jaisonline Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Here's a start: http://www.brickpicker.com/bpms/set.cfm?set=3866-1 ? Start for what? Quote
TheOrcKing Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 I am feeling all Veklempt after reading this thread. The Super Star Destroyer is neither: Super Nor a star Nor a Destroyer. Discuss. I know you're talking about the SNL character but for some reason your wording of the question reminded me of 1 Quote
Seifer Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 Yeah, this baby is picking up in value fast. I see ebay listings that get sold for over 600 Quote
biniou Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 (edited) Hmm what? http://www.brickpicker.com/bpms/set.cfm?set=10221-1 It's interesting to see that the set was reported to be sold 550 Edited February 2, 2015 by biniou Quote
inversion Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 Quite a speedy growth if you ask me. Almost as if there is an evil force behind it... 1 Quote
GhostDad Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 On the other hand, the euro is worth less and less. That probably plays some role in that accelerating euro value for the SSD. In other words, US sellers are getting more expensive for eurozone buyers, so eurozone sellers are able to charge more in euros. I'll bet the price has fallen somewhat in Swiss Francs, too, and will really take off when the new drachmas come out later this year... Meanwhile in the US, it's gone nowhere for half a year or so.

A half a year ago SSDs were still available at MSRP. Quote
Sozial Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 I guess 1000 Euro will be the limit for a long time. After that (2-3 years later) I can see that set reaching 1500 Euro. 1 Quote

hannibal Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 666, the number of the best! Actually several listings on ebay sold at Quote

jaisonline Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 A half a year ago SSDs were still available at MSRP. In Dec 2012, they could be had for $317 at Amazon and no buying limit That is one I picked up my first one. Seems like ages ago. 2 Quote
hannibal Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 Nice misword. Yeah, sorry for the wrong spelling. Typo mistake...but that's the one i had in mind 1 Quote
Seifer Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 I've been doing a bit of digging and the SSD is nowhere to be found even in smaller obscure retail shops in Europe - at least those that have web pages. I even tried a few local shops that had them at exaggerated prices but they're all sold out. The price for this one is still going to rise. I have one MISB and one that is for my personal collection. I didn't get more because 1. it costs a lot ; 2. I don't have the space to store more of them But I must admit I wish I had more lol Quote

hannibal Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 I would be mesmerised if this beast makes an appearance in Episode VII... Quote
Guest TabbyBoy Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 Could this set have reached its peak? Who knows. I'm holding out until VII anyway. Quote
biniou Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 (edited) I even tried a few local shops that had them at exaggerated prices but they're all sold out. Since january 2014 that I've checked toy stores (bricks and mortar) to find some deals (harry potter, etc.),I saw many death stars, but I never saw the SSD in ANY of the 30 shops I visited. The SSD I received from LEGO Shop at Home was the first (and last) set I ever hold in hands. Maybe I was already too late to see one in store ? I don't know. I guess that, considering the fact that lots of people do not know that the LEGO Shop at Home exists, those people will realize later that "what ??? this lego SSD set does exist ? Incredible !" Could this set have reached its peak? Who knows. I'm holding out until VII anyway. Quick growth ? Yes maybe, but it still has some great potential for long term (we're talking about a 3 feet and a half long lego SW spaceship) Edited February 5, 2015 by biniou 1 Quote
Cross Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 SSD is a monster of a ship- and a monster of an investment. SW pandemonium is just about to re-ignite with what J.J. Abrams is producing. With Disney purchasing the franchise, expect and SW film every single year- from now until eternity. I'm grateful to have what I have of the SSD, and would advise the savvy investor to hold, hold, hold- the fun is just beginning. Quote
