It's a form of trolling but they seem to target you. I thought it was Tabby trolling HUKD. I'm sure he does it for fun. Quote
Dr.Dad Posted October 31, 2017 Posted October 31, 2017 Why is the price all of a sudden higher at TRU? $135 instead of $119? Quote

Shewie Posted October 31, 2017 Posted October 31, 2017 (edited) 7th hour and still EU is up and still taking orders with shipping within week. (ofc for those who are not exceeding the total limits) Edited October 31, 2017 by Shewie Quote

Since IDEAS participants can design gems like this, why can’t LEGO instead of resurrecting old sets with no added features or updates? As you can see, I’m into buying again, but only as many 21309 that I can get my hands on. I don’t see the point in buying any other set for profit. This is a dead cert for 2x within months. well. if you have that KIND OF ISSUES with purchasing more than 3 items at the time.. why dont you follow my previous sniplets.. as to the local factory employee who are "willing to sell their kidney for a price.." - in this case WHATEVER you want.. they can get for 50 per cent in the factory store + their margin.. look up the ads at sites such as deti.bazos.cz or www.sbazar.cz Quote
mizeur Posted October 31, 2017 Posted October 31, 2017 They're apparently willing to sell their kidneys for the same price as resellers on ebay. Some deal. Quote
Val-E Posted October 31, 2017 Posted October 31, 2017 I would have expected this to sell out again considering today is the only day you can get 3 freebies from EU SAH by combining this with a Juniors set. Tomorrow we get Women of Nasa so people will want to combine both I guess. If it is still available to backorder, we can imagine the next production run will be a big one. Quote

It would’ve sold out if previous buyers didn’t have their orders cancelled, it ain’t “rocket” science ;-) Quote

I honestly thought that Smyths and TRU would have them by now. JL has Fishing Store too. Very also had them in stock for a couple of days, managed to get 3 with 20% off so £88 each. Unfortunately that was 20th July and they haven’t had any more yet. Quote

Since this is a lot of set for only £109.99 and LEGO probably have to pay NASA for licensing, this may not make them enough money for long term production and they could can it. Just my 2p worth. BTW... What is Very’s LEGO packaging like? I ask as I’ve had other stuff from them in bin liners where box doesn’t matter. Edited October 31, 2017 by TabbyBoy Quote

They normally box up lego sets (single walled), but these were in bin liners - didn’t mind so much as these were for parting out. Quote

I expect that set to last at least 12 months and the rocket won´t be far behind. Quote

Mos_Eisley Posted October 31, 2017 Posted October 31, 2017 There are no licensing fees to use the NASA logo. https://www.nasa.gov/audience/formedia/features/Merchandising_Guidelines.html 1 Quote

Guest TabbyBoy Posted October 31, 2017 Posted October 31, 2017 With such unprecented demand, how can this possibly fail? If it does, LEGO investing is over for all of us! Quote

That goes for every set which means that they'll no longer be rare and supply > demand. I sense a little doubt in your typing about this set. You're not thinking that it came out of a dog's arse, are you? ;-) I think it's impossible for "Mr Average" to get anywhere close to 15 let alone 99 due to SaH and JL restrictions. I'm just lucky that I know a few JL retirees who are willing to help me out. If LEGO ever relax the limit to 99 like the old days, I will be ordering 99 in a heartbeat. I'll never forget the day when those 99 Fire Brigades arrived! Quote
