Why? You can still get rid of the old by at around 2500 Euro...

Not every collector knows about the new Falcon..

Yeah, I'm going to published a blog about my 10179 experience.  I was one of the lucky ones this summer after rumors started getting insane.

I'm glad I never went down the Bricklinking road I considered.

But we did have very brief discussions about buying mine 2 years ago  

that would have been far worse for ya.

Yup. Hear that? It's the sound of the price on 10179 plummeting to earth. This set is beautiful!

I think you are in the wrong forum.

I have decided to change the title to "LEGO Investing Is For Dummies"

If any UK 10179 sellers are desperate, I'll pay up to £342.49 and it HAS to be mint ;-)

LOL - But I think it could turn out to be true.

Still being listed on Kijiji for $2,500 in most of Canada.

And there is even a listing warning other potential buyer about the 75192. Although nothing wrong with that, just left a bitter taste in the mouth the way the poster described it.

Nothing like testing the waters for desperation on eBay Oz, offering sellers who include a best price in their listings: $500 for new (listed ~$4,200) or $250 for used (listed ~$2,500) 10179's.

No takers yet....

All right. Which one of you guys is this?  This is even lower than eBay right now...

"Missing sticker" "lost manual" "few pieces fell off" (let me guess, the expensive ones) "missing two figs" ..... this thing screams BrickLinked, no matter that they claim "authentic bought in the store".

1500-2000 euros now gets you a new one. It will be interesting to see how that evolves as a) it becomes available at SAH b; gets into normal stores as of January.

Bricklinked and counterfeit examples still account for most listings on Ebay so there may not be that many MISB´s still out there anyway.

Time will tell but I reckon new ones will be going for less than 1k euros in 2018 and complete used ones for 500-700.

10179 value proposition.

In the last week, two were sold on a Dutch FB group. Complete with box. The first one sold for € 1.900. The second one, a first edition, went for € 1.100. Seems like it's going down fast.

[MarleyMoose]

As George once said. "I'm going down with the ship."

I bought a very nice used 1st edition 10179 a few years ago for $2500 because I had to have it. I'll wait to buy the 75192 at a discount or 2x VIP. When bought it will look great next to the 10179 whenever I get around to building either of them. 

[Voltron]

Has anybody built 75192 and 10179? Wondering what everyone views is from a build perspective.

Based on the video reviews of 75192, my personal preference is that I prefer the 75192 better.

I've never seen 10179 so looking forward to visiting the lego shop soon to hopefully see the 75192 built.

I think 2 days ago there is a post in this thread with a video review where they had built both.  There were a few old school sentimental reasons they liked the 10179 but overwhelmingly the 75192 blows it away.  The overall design, building techniques, angles, connections and 1500 pieces of detail were some of the main improvements.
