Yeah the vintage train market can be very profitable, especially in Germany and Netherlands. I doubled my money within weeks on a €400 lot of MIB vintage train sets a while ago, just by selling them separately. The only reason anyone would buy at €450 is because they haven't looked at the prices on ebay yet. You'd have to be crazy to buy at that price, but good luck.

Pseudoty Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 The ones on ebay seem to be directly from the production line. Employees in the USA have not received theirs yet, awaiting that and the subsequent price drop. It is good to see some of the auctions are ending with no bids. Worth it just for the box IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you buy one you can keep the box and send me the contents. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's all about the box for me. It looks great. It reminds me of the old system sets from when I was a kid. Serious nostalgia buzz.

Sorry but, I just cannot stare at a box all day as I'd rather look at a bigger poster of the set and nothing beats the contents IMHO. If I did buy this (very unlikely), I'd wait for the QFLLs to drop it to under £100. Of course, it'll be for collecting not losing selling. If it's aftermarket is so good, why wouldn't LEGO just release it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minicoopers11 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 (edited) Wait until retail employees in USA get theirs, guys... (to buy, if you got these to sell already, drop them NOW) Edited December 8, 2016 by minicoopers11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KShine Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 I think this set looks great. The employee gift sets are always a bit iffy though (they seem to be a bit too under the radar). Trains theme should be a plus - I will look for the opportunity to buy some (but I wouldn't chase it). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not designed to be a full release, more of a unique collectors item. I'll be waiting to see where the price goes before I'd pull the trigger on it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
