Well I went on Amazon to go find a bunch of legos to buy, and I saw this, this, and this.

  1. I never knew legos went for that much...

  2. I have all three of those from when I was little, one of which I never even opened cause I lost interest. How much did my parents spend on legos?

Forget about the LEGO website.

Just get this unless he has it already. You can't go wrong. It's one of the two most iconic ships from the original (most universally-loved) trilogy.

Edit: Bah, if he's really into Star Wars LEGO he probably already has an X-Wing.

That x-wing came off eBay. I think it's either a Lele or Lepin version of a 90's era Lego set. This is the set:

Don't spend more than $20 on it if you buy it. I got mine for like $11 including shipping. There are a lot of sellers who offer this set but, the number of them available tended to rise and fall when I was watching it. One week there were none, another week there were dozens.

EDIT: This is the discontinued Lego brand version: https://www.amazon.com/LEGO-X-Wing-Starfighter-Discontinued-manufacturer/dp/B005VPRG3S

I got it for $60, amazon is the cheapest and you can sometimes get free shipping. Ends up being $57.

I have both the 9493 and the 8088 and I preferred the 9493. I thought the build was more interesting including the mechanism to make the wings open and close. And I love the minifigs in the orange jumpsuits from the original trilogy and you get Jek Porkins.

My SO would love this Lego Stars Wars X-wing Starfighter because he loves Legos and Star wars :)

I'm in love.

u/cheeseburger_humper · 1 pointr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

ALL OF THEM! Or maybe just the X-Wing.

Dude, have fun training!
This would be awesome to have. Apparently I'm a kid at heart.

Thanks for the contest.

This was over $40 a few days ago when I was strumming my guitar with this pickle I found in my mailbox. But THIS is right at $60.

I've gifted 8 so far since my finances are still a bit all over the place.

Put simply, retail arbitrage is buying stuff for $(low price) at a brick-and-mortar store (Wal-Mart, Target, etc.) and then shipping it to Amazon for FBA to sell for $(higher price).

For example, say you go to Random Store and find this LEGO set for the ridiculously low price of $5. You go on Amazon and find out "Holy Crap! The cheapest price available through Amazon is $44.44! That's amazing!" So then you'll want to scroll down the page and underneath the "Product Details" heading you'll see that this set has "#203 in Toys & Games" and "#31 in Toys & Games > Building & Construction Toys > Building Sets" next to the line "Amazon Best Seller Rank." This means that only 202 toys in the entire "Toys and Games" department are selling better than this set, and only 30 building sets are selling better. That's a great buy!

On the other hand, you go to another section of Random Store and find this CD being sold for $40. You go on Amazon and see that the other copies available are used and available for $48.98. But scroll down farther and you'll see that the ranking for this CD is "#959,651 in Music." This CD is both way too expensive and not nearly enough in demand to justify purchasing.

That's my understanding of it, anyway, in a nutshell. Let me know if you have any other questions and I'll do my best. :)
