Cheese Posted June 28, 2017 Author Share Posted June 28, 2017 Hulkbuster This one has slowly increased in recent months. Now about £45 on eBay. Could've picked these up for £17 during 3 for 2 sales. Despite being a great set with some great minifigures I only got three myself since I was concerned about it being superheroes. Well done to those that loaded up.

Val-E Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Hmmm, according to BP data contrasted with current Bricklink sales, Hulk Buster is trading at around RRP, 7 months post retirement. That makes it a success if it was bought at half price. Not bad compared with many 2016 retirements, but Mystery Machine or Starlight Taverb would have been much better buys for the same money. https://www.brickpicker.com/bpms/set.cfm?set=76031-1 Do you know of any other recent SH sets (with less than 4 thread pages before retirement) are doing well? My gripe about DSSS is that every man and their dog bought into it, whereas a few less well know sets may have gone under the radar a little and are now doing better.

jeff_14 Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Never understood the superhero hatred on here. They do great for me. I already sold my Dr Strange sets for twice retail on Amazon Canada. If people dont want theirs PM me. They're gold Jerry gold! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SH is one of the themes that gives varied results depending on the market. In Europe there are better themes to purchase but a few sets can do well.

Malibu Mansion, Doc Ock Truck, Captain America vs Hydra, Gorilla Grodd, XMen vs Sentinel and Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 1 in particular (especially since Vol 2 movie came out). If bought even at a reasonable discount, would be giving a decent return. SH buyers are mainly parents of under 8s. When some of these kids grow up and have dispensable income, will they desire these sets more as nostalgia trophies? Quite possibly yes. Anyone got a Delorean?

The winners are easy to pick, easy to find at discount in volume and move in volume. But if it keeps people away from the sure fire winners. So be it.

Guest TabbyBoy Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Just look on eBay, this set is tanking big time. I only paid £14 each for mine and struggled to get £10 for them locally! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My credit card jumped out of my wallet and flipped me the middle finger. Whelp...I guess that means I'm calling it quits for the season. See you all for the after Christmas sales lol! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought there was a chance of them being next Ant Man set but they took longer than Felipe Massa to retire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aviador87 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 For $20, buy it or leave it? Sent from my SM-G950U using Brickpicker Forum mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrymc4677 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Many bought at $15 over the past few weeks, and every Target seemed to have a pile of them. At $20 I'd leave it, unless it's for a long hold or personal use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
