Ciglione Posted December 21, 2014 Posted December 21, 2014 Bought 3 of these today for 60 euro each. Will only buy others if at the same price or below. I believe this set has great potential. The proof is already there. I will sell it as a combo with the 4202 Mining Truck. Quote
exciter1 Posted December 24, 2014 Posted December 24, 2014 I'll have you know, my TRU restocked about 10 of these yesterday when the shelves started getting bare. Quote
Val-E Posted December 24, 2014 Posted December 24, 2014 Yeah, typical hoarders. I wonder when they will run out of MF Quote
Val-E Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 Sold my last one for 140 euros which is a spectacular price for a City set that hasn 2 Quote
biniou Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 (edited) BTW your last set has been sold in spain or in europe ? In France it still can be found for 99 Edited December 28, 2014 by biniou Quote
Val-E Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 I only sell in Spain for now - it might be true that this is one of those sets where local demand differs (like the SC) but it is not normal to sell two sets so much above RRP so quickly so if they can be found for 99 then I would get more. The only one now on sale here costs 167! Quote

biniou Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 I will see if I can buy the two I found for 65 euro. Prices in spain show us what we can expect in the incoming months. I would grab some more at 65 Quote
Alcarin Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 I bought the last one in local toy shop marked 50% off down to 60 1 Quote
Val-E Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 Yup, this one is definitely a goldmine! Now if only Lone Ranger and RI were as popular too. Quote
diablo2112 Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 4204 shows as out of stock now on LEGO Shop at Home. Hit my local TRU and found a bunch; the manager priced-matched a Walmart online ad @ $82/set. Bought 10 at this price. This is among my 5+ multi-set purchases, hope I didn't make a bad mistake. Quote

Val-E Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 You will not regret multiple Mine purchases and I am sure that more than one reseller will be happy to make you an offer if you feel you have too many! Quote

Bought 10 at this price. This is among my 5+ multi-set purchases, hope I didn't make a bad mistake. $82/set is risky. Many were able to obtain it in the $60s and low $70s. Additionally, we'll prob have some sort of refresh by the time the set is totally sold-out everywhere. Quote
Val-E Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 He is right so I will buy them all from you - no issues. I could sell them all day at that price and turn a tidy profit. Maybe in the US things are different but this set has just disappeared here and it is in high demand. Quote

Even City Construction, which is done much more often, has at least four year gaps in refreshes. 1 Quote
jaisonline Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 A refresh on the Mine? I doubt that will be soon. Even City Construction, which is done much more often, has at least four year gaps in refreshes. This nicely designed set debuted in 2012. Some folks forget how long it's been available. All of the other mining sets in this sub theme retired and pretty much sold-out by late 2013. We'll see something somewhat similar 1-2 years (construction-wise) . That's all I meant. I also thought $82 was a higher buy-in price considering many sellers are able to undercut those who paid $80+. Quote

Since sets are cheaper in the US, I might buy at that price if living in Spain. A US buyer purchasing 10 @ $82 each us a hefty # considering other investment options. Quote
jdmpartz Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 (edited) Picked up 2 for $74 each at TRU today. Had to edit that. I have a feeling, the guys building a BIG city, would want a mine somewhere in the geography. Edited February 13, 2015 by jdmpartz Quote
makr Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 Picked up 2 for $74 each at TRU today. Had to edit that. I have a feeling, the guys building a BIG city, would want a mine somewhere in the geography. I was planning to create some rural mining area. But the main issue with that is the lack of space. The set had a nice EOL spike, but has slowed down a bit since then. As long as it remains as unique as it is, it should still have some growth potential though. Still wonder if it will perform better long term than 60022. Quote
marcandre Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 The Cary TRU has a dozen on the shelf at least. The lego section is still half empty from xmas too. Quote
