jaisonline Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 If all of this wave of Star Wars is heading out that means sail barge and Republic Gunship will be heading out to most likely the sail barge should be out for a min of 2 years based on other larger OT sets (especially the other 3 recent Jabba-related sets). the sb debuted early July 2013.

zskid00 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 If all of this wave of Star Wars is heading out that means sail barge and Republic Gunship will be heading out to most likely I've had my fill of the Barge due to the $49 Walmart clearance, but I do need to buy some more Gunships. I only have a couple right now and of all the Prequel Trilogy sets to get I think this one might be the best out there right now. I really love the model and it has some great minifigs.

belljohn Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 If Heartlake Pool gets scarce, it will be great for Christmas too. Every Friends house needs a pool. I wasn't planning on getting many this year, but a retiring soon tag will put it on my radar for Cyber Monday. The deals aren't quite there right now on it since it could still be "retiring soon" for Christmas 2015. You never know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's much sturdier and sleeker than 7676, but a little smaller. It also has the clone trooper ball turrets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toycrazedchris Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Friends Bakery is Call for product availability on LEGO. Already going for $38 on Amazon. It could be done Looks like there are two listing for this on AZ. One is price you mention and other is $23.99 direct from AZ. Not saying it isn't gone (since I don't follow these) but seems to be avail everywhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrickU Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 So let me get this straight. @Shop Lego Retiring Soon means they have a crap load and need to unload it right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mscheaf Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 So let me get this straight. @Shop Lego Retiring Soon means they have a crap load and need to unload it right? Depends on the set. I doubt the trains that are marked as retiring soon were bad sellers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brickbuilder.g Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Pet Salon eh?

No More Monkeys Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Depends on the set. I doubt the trains that are marked as retiring soon were bad sellers. they marked those trains when they were already sold out I believe. I think they did it to prevent confusion with the newer trains, so that customers knew which ones are current. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GhostDad Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 For anyone thinking of investing in the X-Wing, check out the performance of 6212 first... First rule of Lego investing: there will always be an X-Wing in production (not counting the UCS model). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure the newer one will take 4 years to double. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comicblast Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 that's what was said about the tie-fighter and look where its going I would argue that the newest TIE Fighter was different enough that its investment potential wasn't stunted by the similarity to previous sets. The Republic Gunship color scheme and overall look is exactly like the ones previous. I'd also say that the 2008 version is better in terms of minifigures. TLG completely redid the TIE design of the set, but stuck to some basic parameters. Invest as you will, but personally I wouldn't bet heavily on this one.

First rule of Lego investing: there will always be an X-Wing in production (not counting the UCS model). I wonder what 6212 sold for at Christmas 2011, when it had been discontinued and 9493 hadn't been introduced yet? I also wonder how many "slots" in the product line up TLG wants to use for episode 7? 9493 isn't going to be a 5x set, but it might be a nice flip sometime soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hxckid88 Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 When it comes to people saying a set will or won't be a winner I'm a bit confused. It depends on your buy in. I have x wings.... I paid 20.00 for mine. No way I can lose. Any see can be a winner. What might make me a ton of money may not for you as everyone's buy in is different. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought a few right after it retired and still have one sitting on the shelf. I won't waste another dollar on a X-Wing set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I said, "I can easily make double or trip on a set," why wouldn't you say that's a winner? But, if I said it's a Friends polybag, would someone still call that a winner? If I buy in at $2, and sell for $6, is that still a winner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First rule of Lego investing: there will always be an X-Wing in production (not counting the UCS model). Another variable: Episode 7 We know Episode 7 will have X-Wings, but they are of a different design than Episodes 4-6. Will their be two simultaneous X-Wing playsets in production or are we going to see the Episode 4-6 design take a hiatus? Will Episode 7 sets be on sale in the 2015 Christmas season, or will TLG make them January 2016 releases? Will it even matter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What might make me a ton of money may not for you as everyone's buy in is different. yes you might be a winner but everyone in this business is not as fortunate as you to get to the target clearance and get X-wings for $17 and change. total out the door cost of $20. if you are getting sets at 70% off 90% off then all these are not for you at all.... you can close your eyes and stop arguing. your balance sheet is full of winners. people might be saying that b-wing is a winner.. yeah... only if you bought ****-load @ $99 but its not a winner if you happened to grab at $169(widely available mark) then its a clear loser... its RRP is $199. this set (10227) is a loser. people are selling $240 @ amazon. winner and losers are talking point based on RRP. { not the special discounts people might have access to } Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
