Feanor Posted July 2, 2016 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

Rodeogeorge Posted July 2, 2016 Posted July 2, 2016 Just saw this in person for the first time and I must admit this set is impressive. 1 Quote

Expand i see lego as a long term investment. 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. Quote

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...

Expand ok so i will buy this later when it is near retiering. 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

Not sure yet if they will appreciate that much that fast... Quote
