This is the set I've owned and found being sold on different platforms Below is a picture I accidentally saw on Instagram, which I have never seen on eBay or Amazon...Is this a fake pack?

Who are you? You think that you know me better than I do? 1. I buy retired sets, but I NEVER buy retired sets on BL. 2. Everyone is good at MOC if they have time, my time is used for something more valuable and rewarding, not doing MOC. 3. Plenty of other more reliable sources on the planet that you can buy Lego without having to pay postage, as long as your order is over $25 or £20, and their single price item and is even lower than that of the random unimportant someone on BL. 4. Protesting for BL has only one reason - You sell on BL.

Well if you had politely asked for my advice or reason, I would have explained to you but you were just rude in your first line of reply so I wouldn't bother wasting my time explaining to you. As I said, I have nothing to lose. It is your loss, not mine.

sneaky way of doing business with the purpose of confusing customers, quite some people are very sensitive to prices and they try to make comparison on everything, confusing the price makes them give up on considering price per piece and so sales will not tilt on cheaper sets

Thanks. Much clearer. I think many of us are very interested to look into details, if you can take more close-up pictures. By the way, your city is exposed to sunlight, yellowing may occur quite quickly.

My experience is to buy locally, from time to time there are parents who are selling out their children's toy because they have grown, their prices are often great. Someone in a local forum sold me 20kg of Lego bricks for approx. $140 if converted to usd, he drove with it to my home.

1. Lego stores aren't usually super busy here while on the contrary, a lot of time there are more staff than customers. He was attempting to imply that "super friendly" staff was to Lego's credit but this is certainly not true. 2. I go to Lego stores to see if there is any deal compared to other sources I buy Lego (I know they could have deals but it's not so often, and not always broadly informed. so I need to go to check it whenever I am free or pass by)

You are just a troll

That "Their staff at their stores and on social media are almost super friendly." is not true. Many staff at their stores are not super friendly, while some are. Some "more intelligent" staff here could quickly detect that I am kind of look who is not going to buy but checking for deals or getting hand-on experience and buying elsewhere. If Lego had put effort into training their staff, all staff would have come to me and show their friendly attitude to me no matter they like it or not. I'm always ignored, because they recognize me, I have come to the store for hundreds of times but have never spent a dollar

Well, Statistically the most intelligent people are the least and the successful secret is also kept by least people. You guys may keep protesting for Bricklink, no problem, but I have done my job by telling the truth to the future viewers, I have nothing to lose. Only those who don't take my advice will lose. Bye

I'm seeing plenty of vested interests supporting Bricklink with false or inaccurate claims, so I am here to act as a candle in the dark to give the true and accurate claims to the newbie and future viewers. That's it. Hand-on and actual experiences will just prove my words.

I believe that you must be one of the seller in Bricklink experiencing hard time selling your overpriced Lego items. I have been buying a lot of retired sets in recent years and I always make comparison on single item price and shipping cost on different platforms because it is my hobbies and I enjoy killing time on comparing prices and eBay wins 99% of the time in my comparison. Next, I think you will say that I am an international buyer, but aren't I an international buyer too on eBay? Customers' eye is wise and their foot always step to the better market, and so eBay, NEVER Bricklink

This isn't about you like or you don't like. If Lego weren't a company, they wouldn't be able to design and manufacture so many products, from nothing to a Lego set there are a lot of people and processes involved, they are all costs and have to be run according to law and conditions and it has to be a company

This set is retiring?

Setting limit is to make a better control and arrangement so that for best selling products they won't be all sold out to one or two customers, and more customers will benefit. They certainly won't cancel your order if you buy on somewhere else e.g. Amazon. They hope you to buy all of them instead.

use soft damp cloth to wipe on the track, don't use any chemical cleanser.

Just want to take advantage of this thread by sharing some of my thoughts, I really miss 60204. When it hit to the lowest point $60 in mid 2019, I didn't get it because it was just too bulky in size and I wanted to wait a bit longer to clear up the useless things home and shortly afterwards it retired silently and now the lowest price I can get here is three-times $180. However, sometimes when I get one set that I like immediately with the price I believe to be lowest, it could hit another lower point, especially for the middle-sized set e.g. 60283, 60280, 60220, 60221 etc... it could sometimes hit even lower than the cost I predicted, and pay 30-40% more for one set. Maybe you'll say it is just life, it's perfectly normal, but in the long run, I just don't feel good. How would you predict the lowest price of a Lego set? If you are experienced.

For the sets that are not retired or just recently retired from Lego store, Amazon is undoubtedly the best place to get. If you are talking about old or vintage sets, Nowhere is the best place to get, it depends on case by case Amazon only charges shipping cost for orders under $25 or 20 (uk money), this isn't something right? very easy to fulfill this amount Wise customers always get the sets they want quickly before it retires. If you can find ONE boxed set which isn't retired from any seller on Bricklink that could be less expensive than that of the Amazon after shipping cost, then you win

Market and customer have their wise eyes and judgement. In the past two years I have bought hundreds of Lego sets on ebay and Amazon, I never need to pay shipping costs, Amazon US ships for free on orders over $25, Amazon UK ships for free on orders over 20 pounds, I never pay shipping costs, I am never a Prime member. Wise people never buy on Brinklink, so I never buy on Bricklink.

Would you please take this picture again? It's a bit out of focus, I'd like to look into details. Hands still and you'll be done with any mobile phone

That being unable to cover their "real cost" is their own business, it doesn't mean buyers have to understand their situations and kindly pay more to buy from them. I never buy on BL. I once got a number of small boxed sets that I want to purchase from some of them, but those sellers never give in to the shipping costs, even if I let them to ship to their own countries (because I could find a friend there to help me get it), they never give in. After shipping cost, I can get immediately from somewhere nearby, why buying from them. BL's sellers are just arrogant.

I don't understand too. I don't normally purchase on BL, I once spent a lot of effort studying their stores, my conclusion is no reasonable deal on shipping, especially for boxed sets This site is just out-dated and never changes with time, you look at their forums and you'll find it's so poorly designed, even worse than newsgroup back in 90s

I don't normally buy at Lego store, because they normally don't have discount, however, in my region when they give you discount, it is given in a very silent way, you know it, then you know it, you don't know it, then you don't know it. I once caught their silent discount and bought a few copies of city skate park, for $15 each and a few copies of the new city tractor, for $10 and one copy of the new city police patrol boat, for $32. It was crazy.

What is Stud.io ?

I forgot to point out that, I'm living in a major city of my country, our cost of accommodation is far more expensive than Lego bricks, I can afford many many Lego sets, but honestly speaking I cannot get a small place for a small Lego town, if they are directing to the "vertical" sense in their modular building, I am pretty sure that their sales in Asia will largely increase
