10188 - UCS: Death Star

[Loghamel]

I saw they had it.  Would be fantastic if TRU US sold it.

One left on the bay for $410 free ship from a reputable seller

Looks like $630 will make a good first target for this set. I know alot bought for half that or less so there should be a good amount of profit taking $580 - $630. I already have mine buried deep at the back of my 2015 store room so I am shooting for $1XXX down the line.

I think this set will linger in the upper 500s to 600s for a good while

i would love you all to consider running a poll again about how many do you have now that it may be retired capture the old poll as a historical post and then run a new one

I AGREE!How about this one?

To be clear this is just to see how inventory levels may have changed since the panic of June 2015 and the heads up from Lego via the Retiring Soon label in December 2015.

Don't use that topic for discussion, just for sharing your inventory levels anonymously. 

Yes i realize people can screw with their answers, but that would be pretty lame.

Now every bper should spread the words 10188 is so cool that one can not call themselves a lego collector without this legendary set.  Sure we'll create a bubble big enough to benefit all of us...

I think so too. It's up to $498 for now and I think will see some real fast initial gains before stagnating for a while.

Thanks for setting that up!

I think we will see a repeat of the $600 cashout for those who loaded up sub $300. $900 after those are cleared out (assuming a rehash is not coming down the pipeline of course).

I'm picking up two tomorrow for 600 AUD each (430 USD).

 

I'm hoping to hold onto it for 5  - 10 years, but I just don't see the gains of 10143 for this one.

In Europe, where we had more or less a two week headstart, it´s going for arounf 480-500 euros at auction and the cheapest BIN is now 540 with shipping included. The main thing is that there are quite a few being sold every day - whether to other resellers or as part of the SW mania, is hard to tell.

I expect that it will get to 600 quite rapidly and then stay there as enough people got these cheap in multiples and are happy to double their money and reduce their stash until the new version´s content becomes clearer.

Interesting that the poll suggests almost half the voters have between 0 and 2 left.

This just became appropriate again...

I hate This Rumor that I was told at the Lego store today, The guy working there said the 10188 Death Star will keep being made until the end of 2016.

PS, did anyone notice the Death Star Sold out status has gone from ORANGE TO RED???!?!?!??!?!

Perhaps confirmation that this difference actually matters?

Definitely fun for speculation

 

So it's Sold Out RED and Retiring soon. Should we expect to see a 40% off sale price that nobody will ever get to use next?

I can't wait to see what the new Death Star set looks like. That will be interesting to see either way...

Nowadays I only increase my collection. Therefore excited about the new DS, curious how it changes after 8 years of building techniques improvement.
