41999 - 4x4 Crawler Exclusive Edition

[lego89]

For those of you who have purchased multiple sets, are you skipping your VIP cards (and therefore waiving VIP points) to stay on their "good" side?

[Fcbarcelona101]

I used my VIP card for a total of 4, and bought a couple more without it.

LEGO B&M in Edmonton, AB had 3 on the shelf for the first time that I've noticed. I bought one Friday and came back for another one Saturday night. Not 5 minutes after I bought the 2nd one I saw another guy grab the 3rd and last one off the shelf. I might go back today or Monday to see if there is a restock.

do you think these sets are part of a new wave? or is it just leftovers from the last one?

IMO, there are leftovers from the last wave. I think the store put them in the back until Brick Friday, because they know that the 41999 would sell on that day.

But unfortunately, no matter which day they put 41999 up on the shelves, it will always be grabbed by resellers before anyone else.

Very true. That always happened at my local Lego store. All I saw was an empty shelf were the 41999 was supposed to be.

[Mos_Eisley]

There would be no reason to hold them in the back until Brick Friday. They would be no more likely to sell that day than any other.

No idea, these were the first 2 I was able to get my hands on. I have not seen them in the 'wild' before.

[lego89]

just a guess, but maybe LEGO took the damaged ones, re-boxed them and are distributing them for sale...I think they would normally send damaged / customer returns to a liquidator but for a limited production run, they just might re-sell?

Working on finishing up building my crawler! Can't wait to finish it! Looks great!

I'm thinking that too as I saw a couple in double-taped boxes so, I left them alone.  If still there this evening, I may pick one up to build.

Went back today and no more Crawlers, the spot on the shelf is now taken up by discounted (25% off) Unimogs...

Maybe it's a sign you should by a unimog?

[metsrock507]

for some reason the number of ebay listings have spiked by about 25%, im not sure if this means that a new wave came out, or if people are just unloading before the holidays. either way it succeeded in driving the price down by about 40$. 

[IAmElim]

Can anyone confirm that there are more 41999 on the way? If not, all us proud owners will be much relieved.

 

Another question : how much did you pay for your 41999?

I can neither confirm or deny this because we just don't know.  Only Mr.  Lee  Ego that sits in his huge office atop a mountain in Denmark knows the answer.  I paid retail for all mine.

It's listed as retired.

[Guest TabbyBoy]

I paid retail with VIP and VW promo for the 8 that I bought (7 left).  Now that EOL is here and the initial reselling frenzy is over, I'll sit back for a year and hopefully they'll be 3x retail again.

[stephen_rockefeller]

I don't remember it ever hitting 30 retail here in the states. Maybe it was for such a short period I misses it.

The 41999 is listed as retired on LEGO Shop at Home, so there shouldn't be any more shipments on the way. As for how much I paid for a 41999. I have 0 of these sets so I did not have to pay anything.

People are getting cold feet and unloading these for low 300 right now. All mine are just in the basement stuff inside plastic bins. These prices should be short live.

Short lived? its been at that price for at least a month now .. I just think the interest for this item has gone down drastically.

[Sauromosis]

I'm looking to trade a sealed crawler for a sealed Sandcrawler.

If your interest in them is gone too, I
