So I was putting together my order yesterday for Batman, Star Wars, and Marvel superhero Legos for my kids. As I was on Google, price checking to see what the gen sets sell for, I noticed that Ebay sellers are also selling these same complete sets - sometimes for even less money than AliE. Being curious, I logged onto Ebay.
When I went to the Ebay stores, it turns out that none of the Ebay sets include the packaging. You just get a bag of parts. Since these are Xmas gifts for my kids that's not going to work. On Ali you get the whole shebang. Also, sometimes you can also click the option to have the box or no box. I like that Ali gives you the choice. With Ebay you have to dig and hunt through all the fine print to discover that you aren't getting anything other than parts.
So Ali FTW, at least in this case.
