Don't... I said a similar thing about the Lego kwiki mart deal on here, and all the Lego fans jumped down my throat!

Yeah, probably inhibits some peoples private sales or people not wanting to bring too much attention so they can get it bought before it sells out.

Yes £160 for £3 worth of plastic in a box. I voted hot as it's the cheapest available. But Lego buyers have lost the plot paying the prices. Lego will just charge what they can get away with.
I could 3d print the parts for £15 massive pee take out of customers.

Best thing about lego sets soon as they retire you can get back double what you paid.

No you can't, those days are long gone. Now that every man and his dog is onto "LEGO Investing", margins are very poor unless you're happy with £5 profit after listing/packing/posting your Porsche.

I agree, plus the heavy discounting on this at retail suggests they are not selling that many of them.

Not sure about you but ASDA wouldnt be the first place I go to buy a lego set worth a few hundred £. I've noticed these on sale once already at my local asda and they had about 15 boxes of them on the upper shelf. Next week they were on the bottom and down to around this price. I'm holding out for another price drop while keeping an eye on the stock levels.

I got loads of lego when sainsburys used to do the half price lego.got well over double back what I paid. I have no problem making money from it.

Good price. Heat added.
If you're bothered about the state of the box tho I'd not bother as pretty much all of my ASDA C&C the boxes have been battered.

One example. Paid £30 for set 42038 before xmas, now retired ( or approx. £21.50 with coupon and Quidco 15% cashback) and recently sold a set for £64.99 on ebay. After shipping and fees, I make £37 profit.

Yep sounds about right Not even with your super local store deals that you never post to join your one and only deal but then always say got better or disagree with the ops.

I paid £96.62 each when Tesco had them on 3-for-2. I know the date of the next sale and will share it if Gareth can be nice for once!

I've seen it in the flesh and still think it's been written off. Hence, I'm only buying these to resell.

Hold on to your hat, I may even mention a 3rd! I should hear from Tesco early next week.

Gonna sound weird but how hard is it to build these? I'm interested in making one but heard it's not beginner's friendly

25 Feb 17#28
Most here aren't buying to build, they're wanting to buy/sell on.

What's a lep version?

Out of interest, how do people know when Lego sets are going to be retired?

This is a good price - cheapest I've ever seen.
Mine took 12+ hours to build and definitely tougher than expected but kept me occupied for a few weeks each evening.
It's pretty impressive how well put together it is well worth the money imho

Thanks Danny I was wondering if it was going to be simple going or not!
These badboys (links just to one seller on aliexpress. you can get these on ebay too, but slighly dearer)

I bought the white one and its a 1/1 reproduction (you even use the lego instructions) .Only thing that lets it down is the stickers, butyou can get lego one from ebay for cuppa quid (Lep one does not have any official logos, has equiv one in its place)

The green one is 75 without a manual and 209 with a manual and in the details they will send a photocopy of the manual anyway.
£75 - that's awesome. Thank you for enlightening me! If I can get the lego instructions then that will be even better. Thanks again!
