MartinP Posted August 19, 2014 Posted August 19, 2014 I recently checked CL to see if there were any deals to be found on Legos and I stumbled upon a listing for a 76023 Tumbler. The most hilarious part was how much they were asking for. $400. It seems like they bought it from the local Lego store, and want to quick flip it. I wonder if any uninformed people will fall into that trap. Quote
Lateral-G Posted August 19, 2014 Posted August 19, 2014 Tumbler out of stock at LEGO Shop at Home. Less than 24hrs, too. I wonder why Lego keeps underestimating popularity of sets? Seriously, did they not think this would sell enough to warrant enough stock on hand? Quote

mscheaf Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 Now unless you are building one or buying a few to hopefully sell these on ebay for Christmas, you shouldn't be buying any, these should be out a solid 3 years, you should be buying,GE,HH,DS,Camper,Toert Bridge. GE is Grand Emporium and DS is Death Star right? What is HH? Quote
citymorgue Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 I think batman might be a wee bit small for the car lol. Quote
marcandre Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 Stopped by Raleigh lego story yesterday. They ran out first day. They expect more next week and plan on having plenty on 9/1. They did have one on display. Looks pretty cool. Too bad it's not a technic set though, steering and an engine would have really been nice. I'll start loading up in 3 years... 1 Quote
stephen_rockefeller Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 I'll start loading up in 3 years...This mentality is why some people have to scramble around last minute and some even miss the boat. How do you even know it's gonna be around in 3 years? What the harm in buying a few here and there starting now? Quote

How do you even know it's gonna be around in 3 years? What the harm in buying a few here and there starting now? It's not hard to buy right before EOL. The signs are always there. I got plenty of SSDs and I had zero in June. I like the scramble. 1 Quote
Huskers1236 Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 GE is Grand Emporium and DS is Death Star right? What is HH? Yes, Yes, and Haunted House. Quote

No harm but during these 3 years (or so) you could have invest in other sets so no need to buy some now (unless you want it for yourself of course!). What's the best way to invest ? 1. Buy a SSD now, wait about 1 or 2 years, sell it, then buy a Tumbler, maybe with double VIP or coupons in TrU ? or 2. Buy a Tumbler right now at MSRP, and seat on it for 1 or 2 years ? 1 Quote

Buy a SSD now (or more than one), wait for 1 or 2 years, sell one, then with that money you can buy 3 or 4 Tumblers. 2. Buy a Tumbler right now at MRSP to build and for your own collection. 1 Quote

mscheaf Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 I would love to buy an SSD or two. Is there anywhere you can still get them for anywhere close to msrp? Quote
Jeff Mack Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 Got my Tumbler today. Not a good job of packing by LEGO. looks like I will be building this one. I love the comic book though, great job on that! Quote

Jeff Mack Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 I would get so peeeeeeeeeeep if I would receive my box in that way. In the future I will be if they come like that, but this one, I am ok with it, because I will build it and display it in my office. Quote
exciter1 Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 Those came from Target, they did a nice job packing! I've sent back 2 Arkham Asylums to Target recently that came in oversized boxes and underpacked. The boxes on those were in horrible condition when I received them. Quote
mmatthie Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 My 2 come today..."out for delivery" (some of the greatest words on earth)...I'll let you know on condition...but I know what you mean I ordered a 10225 from Target.com...deep crease in box...no packaging material Quote
Neosphinx Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 In the future I will be if they come like that, but this one, I am ok with it, because I will build it and display it in my office. I wonder how your office looks like Quote
Jeff Mack Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 honestly, its a mess, i don't have much lego in here. a Haunted House, a few smaller sets on my desk setup. Nothing like Ed's, but adding to it. 1 Quote
mmatthie Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 Luckily mine came in properly-sized boxes from Lego.com...glad they're in good shape. Although the comic came in a padded envelope and that was beat to crap. Ah well. Quote

Tumbler will be nice addition; The Haunted House is high on my list to display too... just find it a shame to open up such a wonderful (and possibly profitable) set. Quote
