It’s still for sale in some areas. 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.

Is that 100 pounds in five years due to hyperinflation in the UK? Nice hatch

Not a great performer in 2019.

Will be interesting to see if it improves this year.

Might be a long hold.

Sure it'll be a winner long term as it's a great set and has a good licence!

I've been happy with it's performance.

Me too. I sold several over xmas for $115. Average buy in was $55. It's not Wall-e but decent enough.

I flipped all mine shortly after they disappeared after retirement and did fairly well.

Time to sell the 3 copies I bought once upon a time.  I just need to dig through my stacks of boxes to find them

Sounds like it might be doing better in the US than the UK!

Sellling for 2x VIP with an easy Tesco direct buy in of 35% off, not bad considering no Beatle has died or anything has happened to spike interest.  I´ll take YSB over Caterham or Adventure Time any day of the week.

This XMAS is the time to sell! If we are lucky 199€ is possible.

120? It's 70 here. I don't see a jump from 70 to 199.

In The Netherlands people are offering €90 for it, while many sellers are asking €100 for it. So that's about the going rate.

Compared to WALL-E which is going for €120 by now, I don't see YSM reaching €200 for several years, if ever.

As I mentioned before, since values are all about hype, I can think of 2 things that would easily take it to 200 euros.

YSM shouldn't be one of them.
