Huskers1236 Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 I want more of them, but I can hold off for more than a $9 discount, I believe Amazon had them cheaper a week or so ago, but I missed it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quacs Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Beat me to the punch, Huskers. A $9 discount isn't really that meaningful, but as discussed ad nauseum in another thread - there will likely be better discounts (although not guaranteed), but you're going to want this in your portfolio, so if you're worried about missing out, then $111 isn't a bad price, especially if you don't pay shipping. You will likely find better deals in the future, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coneil21 Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Weird story. I'm alone in my house. I was looking at the Amazon VW on my phone. Placed the phone down on my bed with the VW screen pulled up. Jumped in the shower. Just got out of shower to find an order confirmation page for the VW! Bottom line -- my phone doesn't even need me anymore to order Legos!!! Should I be scared???? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emazers Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 For $110 its a great buy, I am putting at least $1500 in these I have 12 already and I have a few more $20 coupons to get them for about $106 each which I will be getting 2 more Saturday, I think these will do way better than the Sopwith Camel, just check ebay for completed auctions on the old Camel, compared to the Volkswagen Beetle. I think $100 profit on the Camper once retired. Get some before they are gone. The Box art alone is what helps them sell. Ed 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love this set (it's only one of three that I actually own/built) and think it will perform really well after retirement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would either be scared that your phone has begun the first phase of Skynet or there's somebody in your house ordering Lego on your behalf. Either way, not good. For you younguns, look up Skynet to get the joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, not good. For you younguns, look up Skynet to get the joke. Amusingly enough, I went back and read the four issues of Frank Miller's Robocop vs. The Terminator comics a week or two ago just cause I felt like it. Crossover stories are pretty cool to begin with but those are awesome. It's trippy reading stuff like the technology behind Robocop lead to Cyberdyne's later robotics or about Robocop's consciousness was the very thing that gave SkyNet a mind of it's own! I may be confusing some parts from the two video games done on the short series though since games have been known to take some 'liberties'. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed I agree with you about the Camper Van being a better investment than the Camel, BUT you also have to take into account that the old version of the Camel was nowhere as nice and large as the current one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked it a lot. Check out the kind of recent robocop comic by Miller and Juan Jose Ryp. It's a bit of a different take on the movies.

I'm not so up to date on comics anymore; I think the nearest one around me is maybe close to 45 minutes one way so I didn't know about a more recent Robocop comic series. By the way, wouldn't Robocop make an awesome minifigure?! Or how about a build of ED-209? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scissorino Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 The VW bus has a whole non-Lego audience which is way huger than the non-Lego audience that the Camel will have. Millions of VW fans out there, and even more Bus fans. A colleague isn't into Lego but loves campers and she got one for her birthday - she didn't even want to build it herself! Now, all I need to do is convince the wife that this is a worthy investment... Anyone know when it is likely to retire? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no information on it, but I think this will be around at least through the holiday season. Can't imagine them keeping it until July or August and deciding to call it right before spending season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaisonline Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 No the discounted 10220 Wait a few more months. You will find it at $100 or less starting Sept / Oct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaisonline Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Historic pricing of Lego 'exclusive' sets sold via online retailers. . Many if not all have seen nice discounts sometime between Oct and Dec / mid Jan for the last 5 yrs. Pick 5-10 sets still around and just check historic amazon prices. Modulars, Death Star, SDD, Camper Van. Tower Bridge, etc... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diabolos80 Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 I would go broke if Amazon put the VW at <$100. For real. I'd buy one for everyone I know, and buy the rest to sit on. Literally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
