Pretty sure it was a joke. It would be horrible for posterity. One thing I really enjoy about this site is that you can go back. If these were merged, much would be lost.

Yep, I realized that a little bit too late.

The last one sold on German ebay fetched 392€ shipped. The seller claims he needs to make room (and already put up the next DS for auction).

Look, I Have 60 Death Stars and 100% glad I do, now since 2008 there were plenty times to get them $300 and Lower, when Toys R US had those buy 2 get one free Exclusives were included, so that was about $280 a set, and when Barnes and Noble had them I got 16 for $262.00, so in 3-5 yrs if I can only make $300 on each one I am happy, but they should be $1000 and rising. Just look last year when the SSD retired how many guys on here were saying it would take 3 or more yrs to get to $700, and look at them now. Sure there are plenty out there but people are Cracking everyday just to make a few bucks. So you guys with just a few and selling them now I thing are making a huge mistake, and to sell to pay off your credit card bill, well the big rule is don't go in major debt to buy Lego unless you can pay it off when the bill comes. And guys who think the set should rise big bucks after a few months are living in a dream world. So Unless you have to sell for money that you need now hold on to them. I always stated buying is hard enough, but waiting without cracking is another thing.     Ed

hi ed,

with how things are going down, how did you handle selling off 10188 with this 99% remake?  being a veteran member here, i'm sure more than a couple folks are wondering about your strategy. 

5 10188s were in my inventory.  sold 4 w/in the last 2 weeks.  We kept 1 for the kids but decided to sell it if the price is right.

To my point of view there is far too much skirl in this discussion. I got 2 boxes of 10188 - and I will never ever sell them now. Maybe in 2-3 years, who knows. I have paid 2/3 of the retail price, and it will NEVER reach this price again. So I have no problem keeping it.

This just makes zero sense to me. Especially with the $500 price on the new one.

@LegoWalker4 Seriously? Where have you been all day.... you really need to get over to the 75159 thread. But links and pictures are not currently allowed...

Plenty of ways to find the pictures now if you're handy with Google.

Can't blame them, I'd be in panic mode too if I had few too many, I have one only so I'm good.

I have one used complete and 2 NIB. Since I don't have much in the DS I'll just sit back and watch it all unfold. Worst case scenario someone may get a really sweet gift down the road.
