In my opinion (which admittedly isn't worth a lot on these things) the HH is a set that is nearly guaranteed to become a 4 figure set. I have no idea what the timeframe will be for that but given enough patience, I think it will get there. There is one on the table in front of me and I admire it every day, it's an awesome set. Couple that with the fact that a remake seems unlikely and I think its got a great future.

Yeah, if we were in 2007, but now I think there are too much investors my friend. ^^'

 

I dream off expect double MSRP on Xmas 2017, which seems to be quite a high expectation ! :P

I'm not saying it'll be anytime soon, I'm thinking more in the long long term like 7+ years after official EOL. And I mean a barely 4 figure set, like $1100-1200.

I will sell you all of mine for $500 each today. In your model that is at least a 100% guaranteed return on investment.

It's done then! It may flick on/off a few times eventually, but that's it! Yehhaaaa.....I have 5 in the collection that I bought last year and I didn't want to invest any more into this particular set as I wasn't sure for how long it will be around, but 5 is not bad as a fall back plan...

Yes, "Sold Out" sometimes mean that it's done as the Fire Brigade went the same way and I also have 5 of these which I'm happy with.  I see that Amazon resellers have already jacked up the price which is good for us.  Just the PS and GE to follow?

 

The HH is a great build so keep one back if you can afford to!

 

I see that Americans still have a 06OCT shipping date.

Exactly, the higher the price the better for all of us greedy re-sellers! I don't mind if the bar is high on amazon or ebay, makes it easier to demand for better prices. On the global scheme of things, there are cartels in every business/industry ...why not create one here :) LEGO cartel!

Although having 5, I might indeed build one as I am quite a lego fan anyway..people here say its good fun. I've done that with the modulars, I've built several of them while keeping the rest in mint boxes. Never expected the modulars to be such fun (that said by a Technic & Star Wars guy)!
