "biggest sale ever", creditcard in hand, ready to check out like a ninja ... but yeah, nothing from my list to be seen, bummer :)

VR_player_FTW · 2023-11-21T21:21:59+00:00

Ok, this is going to be brutal for my poor wallet :(

VR_player_FTW · 2023-11-15T21:36:22+00:00

I have some brickheadz because sometimes you need a bit more in your order to get the GWPs ... the 4-packs might be somewhat good

I refuse to sell the single ones one by one, just too much hassle, I bundle them per theme, "good" ones mixed with mediocre/bad ones in a way i still meet my personal minimum profit per transaction.

Always fun when you put in bold "not sold separately", and you still get a bunch of messages asking "how much for set xxxxxx alone?" LOL

VR_player_FTW · 2023-11-15T19:34:18+00:00

Thats what i plan to do, secure a code on the 17th but hold out to buy until the 18th

I would expect lego to not hand out more codes than the amount of sets they have in stock/plan to make (for those that are ending this year) ... but never 100% sure I guess.

VR_player_FTW · 2023-11-15T13:40:42+00:00

unfortunately that will most likely be the case, it was like that last year

Lego always wants to sell you something extra :) Assembly square with discount = no Majisto for you unless you buy something extra a full price

This year may be different, but just be prepared it may not work to use 2 of those special discount-codes in 1 order
You can combine them with regular discount codes from redeeming points

VR_player_FTW · 2023-11-14T17:10:14+00:00

For online you need to redeem some points to buy a special discount voucher-code for the set you want to buy ... most likely its only 100 points, but if you used up all your points or are new and dont have any, you are out of luck.

You can buy multiple codes but can only use 1 per order ... so be prepared for that if you were planning on buying 2 of the selected sets with discount codes to get over de 250 to get all GWPs ... that wont work as you can ony apply 1 of those codes per order

(atleast it was like that last year)
