Yellowtot Posted June 9, 2015 Posted June 9, 2015 It will be a solid £200 by Christmas and most of us bought for around £60, so just stay the course. Quote
CNH1974 Posted June 9, 2015 Posted June 9, 2015 Where are you getting your data from? 9470 is easily fetching £35-£40 on ebay. RRP was £20 and buy-in was easy for £10 from Tesco. At the time of writing, from memory. But i did my monthly check today. You're right 9470 is topping £40-45, 9471 £45ish. 9742 similar. 9473 is around £70 or it's RRP. Bad news on 9474 though, it's down to £110-120 from £150 earlier this year. These are the BIN prices, auctions tend to be lower. Quote
maestro Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 I bought 1 each of The Battle of Helm's Deep 9474, Uruk-hai Army 9471 & The Orc Forge 9476. Should I sell these 3 as a complete set? Quote

Should I sell these 3 as a complete set?That is an exact bundle I bought. These were three sets I missed as I came to the party a little late from the dark ages. 1 Quote
seapotato Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 I think the lotr sets are doing fine in Canada if you bought at a discount. I've been selling a few of my used sets on amazon for good prices in the last few months. 1 Quote

zskid00 Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 It depends on how much you actually sell it for and if you are including shipping in that price or charging separately. 1 Quote

maestro Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 what is selling price ? Take about 13% in fees and add shipping cost I'm asking $390 but I know they won't meet that price. No fees, no shipping as this is a collection in person. Quote

Was that recently?Do you think it's worth holding off for 6 months to a year to see value rise?$350 would see me make $165 profitI have no doubt they will continue to go up, especially when the last Hobbit sets disappear from the shelves this year. I see this theme as like Harry Potter. Based on consistently popular books and released only because of very popular films which are not coming again. There will be no reissues so any fan in the future or who missed out now is going to pay a pretty penny to get them. Really depends on your timeframe and whether you think you could reinvest the proceeds now for better growth. I did sell my last available such combo at the start of the year and no longer have any Helms Deep left. I bought that for $90 CDN. Still have one or two of the other sets left. 1 Quote

jeff_14 Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 I can't argue with that. Orthanc is the real gem in this line and should appreciate well on retirement. Looks like the Death Star is finally done so this is the current must buy from all of Lego's offerings in my book. 1 Quote

Then I'd want the 3 in the bundle to line up with it . . . Quote
jeff_14 Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 Hm maybe I should buy an Orthanc to build for myself. Then I'd want the 3 in the bundle to line up with it . . . I highly recommend that. Got mine for Christmas the other year and it is the coolest set I've ever built. The playability, the detail, and the ominously imposing size and appearance are incredible. 1 Quote

MillerTime Posted October 10, 2015 Posted October 10, 2015 Out of all sets I've purchased over the years, this one is probably the most surprising. Hard to believe it's only up 40-50% after a couple years. After fees and taxes that leaves very little on the table. I would have thought this would be pushing $250 by now. It's a terrific set. 3 Quote
