Brickbuilder.g Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 this set is not sold in lego stores, correct? and will not be.. My local store says no I was in another store elsewhere and they said they did receive them Sent from my iPhone using Br Quote
Noodlenut Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 They are currently sold out on LEGO Shop at Home. Quote
Darth_Raichu Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 So let me ask the next logical question: For the members who think this will be a highly sought after limited production set, what is stopping you from offering say $70 to everyone who wants to sell their copy right now ? If the set's future valuation is $140, there is still quite a profit margin left on the table. This would be similar to what the-one-who-shall-not-be-named-from-UK did with 41999. FULL DISCLOSURE: I have a few 21104 in my possession to do as I wish Quote

That's why my personal golden rule is to NEVER pay over RRP for anything. Quote
jeff_14 Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 I saw a whole bunch of these in a store on the weekend and didn't realize they were so limited. I think I'll head back pronto and pick up a bunch. Quote

I think I'll head back pronto and pick up a bunch. If they are MSRP, I`d buy every single one, no questions. It`s only a matter of time before Quote
Migration Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 One closed in the mid $40's on ebay the other day. Even shipped BIN's can be had in the mid $60's. Although it's not that difficult to get multiples from LEGO Shop at Home for retail. Quote

No More Monkeys Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 ...Although it's not that difficult to get multiples from LEGO Shop at Home for retail. Not anymore... It does not even say "ships in 30 days", or "ships March 26". Just good old "Sold Out" Quote
No More Monkeys Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 I meant once it's back in stock. It will definitely not going to be in stock at least until March 26 (if ever). March 26 was the last non-OOS status as of yesterday Quote

That's why my personal golden rule is to NEVER pay over RRP for anything. I used to be like that too, but have learned to make a few exceptions to that rule. Quote
Migration Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 I stand corrected, let the hoarding begin. Quote
Guest TabbyBoy Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 I'm buying as much as I can when I can but, not a penny over RRP. Quote
hockeypunk05 Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 Who has seen these in store? My store said they were online only. Quote
jeff_14 Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 Who has seen these in store? My store said they were online only. Go to a Legoland park or Discovery Centre Quote
brent_draper Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 These are sold out and I just talked to my friend at lego and he said that from what he has heard, they aren't coming back. It was an extremely limited run, online only, 1 per household. I think it's gone for good!! Glad I snagged a few. Sent from my iPhone using Brickpicker Quote
Brickbuilder.g Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 Called Lego shop at home - said most likely not coming back. Has this happened before? EOL after 30 days? lol 1 Quote
hockeypunk05 Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 Cheapest on fleabay is $63.47. Worth it at that price? I only got 2 of these. Quote
Ed Mack Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 I stand corrected, let the hoarding begin. Quote
No More Monkeys Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 Cheapest on fleabay is $63.47. Worth it at that price? I only got 2 of these. Got only two as well... remember myself yesterday debating internally whether or not I should swallow the shipping fee or bundle it with something else... didn't do either... and now, how they say it, "poof" ? Stock levels are very thin on e bay Quote
No More Monkeys Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 Lucky british... they have "limit 5" and it is still available for shipping, although on Feb 13. Maybe I should try to ship to one of our offices in UK... Also available in Germany. Not in Canada though.. 1 Quote
nolanfan34 Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 I ordered one last week on backorder, hope it ships. :-| Quote
@rtisan Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 This makes me curious if they will bring it back. We`ve seen it before, very limited quantities go very fast, but only time will tell if this will be the case here. If they really are so concerned about the "fans" why do this? Why not produce a larger quantity? Especially for a CUUSOO project. Of course I expected it to sell quick, but not 27 days into available. Was thinking more along the lines of 5-6months. Anyway, here I am caught with my pants down without one Guess I`ll order one off ebay . Quote
