slabit Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Greetings, I am having a hard time find this set. I noticed that lots of online retailers that are carrying the other super hero sets (76026+) either do not have this set in stock (ever) or do not even have it listed. Any ideas on why that may be? Is it that popular or is there a supply issue? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biking_tiger Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 I found some at local WMs and Target this weekend. The new sets will trickle in, I think. The price point is low enough to move, too. Kids with allowance money can buy this where Darkseid Invasion might be out of the price range.

exciter1 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 You'll see more of them than you'll want to before long. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black_towr Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 I've found a few of this set mostly at Target. Right now on their website they have it listed at $12.99 so if your lucky to find one or a few don't forget to price match. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpinemaps Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Other than one or two Targets, I, too haven't seen these on the shelves yet. I wouldn't worry about it, though. They will be out there soon enough. I know it's frustrating when there's a set you want, but can't seem to get it. I couldn't even order this set off of TRU's website last night.

Target removed the set from its website. no more price matching will they price match a personal receipt for a different store for a certain time period?

Copterman Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 I have a feeling this set will be a good set to flip. I'm sitting pretty on 3 mint boxes. Saw the WM employee stock the shelf with them. Unfortunately paid retail but that's obviously what you'll have to pay for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check this one out. Not bad for $15 MSRP set, eh ? http://www.brickpicker.com/bpms/set.cfm?set=4529-1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biking_tiger Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 But we are talking Green Lantern, not Iron Man. The picture for Mr. Lantern is not so rosy: http://www.brickpicker.com/bpms/set.cfm?set=4528-1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grynn Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Target removed the set from its website. no more price matching will they price match a personal receipt for a different store for a certain time period? Yeah I was highly disappointed yesterday on my way to the Wal-Mart register with a couple of these. Wasted a good 10 minutes trying to hunt up the listing, with Target Mobile App acting up and all. Lots of similarity between this set and Riddler Chase, except the latter wasn't really discounted for quite a while after release, afaik.

exciter1 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Target put the listing back with the CORRECT price Wow! It took Amazon like a month to fix their Hobbit: Battle of Five Armies listing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chinchy Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Target put the listing back with the CORRECT price FWIW, I tried to get Target to price match it in-store to that $12.99 price, but they said it was an incorrect listing. The reason they cited was that the description mentioned it was a 90 piece set, but the box itself listed 174 piece set. So no luck on price matching...

bdoubleg Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Nearly seven months on what do people think of this set as an investment in the UK - its available for 13.30 pounds at the moment? I am tempted to get a few? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stud-Flipper Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 (edited) So, there hasn't been much talk on this set. Does anyone think it will continue to go under the radar until retirement, only to sell for massive returns in the aftermarket?

Guest brickcrazyhouse Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 fans of the green lantern movie will be willing to pay big money for this later on. problem is there are no green lantern movie fans seriously it all depends if green lantern makes another appearance.

You really think that this set is dependent on the movie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
