Jivepicnic Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 They have showed modulars that are going into retirement. This obviously pairs with Ninjago City. My point was, they want people to see it with the city. I'm not sure which set that is between the two. It is not the Docks though unless they mocked it into a building rather than a dock. Does anyone know which set is between the city and garden?I’m pretty sure it’s the back side of the Docks. I recognize that white building with the wheel for the window. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know, ask Lego as it is their official pics up now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpinemaps Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 I doubt it’s coming back. How many true reissues have we had? Four or five?I’d love for this to come back, just because I missed out. It’s a white whale now. I love this set, but it was my own hubris of “it’ll go on sale” or “I’ll still be able to get this” that kept me from picking any up. But I’m in the once it’s retired it should stay that way camp. Especially for those of us here. So poor me but oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's obviously gotten unprecedented acclaim...and with the new Ninjago Legacy logo, celebrating 10 year anniversary and all that, it could be re-released under this new logo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
$20 on joe vs dan Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Pondering whether to buy Ninjago City and City Docks NISB for $900. Local deal so no shipping or tax. Boxes are in good condition (a dented corner and some wear). I'm leaning NO, since I find myself "chasing" relatively recently retired sets that are likely near their ceiling...also there is the risk of a re-release. I already have a used City and I am definitely looking for a used DOcks as well...but I don't break seals so these would be purely investment for resell later...which gets me thinking of what kind of resell scenario it will be. Let's say these appreciate another 30%...just finding a buyer at that price point is tough and full of risks and forget about Ebay. I guess I've talked myself out of it. thanks for listening 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a lone town hall sitting around for a couple of years after retirement and could not find a reasonably priced used one so I just built it. Anyone selling Lego makes enough to lose out on one sale's profit and happiness can't be bought. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is eBay really so risky for high value sales? I've sold a Green Grocer for the equivalent of over $1000 without incident. Admittedly, that's an n=1 anecdote, but not every buyer on eBay is a scammer.

I have sold quite a few of high value sets on eBay as well over the years and haven’t had an issue yet either. Obviously, every time I do my level of worry is a little higher than for the cheaper sets, but that’s just part of the whole thing. Like you said, I am a super small sample out of the whole universe but more often than not buyers are not scammers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not hard to screen out the scammers if your careful. I have had more on amz than ebay. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get some credit from the retailer then proceed to convince myself that it's going to be hard to sell damaged sets. You can then officially pop the seals and build it. 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dennugsmello Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 City and Docks are crushing. On Ebay City is going for 800+ and docks for 700+. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have a sealed Docks that I bought on Amazon for £137.99 (for personal build - haven't got round to it). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
