johnwray Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 Chinese collectors are nuts. If they enter a market prices rocket. If LEGO becomes really popular in China we may face a new golden age with the retired exclusives. The Lego Group is definitely trying. I remember rolling my eyes when I heard about "Chima". They only changed one letter, for Pete's sake, and they only bumped it by one slot in the alphabet! 1 Quote
JM123 Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 Damn, takes a long time to go 'Sold out' again.. I think the European investor legion is watching television right now :-p Quote
abri123 Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 Silly question probably, but what's difference between 'sold out' and 'out of stock', bearing in mind that in Europe this was OOS then sold out, and now OOS again - all OOS featuring ship dates. Quote
JM123 Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 Sold out again! Hopefully now forever. At least got an extra order in, see if it ships Quote
Neosphinx Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 I won't buy no more... Come'on... just 1 more!! Quote
JM123 Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 Already got confirmation from Lego by e-mail, good thing! If I were Lego, I also would fulfill those Dutch orders first because the warehouse is located in Zwolle (NL), it would save them shipping costs :-P Quote

A rep told me that sold out was not likely to come back Quote
dubzero Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 I got my two from Target today. I'm not sure why they bothered to box them since it didn't seem to help at all. The tape held on the second box, but just barely. Now the question is do I take them back and have no HH? Do I suck it up and keep them both or maybe the one that isn't busted open? Quote

ISO8T0 Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 Count me in on that one as well. Love to build this w my boys before Halloween. The lack of patience in this thread is staggering. Ironic that you posted that twice. For anyone with bashed up boxes, feel free to help a not-enough-Haunted-House-having brother out Quote

Complain to Target and try to get discount, but keep them regardless. You may not make top $ that you would have done in top condition, but there's still plenty of profit to be had, and a lot of people that will want this to build will just put the box to one side within 2 minutes anyway so won't care.

Or you could just refer to blog about how conditions of box have no affect on selling price. 1 Quote
dubzero Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 Or you could just refer to blog about how conditions of box have no affect on selling price. Even if it opened? Quote
