TheDarkness Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Do you have a link to the MOC? I have 4 bags left to go hopefully I will finish this weekend. I am hoping it solidifies once complete as this is a fragile build once you get past the core big hunks can come off if you pickup or press down in the wrong area. Also you have to really pay attention to the instructions, lots of places to make mistakes. I was really happy with the look but then I saw this pic No MOC, it was just as I was building the Tumbler I was thinking the shape could be morphed into The Bat, especially the design of the chassis as a guide. I didn't have any problems with any chunks coming off at all but had a couple of minor sections fall off right at the end when adding to the exterior.

trekgate502 Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 I can get a 3rd today for 215 delivered with no spaceman promo they are out where I can get. With ebay running at $300 I am not sure it is worth it for flipping purposes. Anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there is really no wdespread availability until january, then it is going to be hot over Christmas, I would think... amazon is "still looking" inro the issue with no listings for non-fba, and all fba forced into preorder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcandre Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 I'm flipping one on ebay but I did it for the spaceman. With fees and shipping not much left, maybe $25 or so. $10 in lego points so probably still worth the trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Undercover Boss Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 The promo made it worthwhile, now just waiting until next month's promo. Stockpiling for Christmas sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trekgate502 Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 We'll by the time I called back to order they were gone at the one store. Called tons of US stores, answers were either some expected Tuesday and they will be gone quick or expected more in October. I'm fine with my 2 for now...

No More Monkeys Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 oh, wow... would have been a jackpot if I didn't have only one... so, Amazon knew something when they did that weird "pre-order" trick.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ravenb99 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 I was told small batches each week for 8 weeks basically leading up to Black Friday, then none in December and full release in January. So far thats been the case, B&M get 4-8 per week and sell out right away. So yeah could easily be 4 bills during holidays. Then be available in January.

I might consider applying my own tamper-proof seals just for that particular case... with clear declaration and photo... though, of course, futility of reasoning with ebay and/or paypal is obvious. Maybe craigslist... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This seriously could be the best "flipper" set ever. Four Benjamins? How about five a week before XMAS? LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This seriously could be the best "flipper" set ever. Four Benjamins? How about five a week before XMAS? LOL i don't think they underestimated. its the game they have to play with so much resellers trying to pick up the set. as with any set they release its the initial lot that's getting hoarded by resellers. there is a threshold of what reseller can/will hoard. its not $10-$50 set which probably has higher number of hoarders vs. $199+ sets whose demand will be slightly less. i don't think smaller fishes are going to go nuts on this set. but i am pretty sure big sharks are piling up in the range of 50+. once they reach a certain number resellers will be out of the accumulation and then its going to flow to regular joe/jane who is buying to actually build one. LEGO just don't want to be left with sets in their warehouses. so they are releasing enough to maximize on profit as well. my sense is they make more profit if they can sell via their B&M vs online vs "other big box retailers". i still think they have done a good job of providing this set via multiple avenues a. wb stores b. toys r us c. lego B&M d. dc entertainment they are doing their best to channel it to the regular joe/jane.

I don't think prices would go that far if they just kept nonchalant TOOS without any extra text. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
