labfreak7 Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Oh no... Cantina was a "red" sold out along with AT AT and ISD, but now it has been moved to "orange" sold out while the others remain red. I hate this red/orange nonsense. I wish there was clear cut meaning. I think I may cash out a bunch of these before Christmas Red orange , it doesn't matter until it gets the retired tag. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But someone at Lego went in and changed it. There has to be some reason as to why they would change it. I doubt they just do it to mess with us. Any whatever that reason is, I don't like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val-E Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Yeah, orange sold out seems to be equivalent to our call to check but until it is retired for good it doesn´t make much difference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bricketycricket Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 The LEGO Shop at Home website is a technical mess. You guys are giving them too much credit with this red/orange thing. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Gordy Quick look of the majors and TRU at retail is the only one I can see. eBay is at retail. Bricklink has a couple at around £50 from Germany, so add shipping but may work out a bit cheaper than retail. You may get lucky and find one in store somewhere or on a smaller random site, for lower, but I’d be surprised, it's pretty much gone.

Val-E Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 (edited) Young Han may save this one but I don´t see it at any more than 2x RRP. It´s more of a minifig selection than a set. At 50% off buy-in it seems a good investment. May the curse of the Star Wars non spacecraft playset not be repeated. Sorry Mods, wrong thread.

I think that Han is the wrong figure to peg this set on. It's the same Han that comes with the microfighter. The rest of the figures and the bigfig dewback are stronger choices.

I'm not saying that it's not a nice figure, I'm just saying that since it is available in another set and the others aren't, they're more likely to lift it up.

GiliusThunderhead Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Just checked this one out over on eBay nice to see its slowly on the way up now that its getting rarer to find out in the wild. Nothing like AT-AT or SD but of the 3 this is my personal favorite. Interesting to see how this one does long term - certainly be near the top of my wants list. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salimr Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I really like this set as it is a non vehicle or ship. I just have so many ships. This and ewok village and the Death Star battle are my family's favorite Star Wars sets that have been available recently or are still available Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fossilrock Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 (edited) I would have thought this one would be going for more than 11.00 over retail. Seems to be stuck fluctuating around 80 to 85 on the low end at amazon. But, I also think so many hoarded this one, that it's going to be a slow slow grind. But with the rumor of at-at's being in rogue one and a new 3.75 at-at hasbro vehicle due out in fall, there's no doubt of the 2014 summer wave this maybe the best to have long term. I just think it's at least a 3 to 4 year hold to maybe see it go for around 200…and that's if we are lucky.

legoverzamelen Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Yes I also like this set a lot. It somehow has more playfeatures and playability then I expected at first. Also the speeder and the dewback are fun extras. About the minifigs: my guess would be that Greedo will be worth a bit too? Oh, and for the fans that are adjusting the 75105 Falcon into an Original Trilogy version: all you have to do is add a Chewie and a Leia to the three main characters of this Cantina set and you have the full crew again ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noods Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 I think this set is rad. I mean its one of the most controversial scenes in all of Star Wars. Who shot first lol. By the way Han shot first and last! This alone made me have to have this set. The fact that it all folds up as well makes for a pretty cool display piece as well as having great playability and minifigs. In terms of a remake the scene sets are a lot harder to justify a remake where vehicles and ships can and will always make new appearances in the new movies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val-E Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 When I made my 2015 portfolio, I got 6 ISD´s for every AT AT an 3 AT AT´s per Mos Eisley and that seems to have been a reasonably accurate estimate of demand for these sets. Here, they could all be had at between 45 and 60% off so there is still a lot of stock of the latter 2 to be sold after Xmas and prices have stayed more pegged than ISD. Long term, remakes will be an issue that caps growth but it would appear that, on equal terms, this set will do the worst of the three.

I love this quote from the article: Quote They wanted nothing to deter from the simple pleasure of playing with this toy. In order to do so, they harnessed all their experience, their creativity, their exactitude. Indeed, they bestowed their mastery of craft upon this precious toy.
