40223 - Snowglobe

[eliminator]

They're still available but no more Nutcrackers. I grabbed another 5 and going to start unloading these on FBM. Last year I was easily selling these local for $35 cash.

[Shneebs]

In for 5... hoping for imminent sold out now... lol

[marcandre]

This thing will be $20 on ebay and FBM in two weeks. 

[Sfcommando14]

All this means is it won't be GBH. It will still sell FBA for $50 next Christmas, and $60+ the year or two after that. You just paid $10 for it. If you guys have better sets that will be 5x buy-in next Christmas, slide on into my DMs.

i think you are awfully optimistic about $50 next year. thousands of units must have purchased over the last 24 hours .. i hope i am wrong . 

[Sfcommando14]

It was about to crack $60 before it went up on SAH and everyone scrambled to sell yesterday morning. It's a terrific set and there will be holiday demand. It won't start at $50, but it should get there next year no problem.

 

[MrToes16]

I kind of think $50 for this next year would be a little too optimistic. Hopeful, but I don't see it. GBH was a bit of a fluke with the blog spike. Even 40138 Christmas Train is only barely hitting the $50 mark on ebay and I don't think that ever went on sale after the freebie period. With the inventory now available, Snowglobe is going to take awhile to get up there. I think I'll end up bundling it with some clearance baubles and extra nutcrackers next year.

[Deanfjr]

they will make good gifts this year for only $10 a pop... 

& just wait til SAH puts 'em to 7.99 or 4.99 discount to blow 'em out, then you will be crying & i will be buying....

Do not underestimate the Christmas inflation. I see 50 shipped next year. Even with all this extra stock, in the grand scheme of things this is a very limited set with wide and timeless appeal.

Really puzzled by this move by LEGO. Still available, limit 5, on LEGO Shop at Home. Assuming the usual folks went deep on this, that is a lot for what is considered just left-overs from last years promotion and this summer's sudden promo. I've stopped buying more because I don't want to get banned but the ongoing availability after 2+ days is worrisome.

[Pseudoty]

Some of mine arrive tomorrow will be interesting to see if these were a new production run of a "Retired" set.

I just bought 5 to pair off with 5 of the Creator Santa Polybags down the road. However it does seem they might have made another run based on qty.

28S6 on mine so somebody's found a big forgotten stash somewhere. I wonder if Hamley's will put them on the shelf above the London Buses and charge us through the nose for those too? If I saw the Snow Globes selling in the UK for £10, I'd clear the lot, a dead cert £20+ by Xmas 2018.

Thanks for that. I just ordered 5 more. These things make great gifts....and not too shabby as investment or quick flip.

[meganr]

I was pretty happy to see these available. I should have gotten one last year, but decided not to spend the money to get the freebie. It has a lot of cool pieces in it so I ordered 5. I may have a hard time opening all of them for the pieces though knowing that the value will increase.

[eliminator]

Have any of these appeared in store yet? Or will this probably be an online only thing?

[MarleyMoose]

In for 5. Why not?

That's why you order another 5  

[MrToes16]

Any bets this will make it to Dec. 8th for double points and London Bus re-freebie?

[Guest TabbyBoy]

The O2 freebie in the UK ends at 23:59 tonight,

Probably not, given the ability to order 5 at a time. If it lasts that long, I'll buy more.

In the last 24hours, I've sold the 3 of these I had stashed away and will very easily sell the ones on the way. Let the good times roll...I already have a "wait list" of moms ready to pick up their globes!

Has anybody's order actually shipped yet? My tracking number has been stuck on "Label Created" all yesterday and today.

[plastic passion]

Yes, mine are in transit due Dec 5.
