   ^ I was going to add a caveat that #8679 is by a mile the best Cars set! lol My only 'sleeper' hit from Cars, or at least thats my view.

   Well I have the option of buying about 20+ of #8679 at 75% off AU RRP, only problem is that all and I mean all the remaining sets are crushed in exactly the same place (big deep crease about 3cm from the edge). I was able to find a total of 5 without damage.

   How well a set does for you depends on what you paid for it. Even duds have potential. I just sold a Cars 2 #8679 which I had only just purchased a couple of weeks earlier for 120% profit after fees, . Granted I may have got a little more for it due to Christmas. I am also sure that the remainder of the sets I did get will…
