I bought the x-wing UCS from 2000 for $1,200 and it was shipped in a flimsy box that was barely bigger than the set. Needless to say, after 24 years of it being perfect it was crushed when it arrived. I contacted whatnot and got a full refund. I was very disappointed in the packaging of my $1,209 set and was shocked to see in this video how they packaged the $9,000 cloud city set. Expensive sets should have been either double boxed or placed in much stronger boxes for shipping and not the standard flimsy Amazon style boxes. Would be interested in hearing if others purchased sets from the auction and had them arrive damaged.
Honestly really disappointed in them after hearing this, thanks for making this known, I’d expect to receive a package from them the way they’d like to receive it. He often bashes Lego for the packaging.
Personally I think.all the very expensive sets should have been wrapped in but bubble wrap out inside a much larger & stonger box with additional packaging . When I send out any collectables at any price I make sure they are properly packaged . That's how expect to receive anything I but & I disagreements it Also when I buy i also request how it's packed before paying . If received damaged I expect a refund or a good discount if I decide to keep it.
The absolute worst thing about these streams was one of the whatnot mods in chat that kept spamming about checking bins while refusing to elaborate what bin even is. You can give me ten thousand dollars credit and I would never use that stupid app again.
The amount of failed payments and "accidental" bids was wild. The amount of extra work that caused was not worth it. Failed payments and "accidental" bids should have been an instant permanent ban tbh but Ryan was too nice
Failed payments you can understand though, if your bank randomly sees a charge for a couple thousand dollars they are going to freeze it until you prove it was you
Happy I was able to get the 2001 AT-ST (7127) during this stream :) it was the first set my father ever bought me, and it's so nice to have again. Thanks to you, Dan, and everyone who helped make this possible. Lots of fun to be a part of
Amazing that you got that, just a quick question was the packaging good? Because people have been saying their items were destroyed they purchased from him. Thanks!
Mine came in just fine, it was in a standard Uline box so I wouldn't say flimsy (you can actually see the boxes he uses in this vlog), they are pretty standard shipping boxes and personally mine was packed snuggly. I have ordered from him in a different auction and if memory serves it was a solid box as well, but either way it wasn't crushed. So, overall my experiences were pretty positive. If anyone else had a poor experience that really sucks, but I'd put it more on the shippers at that point. If they wanted insurance on the package I believe that they would have to reach out to WhatNot as shipping and rates arent determined by Ryan. Personally, I'd question why people would wait weeks after an auction just to make a RUclips comment to complain when it that could have been taken care of privately with the opportunity to resolve any issues between then and this vlog.
I stopped watching after the first stream due to everyone buying these set over what they were on eBay and brick link but I checked in every now and again and laughed at the prices people were paying
Agreed. At this point, it’s just a matter of people’s ego and wanting to win no matter what. I get the demand for Cloud City for instance, but $10k is absurd.
That's why I don't like auction sites like Whatnot. Personally, I'm more into Pokémon, but influencers use their visibility too much to sell cards at prices far above their market value. It can go up to double or even triple just because the streamer announces a higher price.
I bought 10123 when it came out for just about £100 and it amazes me how so few people bought it back then. It was warming shelves back then, no one wanted it.
There was over 900 sets averaging over $300 a piece (probably more since we had ones like cloud city for 11k). That’s 900x300= $270,000. We’ll say $300,000. If he got like a 5% commission for hosting the sale and bringing it attention he made $15k off that weekend. No wonder he took a break.
Hey Ryan, I was wondering if there was a way I could watch your past whatnot livestreams? I really would like to see them, but I didnt watch them live.
I was bummed to miss our on the Cloud City. I spoke to Ryan about it at OBC two weeks ago. Fortunately, I found a great copy at Bricks & Minifigs in Pasadena, CA last week for several thousand less than I was prepared to bid on this version!
It's not madness. There are only 2 sealed ones on bricklink and both have bad boxes. One in Italy is at 8000 euros which is 8700 dollars plus 500 shipping and the box has a tear. One in Hong Kong in even worse condition. This also has a custom case. All of them on eBay are scams, damaged boxes or opened sets that no collectors wants.
That was a fun vlog, I felt like i bidding along the viewers, even though I wasn’t there 😂. Also, this vlog reminded me till this day I haven’t bought a 501st battle pack.
Those RUclipsr inflation prices on whatnot were ridiculous and quoting prices well over what they really go for is nuts. Ppl believe whatever they hear from influencers without doing their own research on the products. Not sure whatnot should have done an extension with you when you barely go live like maybe once a month or barely mention them in videos kinda seems like a waste
Hey Ryan! I heard a clip in here… of you saying that “I am not going to BrickFair CA, and don’t know if I ever will again”…. can I ask why not? We’ve seen you there the last times we’ve gone, and always love saying hello. Just wondering why you won’t be back! 😳
But did you actually? I've seen you relist the Cloud City set on at least two different streams. Is it finally sold as of today? Also the sets where the payment failed or they cancelled and then Dan let you buy those sets off him don't count.
There's a couple of reasons: 1, some people may have $15 whatnot credit (maybe even more) for buying first time on whatnot. 2, more likely reason, some people bid for no reason/ on accident (usually on accident) and price of sets end up selling way higher than usual
@@xavierramirez2397 it doesn't make sense to spend $200 on a set that's worth $100 and use $15 credit. No one is "accidently" hitting the button lmao. People spend these crazy prices to say they bought it off MandR.
The other hard part. Would be. Hoping. Thay pay up . Once win the action. Cas it s time wasted an. Have to. Try re sale them. Oh yes. When saleing set. You whant. But case thay not. Your s. And saleing for some one elce ..lol 😆🤣 i could emadgen. You. I whant. This one. I need that one. I whant that one. I need tho s three
I have loved Lego Star Wars since I was little and have never won anything which is okay but it would for real be nice as of recently my mom in real life died
I have the geonosian cannon and minifigures I'll give it to you. But it's been built and in my shelf for years lol. Also I bought it at toys r us in Canada so not a European exclusive.

