My local LL discovery still have these on the shelves for $200.  I am always tempted but since I already own a couple I tend to go for sets that seem to offer more bang for my buck.  Am I nuts to not clear the shelves of these for $200 each?

No.  Would it be the worst buy in the world?  No.  But they aren't taking off like Haunted Houses.  Their gain will be slow over time especially since so many were sold at $99.  With so many buyers getting in on these at half off, there will be many for sale in the low 200s for some time at folks get their 30% gain and move on.  It time this will make somebody that bought at $200 some money, but it will be awhile.  IMO

please read what i typed above your post :)

 

i gave prob the best case scenario if ROI is 40% in both year 1 and 2 using $160 as the starting point instead of $200.

 

Set would be about $315 in Dec 2016.  personally, I think the value will be closer to $275 than $315.

Yeah.  Trying to not let personal taste take over my investment brain.  To me this is one of the coolest sets and I am a big fan of the B-Wing but logically, loading up on Town Hall, Tower of Orthanc, R2, etc probably a much better use of my money.  Thanks for the advice.  Guess I'll let them sit awhile longer at least heh.

i would def pick-up a few if you don't have any.  this set still has many positives to continue overcoming the $99 sale.

 

if you are looking to pay near MSRP, please look at my bricktrader thread.  this way, you might be able to trade me a set you paid far less than what i'm asking for.

I agree. Always wanted this one for display when I started out. It's a unique spacecraft. Has only been 2 weeks I bought them. Fighting the urge to open the box.

When I first started collecting lego I bought it at full MSRP under a year ago, $280cdn taxes in. I only have one for personal though and it's still NISB. Our lego store had it on display and it IS a sexy beast!

UCS B Wing is bigger than mini fig scale, plus has new to this set parts only.

I will probably display mine with the mini fig grey squadron pilot from play-set B Wing version.

 

like most other UCS SW sets, you can do a slight mode to the cockpit chair for the minifig. i did this with my old 10175 Tie Advanced Prototype. However, the cockpit window was too dark to see Vader.
