If my choice of investment was between a set at retail price or one that had
already seen a 200% increase in value it wouldn't be a choice at all.

Great questions!
Though the idiom “apples and oranges” leaps to mind. In other words, they are
incompatible for any sort of honest comparison, imho.
-One is a newer set, the other older with 10 years of price settling.
-One was designed for display (UCS), the other for play.
-One's value is held in minifigures, the other's is not and never will.
“will be worth more in the future?”
How far into the future? Worth more as an asset? In which case: new-sealed, parted,
used, etc?
The only definitively answer I can offer, is to your “which one looks
better on display” question... which is in this case, is perhaps the apropos
question to ask yourself. Without a doubt it's the gorgeous Republic Gunship.
A stunning beauty! (like my ex-wife, though far less costly )

If sets, then use brickset. If parts, probably rebrickable. Although cataloguing
a parts collection can take a long time.

What are you buying for. Investment or building? If investment, buy a current
set.
If you are building, are you more prequel or original trilogy? Which set do
you like and which goes best in your display area with your current collection?
Go for that one. They are both good display sets, but with so many personal variables,
the better one depends in you.

| Generally lots of overpriced, over-weighed, off-brand (or counterfeit), and dirty/smokey
stuff. I saw 1 listing supposedly for the modular Bookshop that had just the
box and a few bags of solid colors (obviously not from that set) that went for
over $100. I've also seen listings with a couple of hundred figures in very
blurry pictures, but very obviously counterfeit (as in the pic in this thread
with sealed, disassembled figures) go for over $1,000. Crazy what people will
pay and how little they know about Lego.
Local marketplaces where you can see what you get before you pay are probably
still the best way to find cheap used Lego.

After a week I finally got a refund . Was a huge pain
|
The box looks real - it's the first time I've seen a fake set with the
LEGO logo reproduced. But those figures definitely look fake. I wonder if it
is a fake in a genuine box
|
It is the complete set copied almost 4k pieces . None of the bricks say lego
on them. even the stickers look real minus the china stamp on back. I'm afraid
once this is returned it will just be put back into circulation .

Maybe add it to the catalog? The question is where? Under Gear - Super Mario
(Co-Branding: Nintendo) but beyond that: Keychain or Retail Display Case?

No, unless it's Elmer's glue or craft Glue (glue gun). Most glue chemically
reacts with the plastic to melt it together.
Depending on the set, it may have value as is. Sold these to a LUGNET member

Yes, all the old sets for store display were glued, there are collectors for
that 
You could order glued models from a LEGO catalog for your store.
I think there are still sets officially glued by LEGO, mostly the store display
cases.
I have one like the first picture, but there are many more.

Lego Stores do build the sets by their employees, but for other stores like Toysrus
etc they sent glued models, but those are usually in a cubic box with backdrop

I wouldn't bother. You will end up with a pile of worthless, damaged bricks.
You might as well have a glued set that can be displayed.

It really depends on the glue used.
Are you sure it is not an original LEGO glued set?
|
What are original LEGO glued sets? I have never heard of that. I would think
it isn't since only some of the parts are glued, including some technic parts
that are supposed to be able to rotate.

It already exists: legally, and on BL, you need to be a VAT-registered entity
(so a seller with the VAT option on).

I know there were some EU countries that had (still have?) problems with this
when shipments arrive to their country.
Opinions? EU buyers: what is your experience regarding this?
Thanks.

* BL might be obligated to charge VAT but then I would expect BL to make sure
the shipments are correctly posted (and all the neccessary inormation entered
into the IOSS computer system) - if BL can't do this then I would like not
to pay VAT when I place an order to avoid more work for me and for BL team (now
I have one order when VAT was paid twice. I am still waiting for the official
receipt before contacting BL team for a refund (our Tax Administration says I
must request a refund from the marketplace)).

Some are very nice, indeed.

Second place would be all the minifigs that are dressed up in costumes.

What cool idea! I like it.

I also love sorting and selling anything from the Technic or Bionicle categories.

