Feanor Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 I recieved mine today. I ordered On June 1st and got my shipped-mail today only two hours bofre DHL rang at my door. Most noticeable change to the packaging seems to be a rearrangement of the boxes. Mine arrived in perfect condition, packed onto two boxes, once the tight fitting shipping box, and onthoer with a few air-pockets for extra protection. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume so, I can rearrange them in the way shown in the designer video, but I don't have the exact pre-recall mesurements to compare.

I am completely new to this but i do have a few sets that ai would like to buy and store for 3 to 5 years ( if need be more ) before i sell them.

If you buy it today, you have to wait until it's no longer available for it to start appreciating. I'd be more inclined to buy somethings today that's gonna be leaving sooner rather than later...

I did buy the tumbler and sand crawler and now i will buy a few more star wars ucs . but do you think this could sell with a profit 3-5 years after it retires . Damn but it is so nice i may even buy one for myself and put it on a shelf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomOOO Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 I received my back-order today that was ordered from the UK shop at home on the 1st June. Double boxed with air pillow between the boxes; and looks like the picture posted by Feanor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But to get to all 8 stores takes about a week with New York traffic... Lol. My store in San Diego, which has only one, had some still too. But I'm holding on to the two original ones I bought. Not sure yet if they will appreciate that much that fast... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
