@@chaoticclonestudios a battle droid is almost worth a dollar so if he got 5000 battle droids and he wanted to sell them he could basically get all of his money back
Just because the Republic Bricks Twilight is "valued at $270 retail," doesn't actually mean its market value is anywhere near that asking price. I'm not surprised that it only sold for $99 - that's what happens when you go to sell originally grossly-overpriced products on a second hand site!
@@user-op8fg3ny3j they need pieces off bricklink and the piece prices , shippig and things sellers say like minimum purchase $__ they also need to profit
The beginning bit about just buying the figure you want can be extended to the recent drama of CMF series. If you want a figure, now that we cant feel for them with the boxes (it is meant to be a mystery item after all), go buy that figure! Dont waste your time with LEGOs boxes if you dont like em, let someone else do it and hit up bricklink for the one you want
I've bought 1 mystery item on Whatnot and spent $157 (floor was $150, average was $220, and ceiling was $650). I got the first item and it ended up being the $650 item!
@MandProductions this is my favorite kind of video.I’m trying to build my clone army so these videos really help revealing value and cost of certain figures, thanks!
I'd love to see another one where you actually get to keep what you want. You could add some rules to keep it interesting, but I'm sad to see you have to give these up lol
Love the banners! Definitely not willing to but any of these "mystery boxes" especially when I hate customs with a passion and would probably dish out some unessacary crap if all I got was figs someone molded in their basement, but I will go ask some sellers if they'd sell me a banner.
I am St3pL1ghtly. Can confirm, great deal on the prototype figures and I stand by what I said in the stream. It was a decent gamble overall, since MandR managed to almost make all of his money back (disregarding taxes and fees) while holding onto the banner. A higher price on the Twilight would have simply made it actually profitable rather than even. Well played and thanks for the figures!
I purposefully didn't advertise the stream anywhere, run giveaways, or tell people what I was doing to get the best results possible. No matter what you'll have different results from different people on any given day tho!
@@MandRproductions Yeah, but his point kinda stands because the second anyone sees that it's you doing the auction, they're immediately more likely to place bets they otherwise wouldn't have. Your point is taken that you purposefully avoided advertising/calling attention to the auction, but if you had, that probably just would've guaranteed a 2x profit on your purchases here.
Like the frequent uploading! I predict you found out about the new algorithm. Posting more frequently helps! Even though your posting more often, the quality of your vids is not diminishing. Keep it up!
The headphone audio is still only playing in the left headphone, and it only seems to happen on your videos, specifically when you use the vlog or pack opening camera… might want to check that out! Anyways, great video! Really enjoyed it!
I think it kinda goes to show how overpriced custom sets are. I get that republic bricks needs to make a profit but his sets are a bit overpriced in my opinion
As much as the prices suck, they are kind of justififed. Buying pieces on bricklink is super expensive especially when you consider shipping prices. On top of that, a lot of time goes into manually sorting the parts and stuff. For them to be profitable they can't be anywhere close to normal Lego prices.
I saw this listing on eBay this morning I think I’m going to buy one box for £400. The description says it’s always even or a win and the best thing u can get is a ucs star destroyer
i would have kept bidding on the Twlight but i already have the "real" set from Lego and that version just looked like it substituted tiles for plates in a lot of areas.
A little while ago I bought a sand trooper w/ orange pauldron that came in the mos eisley cantina. And while I assumed it would come 100% complete, it did not. A few things were wrong, like the face was just a clone face from the mid-late 2010’s, even tho it’s supposed to be a different face. The back pack also came different, some pieces that were supposed to be there were, most weren’t, and there were some that even weren’t supposed to be there. I tried replacing the pieces from my collection but some I didn’t have.
I love this idea Ryan. I would love if this became a series. Keep up these awesome Whatnot videos!!! Try doing a mystery box with lego Star Wars sets instead of mini figures.
Please understand- you will not get the same things he gets from RepublicBricks, Timmy is very good at making sure 'important' addresses get way better mystery shit than everybody else.

Imagine if he spent like $5000 and only got battle droids. That'd be funny. Not for you Ryan, obviously, but for us 🤣.
I mean could he sell 5000 battle droids

You really gotta give Ryan props for staying totally committed to his rules. Well almost totally.

everyone hyping up what not there’s some serious price gouging and fishy stuff going on
Unfortunately buying all the parts to create it is indeed $200+. People got to realize custom set sellers can't compete with lego pricing regardless.

@@repticare101 you would probably buy more then 2 trying to get the figure you want/
@@Vor1ki Which wouldn't happen with the old way that should not have been changed. That's the whole point.
You realize you'd be paying a lot more on bricklink? Probably at least double the price.
@@gbrow1604 Either do that or take your chances on an intentional mystery item.
@@BlaiseTM But why remove the choice of being able to know what's in the bag for people that really want to know?
I’m really loving these Whatnot videos, and I’m also really glad that you’re uploading frequently again!
'Tis always a tragedy when he doesn't upload at least four times a week.
This is an awesome idea Ryan, the whatnot stream was great, this is something I'd like to see more of in the future
Crap. I forgot about it!
Lathrix is that you?
Please whoever is reading this don’t buy lego mystery boxes, they only exist to make more money for the seller

I think the rule should've been... you can keep all items that you want to keep, but they don't add to the value at the end ;P
If LEGO had a monthly mystery box that I could pay a subscription for...I would.
Advertising gambling to children usually doesn’t end well
@@Somethingelse506 every game with loot boxes ever would disagree
@@DukeofSalt sad that ending well to you means making a lot of money rather than children growing up without gambling addictions
I love how excited you got on this video. It proves even though you can buy anything you want of Star Wars you still love it!
Ryan’s the only man doing these kinds of challenges! Keep up the great work dude.

