You could always look into thimble display cases? Roughly the same size

I don't see the attraction in collecting the figures whatsoever personally but each to their own!
Yet to even open my Arocs box - saving it up for the time being!
Just got back from the Lego London store, highly recommend it if you haven't been.
The displays are amazing, the staff very helpful and engaging, the Mosaic Maker is brilliant fun, my son enjoyed it thoroughly, we turned up at opening time and had to book for the machine at 1 so be warned if you go you may not be able to get it straight away.
Knackered now, my son saved up his money and bought lots of Lego, which I got the honour or carting around Hamleys and Waterloo.
Great fun if you have a chance! My son was chuffed he got to meet the bloke from the Christmas show who was unemployed before he got the sales role, he even got a picture with him!

Felt a bit dirty yesterday after ordering my 1st lepin star wars. My son wanted the at-at but its discontinued. 10178 is the set, i'm simply not paying the £700 going rate especially when its
going to a 3rd party and not to lego themselves. Lets see if its any good when it get here.

You've just reminded me that I have the 8129 AT-AT in the loft somewhere! Seems to be going for £300 now, think I only paid £100. Really want to build that one.
I wouldn't be concerned taking money off lego lol. Can you imagine the profit margin they make.
And like you said lego themselves won't see it anyway.
If I was buying for kids I'd absolutely get lepin
Man of Honour
Right - definitely want to sell my 8043 excavator. But I haven't sold anything on Ebay (or anywhere) online.
How should I sell it / price it so I can't get ripped off?
No one will buy it locally.

Is it new or used?
If you want to avoid being ripped off then offer it for collection only and cash only. You limit your audience no comebacks.
Man of Honour
It's used, built, but not very used. I didn't think you could do that on ebay? have to have paypal as a payment method?
Soldato
I just couldn't buy it and then not build it.
Soldato
Not any more. If its collection only you can remove Paypal as an option.
If you had the same amount of kits I had in the loft you might think again!

I've found a couple of Smyths Toy Shops with the Crawler Crane but both in Belfast - anyone based out that way?
