June 2013 Update on the UCS X-Wing Fighters

This entry is about the values for the two different UCS X-Wing Fighters and how the remake is affecting the values. There is a good article about the First Impressions of the set. Here is the link: http://www.brickpicker.com/forum/index.php/blog/5/entry-188-first-impressions-10240-ucs-x-wing-remake/

After one month of being on the market, both UCS sets have risen in value. This is very surpirsing. My personal thoughts were that the new UCS set would rise in value and that the old UCS set would decrease in value. I was wrong. Here is the data for both sets.

7191 UCS X-Wing Fighter:
Value:

• New: $793.47, Up 2.15% from May 2013.
• Used: $285.29, Up 17.35% from May 2013.

Both values for this set had increased in the past month.

10240 UCS Red Five X-Wing Starfighter:
Value:

• New: $254.95, Up 1.98% from May 2013.
• Used: $173.50.

Since the remake, I thought that there would be more people buying the newer UCS set because it was more avaiable, thus driving the value for the set up. Because of that factor, I thought the interest in the older UCS set was going down and there would be less sales and at lower prices, thus driving the value of the set downward. All of my thoughts are wrong at this point in time.

More data next month in July 2013 . . .
