Cheese Posted May 14, 2016 Posted May 14, 2016 Last civil war set just been revealed and it doesn't include Ant Man. I'm glad I stocked up on this. Seen the prices slowly climbing since the film was released. Now this should hopefully move steadily upwards as we approach Xmas. Looking to hopefully sell these close to £50 with a £10 buy in. http://www.bricktoynews.com/lego-civil-war-spider-man-set-revealed-lego-76067-photos/ 2 Quote
micbelt Posted May 14, 2016 Posted May 14, 2016 They have already been selling for $65 here in the states. Quote
Jules_K Posted June 5, 2016 Posted June 5, 2016 Prices have now hit 3x RRP in this neck of the woods, sales of this set have significantly increased since the release of the Airport Battle. Quote
Zelgazra Posted June 5, 2016 Posted June 5, 2016 Anyone speculating that the Airport Battle set will take off in a similar manner, or is this spike reflective of purely perfect timing for Ant Man Battle's retirement? A year+ down the road when Airport Battle disappears, will the interest still be there? Is there an Ant Man 2 in the works? Quote

I think the FInal Battle was a perfect storm of events that are unlikely to be repeated with Airport Battle. There were early production issues with ANt-Man that made it hard to find in the beginning. It had a limited 6 month life span. The collectors were looking at bigger sets and only scrambled to get this one after it was gone because honestly, not a lot of fans would choose Ant-Man as a favorite character. I actually think that the big aftermarket on this and the excitement over airport battle are going to stimulate them to overproduce sets for Ant-Man 2 causing a partial crash on this set. I look forward to getting a Wasp though. To me, it's just not the Avengers without her. 1 Quote

Yeah, well, the a-hole who listed 380x 76039 on Amazon and lowballing must have thought they were onto something. Quote

ED-209 Posted June 6, 2016 Posted June 6, 2016 Yea but I don't think Yellowjacket and Anthony the flying ant will get a rehash 1 Quote
Val-E Posted November 8, 2016 Posted November 8, 2016 When do you guys see as being the optimum selling time for this set? I am guessing this Xmas a lot of folk will cash in as there is always the cloud of remakes, at least of the minifigs, on the horizon. Quote
Fenix_2k1 Posted November 8, 2016 Posted November 8, 2016 Well the next Ant-Man film isn't released until July 2018 and I'd be very surprised if Lego released another set featuring ant-man prior to 2018. I think the price might stagnate a bit over xmas as most people will be trying to cash in. Probably around SDCC next year when new trailer is released and hype starts to build will be a good time. 1 Quote
Lego Templar Posted November 8, 2016 Posted November 8, 2016 Paid 62 on eBay for this last week. NIB. I'm far from an expert but if I had some and they were going for 3-4 times RRP I would unload by end of year. From what I've seen my almost year of doing this is there is a remake of a remake around every corner. Use 10188 as an example, was best to unload little after retirement (short lived as it was) everyone has their own style I suppose but making 300% (maybe even higher depending on buy in) should be good enough. That's my macro view at least lol.As far as ant man is concerned I personally don't think we see a new minifig till 2018 so the ceiling on this set (in my opinion) is going to be 75-100. It's not like the chopper takedown which we know Lego will not make a new dead pool minifig. Quote
Cheese Posted November 8, 2016 Posted November 8, 2016 I got rid of all but one of mine at an average of £40 with an ave buy in of £15 with the TRU coupons earlier in the year. Prices have stagnated since they went up to £40 and could be a while before it hits £50, if at all, since remake of ant man mini figure is a given due to new film. Quote

guiriman Posted November 10, 2016 Posted November 10, 2016 I had two, average buy in of £15 (one at £10, one at £20). Sold one for £42 when eBay had 75% of Final Value fees, will aim to sell the other for around the same next time I get an eBay offer. Quote
exciter1 Posted February 23, 2017 Posted February 23, 2017 The low ballers are starting to clear out and Ant-Man is now moving, $85 FBA. Quote
Val-E Posted February 23, 2017 Posted February 23, 2017 It´s a mystery to me how there can be so many lowballers with such a rare set. Do people really all have 99 of everything? Quote
