andyposterfan Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 are these gift promos? the windmill is odd as its retro but uses more modern curved pieces? Quote

marcandre Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 Not investment worthy but still cool. This could mean we will get more anniversary sets. Some 80s space stuff would be phenomenal. 4 Quote
minicoopers11 Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 Weird set numbering convention for walmart exclusives... Quote

zaphoid Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 I really like a lot of the anniversary stuff I've seen, but I think its mostly just a feeling of nostalgia. I imagine tons of these will be snatched up by collectors and re-sellers that the market will be too flooded to make anything on them. 2 Quote
Guest TabbyBoy Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 If only the contents would smell as nice as they did 40 years ago! I couldn't resist a good long sniff once getting past those 45deg perforations. Ya'll remember how it used to be? One if the great smells of my childhood! Quote

The_Collector Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 I really like how these anniversary boxes look and the vintage aspect of them but at $19.99ea...I'm still on the fence. Quote
JimboJet Posted January 26, 2018 Posted January 26, 2018 What's the production run on these? Can't imagine they will sell many at $20 for 44 pieces, but I've been wrong before. I can see these sitting at that price unless they are limited. Quote
Banjodefairmont Posted January 27, 2018 Posted January 27, 2018 With sets like 70607 Ninjago City Chase already selling for $16.00 at Wal Mart with 200+ pieces and FIVE minifigures, these at $19.99 will eventually have to be marked down to $4.99 or lower before they see any movement. Quote
Guest TabbyBoy Posted January 27, 2018 Posted January 27, 2018 It would be nice to know how limited they actually are... 5,000? 50, 000? 500,000? Seeing "Limited Edition" on a box should mean exactly that. I like the stripes showing the 5 original colours (excluding the green baseplate). Quote
minicoopers11 Posted January 29, 2018 Posted January 29, 2018 (edited) Do we know the retail price on these yet? Edit: Oh, I thought the $19.99 was just speculation. Yikes. I'll get one each for collection, but that's it. Edit edit: That was a pretty bad article. The author being just a "contributor" (in Forbes definition, then, not a staff writer) doesn't exactly lend credibility either. That said, I wouldn't be surprised if $19.99 is the correct price...just seems it could possibly be a mistake. Edited January 29, 2018 by minicoopers11 1 Quote
bigfanofnu Posted January 29, 2018 Posted January 29, 2018 (edited) Just trying to connect the dots. but it looks like there are actually 3 sets. IMO still too pricey compared to piece count. Yikes. Edited January 29, 2018 by bigfanofnu 1 Quote

HandyHand Posted January 30, 2018 Posted January 30, 2018 No word yet on availability of these sets in Europe, right? I would pay at most €10 per set. More than that is just ridiculous. Quote

MusiKyle Posted February 5, 2018 Posted February 5, 2018 Placed an order but I accidentally did Ship to Store to the wrong store... my fault... it's 30-mins away so it's close enough but far enough to be a pain. I can cancel the order but would have to wait 48-hour for confirmation (at which point these might be sold out) or I can try and place an order for a different one but it would be seen at my second order and likely get canceled. Guess I just bought myself a peaceful 30-min drive later this week Quote
