Sorry, it had more to do with the thickness of chocolate on a Snickers bar. Do any of the mods know approx. how many of these we have in all brickfolios compared to WALL•E? I'm hoping this clears £75 after fees by Xmas. Quote
Super Hans Posted January 19, 2018 Posted January 19, 2018 Well the first offer of the year is a maximum of £3 selling fees. Perhaps the days of £1 fees are over. Quote
Lego Benito Posted January 19, 2018 Posted January 19, 2018 This feels like a winner long term as it's got Christmas present for Lego and non-Lego fan all over it. Hope so. Quote
Guest TabbyBoy Posted January 19, 2018 Posted January 19, 2018 One just popped up on Amazon UK for £43.99, it ain't there now ;-) Quote
wotguvnotmeguv Posted August 18, 2018 Posted August 18, 2018 Hasn't exactly flown out of the blocks in retirement, this one, but regularly selling around and upwards of £60 now. Strange that so many are still being listed at under £50 with that in mind. Still predicting good things from it, but may take a while. Quote

Too much supply and not enough demand in the current market. Quote

With a realistic buy in at $50 I think this set looks good. How many more are going to come out at Christmas time is the key unknown but long term this is going to be a $ maker. Quote

Yes there'll always be some demand, but the price has been relatively stagnant since Easter. Any rise in selling price brings new sellers to market. Don't most of us have 2 or 3 of these (or more) to offload? It might make £100 one day, but not anytime soon. Quote
Migration Posted August 18, 2018 Posted August 18, 2018 Y'all are comparing apples to cranberry sauce here, UK market and US market are totally different. 1 Quote
southendsox Posted August 18, 2018 Posted August 18, 2018 Bingo! This set is already a winner in the US. Glad our friends at Wally closed these out a few months ago for $48. A 6 month double is pretty darn good in this biz. I'm betting a much bigger return in 18 months. Quote

I had two, sold both this week for £60 each, with a buy in of £33 each. I'm happy enough with that. Quote

I've not sold any yet as way too busy, but I believe that this will be a £100+ set in a few years. I've still got the job lot from IWOOT when they cleared them out at -50%. At least these aren't taking up space that I need to pay for ? I may even offload them all at RRP one day if the need arises. Quote
Sozial Posted August 19, 2018 Posted August 19, 2018 That set will easily hit 150 Euros next Xmas. This Xmas I predict 119-130 during Xmas shopping. Quote

OrangeChiliPeP Posted August 20, 2018 Posted August 20, 2018 I assume a Rolling Stone set already reached 2xRRP in the same time! Quote

Of course it is only a guess and i said it will easily hit 150 Euros, I think price will be 165-190 Edited August 22, 2018 by Sozial Quote

This is one set that I do NOT regret buying in vast quantities. If the Mars Rover can 6x within a few years, so can this. Quote
KShine Posted August 22, 2018 Posted August 22, 2018 I consider Doctor Who and the Beatles to be golden - but when Tabby agrees with my thoughts, then all things are in doubt. 1 1 Quote
Villager Chris Posted August 22, 2018 Posted August 22, 2018 This set is doing ok, nothing more nothing less. The auction sold prices are still marginally below RRP. When I'm 64 - it might then get to 2 X RRP. 1 Quote

Within the last month I’ve seen it at John Lewis Newbury, Norwich. Also in Hamleys duty free at LHR T5 for £70! I can still offload mine now for an easy £20 profit, but I can wait for £100 profit in 5 years time, no rush. Edited August 22, 2018 by TabbyBoy Quote
