There has only been 2 ucs x wings for past 15 years. Red 5 will easily double in price before next ucs version pops up, and even then, the new x wing will be episode 7 version. I am going to stay far far away from new MF UCS. Every mother, son and their dog know about the superb value of 10179. How many people will be buying a couple of new ucs MF for investment? all depends of many factor it can do very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just saw some selling up to 425US (thats 600$ here, and i have paid 180$ for it) but still waiting, couple of years mostly will be worth gold by then, this sets, and now the tumblers, are gold. The short live are the main raison, but not the only one. 70810 was underestimated, but it's an awsome set, it's huge compare to other pirate ship, i've had many of these and 70810 is very impressive. Different style, unique. but sure was underestimated by the hord. Well see, but i think it will perform very very very well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steveviscious89 Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 I don't get how this was missed unless....... Perhaps serious collectors ignored it in favor other models. The Lego Movie itself appealed to kids and families, most of which probably don't spend that much on Lego sets because I constantly hear them complain about how expensive they are. This model would not have been in their sights at all. But for me, as a collector, I could tell this would be a good one just based on what it was.....a really big steampunk pirate ship. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad to see Sea Cow off to a good start, though I didn't buy any. I'm quite happy to have my money in R5 and Tumblers instead. The demand will stay high for those sets in the coming months and years. what is R5? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am fairly new to the investing part of legos. You can never have enough of sets on hand. When i started..it was 1 to build the other to keep for a rainy day. it quickly turned into none being built...and 10 boxed/sealed sets of each one I have; vacuum sealed with a moisture pouch inside it.

The price increase in uk also more like 50-60%.

Val-E Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 (edited) You probaby want to select only new items and either EU only or worldwide in the filter as default misses certain elements out. http://www.ebay.fr/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_sacat=0&LH_Sold=1&_udlo&_udhi&_samilow&_samihi&_sop=12&_dmd=1&_ipg=50&LH_Complete=1&rmvSB=true&_nkw=lego%20sea%20cow&LH_PrefLoc=3&rt=nc&LH_ItemCondition=3&_trksid=p2045573.m1684 Now we can see that real sales by Europe sellers in Euros or GBP are much reduced (less than 1 per day) and the average price is 15%-20% euros up on RRP so after commissions there is no net profit. Only people who bought low or like working for nothing are selling now - in 6-12 months we will see how hoarded this set really is when it is able to turn more people a profit. I filter out non € sales as they falsify data because there is a foreign exchange rate applied. If we do a worldwide search, we can see that sales are much higher due to more US transactions but those figures don´t interest me either as it´s not my market.

How do you conclude that? On eBay uk these things typically sell for 260 pounds plus postage to 290 plus postage. Uk rap was 169.99, so that's typically a 50-70% increase. Yes sales are slow, but this set doesn't appear to be hoarded in anyway at all Edited January 14, 2016 by Pjking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val-E Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Where did I say they weren´t? I filter out non Euro currency sales because I work in Euros. If I included sales in GBP, USD or whatever else, then I would have to take into account a daily currency exchange rate applied by ebay which distorts real values. I agree with you that the strong sales are coming from non Eurozone sellers - for now. Logical in part as it retired sooner in the US and the theme seems a little less toxic there. Until this set becomes impossible to find in retialers (and we are some way from that here), it won´t appreciate as fast here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
