It's also possible that person is posting it up to scare away resellers. Telling all BPer's, I got this, you guys get out of my way.

...and again, you’re the problem

Whenever things are going their way,  some sellers love the free market and competition. It's brought up whenever a customer or Amazon reviewer is ticked off at scalping. But when someone, one of the many sellers whose independent actions make up the free market, acts independently, the same people dislike the free market. If you care one way or another how one seller decides to price his product, maybe you are one of those people who should be internalizing that "if you can't afford to lose it, don't invest it" statement I've seen here recently.

Walmart limit 1 when in stock.  Only thing I've ever seen that on is fingerlings....

So who says that these are plentiful? I think not.

Brits... be quick when restocked at JL as I’m putting 999x in quantity without batting an eyelid and ordering whatever I’m allowed.

Some ebay sellers are now selling it at under $47 a piece shipped. I still manage to sell mine at $48. Got another 8 more to move out before the complete collapse of this thing. Still a bunch on the shelves of some lego stores and TRU in the Greater Vancouver Area.

As with 21110 RI which has reached 3x RRP consistently in the UK, patience will be rewarded. Also...  21312 WoN, is a much better set IMHO.

Why sell at $47 now and still risk returns if you can get $75 or more with unlikely returns after a year or two?

I'm looking forward to hogging the UK aftermarket one day ;-)

[legodelorean]

Looks like I’m holding onto the two I have. I am in no rush to flip these. If I had 50 of them it would probably be a different story. I’m looking forward to seeing where this goes.

From a business perspective, you unload as many as you can for 20% profit minimum, then when the second wave comes, you reload with your profits. If you hang on now, when the second wave comes, what do you do?? Buy more with your own money? You can do that while I use my profits to buy more. So it's basically house money and risk is reduced.

Very old saying but still applies today: "a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush". I sold all of mine now, while there is guaranteed money to be made. It may be a winner down the line, let's hope for a quick retirement.

[ChristopherJB]

$43 shipped on ebay now with best offer.

[squeakdigital00]

Just slanged my last 10 piece on the side with 2 biscuits for 360. Now I'm done like I said before.

[plastic passion]

so its time to let these go now?    mine just came in !!   lol....    do we think they will get back up over $50 on ebay before xmas?

[montreid]

Lots of inventory coming into FBA soon  50+ on multiple sellers in transition from FC

[marcandre]

It's over. This thing is sw advent 2.0, killed by the qfll hoard. It was nice while it lasted. 

[ISO8T0]

Absolutely. Return your WoNs.

[ravenb99]

It only had value from the 40k or so sold during the week leading up to the perfect storm weekend.  The fact they never sold out at the only place you could get at retail shows the true interest of the set.  Any other hot set would sell out in a few days at LEGO stores especially if it had flip value.  Only way it comes back up in value anytime soon is if that was the only pre Xmas run.  

[montreid]

The silver lining is that there won't be a second run like RI on this with it still in stock overseas and elsewhere -- the question is -- how deep is there and if another resupply after the BF

[LegoBro]

Holy mary of ...... 500 plus sellers on Ebay. Has there ever been any other set that sold through 80 percent of that leading up to xmas..?

[montreid]

people also forget -- TRU didn't release ANY stock yet in the US

[anon33]

Will toys r us get any stock in the US? Seems strange they did not release any on the first day in the US...
