HandyHand Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 Stormtrooper?Stormtrooper Sergeant polybag only comes with qualifying Star Wars sets orders (minimum order amount must be met). Quote
Alpinemaps Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 When did this start? I think that's UK only and started on the 15th. Quote

Val-E Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 It´s all in the SAH October thread, please don´t pollute Birds with all that Disney stuff! 2 Quote
trekgate502 Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 Ok be careful remember all two members of the Audubon society that wanted this set already have two copies each 2 Quote
Val-E Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 Yet it is selling for 1.5 RRP on Ebay in Europe. They must both be resellers trying to get all 4 sets. 1 Quote

Val-E Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 Lego should let them free, it´s been backordered almost as long as the DS has been on the market. 1 Quote
HandyHand Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 I have one Birds set, and I think the box actually looks quite nice sealed. Quote
Locutus001 Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 I have one Birds set, and I think the box actually looks quite nice sealed. Well I did build this set and it's a pretty enjoyable build! (Or better three builds!) The birds look very nice on display and I really wanted to build them when I saw this set. But I can understand how this set might not be as appealing as other ideas sets. There is no real fan base (other than ornithologist maybe ^^) and all in all the set is nothing "special" (no fancy minifigs included). Personally I think this is the weakest ideas set right now (maybe even of all). I still can see people wanting this set later on and paying 50-100% on top of the RRP. In any case it is a beautiful set. 3 Quote

Plus, it is an awesome set. 3 Quote
Veegs Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 I like sets that other investors aren't buying. Plus, it is an awesome set.Agreed on both counts. Double VIP and the train (or later Gingerbread House) make this the ideal time. I'm not counting on it being available next year at this time. Maybe 2xVIP in the spring, but I'd rather be safe than sorry. 1 Quote

That's why I actually bought one Birds set, and not the TBBT set. Edited October 23, 2015 by Haay Quote

fossilrock Posted October 24, 2015 Posted October 24, 2015 http://globalnews.ca/news/1978047/birding-hobby-soars-in-popularity-across-north-america/One of the top hobbies in the world. Lego building is probably up there, but no where near…. The two combined is $$, IMO!I did take note that the birds sets at my TRU depleted quite rapidly. At one point they got a massive stock and had a shelf full of them. Lasted less than a month. Quote
Migration Posted October 24, 2015 Posted October 24, 2015 Is it still called "falconry" if you catch and train a blue jay, robin, or humming bird? Quote

Birds is a terrible set, there is no collectable value here, and it's appeal is so tiny, you'll be forced to unload at half of retail long after retirement. Absolutely nothing to see here, you've wasted 5 minutes of your time just checking this thread. Move along, this isn't the Lego investment gold mine you're looking for.... 1 Quote
