Bold-Arrow Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Just now, landphieran said: With all the deep discounts on tie fighers. Often being available from 100-160$. How do people think this set is going to perform? I believe it has more display ability then the Red 5. Seemingly produced in similar mass quantities. I'd guess after retirement it will sit at 280 for quite some time. Depending on buy in this would be an easy 50-80$ profit. im not too optimistic .... guessing $50 would be good , but sad in plenty of ways. Amazon : $159.9 https://www.amazon.com/LEGO-Star-Wars-Fighter-75095/dp/B00X3301HI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1512327954&sr=8-1&keywords=lego+ucs+tie+fighter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregP Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 I never seen huge discounts in the UK. 20% off from Lego has been about as good as it gets. Maybe some occasional discounts from TRU. Its a great display piece so should do ok post retirement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calmdahn Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Just picked two up for like $140 per. Boxes may be slightly damaged, we’ll see. Will I ever make my money back? These are long holds for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So for $140 it isn't looking so bad for you considering its Red 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshB Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 No Red 5. Sorry, that was a little misleading. Red 5 has been a turd. But since many think the same of Tie Fighter you should be able to sell for the same if you hold for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won't be remade for the next several years, and the value of a MISB/NISB will steadily increase. Maybe not as fast as speculators had hoped for, but people looking for spectacular increases should move over to cryptocurrencies. I expect the same from 75095. Not a QF set for sure, but give it five years and it will see a healthy value increase. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shewie Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 (edited) new x wing is expected later this year. The Red Five isn't a turd but smaller iterations doen't make this set appealing in potential customer's eyes. This set will never success imo the way other sets SW performed over time post eol for that reason alone plus new "classic" X-Wing expected to be released later this year so it won't make it any better for this set performance wise.

Different target markets. UCS collectors and AFOLS will want the bigger ones and kids will get the small ones. TIE retiring allowed me to sell my last Red 5 as people want both in a bundle. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But at this point its only pulling in about $30 to 40 above rrp after fees three years after its retired. I hope Tie fighter performs better but I highly doubt it especially given that it was discounted here in us. I only purchased 1 tie for personal collection and I am glad I did. Red 5 taught me a lot.

RKI_Fismo Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 I'm hoping the bad guy factor comes into play with this. I collected all of the G1 Transformers a few years back & couldn't help noticing that the Decepticons were generally far rarer & pricier than the Autobots. The Tie is a more simple design but has that cool menacing look going on. They even sound better than the X-Wings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
