MusiKyle Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 My wife was building the Upside Down and I noticed this trans black 1x4 antenna had a perfectly suspended bubble in it. I can't stop looking at it from different angles. I feel like John Hammond in Jurassic Park staring at his amber-preserved mosquito. 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just always assumed so because I didn’t think it would make sense for them to get the license to make 1 set, and there are characters missing from the one they made. But the 3rd season just came out, which would have been a great time to announce something, and 2 years ago it was thought there would be several POTC sets for the new movie and ended up being the Mary and 2 BH. LEGO store manager told me a while ago that the "large set coming out" (ended up being the Upside Down set) was the beginning of a new series. The series hadn't been defined yet, but there was going to be more sets tied to it. I suspect they were testing the waters with the first set to measure demand / interest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaisonline Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 I finally had a chance to build the Upside Down set. Pretty cool build despite the repetitive steps. Looks great. My kids like it. Only problem (at least with my set) is the clutch power of both houses. No matter which house is on the bottom, it separates from the floor base. after fixing it twice, I’m done. The pic below is the last pic before I disassemble it. Time to put away the set. Frustrating. Has anyone else had the same problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frustrating. Has anyone else had the same problem? My wife and I got this set and after the build I noticed the house looked like it was about to fall apart. We ruled out the trees on the sides, and we ruled out how the baseplates on the bottom of the houses were connected together. That left us with just the builds of the houses themselves. Ultimately (in our case), the root cause was us not being very careful in where the porch posts connected to the awning of the roof. I don't know the proper terminology but the 1x2 modified plate could press up into the awning in half-steps, either in a space (shown in red) or that tiny peg (shown in green) and after getting those placed properly the rest of the house, the foundation, everything finally pressed together. Prior to that, some posts were slanted, we noticed slight spacing between the bricks of the walls, it looked like it was going to fall apart.

On the 2nd rebuild, I even left the pillars off. Didn’t matter. my issue isn’t with the roof but 90% of the N x 1 bricks that connect to plate elements that make up the group.

DadsAFOL Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Mine has been rock solid. I've done the one-hand-flip to show to people and it doesn't move at all. LEGO is very interested in quality feedback, so if you have a few minutes ring up the customer service line and explain the issues. They log everything, and would appreciate it. They may throw you some swag or points for your trouble, but more importantly if multiple people report the same issue, they will look into the design or production run. If you have the box seal codes or the parts bag codes, those would be helpful to Lego as well. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaisonline Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 i think if both trees were connected to each side of the house, that would might add extra stability to keep the house in-place when upside down. Not sure. i did leave Lego feedback via customer support. They asked for the tape seal code. (29r6). Since I’m within my 30 days , I’ll just return it to amazon, it's a nice set.

LegoC777 Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 What does everyone think investment wise for this set upside down 75810? Does anyone think this set could reach $450+ in a few years? I have read that Lego might make more stranger things sets in the future which possibly means this set may not grow in value as much (They already have stranger things brickheadz set coming soon). Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thoughts? I think making more Stranger Things sets is good for this one because there are always people coming into LEGO for the first time or coming back to it after years, and when they see the new sets, they'll pick those up. Eventually, they think, "Hmm, have there ever been any other sets like these?" BAM. They search on Amazon, Ebay, etc. and find this one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't the Brickheadz come out start of Feb actually yeah it did come out at the start of Feb. As for more sets harming upside down value , I guess I was comparing it to sets like Voltron or old fishing store. Those two sets , will probably never get another set from those series making them a bit more "unique" in a sense. But maybe upside down would be okay in value if there are more sets from that series. dunno.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the reason Voltron is doing decent is that it's a very popular IP (generations of fans) and pretty awesome in its own right. Old Fishing Store hits a special spot for fans of fishing (universal appeal), buildings, and LEGO The Upside Down set is unique but ask the casual LEGO fan about it and they most likely have no clue what it's supposed to be. This set NEEDS more sets rom the show to keep it relevant. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goblin Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 I can see 75810 Upside Down reaching £500 within 18 months. Anyone disagree? It's liquid on ebay and stock is becoming thinner, without a full Xmas under its belt yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bricklectic Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 I see $1k eventually (2-3 years). not hoarded. super unique set. very in demand excellent sales rank. I sold 6 on amazon within a day or 2 at 460, as you pointed out without even a q4 in the bag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keymomachine Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Demand was obviously driven by the most recent season coming out and being well liked. I imagine there are a lot out there that just haven't hit the market yet, which will likely cause a price plateau or even a drop through the holiday season. I only own one copy of this set and it has popped seals (thanks Target) so I'm happy to see I'll be able to get my money out of it for sure.
