botchy123 Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 Built it this afternoon, nice little cute set. Probably the best free promo since Chrome Stormtrooper polybag. Quote

immenstaad Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 short flip or long hold with GH? whats ur advice? thx Quote
kfishe2 Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 Listed mine on ebay tonight at $60 shipped. Figured it would sell in a week or so. Sold about an hour later. Quote
2x4 Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 Even E-Bay is trending very high right now. I just sold my last GH combined with HT about an hour after I listed it... Will probably start listing GH on E-Bay for $60 or more. I might try and hold one, but when you can get that kinda money for a promo set..... Quote
DenJ91 Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 Just sold a gingerbread/train combo for $92.50. so basically $62 for the gingerbread alone. what's going on here, this is fantastic. prices have just surged like crazy today. i almost regret not bumping it up a 3rd time in 15 minutes. ended up selling in under an hour at that price. at this rate, it could hit $80 on it's own and the bundles def seem to sell quick, much less listed.

Guest Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 I wondered why the three I had listed at $50 shipped all sold in about 3 minutes last night. I hadn't been paying attention to the price. That's why I only list a few at a time. Guess the next 3 will be put up for 65 Quote
supergman Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 I ended up with five, 2 for my kids, sold 3 last week for 40, 40, 43. Fine by me but it's amazing how quickly these have gone up. A really great set for sure, if I had about a dozen I'd make one massive modular! Quote
brickolodon Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 Listed last one 69.95...gone...in one hour (eBay) Quote
4cs Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 Listed 7 this morning for $65, got in the shower, and all 7 had sold in under 10 minutes. Moral of the story? Don't shower (or at least take very quick showers). 2 Quote

A really great set for sure, if I had about a dozen I'd make one massive modular! I had a similar thought today... "I could make a gingerbread village..." Quote
Ed Mack Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 I think somehow the price of the Gingerbread House is tied to this little puppy and chaos for what some described as a boring set with not much return value we could have passed on since it is now only 2 copies away from already being $195 in a matter of weeks http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00J4S9BEA just imagine if they call a movie episode vii and release it and people really start to get star wars fever GH for $250 AT AT for $250 !!!! lol The AT-AT is an example of subpar remake gaining popularity because it's a goner and there is nothing similar left to replace it...yet. There is still that old UCS AT-AT rumor floating around that I just can't seem to ignore. Quote

Ha why you grace me with useful answers I do not know but thank you ! sounds like I should flip my at at sooner than later more than less Quote
Jeffrey_Dollars Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 Well, i called 2 local lego stores, 1 checked for me and said they didnt have it, the other just quickly said yeah and didnt check, i feel like he might have been wrong. I'll find out tomorrow Quote
naf Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 What's the deal with this set? Doesn't seem very special, unless I'm missing something. Haven't been paying attention to Lego the last few months due to real life stuff and of course the freebie I don't stock up on shoots way up Quote

zskid00 Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 (edited) Even my mom was asking me about the Gingerbread House, so that tells me something about demand for this. I gave one to my wife to open and build and it's very eye-catching especially with the Gingerbread Man minifig. I can see why everyone and their mother wants one.

No More Monkeys Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 maybe it went viral or something... are peoples on pinterest these days? Quote
biking_tiger Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 I'm guessing it hit Pinterest or viral online some other way. My wife had friends posting pics on Facebook. It's cute, seasonal, hard to get, and did I mention cute? 4 minutes ago, No More Monkeys said: maybe it went viral or something... are peoples on pinterest these days? Ninja'd! Quote
tunnelvision Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 My remaining stash, having sold 9 so far, avg take home price of $67, but going up every time I sell one. Started selling them for $45 + shipping on the 22nd. Last couple were $94 + shipping, all on Amazon. 3 Quote
longshot Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 How did you manage to get so many? Did these go on sale without having to spend the $100? Or did you drop like 5k last week? Quote
