7956 - Ewok Attack

[Marker]

Ewok attack time to buy now?

What do investors think about stocking up on the Ewok attack set will this be a must have for the Ewok village owners?

[Blackjack]

Since you get essentially the same thing in EV I don't think that it is 'essential', but it will definately be helped along by the EV with people purchasing them as booster packs.

[Ed Mack]

Probably a decent idea.

If you want to buy this set for investment than I would wait. Usually investors wait for sales to maximize their profit. The other thing with this set is it might not retire for 2+ years and most investors don't want their money to be tied up that long.

 

If you are a collector and love the Ewok scenes from The Return of the Jedi than by all means get it. I would assume many Ewok fans are happy that they finally released a treetop village.

EDIT: I confused the Ewok Attack with the new Ewok Village. My bad.

Hmmm, I just assumed it was already retired?  I stocked up on 6-7 of these during clearance sales the first of the year.  I do still see the Rebel/Scout booster packs on shelves.

[Darth Lego]

Probably a decent idea.  

It reminds me of bundling sets like Jabba's Palace and the Rancor Pit. That is also true with the Desert Skiff and the new Jabba's Sail Barge. I think that's a great idea to at least bundle this with a couple of the villages.

[Blackjack]

Yeah, that battle pack might see some growth because of EV.

[Ed Mack]

Maybe an AT-ST set would be a wise investment as well.  It's hard to tell the scale, but there are options and will probably be new ones as well.

Do you guys think that retail ($25) is too much to pay for Ewok Attack at this point? 

[LowestFormOfWit]

I would say yes, too much to pay. There's a couple on shelf in my area, some for clearance down in the $13 to $17 range. I don't think it sold particularly well. IIRC it got price slashed in most retail locations by $5.00 and it still couldn't move.

 

It's not that I don't think it could be a hit with the upcoming Ewok set, it's just that right NOW, with $25.00 I could make so many smarter choices with better ROI in a shorter time period.

I believe that the ewoks in this set both differ from the village ones ?

[StarPod]

I say stock up on battle of Endor. They are still fairly cheap as far as above retail and once the village hits people will find the bunker a necessity

I think that the tan 'Logrey' one is the same in both sets, but the others are exclusive.

Thanks for the link!

Too bad they don't ship to Canada.. I think the tree that comes with the Ewok attack set will fit in nicely with the EV set as well..

[Grolim]

Definitely a good idea.  I like the AT-ST inclusion as well.  All the Ewok sets could see interesting times ahead.

+1 for this statement. I bought to completely opened and crushed boxes last year at Walmart and already sold them   . At least I made a pretty penny on them. But they would have been even better 6 months from now!

Totally agree.

I bought a grip of these on clearance after Christmas and now I'm glad I did.  I have been piecing them out little by little.  Maybe I'll hold on to a few and sell them when the big one is released.