Now I know why you "had" to sell those city figs when I was watching your Whatnot stream.
Lmaooooo right!
Did he get corrected on fives' name??
Also being an influencer heavily increases the odds of making your money back 😂

It’s easy to make your money back when your a popular creator and people bid higher than usual just cause it’s from you

That Deathtrooper banner is fantastic and I don't blame you one bit for keeping it!
Ryan slammed his computer closed like he was caught on the hub
If I knew you were selling a lunchbox you would've made money

love these vids!
This feels like torchure for Ryan, I wouldn't sell any of this...
Honestly I have enough at this point. Me 5 years ago different story!
@@MandRproductions Still, I could tell it hurt to part with that translucent-green Vader and lunchbox

There’s no way they make a profit
@@kelpywelpy3667 how? The lowest item is a foil pack.
Every time he said he wanted to change to rule I died laughing. Great video Ryan!
If you did this again what you should be allowed to do is sell enough to break even, and keep or sell whatever else there is
That's a brilliant idea.
Whoops, didn’t realize you were filming when I responded to the group chat 😂
i would have kept bidding on the Twlight but i already have the "real" set from Lego and that version just looked like it substituted tiles for plates in a lot of areas.
Man is uploading like crazy! Great video Ryan!
Yo, two videos in one day from the Vlog and Main channel? This is epic
The mystery boxes with the banners in seem to be very good
This was an amazing video! I love it when you post!
Awesome video concept. The lego econ social experiment stuff has been cool to watch (This vid and the lego market crash vid)
There was definitely something that was very good that he cut from the video so he could keep.
can some one pleas explain. are the single color lego figures with no prints official or not?
Was fun being apart of this vid was fun times
How are those translucent figures real? They have no Lego logo on them. Can you do a full detailed video on them?
Thanks for the RB barc speeder instructions
Definitely do more vids like this great video
This is acc a really good and interesting video!
You should do the republic bricks one with those mystery boxes
Very cool idea ngl, would like to see more over time :)
Aye I peed that CWL champs poster! You’ve earned a new subscriber. Who did you root for pre CDL
The rule should be you find the value but you dont have to sell it
Ryan:"I have to sell everything... NEW RULE! :D
nice pricing for the republic bricks moc
Timmy is a scammer, plain and simple. At the end of the day, $99 was much closer to the market value than his asking price of $270
are you sure about it i hear 50%good50%bad about republic bricks
10:00"but the rule is keep everything..."
Wishfull thinking ay?
What app were you using to buy Lego mini figs in the beginning of the video?
You are my fav Lego RUclipsr. The way you “ fixed “ Boba Fetts palace is my fav video. I have watched it at least 10 times. I even did it myself!
New Rule: Ryan gets to keep everything
keep what you want man. we really don’t mind
At 10:00 he said keep everything😂
how come the darth vaders are official lego ?
did people in the moulding factories make them without lego knowing?
I would keep the lego star wars banner of the death troopers for sure lolll , nice one !!
You can keep it all and no one should bat an eye Matt!
Love the vids ryan
this one was a way funnier video then usual I loved this xD
New rule I keep everything and make the money on the vid
lmao
I once bought a 15 pound pack of mystery bags and I got a white boba fett ph2 Rex plus a chrome vader

You called a random clone commando scorch that wasn’t even one of the commandos, or some random custom version of a of Ahsokas legion
Dude the banner is awesome!

I’m pretty sure those city figures from Amy brown were the ones I gave, Thanks for helping to support the cause!
Omg I used to have that complete saga lunch box! I forgot all about that thing.
How much was the custom mystery box before you opened the big 3
Tell me Where did you get that anakin skywalker
If I want to buy the solid colour clone troopers/ vader figs, where would I look and what would you call them?
Keep everything you want to ): it’ll boost the cost of the house you’re wanting to buy
I must sell all. New rule for everything he likes. Lol. I understand that feeling Ryan.
How does whatnot work because no matter what I search it’ll only show me funko pops or cards
love the banner by the way

No lol

is the highlighter yellow clone real lego?
Question... why do you blink do much? Just curious

How do I joint a whatnot auction from New Zealand, it says I can't
Bro you should have kept everything you whanted by wining your own auctioned 😂😂
he should've kept more stuff, theres a lot of cool things.
Please please please where can I get those banners 😮
Please understand- you will not get the same things he gets from RepublicBricks, Timmy is very good at making sure 'important' addresses get way better mystery shit than everybody else.
