Would have cost the guy $44.80 each box after taxes so only $404 profit. Only problem is who is going to spend $650 or $1300 on random pieces? Personally, if i was going to spend that I'd be buying something a little bit better than random colored pieces. I guess there are people out there that'll buy it up though, best of luck to the guy if he does sell it.

Since I finished off the library I have been spending most of my building time with plywood / OSB and my table saw to build all new shelving for my collection. Most of my collection is in clear Sterilite containers. I'm using a few of the big 68L Rubbermaid containers and I generally try and have the colour of the container match the colour of the brick in it. When I designed the shelving I did it with future expansion in mind, so I should be able to accommodate the new colours easily enough. I need a couple of warm days to finish off the shelving because doing the cutting outside when its well below freezing isn't any fun.

That's why I could not find one at local Walmart. I am surprise the store did not limit his purchase. Last year the check-out lady did not let me getting more than one box. She said one per family.legolego wrote:Check out this person on craigslist selling 20 boxes of them

There are many new resellers who thought he/she can make good profit from selling "any" Lego set.Tjones wrote:Would have cost the guy $44.80 each box after taxes so only $404 profit.

It is possible this seller will return them to the store if Walmart restock them on Black Friday/Boxing Day.
