10225 - UCS: R2-D2

Recommended Posts

eBay has 3 for sale from $258.xx to $259.99

 

Then there are 32 total units (not listings which there are not that many listings) between $260 and $299.99.

 

For a $179.99 MSRP I like where it is heading and the speed with which it is getting there.

 

Just wait till Episode VII as R2 is confirmed to be in it (old and new news)

BTW xmas shopping has started. Plenty of sets are going to go OOS that will return with a vengeance in jan/Feb

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Brickpicker mobile app

According to Wayback Machine(its sampling is pretty coarse though) , R2-D2 was available in October, November and December 2013 at LEGO Shop at Home without backorders. Your statement is probably correct for non-exclusives. For exclusives, i think we are in new waters...

It has now been a week and very minimal R2 online store sightings in the US (some appearances at Toys R Us).

 

Does anyone else wonder if this thing will exit quicker than the other sets and not pop up like GE and TH have?

 

Hmm....

FYI, the Lego stores I have been to, all have had more than 5 out on the floor, and said they had more in the back. FWIW.

Informal Poll, Is R2-D2 available at your Brick & Morter Lego Store right now? If you checked, what are the date stamp codes? (ie: 27R4, 36R4, etc)

 

Me? Yes, and plenty. (27R4)

 

Makes it hard to believe he's really going away, but perhaps these are the last legs?

Yep.  A ton. Went there yesterday. Full shelf with more in back, just like last week when I went there, and every other time I have ever been there. I don't think I have ever seen less than 6. Even on the days right before delivery. The newest one on the shelf had 27R4 so these weren't new either.

In US how many places online have R2-D2 and how many have you gotten in mass in the last 5-7 days?

 

Since Target & Amazon went OOS a week or so ago there has been a couple of insignificant pop ups at Toys R Us.  But that is it.

 

 

Lego B&M has it and a good supply but I think that is it.

 

It may come back some but please by all means do not buy it, I'll try to get more.

 

I've been selling some of my GE's to acquire more R2's when I can find them.

 

Just look at the appreciation on ebay from $180 to only 2 left at $258-259 and then it goes over 260.

 

Yes it is Christmas but this set is done and as per my earlier post R2 was photographed all over the Star Wars Episode VII After Party.

 

R2-D2 Rocks.
