Yay.  Two more perfectly fine but uninspired figures made out of old figures. 

I just got the same notification from Pulse.

Very sorry for your loss, McMetal.

Like others have said, doing business with any dealer is going to come with a cost - they need to be able to make money on the deal.  That can definitely get things done more quickly.  But at what cost?

I guess the big question might be about any liabilities there might be for your brother's estate, and do you need to provide for anyone?  Being able to provide more funds for anyone that he left behind might be a greater consideration than getting rid of things quickly.  And that's a family decision.  I don't envy you having to make that.

This is a general topic that has been troubling me lately.  I'm a single parent, and I have one kid.  I have a TON of stuff in my collection.  I've been selling a lot of it off for the past 5 - 6 years, but there's still so much left.  And I do not want to burden my kid with this.  A friend of mine has begun selling off his collection, too, for similar reasons.  In his case it was prompted by dealing with the estate of a parent and all that was left behind.

I might go the dealer route for my GI Joe collection as well as my comics.  Simply because of how much there is.  I've been hesitant to start selling my Transformers, but those need to go, too.  Thankfully there's not that much of those and dealing with it might be a lot more manageable.  And my extra Star Wars?  That's been an ongoing effort that I'm going to keep working through.  And it's because I don't want to leave this overwhelming situation for someone to deal with.

Also at EE for some reason -> https://ee.toys/M0CWBZ   #sponsoredlink

Looks like the two sets I pre-ordered at EE are processing.  UPS delivery notification says they will be here next week.

see if there are any LEGO resell shops in your area. We have one here called Bricks and Minifigs, which I think may be a national chain.

They just opened one of these near me recently with plans for a couple others in the Twin Cities soon.

I have heard too that they will try to lowball you (since they have to make a profit too).  I kinda look at them like a pawn show or trying to sell cards to collector shops.  If something is "worth" $100, they have to get it from you for 30-50% to make a profit selling it for $100.  You won't get the full value, but they take the brunt of the work finding the buyers. 

I guess it goes back Rob's point about whether you value speed and ease of selling them or full value/money.
