Retired Lego sets.

Where is the best place to get retired Lego sets? Ebay range is from $250-$400 and Amazon is $400. I just don't trust Ebay much and worry it wouldn't arrive in time for Christmas.

 

Just suck it up and pay $400 on Amazon and know I have it on time????

Not much choice. It also might depend on how long it has been retired. I got the Café Corner in a Lego shop. I bought it over the phone and paid retail + shipping. Great investment of $150 because  sold it 3 years later for $1000. What set are you looking for?

Robie House 21010

You picked a doozy, lol. If it's on Amazon and you want it before Christmas, you are paying $379, lol. You could give an IOU and try to win it. Email the seller on Ebay and see if he will end the auction early and offer a price win expedited shipping. They might do it if they are trying to unload it for some quick cash.

Ended up buying it on Ebay. $344 with expedited shipping. That's not the only gift showing up on Christmas Eve. lol The rest of the gift is tickets to the real Robie House in Chicago and a hotel stay that weekend. All I had to do for that part was some clicking, printing, then done.

I did something similar, but not for Christmas. We went to Paris and London last year and I ended up buying the Eiffel Tower (the big set $$$) and the Tower Bridge. It's cool to make the connection. Sounds like you made a good deal. Enjoy your trip and building your set( if you decide to).

Thanks. It's for my husband.
