Steel Dragon Posted January 16, 2010 Posted January 16, 2010 I have certain restrictions in place when it comes to my Bricklink spending, suffice to say I can only buy from US stores and I have a very limited budget. My question to you, loyal EB friends, is: Is $489.25 a good price for ten classic sets, all without boxes but guaranteed otherwise complete? The sets are: 6246 Crocodile Cage, $13.54 6145 Crystal Crawler, $4.99 6079 Dark Forest Fortress, $123.50 6264 Forbidden Cove, $24.23 6071 Forestmen's Crossing, $69.35 6277 Imperial Trading Post, $163.40 6020 Magic Shop, $7.84 6254 Rocky Reef, $17.10 6248 Volcano Island, $16.86 6075 Wolfpack Tower, $48.45 All minifigs and parts are supposedly included, but as said before no boxes.
Legoist Posted January 16, 2010 Posted January 16, 2010 6145 Crystal Crawler, $4.996264 Forbidden Cove, $24.23 6020 Magic Shop, $7.84 These are the ones that seem reasonably priced in my personal opinion, the rest costs more than it's worth... as most complete sets on Bricklink. If they were "like new" then it would make sense, but what guarantees that you'll get decent parts? The prices seem to be around 30c per piece. Have you tried to check the parts list from Peeron and see if you can buy the special pieces you're missing for a lower price overall?

This is really more of a spur-o'-the-moment thing, in that I haven't been getting parts together. I already own Magic Shop and Crystal Crawler, but they aren't together and would take a looong time to assemble. I might split the cost with my brother, too. But it looks like I'll just be buying these separately, over time, for better prices.
