Neosphinx Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Compare this little white spaceman with a free chima polybag.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOrcKing Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 There is something about the box and the little booklet that makes this promo seem "classy". Also, it's only available until the middle of the month with a $99 purchase level. I think it will do well long term.Agreed. Lego could have half-arsed the thing by sticking the character and robot in a plain polybag with a tiny cheap foldout poster thing. Instead we get a nice piece of memorabilia for all fans of Classic Space, old and new. Great package with a sweet retro design and a good quality booklet included to boot. Now the booklet could have gone a little more in depth with all the Space themes over the years but that isn't much to quibble about really. Chances are if a stack of these were to be found up at the checkout where most of the typical polybags are, I would choose this Classic Spaceman over any polybag.

ravenb99 Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Spaceman sold out at local B&M store Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mynatt Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Just checked my order status, naturally traveling some bizarre path to arrive to my destination, it is at my local post office and should be delivered tomorrow. That means 7 days for it to arrive (Long time means multiple moments where a pancaking could have happened :/ ). The brickshow also reviewed this set so therefor the awareness that this set exists has been raised: Im surprised lego has not broadcasted it more on the home page at LEGO Shop at Home, currently its just the Worriz bike.

This is for VIP members only, are you logged into your VIP account? When I am logged into my VIP account and go to the Lego shopping homepage it is the first large ad I see.

When I am logged into my VIP account and go to the Lego shopping homepage it is the first large ad I see. My point was that when I'm not logged in, the promotion is not there. I would have figured if they would have posted it on the homepage, it would have premoted the VIP program for more people to sign up for it. Hence the brickshow video, raising awareness to non VIP members about this set. Edited September 10, 2014 by Mynatt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mynatt Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 (edited) Same idea of packaging of 850458 Full thing And of course looks amazing in the exo suit. Got 2 of them from 2 GEs and I can defiantly say it's an amazing investment. (Ps, argh my antenna fell behind the shelf while I took this. This happens to be the shelf where I have loads of instructions booklets in, at least 20+ lb so this is gunna be really annoying to move) Edited September 10, 2014 by Mynatt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mynatt Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Where did you get the VIP set 850358? Picked it up a few years back. Thought it would be a good investment but I haven't received the reaction that I want on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjsrt8 Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Picked it up a few years back. Thought it would be a good investment but I haven't received the reaction that I want on it.

Mynatt Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Probably because no one knows about it I've never seen this Haha yeah, this was before my investing days. I looked at it, knew it was rare, and bought one. I didn't know the slightest about investing at the time. It was 15$ so it was not the biggest loss but still thought it would have been worth something in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veegs Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 I'd pay more than $15 for it, if that helps... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stackables Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Thinking about getting this promo off of ebay. What would be a good price? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sroster Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 (edited) Thinking about getting this promo off of ebay. What would be a good price? About 25-35 seems to be the range on ebay completed sales. Seems like it should be more. Assuming you are talking about the 850458.

Fcbarcelona101 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Thinking about getting this promo off of ebay. What would be a good price? But if you're talking about the current Spaceman promo I would suggest to buy it ASAP at the lowest price available. I have a feeling that once the 14th gets here it will start getting more and more expensive 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it will be a nice little seller in Nov-Dec. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjsrt8 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 I have 5 debating on buying more. Have 5 exos to pair then when Kell one pair for myself. Buy one now. Ive gotten my for between 19.99 and 23 dollars. Last one came today wrapped in dang Kraft paper again. Lucky rain didn't damage it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, look how my unknown VIP Top 5 850458 turned out, no one even knows about it! Though I understand this one is different, lego has not done anything on their website to people who are not logged in to their VIP accounts so those people don't know this is going on. That has got to have an affect on some sellers after the 14th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newbie77 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Nothing like something not being available at retail to help out! I think it will be a nice little seller in Nov-Dec. probably that's why there is only 23 sellers on amazon. most are holding onto their stocks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trekgate502 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 probably that's why there is only 23 sellers on amazon. most are holding onto their stocks I am one of them with 8 at 49.95 not sure if they will sell now or long term and it is ok. That being said I am wanting to buy WVM's, AA's and some other things but at this point I am inclined to wait till October 1st to get a bunch of the holiday set #1. Last year those sets sold for a lot. I am excited those sets will be a good opportunity again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That has got to have an affect on some sellers after the 14th. The best way to sell this in my opinion after its gone is to pair it with exo suit our something like bennys space ship to get attention. A set like yours is hard because it basically has had no publicity and those figures are available separately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stackables Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Decided to get one for $20.50. Usually I would get this from LEGO Shop at Home but currently nothing on the site says buy me right now. Probably wait til the October promos.

marcandre Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 (edited) If your buying the auctions seem to be staying under $20. BIN and amazon are $20 and up. I have a pair, it's tempting to get more but I'm also waiting for the xmas promo and double points. I did pick up a tumbler today just to get a second space man, tumbler went right to amz.
