Sorry...No 9 minutes ago, Lego land said: Could you expound on your statement, do you mean the Lego Star Wars Theme or this particular set is not a good investment? (I'm a newbie) The STAR WARS theme has a few sets that do well occasionally. Overall, it's one of the worst themes to invest your money in. What was once the "Gold Standard" of LEGO investing has turned into a wretched wasteland of sets, especially the Ultimate Collector Series. I love the sets, but they are constantly remade and until Disney is out of the picture, this theme stinks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 10030 got me into the UCS series with regards to the LEGO investment/reselling business....the 75252 will get me out of it... So I guess it's safe to say that you've given up on the "This new one will only make collectors want the original one even more" theory.

LegoMan1212 Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 This is so unbelievably over-priced I hope the sales on opening day fall flat as can be. 60% (estimating) less pieces than the MF and only $100 less. Da F are they thinking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Da F are they thinking I am pretty sure this one is based on weight. The Falcon is nearly a kilo heavier. If I did the math right (which means I probably didn't) it appears that the Falcon is about $115.94 per kilo and the ISD is $116.66 per kilo. And this set will sell a lot.

exracer327 Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 I like the set, especially the guns. But why is the micro tie fighter all black? I can see having black wings, but the body should be gray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kos999 Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Overpriced, all grey, not prety like 10221, its an old design in a new era. After this re-issue , i stoped invest in Lego. Just some Buildings, until they kill also this series 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneknightr Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Definitely getting one. It''ll replace my 10030. Will hope for a Disneystore.com glitch for 40% off. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, if it seems like I was picking - Remember, I am the idiot still trying to earn a living selling this crap. LOL...I don't get offended by this stuff anymore. Markets change. Honestly, the LEGO secondary market is still quite strong with regards to other "lesser" themes. If you are an Amazon seller and have the system and manpower to flip these types of sets, the market is still a good one. Buying up these large sets and waiting for them to appreciate to $3000.00 is a waste of time right now. Until Disney gets out of the STAR WARS business, there will always be more and more remakes.

bricker123 Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Just amazed that out of all things they can include to the description like the turrets, they decided to make sure you know that the two officers will have blaster pistol also. Also comes with 2 blaster pistol weapons. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elmaslıefendi Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Stop using ppp. Weight is far more important. If you think the Falcon was priced fair and this set isn't... that's wrong. Both are a fair value if you think the Falcon was priced right at 800 bucks. That being said: I think BOTH are WAY overpriced. It's plastic, not gold. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crayxlp Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 plus.. none of us know if and how many new "ecological" (from plants) bricks were used throughout the set, which could further increase its value. I guess that not much otherwise it would be some really great PR point to mention in the release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
