asharerin Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 I would assume he is buying them for $400 - $500 and flipping them for $600. This seems a more likely scenario than sitting on $200k worth but I could be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legoman12323123 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 For anyone concerned about the market for these I sold 6 in one big lot on eBay last night for $2280. It sold in less than 12hrs. Let me guess it was from a guy named markr3682, mozzie1986, 11rcc11 lol. Looks like hes buying up hundreds of crawlers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willy431 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 They are not being sold. They are warehoused, next to his Ferrari. My last email to him a couple days ago was thanking me for sending so many people his way with crawlers for sale--and many were taking $300 plus shipping--but not to give his name out anymore--as he wasn't buying more. Although I mentioned I had just bought 6 more, and he offered to buy my last 10 for $400 each if I covered the shipping....so I guess he still has some dry powder.

joonhee Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Mark bought two from me yesterday. I picked up an additional three more at Hillsdale Mall and Valley Fair Mall, CA yesterday. Hillsdale still had three more after I left 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willy431 Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 These things are everywhere. 2 per customer limit in Peabody. Got 2, wife got 2. One winter set free with each purchase. Didn't want to press my luck asking to split into 2 orders. They had another 6 on shelf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popalzai Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 i spoke to most Lego stores near me some were out of stock on this set and some had few left and they said they are expecting more shipments. is it like Lego might have decided to make more than 20K?

Mos_Eisley Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 No, everyone just assumed the early shipments were all 20,000. I bet the first shipments before the most recent restock weren't even half of the production run. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that was the case (which I doubt), what would Lego put on the licence plates? The original run with EK xxxxx of 20,000 will still be worth a lot more.