Always had a small fascination for Bionicle sets and their parts, just never

Hair and Headgear as they're the one component that really helps define a
minifigure. Assembling them onto a head is also very satisfying
Hair, Headgear and Heads are one of the main things my store specializes in.
Small and easy to store with a good demand for them. They certainly work for
me

Makes sense. My son opened his own store when he became of age. When he did,
he briefly toyed with the idea of specializing in minifig heads, headgear and
hairs. His thinking was much the same as yours and I also thought it a good idea,
still do.
Anyway, when going over possible store names back then, I hit on the store name
"A good place to get ahead" His career and interests quickly sidelined his BL
store development, though.

| Hi all,
in March of this year I was searching for some parts. I found them only for sale
at Australian stores NOT shipping to Europe.
After my cry-out to my fellow BL-ers here, LegOhHeaven stepped in to the rescue.
Now, about 2 months later, my parts have arrived safely, items even packed as
a gift (see picture).
Well thanks for the help LegOhHeaven and the time you took to help me complete
some projects!
I am glad, happy and thankful to be part of this community !!!

I'm guessing that the most of those images are .GIF files.
.GIF files are made up of a series of static images that are shown one after
the other to produce an animation.
You can use online .GIF creators to produce your .GIF, however you still have
to provide all the static images to make the .GIF. Creating the original animation
frames is the really time consuming part of creating a .GIF. Note: .GIF files
are limited to 256 colours (IIRC), so will scale down the palette of your original
images to 256 (if they consist of more than 256); results can vary...
A quick glance on Google found this online creator - https://ezgif.com/maker
I can't vouch for its effectiveness, but it looks like it should meet your
requirements.
Once you've saved your .GIF to a hosting site, simply link to it to see your
animation on your store.
In theory!!!
|
Thank you for such an in-depth explanation and sharing the link! I will try my
hand at this and see what I can produce. I will post updates after.

You may need to specify a bit more as there are multiple versions of the DeLorean.
These are the figures from the new set (At least 2 stores have them in stock
as of now):
The license plate in that set has two version but they are both stickered 2x4
tiles. The sticker sheet nor the stickered parts have been added to the catalog
yet.
And these are the entries for the older ideas version of the DeLorean:
[P=3069bpb0288,1]
[P=3069bpb0287,4]

Thanks Pete. Why are they so rare and limited? Set has been out for 3 or 4
months now
|
|
Also I think it's pretty much been sold out since the release day. Which
means a couple things:
1) If anyone on BrickLink was planning on inventorying it, if they did not get
it day 1 they still don't have access to it. As of right now the inventory
for that set has not been reserved, so presumably nobody is even working on it.
2) People don't often part out sets if they only have 1 or 2 of them,
especially bigger sets like this. Since it's been sold out since day one
it highly unlikely that many people (if any) have more than 1 or 2 of the set
and thus even if the inventory was ready not many would be parted out.
-Pete

I have the set, won't get around to working on it till at least the end of
the month. I'm redoing the flooring throughout my house and all my Lego
is just moving from one room to the next. Forget all the new sets that have
come in. I didn't want to reserve the set incase someone could get to in
sooner. If it's still out there, I'll be sure to work on it when I open
mine up. None the less, the stickered parts won't be added for who knows
how long. I have stickered parts from the new Ideas Sonic set and the Designer
Sheriff's Safe that have been waiting for months so even if I get to it,
who knows how long it will be for the stickered ones.

It isn't really a lego product that you are selling if it is signed by them
so best not to limit yourself to a lego only site. Stick it into an auction.

