… the Ecto 1 is gorgeous! It got me out of the dark ages. I love all of the Easter eggs, absolute amazing build. Definitely recommend people curious to build this one.
Appreciate your sharing which sets and how many you are getting. You are always my go to guide for reference when considering what to invest in. Like the Target and Walmart breakdown too. You do all the work for me. Thank you!!
Thanks for all of the information. Your knowledge, efforts and willingness to share this information without putting it behind a pay wall is appreciated
Thanks so much! Very kind of you to say all that and appreciate my videos. I do them because it's fun to make them, I enjoy the community and I love LEGO!
Great video as always! Appreciate the breakdown of the discounts including the GWPs. Also thanks for reviewing the Target and Walmart sales. Happy Shopping!
I bought the City Gardens. Now got over 4000 Insiders Points and I am thinkging about getting the Endurance. Tough choices all the time :D But NINJAGO City Gardens for the price, had to be one of the best deals in the last weeks/months when we add all the GwPs.
I was hoping for a deal on the City Sailboat. Target Exclusive, one year shelf life. Solid little set and nothing crazy but it could double up in a year. Not paying retail tho!
A tip with Rakuten - if you order a little keychain or DND or space minifig, Rakuten will give you the full percentage off even in exclusive and hard to find sets. Also, you need to factor in tax to the final cost.
Yeah, I've heard it works sometimes, but I've never tried it. Agree on accounting for sales tax. Sometimes I do, but last night I was in a hurry to get the vid out as close to midnight as possible 😁 Take care guys!
Managed to grab two Gardens. So happy! What sweetened the deal even more that Amex Platinum had a 20 Euro Voucher on top that could be used twice. Very split on the Eldorado. Everyone is Stacking up on them which will suppress the EOL Price for quite some time
Nice job, great pickup! Yeah, I'm still totally confused on eldorado...the data isn't great, but over here I haven't seen too many investors on it. But at the end of the day it just seems a pirates set that great should do well. Maybe a longer hold time though. Best of luck with your sets!
We’ve been waiting for that discount on the City Gardens, I wasn’t sure it was going to come. I ordered 1, had a think about it, ordered a second and then they went out of stock here 🇬🇧 Next year looks really pricey with all those F1 cars, going to have to pay for them somehow 😁
I'm glad you got one! Phew, close call because they went oos so quick. I actually missed out because I was recording - I went back a few minutes later and oos! BUT, I got the last one from my Lego store, so lucky!! Yeah, the F1s are great (but I hope they come out with a few none racing SC too), I will be getting all the F1s because as you probably heard in my vids a million times that I love racing!!! I'm going to wait on those F1s until hopefully $14 in a couple years. Later buddy!!
I agree. I've included it in some previous videos, but I was moving quick on this one to get it out as soon as possible after the deals posted at midnight! 😁
Still not my favorite at 30% off. I'd be a maybe at 45% off. The builds are just ok for me and only 4 villains Minifigures at the $130 RRP seems light. If it had double the Minifigures, then I'd be in! Did you grab any? It is a target exclusive though!
@@kdxbricksanalytics I did pick up a copy and considering more! I’m betting the three unique figures will increase in value significantly, I think yall might be snoozing on this one.
I went hard on a bunch of Brickheadz this time. And i bought the Ninjago garden. I will be spending all my insider points on the upcoming ship The Endurance.
Sorry everyone...it went so quick. I knew it'd be popular, but I was thinking at least a few hours of stock. I missed out too online, but I got lucky and snagged the last one in my local Lego store this morning. And I know most don't have a Lego store nearby...so I'm feeling really lucky. Sorry again guys, all the best on hopefully future good pickups!
Were you able to get a City Gardens? It was sold out when you clicked on it. I'm glad i got one last black Friday. It was also at $279 last year. I think i am going to grab an A Frame Cabin and a NASA Space Shuttle. I also passed on the AT AT. Great video. Happy Thanksgiving 🦃
