Hey. I'm not saying I understand the logic but people do seem to be happy with the hassle of flipping and making fiver through local freeads sites or even cashing out for no profit just to get the money back in their pocket. It's not a strategy I'd be happy with but it's this logic that keeps prices lower than they should be.

That´s why I avoided this set (and many others).

12 quid before fees is plenty of room? Maybe I should have got many more Pet Shops then.

Fees, what fees.  We’ve seen a £1 FVF on ebay every month this year.   And don’t forget cashback and vendor loyalty points.  Return from these can be higher than the profit on sales on flipping.  But anyways, Lego RA is a low margin volume game.  If there is an in production set you can flip and flip again with 5% return. Just move the plastic.

Finally built the set yesterday. I like it. I don't know if I like the wing shapes but they might be true to the movie, I never paid that much attention to them until I built it wrong by lining up the surfaces to what I assumed was correct.

oos for shipping on amazon, walmart, target.

lowish seller count in the mid 66s, lowest FBA already $107.  close to double the easily obtainable $56 bulk buyin.

Finally...this stuck around longer than anticipated, but now it's time to shine. Once remaining stock dries up we should hopefully have 2-3 years to make some decent money before a remake.

Fixed, considering an OT X Wing is coming in the summer.

I'd better get selling then!

Seriously though, this isn't just any old OT X-Wing. This is POE'S X-Wing. Completionists will want it, no matter what other X-Wing happens to be currently available.

Agree. The upcoming (generic) OT X-Wing will cannibalize into the sales of the (generic) Resistance X-Wing (grey with blue accents) while this uniquely coloured black with orange accents Poe's X-Wing will keep a special place for collector's.

resistance x-wing is already up to $120 fba. 

both this set and resistance x-wing will make it to $150 by the end of the year.

resistance x-wing microfighter is one of my top performing investments of 2017.  $5 buyin, lowest FBA:  $27.95.

its nothing short of a miracle that the seller count on both x-wings is well under 100.

barring any EXACT remakes, i don't see how these won't do well.

Still can’t believe that a telly tubby is the best pilot in the resistance.

Doesn't seem to be a lot of competition anymore.

i'm still trying to figure out what's going on with this variant all these years later.

So the "PO" stands for "Penis Out"?  He looks very proud either way!

It appears that the Force has indeed "Awakened".

i would think seller count is low because it’s not time to sell them yet. everyone is waiting until it’s finally retired.

I really can't believe that this set is still around.
