iahawks550 Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 It will near $1000 this Christmas. I expect to see a mass unloading in the last two months this year and the first two months following the new movie. If the new movies do well, this set will move upwards $200-300 a year for the next 3-4 year, IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newbie77 Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 (edited) I sold three this past Xmas at over $1000.. it's coming sooner than you think. AMZN US: i have/had sold some @$800->$848 { 2014 holiday and recently in march 2015 } that's the highest i have ever gotten for them...

brettj666 Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Yeah but i see you're located in Canada. Isn't your currency backed by beaver pelts & Molson Ice? Seriously though, 79 cents on the dollar means 790 bucks for a SSD at 1000 Canadian, or did you mean you got $1000 USD for it already? Molson Canadian is the official currency, Molson Ice is like change. Canadian Tire money is also recognized The dollar wasn't that low at Xmas, it was more like 85 cents and I got $1099.99 for them. With the bit that they charged for shipping, it would have been the equivalent of $972 US, so thought that was close enough 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great sense of humor That's some impressive sales info. I havent seen any go nearly that high. It seems firmly fixed in the 750-850 USD range for months and that's depending on your fee structure Craigslist--Ebay--Amazon etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gregpj Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Looked like ISD to me though... At 1:27 that is most definitely an SSD. The crashed ISD is earlier in the trailer.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hannibal Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Yeah, I though exactly the same thing. It's the SSD...what an awesome view of the wrecked ship and the chase inside the space ship will be epic!Btw...you can clearly tell it's the Super Star Destroyer. It has 3 pairs of tripple engines + 2 others pairs of 2, you can see 7 in this shot. Whe ISD has only 3 at the back in total. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which pilot would fly into this thing without knowing if the path is clear? So either the guy flying the ship is very dumb or very smart.

Sauromosis Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Actually, I had the exact same thought...it's suicide to fly into a ship where the corridors might be destroyed, but I guess this is fiction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fossilrock Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Sounds like this ship could make an appearance in the other movie due out in 2016 called "Rogue One".. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mscheaf Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Wouldn't an SSD crashing into a planet be like a giant meteor crashing into the planet and cause global destruction? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So either the guy flying the ship is very dumb or very smart. Sorry for OT post.Depends on whether or not he turned off his targeting computer. Meanwhile, the local recycling center is requiring you bring an ID for photocopying due to a recent rash of Imperial copper and aluminum theft. In particular, jawas limits have been lowered to 50 pounds per day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gregpj Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Wouldn't an SSD crashing into a planet be like a giant meteor crashing into the planet and cause global destruction?I would imagine it depends on the velocity of the impact. If the SSD was "orbiting" the planet and crashed into it it would cause far less destruction than a meteor traveling at full speed. Meteors travel between 25,000mph and 160,000mph.http://www.amsmeteors.org/meteor-showers/meteor-faq/#3They are also solid masses of rock.. not some giant hollow metal structure that could collapse into itself on impact. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm, shouldn't the atmospheric pressure of the planet deform that ISD upon entry then ? At the very least that bridge should not be intact as shown at 0:29 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
