ponderingzissou Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Parts appear in Bricks And Pieces BUT blank tiles appear... printed tiles aren't listed there. Seeing blank yellow, blue, br.yel green tiles. Would have really liked to have had more printed tiles but guessing they are stickers. Thanks for the pics from different angles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sprocket77 Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Brickset have done a review of this and shown that it's actually a polybag, such a let down. Would have been worth so much more in a nice box. I know there's a lot of small pieces, but surprises they'd put an over 200 piece set in a bag.

MrToes16 Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 The stickers are a turn off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the old world, when lego was viewed as being special/precious, this would have had some absolute potential. Unfortunately, in the new world - it's likely to be viewed as just another plastic toy, in a bag, with a bunch of tiny plastic pieces, and stickers.

Guest TabbyBoy Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 At least the polybag saves anal buyers whinging about box condition. Stickers are the bane of my LEGO life, we all hate them, why do it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanfjr Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 (edited) when they hit in the masses on eBay and people price cut each other, I will buy one for myself. otherwise I am waiting for the x2 VIP 'til Nov for the Nutcrackers...

cladner Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 (edited) looks cool but the manager guy needs a big hammer for banning all those nasty QFLL for completeness. Edited October 8, 2017 by cladner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pseudoty Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Is this the highest buy in at $125 for a GWP? I can't recall anything even being $100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jay4e Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 i would have to imagine the customers were extremely high when buying in at that price though its partly subjective as to being "the highest". i have sold the new opening store set for 150+ and this is similar. once it hits general availability though this price will drop substantially. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redghostx Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Is this the highest buy in at $125 for a GWP? I can't recall anything even being $100. I think that the Lego Canvas bag had a higher entry point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyposterfan Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 It doesn't seem to expensive on eBay at present and it's not even in true supply freeflow yet if you can pick it up for $50 now on eBay that price will fall later this week and the week after drastically.

I would agree with this strategy for myself, but I'm worried that the two winter vignette sets won't make it until then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eliminator Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 (edited) This one is kinda meh for me. I will grab one for the personal collection, but not going to bother getting multiples for investment.

Guest TabbyBoy Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 The 2 best sets are out of stock so I’ll not bother. eBay will be flooded by the time it’s delivered anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sprocket77 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Just now, TabbyBoy said: eBay will be flooded by the time it’s delivered anyway. Don't think so, the buy in is too high on this one. If this was the standard €55/€60 buy in, then I'd put loads of small orders in and end up with a good few of them. Now, unless the Apollo comes back into set, I'm not likely to buy anything.
