76023 - The Tumbler

[waddamon]

Tumblers last stand, 454 left.   Hmmm, maybe a few more?? Questions, questions.

[Brickbuilder.g]

Did my part...two more 401 left

Seal codes?

[njseale]

Just finished building mine tonight. Wanted to build it before it was officially retired so I would not be tempted to hold it.

It cools but definitely disappoints in several ways.

298, good call whoever predicted Sunday

I built this one a few weeks agree completely. I think my biggest disappointment is that it looks better from the back than the front. I conflicted on how to display it.

thx ...

Trek called Sunday at Midnight EST

Looks like I planned too long lol

It is down to 297 from 750 14 hours ago

At the run rate it looks like there is about 9 hours left but I think people seeing this will panic and if they were on the fence they will order so that means the speed will increase

So I need to revise the forecast from Sunday Midnight  to Sunday at 7 AM give or take two hours

Wow

I already had my target of 20, but just picked up two more for the road. Reading your countdown posts feels like waiting for the ball to drop on New Year's Eve. Very exciting!

what I really find interesting is I know I have been in this far less than ed, jeff and everyone but in the last three years I do not remember a set ever occurring where we could watch the countdown remaining at one retailer.

it really sets a precedent in my mind not sure if ithat is good bad or will ever repeat itself .... but perhaps it was common place before I was here.

Yes the rover, RI, TH, R2, SSD to name a few all were very exciting and popped in and out with unexpected batches (which may happen again with the tumbler but I am guessing not so much) but that we could actually have it go to one store with thousands on hand as people talk about it for days that I do not remember

it is fun that is for sure

[Bold-Arrow]

I doubt Granny is picking these up ... thousands of units hoarded over the past few weeks alone..... i will go back to my "bubble" where everything is awesome

What didn't you like about it?

[exciter1]

Didn't win the Powerball, so I had to resort to buying another Tumbler.

The two biggest were stickers and the build is just way to fragile(even for a pure display set) When I just tough it or adjust it something falls off.

[Cravacor]

Any benefit to buy this from Target through fleabay rather than directly on the Target website?

That's why we call it the Crumbler. I just ordered another.

[brickolodon]

Website: 5%off red card and up to 10%off gift card (like raise)

Ebay: ebucks or gift card (eBay)

So, no benefits actually...

[trekgate502]

83 copies remain

looks like the tumbler will disappear from target by about 5 am est

goodbye dear friend

[Val-E]

Get some sleep, man - it´s over!

Now, the next games will be to predict how many new listings are up on ebay when it is sold out in all retailers and what the average sold item price will be in February.

There was a great one on Brickset a few ago for 10212 at Amazon US, it was great fun

Whoever sits and watches stock levels has way to much time on their hands........get out and take a walk or go to the gym.....something.

Yeah this isn't a science, more of an art I would say...
