Jules_K Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 I haven't seen much discussion about this set, I guess it falls under the general discussion of "will Lego Movie sets perform well". I think this set has a lot going for it, with 4 exclusive mini-figures, Vitruvius (who is only available elsewhere in the Sea Cow) and Lord Business in his full evil attire. What are other peoples thoughts on this set? How long do people think this first wave of Lego Movie sets will stay in stores for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephen_rockefeller Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 This set was a great parter outer while the movie was at it's peak. Now I'm not sure as I have moved on. Still might be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a sneaking suspicion that TRU have picked this set up as their exclusive, I was in my local a couple of days ago and seen about 15 of these, whilst everything else was picked to the bone, these stood still (not sure if they did a restock prior to arriving). I love Lord Business, who my wife thinks that I am the embodiment of, so hopefully this will go fantastic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sauromosis Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 I got two at the thinkgeek half off sale. The kids want to build one so I think we will as I'm not super high on this set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcandre Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Outside of the Sea Cow I'm only buying lego movie sets at 40% off or better. It's not been too hard getting them at that price. I would like to have 10 cows by eol. Have one but I built it, couldn't resist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrymc4677 Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 In my area the movie sets are starting to dry up (probably because I'm buying most of them). If you are near a shopko, they have started to clearance this theme. If you plan your purchases correctly and stack them with a $10 off $50 coupon or a 15% senior discount they can be had for between 40-50% off. I'm sure walmart and target won't be far behind as far as discounting this theme. Shop at home currently has a few sets at 20% off. When these sets first came out I wasn't too excited about them, but they have grown on me. When the next movie comes out I think these will be in demand, especially if they are not available any more. I plan on selling mine in bundles. The lair isn't talked about much, but I think is a sleeper for the reasons mentioned in the OP. Metalbeards Duel is another one that should do well if bought at a discount.

The figs make the set but the build itself is brittle. The kids destroyed it every time they played with it. Vitruvius is also coming out in one of those cheaper 2015 sets which will hurt this one a bit. We have all the movie sets for personal collection and this was one I thought looked better on the box than built and played with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
labfreak7 Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Got a couple of the police pursuits and minifigs a while back. Not sinking too much money into this theme unless the price is right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
