cvail8 Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 Only out a few weeks and already a steep discount? Is this typical of Lego product? I'd stay away... This happens with every set. Hell, 9465 Zombies was on sale for $30 in November. Quote

Snowcrash Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 It appears that the entire Chima line is currently on sale at Amazon. It seems strange to me that a brand new product like this is already on sale, but who am I to question their business model. I do think there will be opportunities to get this later in the year for a better price as it was already available last month for a little less, and FWIW I too get the feeling that Chima will perform well in the secondary market.

Almost every Lego set goes on sale at least 20% at some point in its life. You'll have plenty of time to pick up this set. Patience is key. Quote
Darth Lego Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 Discounts and sales give no indication of how a set will do in the secondary market. That's very true. Almost every set has a sale at one point or another. Quote
nolanfan34 Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 These were on sale for about $56 @ Amazon a couple weeks ago. I picked up 1. Just not sure about investing in Chima yet. What I will tell you though is I went to Walmart, TRU and Target today and every place had kids gathered around the Chima stuff. They really seem to like it. The Target I was at a couple of days ago, they had a pretty elaborate mid-aisle display. So some of it I think is seeing the sets out of the box. Not sure if they have staying power though... Quote
pickleboy Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 Command ship = Destiny's Bounty IMO... Quote
derickb81 Posted February 15, 2013 Posted February 15, 2013 Here's the link. amazon has it on sale i don't know if chima is a good theme or not but its the big set Quote
TheOrcKing Posted February 16, 2013 Posted February 16, 2013 It's only 15% off now at $68.25. Not much of a deal on that big of a set in my opinion. Quote
pickleboy Posted February 16, 2013 Posted February 16, 2013 I love this set. I think we are seeing Destiny's Bounty number 2! Quote
TheOrcKing Posted February 17, 2013 Posted February 17, 2013 Oookay, now this set is listed for $64.01 (20% off) on Amazon. This large set is certainly doing a lot of 'flip floping' with it's price listing, isn't it? Quote

comicblast Posted February 17, 2013 Posted February 17, 2013 It's a very busy looking ship, as in it has alot going on and is hard to concentrate on one particular part. Looks good with those teeth though! Not really sure how to react to those wolf people. Quote
TheOrcKing Posted February 27, 2013 Posted February 27, 2013 Oh brother, now it's listed for $63.25 (25% off). That's barely $0.76 from the prior listing. Whoop-dee-freakin-doo! (They might as well rename the set to "Cragger's Flipflopper"!) Quote
TheOrcKing Posted March 7, 2013 Posted March 7, 2013 Ugh, now it's listed for $65.99 (18% off, save $14.00). I'm getting exhausted trying to keep up with this flip flopper! Quote
terrymc4677 Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 shopko currently has this set on clearance (already!? I know, right?) for $57 and change. they also currently have an in store coupon for $10 off a $50 purchase. i hit up the four shopkos in town and found three of these. i only bought two since one had a huge shipping sticker plastered to the front of the box. total after tax came to $50.21/each on these, which equates to a 41% discount after taxes. at that price, i am willing to take a gamble on this set. it is the biggest one in the theme (until the temples come out, but this will still be the largest vehicle i believe), it has 6 pretty cool looking figs, and it's a boat! i actually came across a craigslist ad a couple months ago from a guy selling every chima set used with instructions for $175 (afol/used for display only). i snatched the lot up, but only for my kids to play with. we have this ship, and it is a pretty cool looking set. i am not a huge fan of this theme from an investment potential, but at the right price i will give it a shot. there is another shopko nearby that i plan on hitting up tonight to try and get a few more.

TheOrcKing Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 Well, this big ship is staying well around the $60 range at $62.69. Guess it's not good enough to go for more, eh? Quote
willy431 Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 I ordered one for $62 shipped. My son is super excited about chima. We watched all 3 shows....multiple times. They has a commercial showing that the boat floats and you can use as bath toy.....sold. looks like a great toy......if not a traditional model. Quote
jaisonline Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 I also want one for my son (already have his birthday presents) so this set will be a nice Xmas gift. Maybe I'm being too cheap but I'm holding off for 30% off or a used eBay auction with box, Quote
Quacs Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 I gave my son this for his birthday and he loves it. He also has watched the first three episodes multiple times. Latent popularity, folks... Quote

Huskers1236 Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 A Shopko I was in had this clearanced already, it was 50-some bucks, didn't really pay attention because I'm not interested in Chima, but just a heads up if you have Shopko in your neighborhood. Quote
Quacs Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 I have Comcast. Know if there is a way for my son to watch theses 3 episodes? I have Comcast too, but I DVRed the episodes. At one point, I did see the three episodes listed in the Cartoon Network section of On Demand, but I don't know if it's still there. I would start there if you haven't already. Quote
justgod Posted May 24, 2013 Posted May 24, 2013 I have Comcast. Know if there is a way for my son to watch theses 3 episodes? www.torrentz.com Do a search for Legends of Chima. All three episodes are there. Quote
