MartinP Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Should I buy now at LEGO Shop at Home for double VIP points OR wait for a possible discounted price before EOL? On a side note, doesn't look like TRS will be discounting these any time soon but the Vampyre Castle is supposed to go for $80 next Sunday. It is very hard to find a discount on a Lego exclusive before EOL. I would get it now with the double VIP points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VaderFan16 Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I have two of these sets, one for build and one for investment. I have no doubts that this set will skyrocket in price once it is EOL. If you have the money and plan on buying one in the future I would do it now to get the double VIP points. You may also get the Lego Store minifigure, which you can make a profit from on Ebay or other selling avenues. Just make sure you place the order online and you will get free shipping.

Guest TabbyBoy Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I've just built one of mine and it's on display in my lounge window lit with a red flashing LED bike light inside. It's by far, the best build ever and I'm so impressed that I've got a friend to order another 5 for me from LEGO Shop at Home with double-VIP. I'll probably have to sit on them for another 3-4 years but, still worthwhile assuming I'll double my money. Since these are rarely discounted and inflated on Amazon, these are a winner IMHO. I live in quite an affluent area so, I'll be hinting to well-heeled parents that accompany their kids that I have "one just like it" in a new box for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exciter1 Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 I have several already. I was going to get another VW Camper Van with my reward points, but I may go ahead and get another HH for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boliramirez Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Need to order today, but what would you get 2 HH , 2 B-Wings or 1 HH and 1 B wing? I can buy only 2, so what would you do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sauromosis Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 I wouldn't buy B wing at full msrp because they were selling them for 100 last May 4th. Tower Bridge and a HH? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quacs Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 I would get two HH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinP Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Two HH. No question. There was an opportunity to get B-Wings at $99.99. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emazers Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 2 Haunted houses for sure!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff_14 Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 I do like to diversify so I'd get 2 different sets, HH and TB in my opinion. If either go on sale later than you get more then. It's like dollar cost averaging in the investment world. B-wing will probably outlast the other 2 so you can wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mos_Eisley Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 I'd say at least 5 Haunted Houses. In 2-3 years when everyone on this site is unloading their 4 or 5 of them, you don't want to be left out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dabbot Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 I'd go for the Haunted Houses. Actually I myself am ordering another HH & TB tomorrow so there you go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich B Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Seriously though, the B-wing is going out as we speak. As soon as they disappear from Walmart and any other retailers they're EOL. The Tower Bridge and the Haunted House will both be available through 12/2014, and possibly longer. But 12/2014 as of right now on those 2 sets, so you have plenty of time to pick them up, and a lot less time to pick up the B-wings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Im gonna say B-wiing. Which is why I am up to 8 now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comicblast Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 The market is beginning to forget that the B-Wing was ever discounted 50%, even if members here, who are much more informed about LEGO sales, haven't. I think even if you can't get the B-Wing for $99, anything below $165 is a pretty good deal at this point, as I think after retirement, its value will go through the roof. I think too many people are stocking up on HH's to make them worth as much as the B-Wing percentage wise, but this is just personal opinion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenchu2000 Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 I would buy 1 HH and 1 B-Wing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaisonline Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Buy 2 B-Wings now, then sell them in a year if you want to pickup 3-4 HHs which should still be available in stores. 10227s might be the only SW UCS set with a 1 yr or less retail life.

Me and my boy Jaisonline are gonna be walkin around with some serious "I told you so's" in a couple of years for all these non-Bwing people. lol Seriously, the set is already gaining fast. Since Amazon was out, its up $35 in a few months. Im thinking about grabbing more from Walmart at $157 or whatever it is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
