stephen_rockefeller Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 With huge sets like the sand crawler and SSD I can see the logic in waiting for the last possible minute to stock up because of the size of the sets and the space they take up but I don't see any reason not to stock up early on these smaller cuusoo sets, they don't take up to much room. 2 Quote
@rtisan Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 @rtisan,you and your logic... Scary, ain`t it? haha If it`s any consolation I did order 3 and will get 2 more once I get the confirmation, for another Balloon cart. Look at that, don`t even take my own advice Quote

The freebie Balloon Cart will be a nice flip on eBay... Will this one ever be discounted would be a reason to wait... Quote
@rtisan Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 Well, thing is if it ends up like Minecraft, it just seems like a waste. I can`t see the demand for it being anywhere near the former, but still, 2 year release would suck if looking for profits. Could be flippable during Xmas though, or if/when OOS, but it`s not going away any time soon. Look what Lego has done with the Delorean, you can find that set everywhere now. 2 Quote

jaylay Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 Just ordered 5 ... Used $60 in points to make this a sweet buy!!! It's great to have a large cache of VIP dollars on hand!!! Quote
wesman888 Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 Doubtful.....it's an exclusive. I don't believe this is exclusive to TLG... Quote
Baker92A6 Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 Just placed two separate orders off the Lego store, I can justify the Quote
smittypop2 Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 It is in stock at Amazon right now. Limit 2. Quote
holleman67 Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 I bought two just in case it ends up like the rover being oos. I usually don't buy new stuff unless I can flip it. Don't want to get caught with my pants down Quote

Don't want to get caught with my pants down This set will be a huge hit and sell well from now until Christmas. It's just a matter of did LG accurately estimate the demand and produce enough.

smittypop2 Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 Target also has it online. You can get 8 per order as is standard with Target. Quote
exciter1 Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 As hard as it is to resist, I think I'll wait for this thing to hit the $40 price point. 20% off sounds about right. 4 Quote
stephen_rockefeller Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 I'm confused then.....it's labeled exclusive on S@H. Quote
No More Monkeys Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 I'm confused then.....it's labeled exclusive on LEGO Shop at Home. Lots of other sets marked "exclusive", and available everywhere. Does not mean jack, aparently. Or the meaning is too subtle Quote
Darth_Raichu Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 I'm confused then.....it's labeled exclusive on LEGO Shop at Home. You put too much trust in S @ H labeling system. The sets are only exclusive until you see them at other retail websites :D Quote
labfreak7 Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 Selling like hot cakes at my lego store, but the clerk kept bringing out armfuls of them Quote
Quacs Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 I would guess "exclusive" refers the fact it isn't stocked in non-Lego Store B&M stores. Similar to other exclusives (modulars, etc.), they are offered through online retailers but you can't find them on the shelves at TRU, Target, etc. (except for the occasional on-line purchase return). That's not to say they couldn't roll it out through B&M retailers in the future... Sent from my iPhone using Brickpicker Quote
Jeff Mack Posted June 1, 2014 Author Posted June 1, 2014 Link to Ecto-1 on Target Link to Ecto-1 on Amazon Link to Ecto-1 on Shop at Lego Quote
asharerin Posted June 1, 2014 Posted June 1, 2014 Nice set but I will buy mine when Amazon blows them out for $30 each. Quote
