terrymc4677 Posted December 2, 2018 Posted December 2, 2018 Something to consider...60095 Deep Sea Exploration Vessel is very popular and doing quite well. I know...different theme, but it just goes to show that people love ship wrecks. This set might surprise some people. That being said...I have yet to buy any even though I’ve got 20+ 60095. 1 Quote

In the good ole' days, any big and different set you bought would appreciate well after retirement. But the thing was, there really weren't that many "big" sets. Today, we have so many options when discussing larger sets that it impossible for most resellers to stock up on every one. There will be some sets that are ignored, even though they are discussed readily on this site. The Silent Mary might be that set. Talked about, but not hoarded and worth $500.00 next year. Or not...

Val-E Posted December 2, 2018 Posted December 2, 2018 The fact TLG culled it earlier than normal, along with Snowspeeder and a few others, points to low demand. Maybe people will wake up in 3 years thinking they need this - maybe not. Quote

marcandre Posted December 2, 2018 Posted December 2, 2018 Target only has 10 left at $150. Was hoping to grab one with a discounted gift card but looks unlikely now. Backordered at lego, amazon full rrp, wm oos Quote

You better stay away. This shipwreck is only going to get you shipwrecked... WISE WORDS & GREAT ADVICE !!! I'll guess... 1x RRP after fees in year 2 than tanking to 0.8x RRP in year 3? Quote
Guest TabbyBoy Posted December 2, 2018 Posted December 2, 2018 (edited) UK ONLY I'll put my money where my mouth is..... If this sells for >£230 (allowing for fees/box/bubble-wrap/shipping/tax) on eBay UK within 6 months of EOL, I will send a FREE 70618 Destinys Bounty to the first UK BrickPicker that sends me a PM after official EOL and wants to build it, not resell it. It will be new/sealed, but box may have some shelf wear. Why would it matter if you're building it? Edited December 2, 2018 by TabbyBoy Quote

Maybe we could lower the stakes and say if DB sells for RRP after fees within 6 months of EOL, you´ll give away a Silent Mary! Quote

I'll leave that offer for somebody else., perhaps you? Also, how can I give away something that I will never ever have? Quote
stuco191 Posted January 18, 2019 Posted January 18, 2019 Obviously some differing thoughts on EOL value for this set. But if you are looking for personal build there are two left at target.com and then it looks to be all sold out at RRP in USSent from my iPhone using Brickpicker Forum mobile app Quote

Guest TabbyBoy Posted January 18, 2019 Posted January 18, 2019 I think it's more impressive in the box than out! ? Quote

I know...different theme, but it just goes to show that people love ship wrecks. I wonder if people generally are more interested in wrecks of any sort over the perfectly pristine when it comes to building something for play or display. While a flawless let's say pirate ship since here we are makes for a fine display already, the wrecked version conceptually, visually, and constructively is much more intriguing (perhaps not always appealing but altogether intriguing). When wreckage done right what you are seeing not only gives an idea of everything the structure has gone through but also a glimpse as to what it used to be in its heyday before getting smacked around.

Pseudoty Posted May 30, 2020 Posted May 30, 2020 Was just reading through this thread so many expecting this set to be a failure. I only bought a few lowest buy in for me was $139 from amazon 2 years ago. Quote

I only bought a few lowest buy in for me was $139 from amazon 2 years ago. It's increased in the past 3 months. Like every other set I've taken a look at. This set retired a year and a half ago. It's increase is likely attributed to the overall demand for Lego due to the pandemic. People learn about old sets and then purchase. I imagine the price will stick this way for a lot of older sets because of inventory becoming overall less. Quote

Before coronavirus this set had been a failure. Quote
$20 on joe vs dan Posted May 31, 2020 Posted May 31, 2020 (edited) got one of these as a damaged box broken seal from a 3rd part LEGO store, all sealed bags for $169 +Shipping...meant for my personal build but now I am swayed. How much off NISB would a broken sealed, with sealed internal bags be? Edited May 31, 2020 by $20 on joe vs dan Quote
