What’s an Excess Stock Sale?
Excess stock be the leftover plunder from the first production run — sets freed up after failed payments, cancelled orders, and what not. ’Tis not a fresh haul from the LEGO factory, but the scraps leftover after original backers fled on the rising tide when it was discovered their gold was rotten.
So when BrickLink throws the hatch open and the sale begins, it will become a wild scramble on deck… new limits, fresh chances, and only a handful of sets for the quickest buccaneers. The supply may deplete in a heartbeat, and only the quickest cutlasses walk away with the prize.
In other words, first in, first served!
What Do Yer Think?
Shall ye seize this opportunity and buy The Thieves of Tortuga, especially if yer missed out during the initial Crowdfunding?
Plot yer course as the clock be tickin’ down to the April 20 sale…
