10225 - UCS: R2-D2


Ed Mack

Recommended Posts

I may need to source another one just so I don't feel bad about opening this one.  Same goes for the UCS Imperial shuttle....

I'm a collector first, but I make an effort to buy at least two of every set.  One to build and one to keep in the box.

Used ones can still be found for as little as 100 euros so maybe get one of those to build and keep the mint one.

Sales on eBay are flirting with $400. This set continues to appreciate nicely.

I always like to reminisce...one year ago we could have all been stockpiling R2s at retail.  Now they are selling for $400 on Amazon.

Well but LEGO wouldn't retire it before the new movies! That wouldn't make any sense!

I'm not selling via amazon and on ebay germany you can still get these for arount 300. I hope the new movies will help this one rise to 400 on ebay, then I'll sell the rest of mine.

"R2, you have been a trusted companion...but if your price nears 5 bills...you (and your 10 siblings) are gone my friend!!!"

I think holders of this guy are doing the waiting game and looking at eachother. I really have no clue how much this little guy has been hoarded.

 

p.s. Cool avatar! You should always submit the same post twice! :D

You wanted someone who can double post? Here I am!

Seriously, R2 has appreciated well since the summer and I agree with you that the big players are waiting till the double RRP mark at least. I only have one and  I am tempted to sell this winter as you never know what will happen after the movie fever.

Yeah... there is a certain risk involved. as I've said before. Imagine in the new movie R2 gets himself killed in a stupid way he could become the clown of the movie. And nobody wants a clown.

never gonna happen...

I really don't know if R2 will "die" in SW 7 (if a robot can die..), but if he does, I'm sure it will be an heroic or very sad death (saving a friend, or rusting abandonned by everyone). SW fans will love him even more !

0% chances that he would slip on a banana peel and dies. :)

I hope y'all are right.

Otherwise I will die a non-heroic death by the hand of my wife.
