c_rpg Posted October 4, 2016 Posted October 4, 2016 Just now, Brian Briggs said: VAT is only 19% in Germany. That's why LEGO sets are roughly 1% more expensive in the Netherlands. Hah 1% You're a funny guy. More like 10%... Good thing you guys let us buy from toysrus.de 1 Quote

Kenxxx Posted October 5, 2016 Posted October 5, 2016 Whoa... I matched the low price on Amazon FBM at $546 a couple weeks ago. It hung out there for a few days - just me and one other seller at the low price - until it finally sold on 9/22/16. Unfortunate that buyer was cross-country so it cost me over $30 to ship, but still pocketed about $60 and some VIP points. Saw more on the shelf at the store a few days ago. Thought, "double VIP... free promo... low price on Amazon is now about $560... let's sell another!" Bought it, listed it, and everyday several new sellers move in, and the price has dropped about $10 a day. Now available at LEGO Shop at Home on-and-off... now about $522 on Amazon... sheesh... the window closes so quickly sometimes. This one is starting to look like the Tumbler... or the 42056 Porsche. No matter. I'm not going any lower. I just have one. If the window doesn't "open again", we'll be happy to build it for Christmas. 1 Quote

donbee Posted October 5, 2016 Posted October 5, 2016 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.Hmmmm... October pretty busy.... If Disney Stores start selling them, no more for me. Quote

donbee Posted October 5, 2016 Posted October 5, 2016 I just don't see why Disney wouldn't want these in their own stores. I don't typically see these large boxes in my Walmarts or Targets. Occasionally in TRU, I just feel like it would fit well in a Disney Store, at a marked up price of course. Quote
rcdb1984 Posted October 5, 2016 Posted October 5, 2016 it is probably contractual. If you havn't noticed there are never LEGO in Disney stores. Quote

rcdb1984 Posted October 6, 2016 Posted October 6, 2016 I wonder if it had anything to do with that theme being so bad. Then again, has anyone seen the toy story sets? Quote

I got my 9493 X-Wing in a Disney store and passed on the 7965 Millennium Falcon at the same time. I can't recall what if any other sets were in that location. This was in a location in a mall. There are some sets on their website at times. 1 Quote
donbee Posted October 7, 2016 Posted October 7, 2016 I sold a used toy story pizza truck for $50. Toy story has done well. Cars, not at all. Quote

terrymc4677 Posted October 10, 2016 Posted October 10, 2016 Disney Castle showing in stock at LEGO Shop at Home. I tried to add to cart but it wouldn't let me. Said to call CS. I called and they were able to submit an order for me. CS rep said reason it won't add to cart is because it is going in and out of stock sporadically. Double VIP + Mini Advent + good xmas flip item = time to buy a few. I'm not pushing my luck by ordering multiples at the same time so I'll try for another tomorrow if it still shows as available. 2 Quote
