How much do you think it'll sell for during holidays or even after that?

I'm not gonna start speculating until October.
If I have the opportunity to get my hands on one more, I probably would hold it until Xmas and then open it if I still have it.
This was just the first wave. Disney and Lego have a strange relationship, it's not clear who's wearing the pants.
The one thing I am certain about, is that there will be more.
The important question is where can it be bought?
If only from Lego stores and Disney parks, it could go very well.
But if it starts hitting retailers, forget it. Stay away until EOL.

Hi guys. I am debating on selling the set I got the first day the castle came out. I was actually at the Lego Store for the new series of CMF and I was wondering why so many people were standing in line before the store opened! Lol. Needless to say I bought one. Should I post it today to sell, or keep it for myself? I want to build one but do you think a quick flip is wise?

I would look at trend of eBay sales / etc and understand the availability to non-VIPs via LEGO Shop at Home.

Depends on what you paid, if it was $350 plus tax, no. If it was free with VIP points then yes. Lego has stock held back for the general release on 9/1 so prices will drop further before rising prior to Xmas. I would either sell the figs now (look at what they are going for) and build the set or wait until December and sell the set. Either way don't open it.

Was going to purchase one to build, but then saw it at the Lego store and for some reason, as large as it is, it didn't look as "grand" to me.  Was expecting a lot more for the $350 price tag.  Still debating on whether to pick this up or not....

Haven't seen it in person but I'm wondering if the lower, grey section is part of the issue.  Too stark of a difference between the upper half.  Shrinks it's stature perhaps.

From the pictures, I still think they did a great job with it.  But, it's out of my price range.  Also, where do you put it?  Frankly, it misses for me because it's just too pretty if you know what I mean.  And too ubiquitous.

I really want this but the UK SAH freebies have been poor in Aug & Sept. Guess I'll just have to keep stacking up the sets i want until London bus and double points. 

Yeah I know what you mean, the freebie is poor again this month, still can't believe Lego hasn't give us the London Bus, maybe we'll get a Yellow New York Cab next month!!

I did however by it on day one of the VIP event as I was really eager to start building, then watched The Dark Knight and ended up building the tumbler!? Maybe I'll crack it open this weekend instead as my son is chomping at the bit !!!

Couldn't disagree more. Fantabulous build. Lots of cool little Disney references.

wait until they put 75159 side by side for $500. you will feel Disney Castle at $350 is a steal
