Guest TabbyBoy Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 OMG... I forgot, I have an "Applecart-Upsetting-Amount" of RE's that I bought at half price (£19.99) while everybody else was lapping up the Indominous, I'll see what I can shift this week using my contacts and I'll put the remainder on eBay at £79.99 with best offer. Honestly, I never realised I was sitting on gold until now ;-) It seems like I was the sleeper, not this set! Thank you guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suggest 109.99 BO as the cheapest ones are at 130 quid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Lewis still have 172x 75917 RR and 10x 75918 TRT in stock as of now for those that are interested. Paying RRP for the "leftovers" isn't the way I work.

MoHu Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Lowest Buy Now on fleabay is £160. I was going to start selling but will see how the market is closer to xmas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheese Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 If this hits £200 in the pre Xmas rush will be tempted to offload a few more especially if eBay have any FVF deals. Can't complain about 200% profit after fees in less than a year (assuming £66 buy in) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just need the remaining stock from amazon to get wiped out and you'll get your wish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val-E Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 200 euros minimum on Ebay now and still the 2 strongest weeks of the year to go. RE still breathing down its neck, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustyshelf Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Received my last IR today from Amazon (popped up for $109 for a few hours this week). Tags are 39R6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leopard Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 There are still few retailers online and in store that are carrying IR which seem to have plenty in stock, wonder if I should pull the trigger on this set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I invested in both sets, but more than twice as much in AT-AT. Looking at the models, it's not even close. One of these is a badass Imperial war machine. The other is a chunky toy that barely resembles Lego. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't wanna badmouth any sets that people are putting time and money into and I'm sure many will still be able to make money on these sets, but there is really nothing appealing to me personally beyond the dinosaurs in all the Jurassic World sets. The dinosaurs are bad-ass, there's no doubt about that. But the structures and vehicles are pretty boring in my opinion and the minifigs are of characters we wouldn't know the names of if they weren't written on the box. Then again, I like the Lone Ranger sets so what do I know? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IRB fits that mold as well, since her first appearance and subsequent escape set the movie in motion, plus she's the big bad (always a crowd pleaser).

I get what you're saying - my concern for the infinite potential of the set is that the only real draw is the Dinosaurs. I would worry based on the performaance of Smaug.

I noticed that last night. I had mine at a placeholder of $150. I don't wanna sell any of mine at $150, so I jumped it to $250. I put it at $150 a few months ago thinking it would take a while to work through Amazon and desperate/un-patient sellers' stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoosterCogburn Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 (edited) Found one of these at my local Toys R US in UK, seal code was 39S6, box had shelf wear, nearly left it but had a couple of £20 off vouchers.
