Looks like Smaug is going to have a long wait on his hands to reach acceptable levels. BIN all seem to go for around 155 euros and when no one lists below 200 there are no sales. Expand It's already 30% over RRP on Amazon US and will be over $200 during the holidays 2016. Quote

Expand Because you guys didn´t have an armada of crazy British quick flippers who got them for less than half price who are single handedly destroying euro residuals for this bad boy. I guess that means the Tumbler will be stuck for another year too. Quote

scuttfarkas Posted June 7, 2016 Posted June 7, 2016 I'm sure TLC didn't make this dragon mold for a one time dragon figure. You'll be seeing it again when the next Medevial/Kingdom/Castle line comes out. Hell, you might see it in Nexo Knights. So that being said, I wouldn't count on the dragon as the sole driving force behind any meaningful profit for this set in retirement. Quote

Similar to how the Dino line dinos aren't exactly like the ones in Jurassic World. Quote

Don-T Posted August 6, 2016 Posted August 6, 2016 I've the possibility to buy the LM for RRP (119 EUR) from an investor who bought them at low price in the UK. He has 5 in stock and has to decrease his stock. How much would you buy? Or let them pass? Quote

Expand Pass my details on to that guy if you let them pass ;-) I've sold a ton of them that I got at 30-50% of last year and made a really nice profit...I think it's a good set.. Quote

Expand If he can´t turn a good quick profit at his buy-in (at current massively favourable exchange rate for international sales), what makes you think you will for almost double plus shipping? I´d pass looking at recent sales on ebay, Edited August 6, 2016 by Val-E 1 Quote
Don-T Posted August 6, 2016 Posted August 6, 2016 It's a buddy I know in the neighborhood, who bought them when they were at low price in the UK. Before they retired. He wanna switch / decrease his stock and offered them to me for RRP before he will offer at ebay. So he got his gains because of his low buyin (Yes he could earn more at other platforms / ebay but at this way he could drop his whole lot in one transaction to me which is more comfortable) and the question is: take it or leave it. I think the set could hit the 190 EUR at Christmas, so i'm thinking to flip 3 at this time and hold 2 for long term.. Quote

I´d offer 500 euros for the lot - 1 year since EOL prices are in stagnation and that money could be better invested in 3 or so months when some cool in-demand sets will retire. Quote
