What makes you think that the supply was higher? What were you initially thinking? Judging by the reaction, I would say the production run was between 3k-5k. That is pretty limited for a Lego set I would say.

I have noted that 5K or less tends to hold its price pretty well (going back to the BHz exclusives)

I'm guessing the yellow box like the soccer players, chariot, colored bricks ect... Run is too small for a real box.

I agree the box will make or break this thing

the only unique element appears to be the sticker for the plaque...no MFs, but the homage to a real piece of history should help...but the box is like 90% of its collectability/Resale; IMO.

Are those boxes "unsealed" with ziplock bag? Can't remember. Actually dont mind that as I can build, display, and re-sell later if needed. Only that the sticker will have been applied to the tile.

I once got to see the shuttle return to Cape Kennedy riding piggyback on the 747.  That was impressive unto itself.  That is also the one LEGO set I'm waiting for.  Even a GWP mini version would be awesome.

I mean, it’s 25 years old already but they did make one

I'm pretty certain every coin was originally supposed to drop on the 1st of the first five months. Likely the only reason the first one dropped in the middle of January was a delay, because past that, they've all dropped on the 1st's. I'm still checking every night, but I would be shocked if the last coin became available any sooner (or later) than May 1st.

This turns out to be the case. First real pictures are showing up on ‘Marktplaats’ (Dutch Ebay 😉). It’s a bit disappointing, but there still seems to be a lot of interest.. 

I’m receiving mine tomorrow. After seeing this pictures my decision to sell is going to be easier.

bummed...the crappy box knocked this item down by $100+ in terms of long term value, IMO

But at least we know they didn't make very many.  This will fall under the Yoda's lightsaber disappointment category.
