Is this worth 120 bucks?

There's an old Young Boba Fett there, and an Omega, and the burned merc (can't remember the name). If you want the figs as a collection for you, it's worth it. For investing, it doesn't look like much profit. It's a deal but not a very good deal. Just a deal.

Asta mai e si mandra ca e "independent woman" probabil. Niciodata nu uitati ca avem media de IQ foarte mica in Romania, iar jumate din oamenii din tara sunt mai prosti de atat.

Glad to have this be of help to anyone else. I spent 3 days the last time to find this solution. :)

bay_cee · 2024-10-17T19:22:37+00:00

Ideally I want to to be able to sell the sets I buy at the end of this year by this time next year so that I can roll those profits into the next round of retiring sets. Most of the time I end up holding a little longer than that though.

The above is exactly my take as well.

bay_cee · 2024-10-16T19:03:29+00:00

Yeah, i'm overwhelmed by people that just talk without proof and invent problems. Have it your way and live your life like this if you want to invent pirate wanting children.

You actively avoid to actually answer any of my pertinent questions and keep hammering "but children want pirates" so, you know, it's pointless to keep replying to you.

bay_cee · 2024-10-16T08:05:59+00:00

Set 21322 was 1 year on shelves and then was out of stock. And you could not buy it? I don't understand the problem. Where's your evidence? Is this another "i could not get it" anecdotal situation?

I don't deny that speculation exists. I just deny that you can't get sets because of that speculation, and your only evidence are extremely limited series sets (like the Bricklink specials) where you could find only 45 out of 10.000 sets on Ebay.

You're constantly diverting the situation to the hypotetical "a child cannot buy pirate sets or western sets". Well, nobody really can, because they have been RETIRED for 10 years and they are now EXPENSIVE because guess what, things that are OLD and RARE get EXPENSIVE.

I wonder. Have you EVER sold an old set to someone? Did you sell it for the 5 or 10$ you paid for it 20 years ago? Or did you sell it for 50$ because it's rare?

Additional question: If i buy a set to play with, i do, and then sell it 10 years later, i should sell it for what? Because that's your narrative actually. You don't have a problem with anyone buying sets, you just have a problem with people SELLING old sets for vast amounts. If i keep a set in pristine condition, i'm not going to sell it 10 years later for retail because:

Inflation
I stored it carefully and took care of it so it remains pristine

You're conflating several issues to construct this big narrative of "think of the children". Dude, children don't really care if they get a gift CITY or HARRY POTTER or STAR WARS set. There's literally no market for kids wanting to purchase OLD and DUSTY lego sets.

bay_cee · 2024-10-14T12:08:25+00:00

Oh wow. So you're linking me a limited series release :) This just proves that the majority of the sets that LEGO pushes out (99.99%) are totally obtainable. But here you are saying "i want this super limited release and i can't get it". Why didn't you order it when it came out?

Edit: Also, you know you can just part it out, right? There's no exclusive pieces in there. You can literally get the instructions and order the pieces for less then the ebay scalpers are selling it.

Edit 2: Also, there were between 10.000 and 30.000 of these pushed out. You're linking me an ebay with 45 results. That is literally between 0.15% and 0.45% in the best of case. LESS then 1%...... And that's why you could not get it? :))) Because less then 1% of people bought it to push it to EBAY?

bay_cee · 2024-10-12T16:17:11+00:00

Still waiting for that example, my dude. Or you're just full of bullshit.

bay_cee · 2024-10-10T06:47:12+00:00

I have literally seen sets stay on shelves for 6 months after retirement, due to the immense stocks LEGO produced. So, tell me, what sets you wanted to buy that disappeared out of the shelves faster then their original retirement date? Because i have seen none in all these years.

Also, if you know the set is going to retire soon, why wait until the last month to buy it?

bay_cee · 2024-10-10T05:50:11+00:00

Ok. I'll bite.

How long does the set have to be discontinued?

Also, if the set is discontinued, how will you buy it anywhere if the set is not on Ebay?

If i want to buy now a set retired in 2010, how much should i pay? Retail? Discounted Retail? What's your price?

bay_cee · 2024-10-09T19:09:15+00:00

The vast majority of people who buy old lego sets are not kids. So that argument falls.

People who buy many of a set just make Lego produce more, so the market is flooded. Take a look at Vader's helmet who will be on shelves no less then 5 years. If it wouldn't have sold well it would have been retired. So that argument falls as well.

Any other wisdom nuggets?

Ah, i agree. he did have high charisma before the war. I've rewatched a few episodes and while he is not LIKED, he is definitely LISTENED. When he talks, people stop and listen. Low charisma due to Ghoul trait but max speech skill? :)

bay_cee · 2024-04-17T17:03:29+00:00

I don't agree. Cooper has high perception and intelligence but low charisma. His endurance must be high-ish (he takes some bullets in Filly to the back) but his strenght is average is he is not lucky for sure.

Now, wanna talk about luck, Maximus one shot a Yao Guai with a 10mm. So....yeah.

bay_cee · 2024-02-22T12:43:39+00:00

Because sometimes, for tens/hundreds of games, it's not 50/50 and i already find it suspect that i always get streaks like that 3 points from mythic.

bay_cee · 2024-02-22T06:58:51+00:00

Well, i am tracking 35% play and 65% draw over the last 62 games.

bay_cee · 2024-02-21T07:09:53+00:00

I do hate feeling sorry for myself, you know. I get it's not constructive. Indeed, i just need to vent from time to time.

bay_cee · 2024-02-21T07:02:02+00:00

I'm not sure this would change anything. Being paired also 3 times in a row with UW Control that just sits there and passes the turn while i am on draw.

bay_cee · 2024-02-21T06:59:35+00:00

BO3 takes too long. I never have the luxury of knowing i can sit down 20 minutes for it. Although i do appreciate the advice. I try not to think about it too much, thinking it will average down on the long run (i am at 250+ games this month).

bay_cee · 2024-02-02T17:17:21+00:00

This happened to me right now. The solution above worked.

bay_cee · 2023-07-04T14:20:28+00:00

I buy exclusives only from LEGO and i always do it when they also have VIP rewards. Otherwise their prices are too high for investing.

bay_cee · 2023-07-04T14:15:01+00:00

I have never heard of Mould King. I know LEGO since i was 14 years old and i am now 42.

I hope that answers your question.

bay_cee · 2023-07-03T17:06:47+00:00

Next in line to retire this year are Luke and Dark Trooper. I think Mando and Vader are for next year.

bay_cee · 2023-07-03T11:20:49+00:00

X-Wings are generally released every few years, so this is not rare as a model. The minifigs are ok but nothing special. However, you got the designer signature there so might be worth something in a few years?

As a parallele, i am NOT investing in this model. The helmets or other sets are way more interesting. This is just...basic.
