anon33 Posted November 4, 2017 Posted November 4, 2017 This thing is a beast... But the wildcard is does Lego have a boatload in reserve? Quote

anon33 Posted November 4, 2017 Posted November 4, 2017 If someone else can confirm,. I had my wife go to Toys R US yesterday evening. There were no NASA sets in stock; however it appears Toy R US US never received any stock. The associates looked up the set by UPC and it did not appear within the TRUS system Nationwide. 2 Quote

I agree, I love this little set and can understand the high demand, hence my big order. LEGO failed with 21110 and 21309. However, I think they'd rather produce less than have too much that they need to offload at -50% at the end. Edited November 4, 2017 by TabbyBoy Quote

Doctor Who was a 1 Dec release 2 years ago and never did anything like this in the US, though it didn't have this kind of mainstream appeal. I'm guessing they underestimated Quote

I'm guessing they underestimated Doctor Who is doing OK in the UK and I'm now making good easy profits on them. Of course, the very low buy-in on these was key, which I don't think we'll see with WoN. Quote

I honestly won't care if this thing is Exo/Birds level after Christmas Quote

Some TLG employee (probably not an AFOL) deciding on production levels will probably look at Doctor Who (a licensed Ideas set that came out before Christmas within the last 2 years) as a comparable set. 3 Quote
cladner Posted November 4, 2017 Posted November 4, 2017 (edited) so far i'm only seeing 35R7 as a seal code and i've looked at a few dozen across multiple retailers including LEGO Shop at Home, amazon.com, target, walmart.com, and bn.com. Edited November 4, 2017 by cladner Quote

Voltron Posted November 4, 2017 Posted November 4, 2017 Once again this set shows the difference between the lego market in UK vs USA My local lego store today had loads. Plenty more in back aswell, hardly any interest from people, staff said set was selling but nowhere near as much interest as Saturn. Unless they have production issues doesnt seem to be a good QF in UK ,as RRP is £20 and selling for £30-£33 shipped on ebay. Quote
ravenb99 Posted November 4, 2017 Posted November 4, 2017 the set has had very little in store interest here as well. It is all investors at this point but makes for a good weekend of sales... Quote
