TheOrcKing Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 How bad and overpriced is the V-wing and Vulture droid set that Lego is is already retiring them? Those 2 sets are real stinkers. Anyone picking them up?I bought one of each at different times from Target for $5 off. This (Republic) V-Wing looks nice next to the Imperial V-Wing from a couple years ago and the Vulture Droid is decent but my favorite is the Guard minifigure with his ol' world rifle which I still funny for him to carry when everybody else in the universe has blasters and lasers. It is strange to see anything so new being retired already but then again I suppose with all the new designs soon to be available, they have to start putting some sets on the chopping block as it were.

Cross Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 The Star Wars sets can be a bit frustrating, with the relentless "lather, rinse, repeat" TLG provides to this line. I would rather invest in "Senator Palpatine's latrine" knowing it was a one-and-done than yet another iteration of an X-wing, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Locutus001 Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 what is a pc Your first post and people already triy to take the mickey out of you ^.^ Welcome to the Forum! As already answered: PC = Palace Cinema ;-) (non-LEGO-related stuff might also be right ^^) I have that set...but it was called the Emporer's Throne Room image.jpg haha! :-) great one! There's even toilet paper involved ***** I don't see how I didn't notice this set before. Must be worth quite a bit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trekgate502 Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 I will say this if the Lego Star Wars 10240 Red 5 X Wing were to make an early exit it would be one of the most unhoarded sets in recent years. There is only 29 legitimate (take out misc stuff) auctions or BIN on ebay right now. I do not think it is going but it makes me nervous that I should get a few.

That's the difficulty of Lego Speculation, the sets nobody focuses on can end up doubling in price or tripling immediately while the sets we all like and hoard may or may not double in 3 years it seems.

legomom25 Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Question: You can buy 1 large set at a decent discount (25%), your storage space is shrinking, you do not want to miss a boat on something, etc... Which set to buy? Simpson house Tower of orthanc Pet shop (have already a few) Batman AA ( have a few) X wing ucs Or other suggestions? Smaller sets still? Buy the AA!

Grynn Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Funny, I checked seals on 10240 yesterday and there are none from this YEAR in my area. In rough estimation, the better the set sells, the more likely the seal codes will be recent, right? (New stock ordered and/or replacing that which is sold). Ewok Village R2D2 Death Star Sandcrawler Modulars without EOL signs T1 Van Maersk EEE Tower Bridge Opera House Winter Village Market Orthanc ...have all showed up in the area with recent seal codes in the last few weeks... Fairground Mixer Orthanc Horizon Express (maybe) ...are all currently sitting on the shelves with codes from earlier in the summer. Then there is poor Red 5. Craziness!

I'd like you to get 3 for me as well as safe measure ;-) (I'm hoping they'll stay some time, cannot afford them right now). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think this set will appreciate to what we would want. Were it not for resellers effect this set would have already been marked down for 50off like b-wing but alas ... i wouldn't touch this unless it's significantly discounted for reselling purpose. I do own one for my personal collection. Edited November 8, 2014 by newbie77 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justapilgrim Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 I think most of us know/believe that the current superhero sets will be retired (power armor lex will live forever), and interested to have a few thoughts that aren't GE HH SC etc related, lol the Iron man 3 sets are likely to never be reproduced, but I can't see the Mandarin or Killian popping much at all deadpool style in the minifig market I like 76002 probably best and think might be one of the better performers, no other wolverine/magneto/storm/cyclops out there or sentinals I think the batman ones (arctic, bat vs bane, etc) are interesting in that there is a never ending supply of batman lego, but all seem to do well on retirement on a side note, pretty sure the chima legend beasts are going to poof sooner than later, and selling 5 packs of complete sets could be great when they do finally die Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stackables Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 76002 isn't that from the superman movie? Most of those sets have been duds. You mention "no other wolverine/magneto/storm/cyclops out there or sentinals". There has already been a wolverine and magneto figure.

Flemdog33 Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Love 76005 Daily Bugle, 76000 Arctic Batman (build is really nice), 76007 Malibu Mansion. I've really loaded up on a few others (76004, 76006) but just don't know about how high they will go. My pick of them all is 76005 Daily Bugle. Good minifigures and anyone into Spider-Man sets will want the Daily Bugle building IMO. Plus the building has a modular building type look to it and to me adds to value.

zskid00 Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Some of these sets have already been around too long, especially IM3 and MOS movie based sets that very few seem interested in now. The first round of Superheroes sets that effectively retired last year will probably perform better. There are some great sets coming out in this theme, but my fear is that LEGO will keep them in production for 3 years (Batcave & Power Armor Lex) instead of the normal 2 year cycle.

Flemdog33 Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Most of the 76000-09 are long gone off store shelves and online only. TRU have the biggest selection left but we all know their prices are crazy. Daily Bugle at TRU is $66.99. I picked some up and price matched at $39.99 but had to get manager override because price difference was so extreme. How many superhero sets can they have going at once? IMO when the new sets start to appear Lego will do a quick retirement sweep of many older sets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grynn Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 The Riddler Chase appeals to me personally, has The Flash going for it (for now at least), doesn't appear to be sitting on shelves as much as the other sets in my area, and now that Walmart has Joker Steamroller discounted, is the only set I haven't seen on sale anywhere. Doubt it's got Deadpool potential (nothing in the line is likely to repeat that performance, imho, now that the popularity is soaring), but it seems like some good signs are present for significant appreciation. There seem to be some really random set designs in the non-movie superhero sets, but this one has universal appeal nonetheless. Along those lines, I kind of agree with the Daily Bugle comments, too.
