Blackjack Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 This theme seemed like a huge flop, (only had one wave) and I was wondering if there is ANY growth potential in ANY of the sets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOrcKing Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 I believe this theme went straight through "Dead Man's Curve", and there's no coming back from that! (Much like the preceding Street Racer sets.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiteboy02 Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Those sets looked kinda stupid! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunkers97 Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Nobody I know wants them so if you want to buy them and then sell them for 99% off then MAYBE you'll get some business!! :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Lego Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Other than the polybags, none of the sets even new get above their retail price. Most of them are selling for $10 to $20 less than their retail price and there is really no market for them anyways. Sorry Blackjack, but this theme is a dud.

I guess polybags have the same simply addictive and collective quality as some other things, like Hot Wheels or baseball cards. They're small, easy to store & build, and make that crumpling noise when you smoosh them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grolim Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 It's a pity, the line could have been made so much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sadowsk1 Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 I think this is a series that may have been popular with kids and soe collectors for the right price, but not really investment material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOrcKing Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 With the word Racers in the name of the theme itself, I guess it's no wonder that it won't ever do well. I mean look at the theme simply titled Racers. That one has been around for a number of years and look at how not well it has performed.

Blackjack Posted March 14, 2013 Author Share Posted March 14, 2013 I doesn't even look like they tried to save the line, they just let it die. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOrcKing Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 I doesn't even look like they tried to save the line, they just let it die. Pretty much. Only four sets released last year and they were small similiar monster trucks. Another group of sets bought for parts basically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