| Hello Bricklink community,
I create LEGO mosaic artwork (www.brickmaniac.com & Instagram @brickmosaics).
I am gearing up for a large community build project involving ~70 city kids this
summer. As a way to punctuate this event, I would like to offer participants
a chance to build and take home with them a LEGO minifigure of their own design.
I scratched together about 30 minifigures from my own collection, but I need
more minifigs and extra parts to insure that each participant can have the opportunity
to get one. My budget also isn't sufficient to afford the purchase new minifigures
in this quantity, which is why I am asking the Bricklink community for help.
I am pretty sure there must be some extra minifigs & parts out there, given our
large LEGO community!
The ask: I would really appreciate it if you have any minifigures or
parts to share. If possible, I hope to have parts/figures with different skin
tones, so that kids of different skin tones can make a figure that looks like
they do, if they want. The minifigs/parts do not need to be brand new.
At this point, I am looking for anything (heads, torsos with arms/hands, legs,
arms/hands, hair, helmet, etc.), so please direct message me if you have something
that you're willing to contribute.
I have a stamp collection and I am able and happy to reimburse for shipping.
Thanks in advance for your generosity!!
Aaron
P.S. I cannot take credit for this great LEGO meme, I found it on the internet.

That is weird. The print is pretty much all there (except the red dot) but compressed

That is weird. The print is pretty much all there (except the red dot) but compressed
into a higher band.
|
And the 2 rectangles bottom left and the cirkel bottom right are solid silver.
They are not supposed to be are they?

Looks more like a bad printed:

The part was flipped the wrong way when the rocks were printed on it. Resulting
in both sides being printed, and the top missing a partial print. I haven't
seen anything quite like it before and am surprised it exists, made it past quality
control and survived 30 years to today intact.
|
I wonder how in the world that happened. Cool find, thanks for sharing.
|
Could they be painted before being pressed into form?
|
Or are they not “stamped”
I assume they are decorated before forming. The continuous printing on the curved
edges is too good to be printed afterwards.

You cannot find out who they are. But if you go to My Store then Notify you can
send a message to anyone that signed up for mailings.

I'm guessing that the most of those images are .GIF files.
.GIF files are made up of a series of static images that are shown one after
the other to produce an animation.
You can use online .GIF creators to produce your .GIF, however you still have
to provide all the static images to make the .GIF. Creating the original animation
frames is the really time consuming part of creating a .GIF. Note: .GIF files
are limited to 256 colours (IIRC), so will scale down the palette of your original
images to 256 (if they consist of more than 256); results can vary...
A quick glance on Google found this online creator - https://ezgif.com/maker
I can't vouch for its effectiveness, but it looks like it should meet your
requirements.
Once you've saved your .GIF to a hosting site, simply link to it to see your
animation on your store.
In theory!!!

Try a search like this:

for e.g.
all colors
for a seller that has more than a 1.000 in a lot
shipping to USA
for a max price that is acceptable to you
Don't expect that shop to have all colors you need, but it gets you started
to find a suitable shop.
Shipping from EU to USA is generally cheaper than the other way around.
AFAIK you do have to pay sales tax (state dependent) but not import duties (federal
US).

Thanks for the info. I do searches all the time. The part number I am looking
for is . Will keep checking!

It might be worth looking into buying a few of the mosaic sets as sources of
pieces. Especially if you can find them on sale. If you expand into using 1x1
round tiles as well
there are quite a few more brightly colored sets. Particularly
and
might be of interest to you.
-Pete

Hi, Pete. I build towers with them so tiles won't work. The mosaic sets I
have seen have all had a ton of black, grays and browns. The colors I am looking
for in large quantities are:
yellow, red, orange, blue, trans-light blue, green, lime, dark red, etc.
I would be happy if a store just had large quantities of red blue and yellow
and were willing to sell them to me at a discount.
Thank you all so much for all your help. Please contact me if you have tons of
these.
|
Maybe look into Nordic Brix (Finland) or Unlimited-Bricks (Germany).
I suggest putting the pieces you really want on a Wanted List and setting your
max price a little higher than you want. Then search for stores that meet those
criteria. Start your search there and that should get the ball rolling.
-Pete
|
+1
Also, some sellers who have large quantities may sometimes choose to add Bulk
Pricing Discounts to their lots. Those do NOT show up on any of the Wanted List
features, but you will see that when you enter each shop and view the listings
up close.
So, for example, if a seller with 8,000 Red Dots shows up on your wanted list
results and you go to their store, you may find that they offer a bulk price
discount when you purchase large quantities. An original price of 5 cents might
end up being 2 cents when you buy 1,000 or more Red Dot Plates.
