house72 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I agree with the above. I been here not more than a month, I know what that number means/refers to with LEGO. Now the LEGO abbreviations and acronyms, well that's another story.. Uggh. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindblow21 Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 10179 should be seared into every brickpicker's mind!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boliramirez Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 I think it is probably 500 more expensive than the average 10179 I been seen on ebay....... By the way, who has one used that they want to part way at a reasonable price? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarleyMoose Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 It's a 1st edition which seems to help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mudcatsfan Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 As to whether they'd do any more 3000 piece sets, They DID just do a 2996 one. http://shop.lego.com/en-US/The-SHIELD-Helicarrier-76042 I see no reason why they might not do a similar scaled (if not bigger than the helicarrier) for the Falcon which has a MUCH wider fan base, and a whole new legion of movies coming out.

Britsnap Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I think they will. There will not be one this year but maybe a large at at walker and poss ankther MF next year. I have up waiting and bricklinked one minus a few parts for $700. If it is not too hard to put together I am going to bricklink again with target of $800 max and sell for $1499 on eBay.

asharerin Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Price has really jumped on the 1st edition sealed sets. $4.5k. Nice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrickSapper Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 (edited) So I am still sitting on three of these with two still in unopened lego shipping boxes. I think it might be time to sell and move on. I haven't looked at these for 7 years so tomorrow I am going to dig into the storage room and see if these are first editions or just regular ones. I honestly don't know which is sort of embarrassing to state. Edited March 5, 2015 by BrickSapper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Follows Closely Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 I sold my last one 6 month back. no regrets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneknightr Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 I sold my last one 6 month back. no regrets. I sold mine about 9 months ago for $3200 shipped on eBay. I only regret it a little since I don't have one to keep. It was my only one but at a $1000 buy-in, I figured it was time to sell. And I needed money to buy other stuff.

tmock12 Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 I have/had zero . However, maybe wait until the new movie this winter? It could potentially rekindle some people who were kids during the original movies who are now adults with extra cash. Just my opinion but if you've waited this many years I'd consider waiting to see if the new movie brings in some new buyers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaisonline Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Anyone try for this auction?http://m.ebay.com/itm/221804910516I put in an offer of $1k but someone paid $1200 before my offer was considered. I liked how the box, 2 masts and other items looked accounted for.It needs at least...$500+ instructions$2 unknown # of light gray levels.At least 1/2 looked present$150-$200 radar dish.$100-$200 sticker sheet.$30 or so for the 4 minifigs.It was a nice buy-in price but too much unknowns. Nice high risk / high reward set with luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpinemaps Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 There was a 10179 up for auction at Shopgoodwill tonight. Ended at $1,557. Not sure if it was complete. But, just for giggles, here was the listing: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpinemaps Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 I did not feel comfortable bidding that much on something that I just couldn't ensure was complete. Too many pricy parts that, if missing, would not make this a good deal after all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siddji Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Hi all,So I ended up purchasing a MF 10179 for $2500 used with box, stickers and manuals. I asked the seller if it was complete since I noticed that the radar dish was different without the lines. He said :"The lego set belongs to my late brother who passed away last year.I am in business trip this week, I have confirmed with my family that the sticker still in the box.It comes with certificate of authenticity as my late brother bought this set when he was in USA for his study. You definitely getting what you see in the picture."The seller (from Malaysia) had given me a 2nd chance offer as I assume the highest bidder backed out. I paid him via paypal. I got this message after a couple of days:"Thanks for your payment. I just received the confirmation from Paypal.I need to let you know that I will be traveling to CHINA for business trip this coming Friday due to some urgent matters, and not able to pack you item on time to ship it out as I need to dismantle and make sure no missing parts before send the item to you. I will be back on next Friday (7th August), and I will ship out your item right after I come back from the business trip. Please let me know if you are OK for the arrangement, else I will return the money to you and we cancel the deal. I am sorry for the delay."I am in a Dillema whether to cancel or just wait?
