Mark Twain Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 isn't it a plus (for small time re-sellers) that these may not be a good "fit" for FBA? due to the purchase limit of 3, can't hoard readily anyway. Also the boxes are not planned to be branded "LEGO" but Lego is supposed to be a co-brand since they will want to clearly show that all pieces are manufactured and provided by LEgo and are authentic.Possibly. A lot is unclear at the moment. I know it is a limit of 3 sets during the pre order phase but what will that look like during the sale period?

iahawks550 Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 I didn't think there was a sale period, besides now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Twain Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 I didn't think there was a sale period, besides now? From the AFOL FAQWill sets be available for purchase after the pre-order phase?It depends. If a set sells out completely during crowdfunding, it would not be available during the sales period (April 15 through June).Sent from my iPhone using Brickpicker Forum 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in for 2 sets and the extra parts list for expansion! I really like what I like so whatever. Have some fun:) I didn't really buy these for reselling anyway. Maybe that's what will make these super valuable later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

locidm Posted March 23, 2019 Author Share Posted March 23, 2019 Where is details on 2 set comboIt’s not a combo. The expansion which makes up the back part of the castle consists of about 1500 parts. If you purchase a second castle set, you will have about 1000 of those parts. The remaining ~500 parts needed for the expansion will need to be purchased elsewhere like BrickLink. The designer provided a link to the site he plans to upload the instructions to for the expansion set on the comments section of the BL castle page. He also provided link for the parts list of the ~500 parts needed for the expansion set but not included in the castle set. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Twain Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 I'm shocked that none of the sets has sold out in the presale period that ends 4/15. If they are going to make 2500 copies ( or up to 2500 copies?). I'd thought that since this is a world wide program that there would be a lot more interest. Are they aggressively marketing this, or is it the unknowns of the crowd funding model? I love the personal build aspect of many of the MOCs, but the reseller side of me is a skittish horse.

I feel the same way....great out-of-the -gate but the interest faded big time. I think the re-sellers are on the fence until they see the boxes...no reason to over-commit just to save on shipping. I am curious what the "exclusive element" is supposed to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eliminator Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 I think more that a few potential buyers outside of the USA are wary of potential customs/brokerage fees that may come with shipping. Some of these fees can be significant. Personally, I'm holding off placing my order for another week or so. Was hoping more information would have come out by now regarding the boxing and instructions details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These have What I imagine would be a good combo for some value increase. LEGO ,limited: I'm looking at 2500 as nothing number for the amount of future buyers. ( at that number resellers could get them all and set the price that fits)but the advertising will be up to us also. Buy in price not there for BIG profit unless somehow theres a must have situation. But...I like having rare and exclusive promo and trial run toys in my Brickfolio/Showroom. So my peeps look to me for cool stuff. Keep in mind I'm still Way small time not an arm sweeper yet like some of our better bargain hunters here Most of my comments are almost half Questions. Sooo.... ya?

We know these will be limited but I would guess that the following possibilities could sink these as good investments: Lego opts to not have their trademark on the box...or it's super small BL changes mind on quantity produced and makes a lot more or never "retires" a set Final box does not look professional The above items are not supposed to happen...but possible.

It's similar to Bright Bricks who make cathedral sets in the UK as well as being commissioned to make huge models. They're based not far from me.
