brickphase Posted November 11, 2014 Posted November 11, 2014 Told tru rockets planned for DVD release bonus That makes sense because the back of the polybag states "NOT FOR SALE." Quote
Ciglione Posted November 26, 2014 Posted November 26, 2014 Any news on these? I read somewhere that there is a possibility that these won't be around for the usual two years. Forgot where I read it. Here in Europe there are some nice discounts on them like -35%. I am thinking about stocking up on these now. Quote
njseale Posted November 26, 2014 Posted November 26, 2014 Well, just remember that the Avengers sets were out 2 years and Iron Man #3 sets are still around, so I wouldn't be so sure these don't have the standard 2 year cycle. That being said not a horrible idea to start accumulating these now if the goal is to get a lot of them. Quote
pickleboy Posted November 26, 2014 Posted November 26, 2014 The movie was pretty good. Could have been great... The end with the dancing really left a sour taste in my mouth. Groot was awesome though.... Quote

Yeah, in the Lego catalog of this semester it says GotG sets are "Available for a limited time". I've never seen this tag before, I don't know if it means that or just a marketing ploy to try to sell more. Quote
DFC01 Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 In the catalogue for 2015, GotG sets are gone and were replaced with the new Avengers sets. Really weird Lego giving up on these sets so early. They were available for what, one year?! Quote
Ciglione Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 Really weird yes. But good for us investors. My opinion. Quote
cvail8 Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 In the catalogue for 2015, GotG sets are gone and were replaced with the new Avengers sets. Really weird Lego giving up on these sets so early. They were available for what, one year?! Don't know that they're "giving up"... GotG is basically a new franchise. Plus I'm sure they need the shelf space for the new Avengers sets. Quote
biniou Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 (edited) Really weird yes. But good for us investors. My opinion. Only three sets for this nice movie. Thanos (the very bad guy in avengers 3) make an appearance in it. And another GotG is coming on 2017. My advice is to begin stocking the 3 sets (each set has its own unique minifigs, and each set is good). Quite easy to get some with 35% off now. You'll have to wait some time before seeing again in a set the coolest raccoon in the galaxy. I have a really good feeling about these sets when EOL... I can't stop this feeling Deep inside of me... IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII'm hooked on a feeling ! Edited December 16, 2014 by biniou Quote
DFC01 Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 Really weird yes. But good for us investors. My opinion. Yup, really great. I still have to get the Groot/Rocket Rackoon set, guess I'll have to hurry a little bit. Only three sets for this nice movie. Thanos (the very bad guy in avengers 3) make an appearance in it. And another GotG is coming on 2017. My advice is to begin stocking the 3 sets (each set has its own unique minifigs, and each set is good). Quite easy to get some with 35% off now. You'll have to wait some time before seeing again in a set the coolest raccoon in the galaxy. I'm doing that (stocking packs of 3 sets). The movie has a sequel confirmed, made a ton of movie, has some very popular characters (Groot and RR) and yet is backlisted against 76017 which has many years. Even the Iron Man3 sets had more time on the catalogue. Crazy options Lego made with these ones by stating they were available for a limited time (they weren't lying). Quote
Spensar Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 Thoughts on the 76020 set - Escape from Nowhere. I like the large Groot minifig - not a big set but the figs and being the 1st movie has some appeal here. 1 Quote
Brickbuilder.g Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 Thoughts on the 76020 set - Escape from Nowhere. I like the large Groot minifig - not a big set but the figs and being the 1st movie has some appeal here. the set is total garbage and two of the figs are lame but I still think rocket and groot make this a big winner down the line. Then again lego can make a regular groot minifig and thing a could change...there are two rockets already and I'm sure more to come...not anytime soon though. I think this set goes to $80 by Christmas if it's gone by summer Quote
Falderal Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 Also, there's an animated series coming to Disney later this year. That will give younger kids a chance to get into these characters and might give these sets a bigger Christmas bump. Quote

brickshiftmama Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 I just finished watching Gaurdians of the Galaxy in French. I am trying to improve my comprehension of the spoken language prior to a business trip I am taking to Brussels and Paris soon. Interestingly "stick up their butts" does not translate well. Quote
vexxet Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 bought 13 Milanos for 35$ each... left 3 at a walmart in my area... should i go back and get them? lol 1 Quote

Jules_K Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 In Australia these sets seem to have generally disappeared from stores, they're only available at SaH. How much more shelf life do you guys give this line? Quote
Soadfan4ever Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 In Australia these sets seem to have generally disappeared from stores, they're only available at SaH. How much more shelf life do you guys give this line? There is much speculation that this line may have a short life but that seems to be just hopeful guessing. Here in the the US the Milano has been cleared from most Walmarts, but is readily available everywhere else and online. I don't know if any regional retailers have cleared them yet. I have quite a few Milanos so I hope they go quickly but who knows. When was the last Super Heroes set that disappeared quickly? Maybe the Chopper or Hulk Breakout? I doubt they will under produce this line given most of the sets are based on popular films and comic book storylines. Quote
TheOrcKing Posted March 7, 2015 Posted March 7, 2015 My Target is the only place left with a stack of Milano Spaceships and a couple of Knowhere Escape (all retail). I can't even find the small one anymore unless somebody hid that in the store from me. Quote

I can't even find the small one anymore unless somebody hid that in the store from me. Our targets had at least 10-15 stacked of the small guardians set after Christmas...now I've not seen them hardly at all and they weren't clearanced so must have sold well Quote

I can't even find the small one anymore unless somebody hid that in the store from me.I noticed 3 Milanos today at a Target marked up to $99.99. I wonder what price they'll use when they start clearancing these things? Quote
