stackables Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 I have been eying this set for awhile. Does this set have any potential? Amazon has had it for around $60ish forever and it looks like you can find it on ebay for a little cheaper. Good time to pounce on this set or can we expect amazon for further discount it?

naf Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 I think the jury is still out on these large Ninjago dragon sets. With EDB still available it's hard to judge how they'll do post EOL. I bought 4 at kmart for around $40 (50% off plus cashed in SYW points/surprise points). For whatever reason kmart was blowing these out back in March. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought two from Kmart during the same sale at the same price point. I've had them listed on my local Craig's and my bricklink store for weeks at below retail and haven't had a single nibble. I have five epic dragons bought at $60 from toys r us. I wish I wouldn't have bought any ninjago sets. Everything I have was purchased at good discounts, but the popularity seems to have waned a bit. I'm hoping to be completely out of ninjago and the few chima sets I have by this January. All that money could have been spent better elsewhere.

stackables Posted August 23, 2014 Author Share Posted August 23, 2014 Interesting. Maybe I can score one for a really good price off of ebay then. I am a big sucker for dragons so I think I will eventually get this set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping to be completely out of ninjago and the few chima sets I have by this January. All that money could have been spent better elsewhere. I have 3 EDB's I got at that price, plus a handful of 50% off Garmatrons. I'm hoping these sets sell out this xmas season so I can unload them to put that money into something else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No wonder interest has waned, they only put out 2 episodes every 4 months. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Mack Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 I like any Ninjago Dragon set as an investment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naf Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 No wonder interest has waned, they only put out 2 episodes every 4 months. My kids are really into Ninjago and they've complained how long they have to wait to get new episodes. I wish they'd just release direct to netflix or to dvd and be done with it.

TheDarkness Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 I think the break between series really hurt the theme. Kids are pretty quick to move on to something else and I have found all interest in all Ninjago sets significantly down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaylay Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 i had bought 8 of these back in march for $46 each at target ... and like Ed said, i like any dragons for an investment ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOrcKing Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 It's a big badass fire breathing mechanical terror of the sky with an exclusive 'goodie two shoes' Garmadon and Wu going mega evil on everyone's asses. Whether people like the Nindroids or not, cybernetics and ninja go together like steak and barbeque. Any anime freak knows that. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Lego Lover Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 I have the mech dragon and it is AMAZING I would define toy invest in this set any day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biniou Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 I wasn't interested in this set but indeed this review makes it appealing: The buggy is quite nice too. As Ed stated a week before, all ninjago dragons certainly are good investments, not because they are ninjagos, but because they are dragons with great designs ! I can easily imagine some guys in the future who may want to buy some lego dragons for display. Something they would not try to do with the play sets...

allen9917 Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Not that many of you guys care but LEGO Shop at Home has this on sale with 20% off now. Possible early EOL? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Not a chance its EOL. Don't know why they marked it down, but if you look at the Ninjago line, they have all retired in order number wise. Don't see this one gone. The sonic Raider and Epic Dragon Battle are probably done along with the smaller Cole sets and the Garmatron after the holidays. Can't imagine any of the Mech stuff is gone for another year.

Lego is probably just trying to keep up with the other retailers who have been selling this for 30% off for a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newbiecollect Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 (edited) Amazon is almost out of this after 3 weeks of selling it at 39.98. With TRU at 19.98, hopefully it'll be gone as well soon there. Walmart is out. None at Target. Only Lego is stubbornly selling it for $58.48. It seems that this will be done earlier than EBD for better or worst. Edited February 20, 2015 by newbiecollect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newbiecollect Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I thought this would go much faster on amazon. Lego must have really thought the consumers needed lots of dragons. Crap, spoke too soon. Lego really overloaded this set. In stock on February 23, 2015. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iahawks550 Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 This set has the early lead for least desirable Lego set of 2014-2015. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newbiecollect Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 This set has the early lead for least desirable Lego set of 2014-2015. I wouldn't say least desirable as they were popping up at SD every so often with takers. I think they made way too much of it is my thoughts, same as EBD. Maybe lego think anything with the word dragon will sell. May take a year or two if not parting out to get some value out of it. At $18 each, it's a no brainer. At 40, it's a nice gift seeing amazon sold more than 10 within couple of hours at that price. At 90, no way anyone pays for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newbiecollect Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 This super discounted set is finally off TRU website, now waiting until it's out of Lego's website, may have to wait a few months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sozial Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 This set seems to be a real looser. Plenty of sources where you can buy it below retail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
