TigerG Posted February 20, 2017 Posted February 20, 2017 Only real sold prices count or our list will be endless and all is rosy and golden... 1 Quote
Val-E Posted February 20, 2017 Posted February 20, 2017 It only takes one drunken fat finger to click on buy-it now! I am guessing they added an extra 0 to the figure by mistake as other sellers have it for 12.99 GBP or thereabouts. Another question could be which recently retired set will not reach RRP in 5 year?. I have dibs on 70146 Chima Phoenix Temple - City Police and Fire Stations are also strong candidates due to the remake-on-retirement policy. Quote
justapilgrim Posted February 20, 2017 Posted February 20, 2017 The German football minifigures were over 5x for a while. coach and goalie still are I believe Quote

Villager Chris Posted February 27, 2017 Posted February 27, 2017 Something under £20 RRP. Elves 41171 (Emily Jones) or 41173 (School of Dragons) Quote

While we got great deals out of them, we'll all be expecting a repeat and we'll spend the year turning up our noses at deals we'd previously have jumped on. What happens then if Tesco don't repeat them. Then we'll have to have an actual business strategy Quote

Target sets you believe in at a price you set. At that price, buy until you have the number you want (or run out of storage). Set aside a "holy $hit I can't miss this price" fund in case you get opportunities like last years 3 for 2. I take Paypal. You're welcome. 1 Quote

Val-E Posted March 19, 2017 Posted March 19, 2017 (edited) Call me crazy but Ekimu from the last wave of Bionicles is now super rare in Europe and is up around 60 euros on Amazon for a 15 euro RRP. I can see it reaching 5x RRP, all you need is one valued customer who wants it to complete their collection. Edited March 19, 2017 by Val-E Quote
Pet-Brick-er Posted March 20, 2017 Posted March 20, 2017 Yep. Maybe next xmas. Ekimu and Tahu seem the best as growth of the last bionicle year. In US Tahu is still climbing, 3 x RRP, but also selling Quote

Asking Price on Amazon doesn't mean it really sells for that sort of money....last one sold yesterday on Ebay Germany for 15 Euros... Quote
Val-E Posted March 20, 2017 Posted March 20, 2017 Absolutely, but the QFLL´s are now blown out. Problem is finding buyers. Quote

ZombyMonky Posted April 23, 2017 Posted April 23, 2017 My wife and I went to Game Stop recently and found a treasure (10+) of Dimensions Green Arrow Polybags. The cashier said they'd been sitting there forever and wished they were gone , so we gladly obliged him . Posted straight to ebay, and sold all for more than $20 each! Went in later to see if we could snag some more. A different guy was there, and he first tried to act like he didn't know what we were talking about. Another girl then opens the draw to reveal they still had some left (to his obvious dismay), and then he says he can only get them with a purchase. We happily buy a couple of the 50% off Dimensions fun packs (ET for $6!) and get 2 more! Immediately posted and sold! 5 1 Quote

Guest TabbyBoy Posted April 24, 2017 Posted April 24, 2017 How about a real set reaching 5x RRP, I mean something in a box with proper seals? All these tiny sets are just pocket money snd time consuming TBH. No, I can't think of one either! Was Mars Rover (a PROPER exclusive) the last one do do this? 3x RRP makes more sense now in the new era as you'll still double your investment after fees and tax. Quote

High pricepoint 3. Batman 4. Iconic and legendary vehicle 5. do I need to continue? Furthermore I think TH and HH will do good. SSD (wish I bought more!) is already doing good. Outsiders: ToO, R2-D2 and AA Gotta love revisiting some of the earlier predictions in this thread. Can´t believe I also said ToO! Quote
Val-E Posted April 24, 2017 Posted April 24, 2017 Ninjago 70503 Golden Dragon with RRP 30 euros is currently selling for 3x RRP on Ebay and you won´t find a new one on any European Amazon for less than 150, so that would be a serious candidate for a proper, non exclusive set with a normal 2 year shelf life. 60060 logging truck, 75030 Falcon and 60064 Arctic Plane, 75920 Raptor Escape (exclusive) are in the same range. Funny how some sets from turdy themes have made the cut above more obvious examples. Quote
