exciter1 Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Anaheim is just pretty far for me... I was going to take the kids to the local comic con convention this year but schedules didn't permit. Some local TF fans started an enercon last summer and have already advertised this year's but I'm worried it will just end up costing more money if they really get into Star Wars. Currently they just like playing with "my" Star Wars sets and minifigures. I might take my son next time. Right now it's the same core group that started going clear back to Celebration III. We travel from Ohio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goodby1 Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Hey all. I've been reviewing the trailer for episode 7 and when it shows the new x-wings, they clearly have BLUE details instead of the red details in all the previous films. Doesn't this mean that all future x-wing Legos will be blue? What does this say about Red Five's collectable value and the timing of its EOL?

pete411 Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 The Red 5 blew up the Death Star 1 so it will always be popular. What did the blue X-Wing do? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will appreciate nicely once it is done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canonikon Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Don't worry about value of R5. It will appreciate nicely once it is done. It have already appreciated before it's done. Ebay sold prices are showing average $250 sold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goodby1 Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Actually I wasn't worried about the appreciation of R5... I was just implying that it might be even MORE classic as future toys focus on the new generation of blue x-wings: the R5s will be even more rare and more valuable as the "originals"... and if Lego starts with a blue x-wing trend sooner, the sooner the classic will be seen as of value.

Rogue Squadron traditionally had a red livery, other squadrons had blue stripes, so it's not particularly to do with the new movies. There's due to be a Rogue Squadron movie as part of the new stream of movies, so Red Five should do well on the back of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTT Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Being a clueless newbie, is there somewhere here I can get clued in on the date code stickers? Just got my pair of Red 5 sets, and I see they are listed as backordered again from LEGO Shop at Home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MathBuilder Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 ^ You can go read this topic which explains it all http://community.brickpicker.com/topic/10400-assumed-lego-factory-tape-seal-date-codes-for-set-boxes/?hl=codes A quick explanation say you have 11R4 that means 11th week, R=produced in Mexico, 4=2014 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudcatsfan Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 What is in-store stock like where you live? Here in North Carolina, it appears to be gone again. We had the drought from around December till March, then it reappeared in stores for about a month with the new 2015 date codes. Seems to be gone again. Can you report back with your state and if they're still in stock near you? Just curious. Considering how this one is getting snapped up as soon as its in stock (even at 275 on Target.com) it feels like this is full on dance mode for Red Five.

lego rules Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 (edited) I have a lot of these, but will pick up a few more tonight. I would be surprised if this didn't double in value after just one year after EOL. The new movies will just put more fuel on the fire.

JM123 Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Nice set, bought 7 of them last week at ToysRus when they were 160 euro.. with an official retail price of 230 euro here in Holland, 160 is the best deal I ever found here. I think (and hope) this set is standing on its last legs, but with TLG you never know.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JM123 Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 How come the price is so low? Can't find them cheap anything here in the UK? They are normally 200 euro at toysrus.nl, which was already cheap and regarded as an offer. Last week they had 20% discount on Lego, so I didn't expect that it would be applicable on the already discounted X-wing, but luckily it was also applicable for this set, so you could grab it for 160 euro.. Went sold out quite quickly though ;-) good price indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crustybeaver Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Can't find them cheap anything here in the UK? And you won't. Since Argos binned these off last year your only hope is TLG. May the 4th is probably going to be your last chance to get this set with any form of deal or discount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oneknightr Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 (edited) I have not seen Red Five in my local store in Pleasanton, CA since late last year. This store also hasn't restocked ToO, PS, or PC for some time as well. I was just there yesterday too. Does someone have any inside information on whether this will be discounted here in the US for May 4th? I personally don't think so, but that's only my gut opinion.
