ChristopherJB Posted September 9, 2015 Posted September 9, 2015 I think the Horde will be 'missing the boat' on this one!Lowest on ebay at the moment is 200USD. The horde has missed this. I don't think it was that easy to stock up +10 of these sets. Punch in multiple orders of 2 on SAH and the ban hammer will be dropped. Most of the hoarders had to either get them in store, maybe target online, or ordering 2 each time there was double VIP to be able to get their inventory up. I built one of these and it displays beautifully. This should give some hefty returns in the long run. 1 Quote
asharerin Posted September 9, 2015 Posted September 9, 2015 I think alot of people were put off by the amount of stickers and this was harder to stock up in quantity. I like the set and was impressed with the part out value. Stocked up on EEE and left VW for the horde. I expect it to do well and if it turns out to be the last Maersk set it could do extremely well. 1 Quote

I have always been very positive about this set, so it's interesting to see how well it will do over the coming months. Quote
siddji Posted September 9, 2015 Posted September 9, 2015 I was also debating whether to get this set or not since it was not highly sought after. Considering I still ended with 2 , I should thank myself. Quote

There are quite a few online sellers capitalising on this market. 4 Quote
Jersey Crewmax Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 EEE is "call the check availability" likely they have a few left in stock for those that missed it before. 1 Quote
HappyHawkeye Posted October 2, 2015 Posted October 2, 2015 looks like this is off to a nice start - selling at ~$220 on Ebay and lowest on Amazon right now is $240 Quote

Guest Posted October 2, 2015 Posted October 2, 2015 I only have 3. The retiring soon tag that was on it for like 6 months scared me away. I should have just stuck with one of my rules: "It's an exclusive stupid, buy it". Quote
dcdfan Posted October 2, 2015 Posted October 2, 2015 I think a lot of people got scared with this set constantly selling for $119.00 (with free shipping) on eBay from Vietnamese sellers. I think we all know what was going on there... Quote

I should have just stuck with one of my rules: "It's an exclusive stupid, buy it".I only got 3 as well. This set was always on my radar but basically lack of funds worked against me to get more when choosing against other sets. Creator exclusives always take a back seat to other higher profile exclusives it seems! Quote
bricketycricket Posted October 2, 2015 Posted October 2, 2015 Who are these people that were nowhere to be found for the last 6+ months and are now crawling out of the woodwork to pay top dollar for this set? 1 Quote
biking_tiger Posted October 2, 2015 Posted October 2, 2015 Who are these people that were nowhere to be found for the last 6+ months and are now crawling out of the woodwork to pay top dollar for this set? People always want what they can't have/get easily. Weird... but true. 2 Quote
Grynn Posted October 2, 2015 Posted October 2, 2015 Who are these people that were nowhere to be found for the last 6+ months and are now crawling out of the woodwork to pay top dollar for this set? I call them "customers" 7 Quote

ChristopherJB Posted October 24, 2015 Posted October 24, 2015 Going for around 230USD on ebay now. Only a seller from Canada undercutting everyone else at around 210usd. This one seems to be doing quite well after being retired. 1 Quote
Ciglione Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 Is this one still available in the US? Quote
Battrax Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 No, hasn't been in quite some time. Been sold out at the USA LEGO Shop at Home for some time, only 3rd party sellers now as far as I know. Quote
Ciglione Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 Thanks. Hope you have a few stashed away. 1 Quote

I need to work out a way to get 1-2 more at a discount, even if over MSRP. I think it will be worth it but that is just this bloody noob's opinion, innit? Quote

Only SaH and the Legostore were the place to go for this one. If I would be able to get these slightly over MRSP now I would not hesitate. 1 Quote

I don't think they were available anywhere except for the official Lego channels in North America, either - correct me if I am wrong. Well, never seemed to be much enthusiasm for this one in the Americas compared to Australia and Europe from what I can tell. Bit surprising, looks like an impressive set. Quote
