And at Walmart

And at Target

Understood, but F5 is still standing by.

About walmart canada: the best around here, always bubble air etc, toysRus are the worst

Just ordered an other one from walmart, for a total of 3 now. Hope I can order an other one this week.

In the EU you can still get it with like 20% below MSRP in webshops. I was optimistic regarding this one, however now I have my doubts. You can also get DS slightly below MSRP.

FYI R5 is only over 20%+ over MSRP.

oh! lol thanks alot! here in canada, only place still available is walmart

Walmart Canada is way cheaper than any purchase in the USA now. 229 CAD < 199USD. Check the exchange rate. Better start cleaning.

How many tumblers to a lego shipping box? I'm guessing 2.

Yes, 2 Tumblers per original LEGO shipping box.

I wonder what happens when this thing is completely wiped out in the retail market. There are two camps as I can see. One camp of non-believers that the Tumbler will not rise. Argument is that this isn't the batmobile, this is costly, this isn't an iconic set, this only lasted through 2 movie. The other camp says short lifespan, big set, lots of rare pieces. etc....

Would be nice to have a poll to see what the predictions are for the price of this in July 2016. Some will be caught off guard.

A lot of people forgot that when this came out, it went to around $500 or near it, then oos. Now that it has only been out for a year and a bit, it goes sold out at SAH. Then retirement.

I don't think this can be compared to the AA. The AA is more of a playset than a display set.

everyone believes in 76023. its not that there are any non-believers at all.

its all about whether we will see the growth (like 9493 or 6866 or 21103 or 10224) or it will be like (10240) remains to be seen.i am going to go with the latter one in this one. this set will be like (10240).

this one has lost its steam otherwise it won't have taken 6 weeks to wipe out B&N inventory. now we still have target, walmart and amazon inventory to deal with.

believe what one wants but make sure to look at the data point as well hence don't get over the head in the assumption that this one is going to give stellar performance.

Mine shipped from LEGO Shop at Home this morning. Actually happy to get the nexo starter pack

^ You're right, there are two camps: (1) People who think this is going to be a huge hit and (2) people who are going to wish they were in the first camp six months from now. 

This isn't going to be Orthanc or Red Five or Sea Cow. Once it is gone, it is going to BE gone. It isn't going to become available again every week or so for five months on Amazon (I'm looking at you, 10237). Lego wants this one done. TLG made the decision a month ago never to produce another Tumbler. What exists in the world is all that is out there. No more runs. 

I'll tangle with anybody on this site who feels like having a go about this one, and here's my opening volley:

1) Shortest shelf life for an exclusive in recent memory. 

2) It's an iconic vehicle and not a play set. Vehicle > Building > Play set (with some notable exceptions). If AA is your reason to steer clear of the Tumbler, you're wrong.

3) It's from the best Batman series that will probably ever be made. They're going to keep trying, but Nolan's trilogy will remain the king, at least in my lifetime. See #5 below.

4) Heath Ledger's Joker.

5) Batman is.... well, Batman. Whether he Begins, Returns, is Forever, Rises, or faces off against Superman, he is never going away. Ben Affleck is going to make people long for the Dark Knight Trilogy and the 76023. 

Get them while you can. If you pass, you'll be sorry you missed this one.

I like your post . I would just add that anyone expecting a quick return would be mistaken IMO. Gonna be a slow riser .

That last line reminded me of Emazers (in a good way). I scraped together some spare cash to do my part to wipe out some of the last Canadian stock.

believe what one wants but make sure to look at the data point as well hence don't get over the head in the assumption that this one is going to give stellar performance. 

10240's performance is yet to be seen, as it has only recently retired. I say give it till episode 8 in May 2017, and we may seem this set above USD 600, which is 3x SRP. Reason is that I think it will be a long while more before anymore new UCS OT X-wing, and when there is a new UCS X-wing for episode 7-9, it will help to bump up the demand for 10240.

As for the Tumbler, I share your view that it will be a bit slower after the initial jump. I see this set at around USD 500 - 600 by 2017. Somehow the tumbler is not the typical batmobile with the distinctive batwings. It looks like it belongs to the era of gas guzzling hummers, which is not cool in today's environmentally conscious society. Would there be many folks who will want or have the shelf space to display the tumbler with their UCS batmobile?

[trekgate502]

 OK I'll play the contrarian for once. I hope this set has epic return but I am not convinced. Arkham asylum no.  Batcave no.  Amazon has had the set extremely high rank moving thousands of copies per month at its current rate. Barnes & Noble was supposed to have several thousand copies. Target has almost 4000 copies and moved 200 in the last 24 hours funded I assume by eBay bucks. You have to have an assumption that there is 10 to 20,000 in resellers hands just since retirement announcement.   To say the set will have a very fast and high return I think it's unrealistic. Perhaps in a few years yes. But I am not convinced of major gains for the set. I am buying some but not tons.  Hopefully you all can quote this post in 12 months saying it has had huge gains. I have a good friend that has bought a lot I am rooting I am wrong....

so you are saying "#76023" will be performing better than:

10221 SSD : RRP 399,99 => AMZ: $1100,00 (after 18 months of retirement)

10224 Town Hall : RRP: 199,99 => AMZ: 549,99 (after 14 months of retirement)

none of these stellar sets have turned 3X RRP in a year let alone 18 months.

i seriously doubt 76023 will be in that camp.

10240's performance is totally pathetic. even after being OOS from all BB and LEGO Shop at Home its only $257, i.e. only $30 higher than #9493 .. (not going to tout my own horn but i did call this one out long long time ago that i don't believe in 10240 but buy 9493 instead). going away from comparison to #9493 .. this one(i.e. 10240) is barely fetching any $$ for RRP purchases.

It will be stuck at $289 forever, then $350, $399, and so forth.

i don't know where you got 200 number from but simply from your post it seems to me that you are referring to target (ebay). its puchasers http://offer.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewBidsLogin&item=271805118888&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2564  basically are less than 50 QTY since Jan 02nd. i seriously doubt this time around we will see the movement of sets like we saw last year. horde have tons of exclusives in their storage and don't have the $$$ required for the purchase. remember all the 10218; 10214; 10235; 10237 and 10240 they have been hoarding ]
