Dang, I really like the ship, I've liked the last few sets, but how many variants do we need? It is not as iconic as the Falcon, Slave 1, or X-Wing. Because I am a sucker for Lego and Star Wars, I'll get a few but more for personal pleasure than for investing.

Here is a Brickset review.

Here is a side-by-side comparsion by Jangbricks for all Sith Infiltrators.

Received the Sith Infiltrator ordered on Sunday with seal code 22S5 today. Must have been a slow seller then.

I think it hasn't sold because people see it as overpriced because of the piece count.

I still think it has some positives as an investment. Iconic PT ship and figures, best Lego version of the ship, unlikely to be remade again now given all the new material, not widely available in shops. I picked up a few with reasonable discount a while back as a bit of a punt.

I personally like the ship as I loved darth maul however the Sith infiltrator is a dud. 

This set has been re-released 5 times and has not done well post EOL. 

7663 retired in 2008, RRP £25, selling at £45-50. Which is a pretty poor price considering it has been 8years.

 

7961 retired 2012, RRP £60, Selling at  £70-80.

 

The other big problem is that no one wants to buy the older sets or even the sith infiltrator in general, so even though you have low supply you have low demand.

Yes but the reason the previous releases stayed low is because there was always a newer better release. When this retires can you really see Lego remaking it any time soon? 

OT ships are looking like they are going to get rehashed to death with the new films and Star Wars filler films.

The kids brought up on PT are getting to that age where lego rediscovery usually happens. 

It's a gamble sure but with the new films I have no confidence in buying the usual mf's and x wings to make money.

It is a no brainer at $55, and a steal at $45 with last weeks discounted GCs!! Here is what Jang thinks compared to the other 3. Part value may SEEM high, but I assure you, it is not. Have a look at the parts cost for yourself! 

[Martae54]

Fast forward to the 9:00 minute mark for very detailed price per part comparison.

Price seems to be moving fairly nicely for these. Up to selling for about £68 on eBay, compared to the £40 buy-in available in February.

I picked this up for about 60% off, around $40 USD. Although I'm not a huge fan of it, you get 5 mini figs, especially the Qui-gon. Still I'm not sure what I should do with this set - build or keep for a sell later. What you guys think?

[MrToes16]

Found a small batch of these at a Legoland Discovery store at a decent discount. Forgot the exact % off but it looked ok. Walked away after a glance but thought about it for a while after. Trying to get some motivation to buy but I'll wait for now.
