The listings were split out a few weeks ago. Amazon has moved some listings around and not at the request of the sellers. if i understand correctly, UPC are different for the product releases. [ sets released in europe have/had different codes than released in US ] in this case also its very possible that the "japanese" release has a different UPC hence different ASIN. amazon will never merge those two UPC's. they will simply say its a separate product. It is valid UPC. Edited September 27, 2016 by newbie77 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I still have decent stock left, and would like to sell a few out once it gets over 200, and by that point, we should finally start seeing the rest of the Jurassic theme starting to rise. I'm ready for the Trex tracker and IR's to be profitable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val-E Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 The right time to sell is when you feel happy with the price you will get for it. Arctic plane, which was a similar priced short run set from 2015 continues to appreciate but it´s non licensed. When JW line disappears this winter, RE will have no direct competition to cap its price so I expect that winter 2017 will be the optimum time and that prices won´t go up much more after that. Another movie and wave of licensed sets is a risk not to be discounted. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I don't feel like RE has much going for it but the scarcity. The set itself is kind of "meh." I think it's going to be a nice hold for some, but sales volume has dropped way off. "Caving" isn't necessarily a bad thing--it's more of market timing. That's true. I don't know why people would pay 230 for that set. I even think shelling more than 50 for that set is obscene, but hey, if they want to buy them at that, more power to them. I don't know if Lego will get the Jurassic World license again though. I wouldn't doubt if Megabloks takes it over since the license went to mattel. I just don't see mattel handing the theme to their competitor, so that would leave a generic lego theme as the only way to get a future raptor, but they won't be Jurassic World versions, so who knows what will happen. That's why I think the tiered selling approach is a smart way to do things. As the set prices rise, and if you have stock, sell some off as it rises and catch the profit wave along the crest. I could see them being a very slow seller when it hits a 200 price point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jurassic World (mostly buying way too many TREX trackers when they were the scarcest in the line and not flipping but holding them during that time last summer) and Simpsons series 2 remain my two biggest mistakes. I just take solace in that I also made decent choices with fallingwater, farnsworth house, AT-AT's, Lonely Mountains, and ISD's as those were the other sets I bought the most of last year.

"Caving" isn't necessarily a bad thing--it's more of market timing. Agree. I consider the Zombies more unique and thus more collectible (and the entire MF line). I am surprised at the performance of RE. That being said, my two remaining RE sets are still aging on eBay, reaching their prime. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cory730 Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 I have sold 20 of my 45 the last couple months. It stagnated at 125 and when it hits that price the sales rank goes way up. Just sent 4 in and sold at 120 so buy box is now higher. I think $150 is max for this set for next year or 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah then you should buy all of those at us $ 119 and lower from Amazon USA and drop ship them to Europe. good luck. I will still stand by us $ 150 as a ceiling you haven't looked at 30320 it reached 49,99 I.e.

Bluetoon Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Does anyone have thoughts, on how far in price Raptor Escapes will go for, on Ebay? Currently, they can be had between $103-105 including shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huskers1236 Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 I know ebay is lagging behind Amazon, but I'm going to have to raise my price I think, sold 8 or so at $105. Couldn't give them away at $70 this time last year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
