Where are you getting your figures? (Sales figures.)
My figures for Sam Wilson were more based on some of the lower end prices that I've seen available (and that have actually stuck around for awhile before selling), as well as very roughly the prices I got mine for.
Thoughts on what I paid.
Hopefully it gets to me in one piece, my first Lego sdcc item ever.
I managed to get Sam Arsenal and the Mask (not that I wanted it) for $270 so I did ok. Not as cheap as some but I'm happy with my first ever SDCC purchase
I already bricklinked myself a Superman set. That was a fun little project.
Hmm... Just realized that I only buy Star Wars comic books but no Star Wars Lego and I buy Lego Super Heroes but no super hero comic books. Weird.
fig and card fine. I'm a little annoyed.
what to do? Can I get a replacement clamshell from anywhere?
I inquired to Lego about cases last year, and they said they only make them for the exclusives, so it's not possible to get a replacement.
i think I baffled the young lady at the other end.
I've already purchased a few Bionicle mask exclusives for that exact purpose. I don't have any use for the bionicle mask, but I want the mint clam shell.
Also the plan. I figure that I'll be able to make my full money back and have a return of a mint clam shell. To some people, the clam shell doesn't matter. Especially when the item is a $20 bionicle mask... at that price most people just want the mask.
I purchased a lot of minifigures and approximately 25% had mint clam shells, the rest were either severely creased or dented.
I think the seller realized his error in sending the item in such a negligent way.
On a related note, wishing my Throne of Ultron would just hurry up get here, wanting to build it. Exclusives get to jump the build queue...
Sucks @samiam391 got the raw deal on that one. :(
That said, yes, people with zero feedback are not horrible. Everyone has to start somewhere.
I'm not saying that it is not their fault, but it will not replace the damaged package you have now.
Word to the wise: always ask for such an item to be put into a shipping box. Not gauranteed to always protect it (if the shipper decides to play hacky sack with it) but you will have a better likelihood of receiving it in good condition.
If he says it's the exact item, I would let him know about the damaged bubble, b/c it would be due to his packing.
I'd still query it with the seller. If its not in the same condition as they were suggesting you've probably got grounds for a discount at least. It's like if you agreed to buy a car, but then found out the paint work was in much poorer condition. I guess the problem is that most people would understand if it were paint on a car, but a bit of plastic round a lego figure, many probably can't relate to so much.
Sucks that yours got damaged. :(
I need a Spiderman & Spiderwoman 2013 - I know they are going for crazy dollars now, so I would be willing to possibly throw in some cash. Otherwise, I do have possibly an extra Green Lantern, or Superman.
Don't want to sell, only trade.
I also have a bunch of assorted Harry Potter stuff, not SDCC, just old minifigs, instructions books, parts and stuff if that is of interest to anyone (don't do HP).
1. A 10129 sent from the U.S. to Australia wrapped in a single layer of brown paper.
2. A 'mint' 77 back Klaatu sent in a Jiffy bag that by the time it arrived inAustralia was just a crippled bit of cardboard, a broken blister and a fig floating around in the bottom of the bag.
3. A pre 1920 Janes 'All the worlds Aircraft' that was sent wrapped in brown paper.
in every instance were talking about an item worth hundreds of dollars. the most frustrating thing about the Star Wars Fig and the Janes was that even at the time they were genuine collectors items in short supply. As others have echoed - ALWAYS get confirmation of packaging method prior to buying or bidding and assume you're dealing with a poorly trained monkey on the end of the transaction!
Still, I always made sure to state this upfront on my listings and charge the higher rate or offer to debox and send the box flat to cut down on shipping costs - though I'd not sold Lego sets prior to living in the UK (and to be honest, I've only done it like twice here). People seemed to appreciate that.
I really like the way shipping works here in the UK, though. Seems much more straightforward.