Hey guys! I missed out on gardens too, that went soooo quick! But, I got crazy lucky this morning and got the last one in my local store. Sorry it didn't work out for you guys...😕 but yeah, city markets is awesome too! I agree on a-frame and shuttle and passing on AT-AT! Take care guys and happy thanksgiving!
I didn't care for any of the Lego sale items for investment so I used this opportunity to pick up Rivendell for myself lol. Are you keeping the GWP with the Endurance or selling it? I personally can't decide. Hoping for better deals as we get deeper into the holiday season. BTW it'd be interesting to see a follow up vid of how close your projected savings end up VS actual (maybe you sold it for more $$$ or less for the GWPs etc)
I was really hoping to see a sale on Rivendell, i felt it would have fit in nice with 20% off this season since people would likely buy to go with Brarad-Dur
I hear ya! But I'm glad you got rivendell - top 10 all time Lego set in my opinion. I hope to grab one someday. And yes, 20% on it would have been so good! Great idea on doing a recap to see how my "cost" predictions turned out...I'll do one of those someday! I'm 100% keeping the endurance GWP and probably building it right away (we'll, after I build the endurance ship first!) Take care guys... appreciate the comments and support!
@@kdxbricksanalyticstotally agree Rivendell is an amazing set. After checking my inventory I realized I had never gotten one. Keeping it for myself but who knows...if it takes off like the bat cave shadow box I may sell it and pair it with the LoTR brickheadz. Good call on the endurance GWP...it'll look good in my office next to my world map lol. I'm leaning towards keeping it as I'm not buying more than 1 Endurance lol.
Yeah, I'd have a tough time parting with rivendell even if it grows in value...more playing with the product 🤣 Yeah, I'm just getting one endurance... and I will be building it and the GWP!
@@kdxbricksanalytics Well, about that AT-AT, we do have a LEGO store in my area, so I got there at the opening (only 1 other person was there), and the other guy had bought TWO AT-AT, and there was one left, and I pulled the blaster, and got it. The people there were so nice, even helped me bring it on a cart all the way to my car.. Now, if only LEGO would redo another Death Star...
Hahaha, that's awesome!!! Enjoy it! Yeah, the Lego store customer service experience is always fantastic. And yes on another death star (I feel like it will happen in the not too distant future!). Take care!
While I do believe you played it safe with your GWP estment as this is a youtube video.... But my guy where are youy getting all these $5 GWps from? All of them on Bricklink are well over $10 from a US bricklink seller which is the cheapest easiest way to get one you missed out on... Like even tghe sesaonal sets are worth more then that because rarity and fun pieces... Like even none Lego elements ones sell for more becauee rarity... Which even $25 for one of those sets would be hard to find anywhere given they are insnly good GWPs that have all the trheats of great Lego sets in general not just GWPs they even come with in normal production boxs something GWP almost never have these days... Not to mention both have high epice counts for GWPs and are fun big enough sets that anyone whould enjory having... Not to mention the train which will likely go to tghe moon easly well above the $40 most good GWPs are... Because well it's an awesome train something lego train fans have been starved off... Even though it's has a Doplo rail gauge.... Which the record player will likely be just a normal GWP at around that $40 USD mark... So it mainly depends on how rare the train will be going forward... But given the Lego seasonal GWP tradtian of only have a fewe staples and tghe rest are one year and done... The best time to get that train is now as it may run out when the nest two sales hits and they may have a new run for the end of the year but I would not count on it...
Good comment, thanks my friend! Yeah, GWPs are always an enigma and tough to predict...some do great, some not so much and some are surprises! Best of luck!
You're totally right...I screwed that up! Not too smart by me. It never even crossed my mind, tunnel vision at midnight I guess, haha! Thanks for the assist and sharing with the group! All the best!
… the Ecto 1 is gorgeous! It got me out of the dark ages. I love all of the Easter eggs, absolute amazing build. Definitely recommend people curious to build this one.

