Ideas #005: 21104 - NASA Mars Science Laboratory Curiosity Rover

I'm curious, what do you guys expect this set to sell for, say, by Christmas 2015? $100?

I have no experience with Cuuso sets (in fact, I have almost no Lego investment experience at all)

 

I personally would never buy a set this size for $100, but that's just me (and I really mean it, cos I know with my level of income and dedication I would never shell out more than $300 for any Lego set to play or display, but thousands of other people do it every single day).

 

The reason I'm asking is because at the current price ($60-ish + S&**** on Ebay) even though it's great ROI percentage wise, I'm not sure you will pocket much unless you have like 50 of them.

I expect this set to sell for $150 or a little more by Christmas 2015. Maybe it will reach those kind of prices by this Christmas. Who knows, but the one of the reasons that the set is doing so well is because of the limited availability. If more Rovers were made, I would predict that it would take a long while for it to climb that high.

There'll be plenty of people willing to shell out $100 for this set in time, have no fear.

I certainly won't be selling at $60.

I'll sell at $100. I don't know about it hitting $150 with so many being hoarded. Who knows though, maybe it goes zombies on us.

  

That's the thing are so many being hoarded?

21104 on eBay continue to climb.  Christmas is looking good!

 

Excluding a damaged box and one from Canada, this set is now at $98 on ebay.

Look at this auction listing over a day left and at $76 for a USED built set.

"being hoarded" ?? there were not that many availability to do any hoarding. And jojobimbi was hoarding via purchases from 3rd parties, so, he was reducing available stock. If he is one of the few who had any significant amount, and had to buy for (1.5-2) x MSRP, I would imagine he wants it to go higher than $100 to star selling. we can just ride along...

Any news on the Rover today? There are 7 new listings on eBay today one with 5 another with more then 10. The only thing I see at LEGO Shop at Home is the gold bricks "stars" that represent the reviews are no longer gold but grey. The reviews are still there. Only other thing I can think of is that it did not retire when SSD did.
