Ed Mack Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 I had a similar experience 5 or 6 years ago with the 10179 Falcon. I had 2 $400 Falcons sitting in my cart and I thought, "Boy, that is a lot of money, I have enough LEGO sets!" and didn't buy them. Fast forward 5 years and I kick myself everyday for not hitting that buy button. Quote

Grrr.... Quote

It kills me that I remember these sets at Legoland California. And thinking to myself, "who would pay $250 for a Lego set." Quote

BrickSapper Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 Didn't someone purchase a couple off of the Sears shopping network? I saw them pop up this morning at 510 (marked down from 620). But when I placed them in my basket, they were already gone. Anyone BPers on the Sears sets? Quote

And thinking to myself, "who would pay $250 for a Lego set."I was thinking the same way until I thought ''there also are people who buy the new iphone 500/600 dollars every year''. 1 Quote

But when I placed them in my basket, they were already gone. Anyone BPers on the Sears sets? I grabbed one off Sears at retail and one at $510. The retail one shipped and the other one came back as "out of inventory." Then the seller jacked the price and re-listed it at over $900. At least I got one. 1 Quote

newbie77 Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 Wow thats nice. And half a room of storage. .. not really its a corner of entrance to the house. that's where delivery lands. then it gets inventoried and moved to the their home based on category. Quote
mscheaf Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 Should I pick one of these up at $600 plus shipping? That is a lot for me right now. Quote
holleman67 Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 Should I pick one of these up at $600 plus shipping? That is a lot for me right now. If you can't part with that money and still be ok financially then don't buy it as there will be other hot sets in the future to buy. Just chalk it up to a learning experience and move on. Quote
