Guest TabbyBoy Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 SO jealous! I really wish we could buy it in America (at MSR). Don't you have any buddies in Europe who could buy for you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biniou Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Don't you have any buddies in Europe who could buy for you? He should also have friends who work on the customs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locutus001 Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Don't you have any buddies in Europe who could buy for you? I guess that would be more expensive than to get one from an ebay reseller right now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hannibal Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I'm waiting until 23:39 on 30SEP to punch in 5x HH along with 5x 3E ready for 2VIP. So far, everything I've had on back-order like this has been honoured. i said I wasn't buying again but, who can resist these while prices are rocketing? I scored one on Saturday. Westfield in London didn't have any HHs on the shelves, which made me smile. I saw Grand Emporiums though. I am also tempted to get another HH and maybe extra 3Es...

mscheaf Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Do we think that the HH will peak now during this intitial OOS phase or will it peak after some more stock comes in, they sell all that, then it actually retires for real, not just rumor?

This one is most likley done for good theres ni reason for it to not to have already come back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Raichu Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 (edited) Do we think that the HH will peak now during this intitial OOS phase or will it peak after some more stock comes in, they sell all that, then it actually retires for real, not just rumor? If sets peak that soon, then what's the point of holding any set for 2, 4, 8, or 10 years ?

Mos_Eisley Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 It's already peaked. Sell yesterday. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cross Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 This set will become highly unpopular once the spirits that possess it start moving things around in your pantry. It's unsettling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mscheaf Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I think Fedex lost mine. Of course they did though. It's fedex. They are 0-forever on shipments to me. Something always wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hannibal Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 To continue the offtopic shortly, yes, the Maersk ship is very hard to find in the UK. Only Lego sells it and the only other alternative is resellers for 50% over retail. I can only imagine when gone for good..... Currently this one and the HH are the two hot sets which i believe will turn into solid gold in the future. I dont know if the HH has peaked, maybe temporarily, but then again it will not go back to retail anymore. I can see it being easily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redghostx Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Quote: "but thats unheard of in the recent EOLs to do so well so quick" references to spikes after EOL is reached or new. Counterpoint: see Brigade, Fire and Star Destroyer, Super. Two sets that spiked when EOL was imminent or reached. Perhaps not coincidentally, these are the two most recent exclusives to retire. The Sopwith Camel also spikes when sold out. Perhaps this is the modern investment model - a huge spike followed by minimal growth followed by healthy growth - but Lego exclusives have recent history to see large spikes at the end of the lifespan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neosphinx Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Which time zone is the Europe shop using for 'midnight'? Depends on the part of Europe. It uses the timezones as they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules_K Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 (edited) Depends on the part of Europe. It uses the timezones as they are. Only 1 hour and 50 minutes for me to go!

jerryherb Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 I think there is at least 10 more pages of "fat" in this HH thread that must be censored. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
