asharerin Posted October 18, 2013 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
legoman12323123 Posted October 18, 2013 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
willy431 Posted October 18, 2013 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. Quote
joonhee Posted October 18, 2013 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

I wonder if his insurance is up to date! Quote
MartinP Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 That's cuz you live in a galaxy far far away. LOL. I still live in a galaxy far far away, but in that galaxy there is a Lego store. Quote

metsrock507 Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 toysrus.com had it in stock about 5 minutes ago. i ordered 3 then it was gone. Quote
surfnut Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 How do you do a price match with TRU? Match lego.com? Quote
Damnation666 Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 toysrus.com had it in stock about 5 minutes ago. i ordered 3 then it was gone. I thought there was a limit of 2 per person. Quote
metsrock507 Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 I thought there was a limit of 2 per person. it was 1 per person actually. i paid for 1 with my credit card 1 with my debit card and 1 with my paypal account. hopefully they don't cancel my orders! Quote
popalzai Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 i have question if i buy 1 using my vip account from one lego store and go to another lego store and use same vip account would they let me buy the 2nd one as its one per house hold Quote
stephen_rockefeller Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 No store plays by the same rules.......you just have to go and ask. Quote

Sometimes they will allow you to do that and sometimes they don't. Quote
roto22 Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 Showing in stock at TRU.com again. I'm sure it will get cancelled like my ebay order, but I ordered one. Quote
legoman666 Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 Just picked up 2 from the Cincinnati LEGO store yesterday. They had 4-5 more. Quote
exciter1 Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 Showing in stock at TRU.com again. I'm sure it will get cancelled like my ebay order, but I ordered one. I saw where they had it in stock, but I bought 2 yesterday. Quote
joonhee Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 i opened up a 2nd vip card when trying to get additional crawlers. i called lego customer service if they could combine my cards and they did w/o question. points were added to my main account within 10 mins. Quote

Cash out those points before that banhammer drops! Quote
willy431 Posted October 19, 2013 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
popalzai Posted October 19, 2013 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? Quote
Mos_Eisley Posted October 19, 2013 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

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. Quote
kenaijoe Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 3rd Party sellers on Amazon.com have dropped their prices to $399.99 if anyone is interested... Actually make that $387 Quote
