Darth_Raichu Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 (edited) The imperial shuttle has doubled in price. Some people need to get their expectations in check and join us in the real world. Was that double discounted price or MSRP ? Coincidentally, we do not have BP entry for 10212 Edited January 21, 2015 by Darth_Raichu Quote

hannibal Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 almost tripled at the prices i got my stock for. this was before the lego iron grip on exclusives... Well, what If I tell you that I was passing by and I saw a lorry full of Imperial Shuttles making a delivery for Lego LEGO Shop at Home. It happened that they left behind a pallet and I snatched the boxes for free. You can't beat that can you? So in my books the Shuttle would be the best selling set ever with the best ever return, but that would be irrelevant to you. No? Quote
stephen_rockefeller Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 I though msrp was 219.00 but brickset says 259.00 which sounds off. 1 Quote
exciter1 Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 I though msrp was 219.00 but brickset says 259.00 which sounds off. $259.99 was/is correct. Quote
Darth_Raichu Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 $259.99 was/is correct. It was on Amz, TRU, etc for around $210 forevah before it retired Quote
gregpj Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 I though msrp was 219.00 but brickset says 259.00 which sounds off. Canadian MSRP was $299 which is where some of the hurt comes from. Quote
stephen_rockefeller Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 I'm an idiot sorry guys however my comment on expectations still stands. Quote
exciter1 Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 It was on Amz, TRU, etc for around $210 forevah before it retired Yep, consistently 20% off. Quote
Follows Closely Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 It seems there is no shortage of them available in the secondary market (Ed's top set list confirms it was well hoarded). Despite there being some truth to joining you in the real world, I just have to agree with hannibal. The IS is just so incredible when built that I think the gains haven't kept pace with my expectations. I'm currently building the Sandcrawler and it looks so darn small and plain compared to the IS. I've been looking at the BWing's box in my storage area and it too looks so darn plain (not to mention the box is 100% fugly). Despite it being UCS and despite it being Star Wars, I have zero interest in keeping a BWing for my personal collection. It is a great build and it displays great. I don't get the hate for this set. I love it. almost tripled at the prices i got my stock for. this was before the lego iron grip on exclusives... Yep, consistently 20% off. Yep, the IS was discounted for a long time. $205 was my average buy in. Back to the B-Wing. I have only 5 left that I am holding onto long term. The ship is unique and those completest will want one.

Zurno Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 Not sure how relevant this info is, but I am seeing two 10227 boxes on the top shelf at Legoland Discovery Center - Chicago Quote
teohwp85 Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 (edited) Not sure how relevant this info is, but I am seeing two 10227 boxes on the top shelf at Legoland Discovery Center - Chicago They've been sitting there for a while. Edited January 22, 2015 by teohwp85 Quote
sroster Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 Yes, I pass them up every time I go. The entire store got bought out over Christmas but amazingly those B-Wings are still sitting there. Quote
vexxet Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 When I was in Japan, I saw the B wing UCS everywhere. Japanese lego fans wanted nothing to do with it.... lol Quote
Zurno Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 lol, funny. I wish my work travels would take me near some more Legoland stores, they seem to have interesting items at times. Love their polybag rack that seemed to have a lot of the 2015 sets in it. Even had a Duplo polybag. this set just caught my eye since I thought it had been retired. Quote
stephen_rockefeller Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 It's most definitely retired. Doesn't mean there aren't a few scragglers out there. Quote
Vinetu Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 (edited) Hey guys (& gals), sorry for bumping the old thread, but I need your advice: I found few of these "scragglers" at 223 euros so I was wondering if you thought it was worth it. I am a SW collector, so my bias is very prominent here, that's why I make a call for opinions. I never liked this set as a collector, I was very much like these Japanese Lego fans, passing it up when it was around 169€, but now I'm trying to see things from investor perspective...So worth it or let it collect dust like before? Reasonable time frame in mind for that kind of set, say 6-12 months?Thanks! Edited April 21, 2015 by Vinetu Quote
zskid00 Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 This one has experienced very slow growth back to MSRP and now just above it, but I don't think it has a lot of long-term potential. I would expect it to continue to be a very slow gainer and put your money elsewhere. Quote
Val-E Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 Low growth potential at above RRP. If it´s still on shelves there´s a reason for it. Quote
