Mathew Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 I almost bought that one but I was lucky that they had another pristine box sitting next to it. sorry Oh well, if I get my $25 bonus VIP points then I don't mind a damaged box.

No More Monkeys Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Same...threw in the keychain for each order to get the polybag and slightly make up for not getting it during double pts along with the 2/2 set. Anyone was tracking availability of Arctic Batman keychain? When was the last time it was available? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sroster Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Anyone was tracking availability of Arctic Batman keychain? When was the last time it was available? It was available when I ordered an r2 and batgirl keychain earlier. Why I picked batgirl I have no idea, she isn't in a set? I think that was about 4 pm central time.

LegoSteve Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Just received a best of on ebay for $295. I was selling it for $325. Not sure what to do. I may just sit on it since the only thing I would be interested in buying is another R2 or a bunch of Santa's workshop. If folks are offering $295 now, surely in two weeks if may go for $350?

LegoSteve Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 shipped? I always include free shipping with my listing. That's the kind of gentleman I am. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegoSteve Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Ok, I just accepted the offer at $295. I guess if my Lego store is out of more R2's and Santa's Workshop to pick up, I'll pick up some more T1 Campers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
labfreak7 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 I am sure that this must be a mistake. Surely it was just out of stock for manufacturing problems. This set can't be going to retirement. It can't be doing the toos bounce. It can't flip to sold out at some point. Those who are stockpiling this set do not know what they are doing. (Sarcasm) Huh? No I agree. I think this set is done. I was surprised it lasted a couple of hours but glad I got two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GhostDad Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 My sources tell me that 10225 is being cleared out to make room for the new UCS Motorized R2 with Power Functions, lights and sounds, and self-aware AI, that will be available in stores next January at $199 with 3000 pieces. Doesn't look good for ol' 10225... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donliu Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 I was at the Lego store yesterday talkign to store manager in Cali and they said the R2 had some part issues that some pieces were not holding on right. the piece they are referring to is the arm or blade. I haven't built it yet so I don't know. They said r2 will be back and not retiring yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't doubt that it will be back, to some extent, but I think this manager is just flapping his gums here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toycrazedchris Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 (edited) I'll just buy the $75 chinese fake version that runs on diesel. I think it will be solar since Chinese investors bought up all of our good solar tech.. D'oh! I was at the Lego store yesterday talkign to store manager in Cali and they said the R2 had some part issues that some pieces were not holding on right. the piece they are referring to is the arm or blade. I haven't built it yet so I don't know. They said r2 will be back and not retiring yet. I can see this being true. Same thing happened with Architecture Studio, the mgr at my Lego store (also Cali) told me about the issues and upcoming remake of that set long before the news broke here. I posted that info earlier this year but I doubt anyone believed it at the time. Edited November 30, 2014 by toycrazedchris 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
