SSD was not available for 7 years, that gives it a decent edge over DS.  DS likely has a lot more hoarding.  Assuming a similar DS set is not released (risky assumption), DS will ultimately top SSD, but that will probably take a while.

no contest...

[trekgate502]

Yep no contest DS

[gregpj]

assuming he ment TRU.ca they seem to almost every current exclusive instock most of the time...  not sure how that happens...  they are like the target of canada...

Yes TRU.ca and Walmart.ca is what I meant!

Exclusives aren't cheap and we don't get things like TRU rewards. discounted gift cards or TRUTH, etc. Unfortunately, smaller pool of resellers to compete with also means a smaller pool of buyers at secondary market prices. Until this past year, anyone with some know how could get the DS cheaper out of country too since it's $499 CDN.

[Sauromosis]

Longest term probably SSD but I would expect DS to double in a similar time frame.

[ravenb99]

DS will also cause a lot of regret.   Or so I was told...

[gregpj]

they are like the target of canada...

I sure hope not... Target Canada didn't work out too well up here. No stock, crappy sales, 10-20% off for clearance prices. They had Starbucks, but even those weren't done right and were always empty.

Regret of not getting or regret of getting ?

I already have 10 someone needs to tell me to stop

Just regret

[jay4e]

Regret of not getting or regret of getting ?

that depends on how quickly it hits $1k  could go either way, but it will be a lot either way...

[Sauromosis]

Don't stop

 

Believing

 

Hold on to that feelayiayaya

I'd rather have 40 Darth Revan polys at $10 each   Heck, I'd take 26 at $15 each

I used to believe in the DS but I no longer have a good feeling about it unless it's held for a long time...

[exciter1]

I regret not waiting until 50% off at S@H.

[waddamon]

Except that it is most likely the best selling lego set ever at 400.00.  Once gone, why would that demand lessen, just sayin.

I regret not waiting until 50% off at LEGO Shop at Home.

like SSD did?

wait, SSD half off was hard. But DS is a ball shaped object. It is easier to cut in perfect half.

At the rate around here I am thinking not for long lol

But you can file that in the miss column with my Red Five predictions

WM will keep them alive a bit / on and off

if it follows SSD's pattern.

I think the remake (if true) will hinder it...

[Sauromosis]

Remake for rogue one?  Maybe...but there are two superweapons (suncrusher and slingshot???) in episode 7 and I would expect one of those first.

[trekgate502]

Here is the thing it all depends on when and if the remake gets here, Christmas and Star Wars mania

Amazon toys & games ranking

Tower Bridge is 9,188
Ewok is 8,482
Cinema Palace is 4,860
Death Star is 1,372
ISD is 1,086
AT AT is 794

To me this says you should be loading up on AT AT, ISD and Death Star (I am on the first 2, have 10 of the DS and not sure if I should stop)

Timing is everything if no new set this Christmas and it is gone then it is gold
If it does not run out of stock and new set is better and arrives while this one is here
I will be happy trying to get break even

Just imagine when fans really start going Star Wars crazy in November and December

There will probably be another DS run just in time for the new movie.
