bricketycricket Posted September 15, 2014 Posted September 15, 2014 So what's the verdict on the spaceman? Hold it for a bit or just dump it now for the ~$20 that they're selling for? Quote
mscheaf Posted September 15, 2014 Posted September 15, 2014 So what's the verdict on the spaceman? Hold it for a bit or just dump it now for the ~$20 that they're selling for? I would at least wait until they aren't available anymore to sell. Why the hurry? Holiday shopping is approaching. Quote
bricketycricket Posted September 15, 2014 Posted September 15, 2014 I would at least wait until they aren't available anymore to sell. Why the hurry? Holiday shopping is approaching. I've just often heard people recommend selling polybags somewhat quickly before the hype around them goes quiet. The spaceman looks like a slightly different animal though, so just wondering what people think. Quote

newbie77 Posted September 15, 2014 Posted September 15, 2014 I think they mean sell it quickly after you can't get it retail anymore, but I could be wrong. if its like camper/darth raven then obviously whoever held onto it made a bundle. but usually the polybag don't seem to be holding/retaining value. better option is to sell it within the first week of the release. most likely one will be able to get $20-$30 during that time. spaceman being in a box has a more "expensive" look and feel so it might fetch more money in the future. only time will tell. look @ martian manhunter; hans hoth, they were if i remember correctly were only available during the promotional period and still they can be found for less than $15 or even $10. other star war poly like 30242 etc are less than $5. (so after all the fees will barely give you $2). Quote
speedsausage Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 I just got home and guess who was waiting for me? Hopefully he's in good condition! Just a tiny tiny dent in one corner but you would have be looking for it to notice it! 1 Quote
trekgate502 Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 Well it now looks to be sold out at LEGO Shop at Home. Now for it to start the appreciation roadmap. The bad news is there is 180 listings on ebay. The good news is that 51 of them are auctions. So it will be down to 124 listings shortly I hope. It could bounce up and down but I think this will have long staying power and glad I am not selling mine at the current $17 each. Quote
biking_tiger Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 This *could* be a good Christmas sale. Think of all those dads who were once Lego Space fans getting this little guy under the tree. (Thinking of myself here.) I'm holding mine for the time being... it's free money either way. Quote
legone Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 Noob question: how much did last year's promo sets (similar to the one that will be offered on October 1st) sell for, around Christmas? Quote
Darth_Raichu Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 Noob question: how much did last year's promo sets (similar to the one that will be offered on October 1st) sell for, around Christmas? Search for 40082 on left seach box at the top of this page. 40083 was the free set offered towards the end of November Quote
legone Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 Thanks for the quick reply! I'll look thwm up. Quote
trekgate502 Posted September 29, 2014 Posted September 29, 2014 I am looking for just the perfect size box to fit one of these puppies into instead of a Jiffy. If anyone has experience and a link or suggestion I would appreciate it. Wanting to well protect these but keep it in first class and not priority. Any experts out there? Quote

Any experts out there? any decent size box will do as its weight will surely be less than 15 ounces which will qualify you for first class shipping ... Quote
newbie77 Posted September 29, 2014 Posted September 29, 2014 any decent size box will do as its weight will surely be less than 15 ounces which will qualify you for first class shipping ... i believe it has to be less than 13oz for first class over 13oz becomes priority mail Quote
ravenb99 Posted September 29, 2014 Posted September 29, 2014 Id just buy smallest box from like walmart take measurements and with boz cutter cut down to the size thats snug. I use s-156 & s-159 from uline. They come 50 per. I ship my poly bags in s-156. We mainly use them for the jewelry we sell but doubles as a polybag box. S-159 is bigger and can fit some smaller box sets too. 1 Quote

jjsrt8 Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 Hoping people will even want these in future or will be able to find them. Id be happy with 5 dollar return for what I have in them. Should have never bought these and eco suits shoulda bought another modular or HH when I still could. Hoping to sell with exo suits for Christmas dint want them. Quote

I googled green and white bandwagon , came up with this. Quote
trekgate502 Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 You can still sell for $15 right now but I am holding, I think they will be worth more in time. Quote
glenbart Posted October 19, 2014 Posted October 19, 2014 Yeah, eBay.com has loads listed but you should have no problem selling them and anytime anything space like comes around again sales could soar. Quote
