lebrick Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 (edited) It looks like the SH Bricktober won't be available on the first week of March. Apparently, it will be offered as a GWP starting March 8th. I am contemplating whether to get it now or wait till 8th but I am pretty sure after I post this, I will just probably go back to my other tab and click "Submit." I know I am a sucker for pretty much all the "Exclusive" Lego GWPs so I do like and want this Keydingle but it is still a very underwhelming GWP to go with what is truly a masterpiece set. I guess it is better than whatever that came with the Aston Martin set. Edited March 1, 2019 by lebrick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
$20 on joe vs dan Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 did everybody else buy 2? The Bricktober set possibly starting on MArch 8th suggests a strategy of hedging: 1 now and 1 later...but we all know if the 'tang sells out before the 8th it's easily 1.5-2x RRP on Ebay...considering the early bird premium has been $250+shipping recently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lebrick Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 (edited) I thought about buying 2 just in case the stock might run out but I have a strange feeling that LEGO will be prepared this time. But at the same time, this set selling out early online would create an additional hype and even possibly drive more people to go to a Lego store. I bought one not because I was worried about the set selling out but more because I was worried that the keychain would run out... which probably won't but I know I am a sucker... and probably won't even use the keychain... I don't even drive... derp... Edited March 1, 2019 by lebrick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Jedi Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 The keychain is showing up on my shopping bag page now. Think I'm going to gamble and wait for the SH 4-pack on March 8th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just ordered one with the keyring as it didn't appear in my basket early this morning. If signs are good, I'll order another once the first has shipped (only if it comes with a keyring) and then maybe buy a lot more once discounted and closer to EOL.

CosmicSpeed Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 (edited) Got in store. Keychain and Unikitty. I was second to get it after opening and then 2 more people came in. Get them now if you want the keychain, imo. Also, random. The Concord Mills Store has a Joker Manor, one Snowspeeder UCS on sale, a bunch of RRP Slave I, had a BB and DO sent and they sold immediately. This store gets lots of random stock because its a larger footprint.

Xactly...these "fools" may have buyers lined up williing to pay 2 or 3x RRP...a rich guy (not to be bothered w/ shopping around) who is a fan of classic cars... may think getting this for under a grand is cheap...heck a caddy at a country club could probably move these by the pallet full at well over 3xRRP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TabbyBoy Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Perhaps this is for UK only... Selling during "the window" is a dangerous game. An eBay business seller will HAVE to accept a return whether they want to or not (losing initial postage, risking box damage, or worse!) when the buyer realises that they're being scalped and buy from SaH instead. A private seller (who doesn't HAVE to accept returns under UK law), may have to deal with a SNAD as a lot of buyers will trying anything to return a set if they can get it for >£50 less from SaH. Early doors aren't for me as there's too many sneaky buyers out there these days. We know who eBay will side with, don't we? It's all well and good saying that the rich can't be bothered to shop around, but they're a rare beast in the UK. Oh... I've not met a single person at the 19th hole that's remotely interested in Lego. I'll build the Mustang that I just ordered and I have until Hell freezes over to see what discounts and EOL rumours are like nearer the time. I'm a big fan of the Mustang and have no intention of selling the keyring. 1 hour ago, neeon82 said: I checked at 8am and it was still showing 'coming soon'. I have ordered one with the keyring.

They'll likely have the hassle of processing a return and then risk getting a bashed box back - LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've met plenty of well to do...who are crazy about their car hobbies...pretty much all the male VPs and and high up supervisors are into cars...I have not met one who didn't at least have a project going on...or at a wish list. AND that's the special part of this set...it's an iconic car model done really really well and there's no other like it...teh draw for car enthusiast (who may never even heard of LEgo) would still be high because even the box art is apealing to the casual car buff. In contrast most speed champions look like toys and past LEgo expert and creator offering were (in the US at least) more a niche than mainstream.

dmind Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 Keychain seems already gone at LEGO Shop at Home EU, Mustang in backorder for March 12th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exracer327 Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 The LEGO store I was at yesterday had what looked like about 40-50 keychains and at least a 100 bumper stickers (they opened the package for mine). The keychain is heavier than I expected. It's definitely not cheep but a quality piece. I'm a road racer at heart, hence my tag name, so my Mustang received full spoilers and zoomies but no supercharger or rear lift. I considered modifying the hood to make it cowl induction but decided to keep the stock hood scoop for now. As a testimony to how wide-spread I think appeal will be for this set; my wife told me this morning, "I'll need to move some candles to make room to display your car." lol... well done LEGO. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
