Just picked up a deal on 5 x 7345's at 22.50 a piece. The deal itself wasn't so good but they let me turn them in for store credit at the local lego shop, which is a pretty rare thing i guess. They are selling for 35 bucks a pop at the lego store and thats what they gave me in store credit. Question is what to buy with the credit ?? What would be a really good investment ?? I was drooling over that death star they had there lol. I was talking with the manager and i guess when lego discontinues sets they actually lower the price on them. I guess they're cracking down on resellers and investors and you can only buy 5 discontinued items at a time. The manager was really serious about it, she said LIFETIME 5 ONLY. She also said if she spots any resellers she can deny them purchase on the spot, kind of ridiculous and bad for business. Isn't lego making enough money wow. Has anyone ever went to a lego shop to buy the discontinued items ?? I can also purchase online is there ever any deals at the lego shop online ?? I also noticed some kind of VIP points on the lego site does anyone know how that works ?? The manager also said 9516 would be discontinued by the end of this year. Should i pick up a couple of those ?? Sorry for 100 questions just trying to learn. Thanks for your time.
