You need 2 or more to make a proper cantina and the piece count in this one is just enough to convince AFOLs that this is a good enough start and design. Rose colored glasses here, or maybe I picked a bad day to quit sniffing glue. Same arguments for DS! Quote
zskid00 Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 (edited) I'm a Star Wars fanboy and was really excited about the Cantina re-release especially for a chance to get Greedo, Bith Band, and Dewback. I'm definitely bullish on this set and can see it doing well similar to recent OT location sets like Jabba's Palace and the Rancor Pit. It's Star Wars so susceptible to yet another re-release but I don't see that happening for a while. It was nearly 10 years from the last Cantina until this one.

biking_tiger Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 The Cantina being discounted "since day one" only means more "I shoulda bought more when..." after it retires. It's going to be just fine... no surprise, but fine. 1 Quote
botchy123 Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 The Greedo in the old set was going for £40 alone before the remake.This set is a massive improvement on the old one IMV Quote
redcell Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 Already gone at WM. Target is still in stock at $54.99 with limit of 3 per order. Quote
asharerin Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 This set reminds me of home one and palpatines arrest. Those two did OK if you acquired at nice steep discounts. I am expecting the same results on this one. Quote
Val-E Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 What about 75053 The Ghost? Rebels series but no Disney Logo. I think it may stick around as it is no OT but if it were to go too then you would have to start thinking that the 3 exclusives are also on borrowed time. Quote

conceptmachine Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 (edited) Agree with marx, these sets were constantly on the shelves. If investing, for the most part, I'd buy according to what sells well. There are some exceptions but don't think this is one of them. I'm not sure if I bought even 1 of these. I'm happy to see these sets leave to make room for new. Edited November 16, 2015 by conceptmachine Quote

conceptmachine Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 I guess not!! I've bought plenty of sets others have no interest in, I'm glad I did. This might be one of them for you guys. I'm not a big stars fan, this may be my skepticism. Quote
HandyHand Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 Bought my first Cantina from Amazon DE last week at a nice discount. Today I received the shipping email, and when I checked Amazon the price had already been increased again to €79,99. Interesting because Amazon DE didn't hike up the price for both the ISD and AT-AT sets which are both still on sale there. Quote

It's going to be just fine... no surprise, but fine. totally agree. In a world where we don't have EP7 coming out with new Star Destroyers, and without rumors of a Hoth UCS base,,,,i would think those two sets are the big winners. But with me fearing SIMILAR versions of either on the horizon, i think the Cantina is the sleeper hit from this wave. 6 hours ago, exciter1 said: I think the cantina has a lot going for it, because you can't stop at one.

(hope i spelled that correctly). This is an awesome set and an easy winner if it slips away quietly. Quote

elkolonel Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 I might have trouble shiftng my 1 then! Quote
Val-E Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 I am excited that I don´t have it! Even with a buy-in of 36 euros vs 80 RRP, I feel there are just too many of them on the market (and in shops) to flip this Xmas and with the new one onthe horizon, long term value is uncertain. Another production run just makes matters worse. Quote
