Darth_Raichu Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 I predict $300 on 1st day of availability, and it won't go lower than $200 afterwards 3 Quote
inversion Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 I just recently thought about that LEGO should do this cover as a set. Not as a SDCC exclusive. This would fly off the shelves. What will be next? Toy Fair exclusive modular? An obscure minifig is OK, however doing iconic stuff like this is too much. Quote
exciter1 Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 Without the scared minifigs running, no deal. 1 Quote

Alpinemaps Posted June 22, 2015 Author Posted June 22, 2015 I hope Alpine is already putting together the Bricklink parts list for this?Well...Pretty awesome.. is the superman minifig new?Nope.You won't be building the car in green...http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=98281 Yeah...boo!But, I doubt Lego is only creating a run of 2000 of this part in green. Just like the 2x2 Trans-Green plate that seems to be non-existent accept for the forthcoming Dagobah SW micro build, I have to think we're going to see both of those bricks somewhere else soon. Time to start sleuthing on where else those might show up. (It won't be in the Scooby Doo sets, I know that much). Quote

I think Lego is doing this on purpose now. Maybe because of people like me making reproductions. Quote

Maybe because of people like me making reproductions.It wouldn't surprise me in the least that LEGO is doing it on purpose to stop people from reproducing them and selling them... They may not blatantly stop resellers but they clearly have a few strategies to deal with them. Quote
jaylay Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 Very solid! Huge future returns on that one. Good luck to those going to SDCC. Quote
jay4e Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 Well...Nope.Yeah...boo!But, I doubt Lego is only creating a run of 2000 of this part in green.

Time to start sleuthing on where else those might show up. (It won't be in the Scooby Doo sets, I know that much).this is actually a perfect way to make them exclusive with minimal cost. creating new parts is expensive, changing colors is not. it should be just enough to make the set unique will still allowing MOCers to make their own recreations.

BrickLegacy Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 I predict $300 on 1st day of availability, and it won't go lower than $200 afterwards This might be the first comic-con exclusive I go after...hoping it dips below $200 at some point. Might be a good Brickclassifieds want ad/trade opportunity. Quote

zskid00 Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 (edited) Waddamon - If you are going to SDCC and have not been before to get the LEGO exclusives then you must prepare yourself. There are many die-hard LEGO fans and scalpers going after these same exclusives and the per day allotment is usually small (like 75-100 of each exclusive). It may seem like a decent amount but with over 100k people at Comic-Con each day you will have lots of competition. They are doing a raffle this year for the chance to buy the exclusives instead of having people rush their booth first thing in the morning which is an improvement. However be prepared to spend the first part of your day going through a long raffle line and may the odds ever be in your favor. Edited June 23, 2015 by zskid00 1 Quote
