Topic: What to do with 300 Chima Sets???

I knew it was a bad idea, and that Lego was really hyping something that no one wanted, but the owner went overboard and bought more Chima sets than everything else combined in the Spring, and with 300 sets just sitting there, didn't know what else to do with them.  We ended up putting 11 different sets at 20% off just to get them to move!

I know a good method which worked well for me:

Step 1: Throw the boxes into a trash can.
Step 2: Put it on the streets and wait for a garbage truck to come by to remove your rubbish.
Step 3: Enjoy!

That'd be a waste of money though, w00t.

Annoyingly, I haven't bought a single Chima set this year. Behind Superheroes, it's probably my favourite current theme (let the hate begin). I've even played the video game, and love every second of it (except the sewer level in Rhino Quarry, egh).

So in answer to your question, you could donate them all to the Rizzo Mainframe...? jkz

BTW there's a toy store near me that still has the Serpentine from whatever year they came out. It's those spinners, and they reduced them to £7.50 from £10. They've been on that rack since they came out, and nobody's bought them, but the store's still trying to shift 'em. So perseverance, I guess. Maybe put up some Chima posters and publicise the sale a bit more? Which sets specifically aren't selling, because Speedorz would work great for a 'buy one get one half price'. You could also do the same, but with a larger set/small set combo. Buy one of the £20/£30 sets (don't know what that's like in dollars) and get half off a smaller set.

If you've got polybags to shift, you could proffer them with the purchase of a larger set.

Hope this helps!

Don't hate a guy for enjoying Chima.  My favorite series is Lego Friends and I'm an adult man.  But Chima's popularity certainly does not match the amount TLG has invested into promoting it.

I'd buy them if they were on sale. I bought a Chima set (Eris’ Eagle Interceptor) for 12 dollars at walmart. That's about half off. I buy them for the bricks mostly, so don't hate Chima, just see it as a way to get some bricks. mini/wink

Break the sets down and sell each piece on brick link (check demand first).