No one asked
@@Username-s9e We did, but you probably ate the comment. Go on a diet.
What a crazy sale.
Crazy to see all these sets in person! 🤯 And help sell a few!
Legendary CPA
People dropping thousands on sets like it's nothing

@@franktitus3018 those situations were rarer than just the amount of people trolling with no money in their accounts

Where is that Lego store from?

Definitely took more than 5%..at least I hope
@blueboba24 nah 5% doesnt sound like much but its fair
@@ginger_biscuit65 thats because it really isn’t, In my experience it’s closer to 15%-20%
Hey Ryan, I was wondering if there was a way I could watch your past whatnot livestreams? I really would like to see them, but I didnt watch them live.
Anyone remember Yogy from the auction stream.
I hope there will be a follow-up where we get to know the total sum it all went for.
Can you maybe do a video showcasing for how much each set sold? Iam kinda curious
Personally bought the 66456 3 in 1, received it well packaged and no damage
I was bummed to miss our on the Cloud City. I spoke to Ryan about it at OBC two weeks ago. Fortunately, I found a great copy at Bricks & Minifigs in Pasadena, CA last week for several thousand less than I was prepared to bid on this version!
"it's a freeco speeder so it's lame" great salesman
How much did Dan end up making in the end?
I don`t understand, why they buy a few 75280 for 126$ if It costs on ebay 40$ fro each?
There was chum in the water that stream. The high bidding sharks just priced out the regular viewers.
How much did the drop-ship with at-ot sell for?
Packing issues?? Seems like Hypocrisy as we always criticize how these orders arrive from big stores.
Where is the store 😭🙏🏼
Easy to use the legs and arms from the like keychain to make a UCS minifig without a keychain
Yogy on top lol he was crazy during the streams
10k for cloud city is madness, theres dozens for sale at less than half that price, and they dont sell.
It's not madness. There are only 2 sealed ones on bricklink and both have bad boxes. One in Italy is at 8000 euros which is 8700 dollars plus 500 shipping and the box has a tear. One in Hong Kong in even worse condition. This also has a custom case. All of them on eBay are scams, damaged boxes or opened sets that no collectors wants.
I bought a sealed MIB of that set for 1.5k in 2019. After that year, the prices skyrocketed
@@nicktoonsnetwork2105wish I would have done the same. Then again, younger me never had that type of cash.
@@nicktoonsnetwork2105What's "MIB"?
This was such an event oh man

Come back
@@SergioBuilds2000 If my newer content didn’t take me 40+ hrs to make, I would, haha.
Imagine if you did end up tipping the pizza driver with cloud city 😂
Awesome sale of the LEGO - Great new video 😊
Why were people spending more than retail for current sets?? The hype of the stream?
Oh lol, I bought the hyena bomber, definitely missed that hell of an intro 😂 thanks Ryan!
Does anyone know the total dollar amount everything sold for ?
Why are you not going to brickfair Virginia?
Curious, Ryan, how many rows does the spreadsheet have? 😮
I had prebid on the U-wing play set just for it not to be available😪
Yo its me 6:44
501 😮battle pack $60 thay sale for in australia. I still hope to get one. Man.

Goodluck for the erest
Long have I waited for this vlog.
Keep it up buddy ♥
Those walls need some paint
I still can’t believe I took the L on Maul 😭
Wish we had 3in1 packs in england
I tried getting on your whatnot. Didn’t work :(
Good vlog.
Ryan, why didn’t you like brickfair?
Surprised you didn't get PTSD when opening the Artemis Launch from when Mori sent you to the fkn stratosphere.
Peak mandr streams
Freeco speeder hate out of line

Crazy!!!!

Who is Dan, I didn’t understand where all these sets came from and why the owner was willing to sell it all.
Really the battle pack for 44 dollars I got mine for 30 bucks they got plenty in store for 30 people over paying on the recent drops 😢
👇Who watched him sell cloud city in stream for like 8k
Sigo su canal desde hace ya tiempo regaleme un set de lego star wars, gracias
I MADE IT IN THE VID
But did you actually? I've seen you relist the Cloud City set on at least two different streams. Is it finally sold as of today? Also the sets where the payment failed or they cancelled and then Dan let you buy those sets off him don't count.
honestly appreciate the subtitle
first i won the what not credits they still havent showed up
I was there at the streams it was a blast🎉🎉🎉🎉
Why were people way overpaying on everything during those streams?!?!
Because they want to buy it from Mandr, heard the prices on sets went so stupidly high
There's a couple of reasons: 1, some people may have $15 whatnot credit (maybe even more) for buying first time on whatnot. 2, more likely reason, some people bid for no reason/ on accident (usually on accident) and price of sets end up selling way higher than usual

Because people are too lazy to do a eBay search or too stupid lol
FOMO IS STRONG
I wanna buy
Rich folk
🐨
Honestly, the subtitles could be nice, but they are kind of distracting.
yo are you the person who made the first vid on youtube??
Bro the people who bid on the Asoka and separatist tank are stupid that shit goes for 50 bucks on offer up people really bit over a 100 😂😂
First and awesome vid