You're welcome and thanks so much! Happy shopping!
The Treehouse is $250 retail, but with the 20% discount your bill would only be $200, and you wouldn't get the record player GWP.
You are 100% correct... pretty dumb on my part to make that mistake 🤣. Mathing is hard at midnight!

Yeah, me too...it'd be surprising if it doesn't go at least 20% off before the end of the year. Could be a good target exclusive option!
If you add a small non exclusive item such as a keyring to your order then you get Rakuten at the higher percentage for the whole of the order.
Yeah, I've heard that works sometimes! I haven't tried it yet...
@@kdxbricksanalytics I have tried it and it works..
Great coverage Kevin! The A frame cabin is a better deal for sure. And the office is a steal! Happy hunting!
Thanks as always Will! Yup, it's fun and exciting with all the deals...you too, happy hunting!!
Bought 2 of the AT-AT because I said if it ever got good I would buy!
Nice! I think they'll do great...best of luck with them!
A tip with Rakuten - if you order a little keychain or DND or space minifig, Rakuten will give you the full percentage off even in exclusive and hard to find sets.
Also, you need to factor in tax to the final cost.
I tried it didnt work. Initially Rakuten gave me 15% but very soon it adjusted to 3%
@@tg1600It worked on 2 out of my 3 orders.
Yeah, I've heard it works sometimes, but I've never tried it.

The at-at sold out in the UK in under an hour on the Lego website
That’s why I never saw it on there then 😂
Dang, that was quick!!! Did you get one?
@@kdxbricksanalyticsno, I was tempted but fell asleep 😭😂. It was probably for the best
@@The_Brick_Side😂yup, I think a few of the deals have gone now. Did you manage to grab anything?
@@YippeeMK Just 2 of the City Gardens. I think I’ve spent most of my allocation for Lego investing for the year! What did you grab?
GWP I’d factor 50 for both as the floor
Yeah, my estimate was low! Looks like I'm selling the record player for $45 later today (local sale).
We’ve been waiting for that discount on the City Gardens, I wasn’t sure it was going to come. I ordered 1, had a think about it, ordered a second and then they went out of stock here 🇬🇧

What do you think of including a 10% tax in your final cost? I do that and find it gives me a more accurate total % off
I agree. I've included it in some previous videos, but I was moving quick on this one to get it out as soon as possible after the deals posted at midnight! 😁
If you add a cheap non-exclusive or hard to find item then you will get the full percentage off
Yeah, I've heard that, I will have to try it! I've also heard Rakuten's system corrects it a few days later sometimes. All the best!
What do you think about 43227? Three unique and recognizable minifigures, short shelf and 30% off.
Still not my favorite at 30% off. I'd be a maybe at 45% off. The builds are just ok for me and only 4 villains Minifigures at the $130 RRP seems light. If it had double the Minifigures, then I'd be in! Did you grab any? It is a target exclusive though!

Woops accidentally deleted my first reply! Either way, awesome pickups... enjoy!
Got 15% via Rakuten, for the Harry potter set (not listed as exclusive). So that makes the deal even better.
Outstanding! Yeah, that was one of the few on sale that was eligible for 15%. Enjoy it!
City Gardens sold out before I could even get into the site.
In Europe it lasted 26 minutes
Ditto
same here and I'm still gutted and reeling over it
Same i wanted to build a modular city with it too sad day

Waited 15 minutes to get in last night and it was already sold out, I should've picked it up last year like you did
@jeremychurch5683 Oh well...there's always the City Markets when it eventually retires.
Hey guys! I missed out on gardens too, that went soooo quick! But, I got crazy lucky this morning and got the last one in my local store. Sorry it didn't work out for you guys...😕 but yeah, city markets is awesome too!

Any thoughts on the Batman Tumbler??
It's a remake. Avoid.

wasn't really interested in anything, was rather kind of a week sale. not much was on sale, but did miss the at-at, ah well

Good comment, thanks my friend! Yeah, GWPs are always an enigma and tough to predict...some do great, some not so much and some are surprises! Best of luck!
You are calculating meeting GWP minimum using retail price for sale items. I’m not sure that’s accurate
Minimum retail on those is 30 and 20 right?
You're totally right...I screwed that up! Not too smart by me. It never even crossed my mind, tunnel vision at midnight I guess, haha! Thanks for the assist and sharing with the group! All the best!
@ This is a busy content week, mistakes are human. You are appreciated!
Yeah, very busy but very very fun couple of weeks. I appreciate your understanding!! Take care my friend!
It’s double vip points so it’s actually %20
normal vip points is only 5%, so double is 10%
Yeah, double increases to just 10%. But sometimes they do 4x and then we're talking 20% which is awesome!!
First!
