Val-E Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 (edited) AFAIK all Series 2 Microfighters are no longer being made and are an offically retired product - at least in Europe. They will probably take another 9 months to disappear from stores, though. Edited February 9, 2016 by Val-E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoth set coming out this year, does anyone think LEGO Star Wars Snowspeeder (75074) which came out in January 2015 could be retiring soon? The 75030 Millennium Falcon microfighter was released in Feb 2014 and retired in May 2015. This would mean that an April / May 2016 retirement date for it could be likely. If it does, what do you think the future value might be here say a year out from retirement? snowspeeder and at-at microfighters had extra long production compared to the other series 2 at least in USA. None of the other Microfighters are performing like the Millennium Falcon. I would not pay more than $7 for 75074 and would hope it to reach $21 within a year of EOL. The "real" snowspeeder 75049 is kicking butt and now selling for $65 very quickly on amazon. Edited February 9, 2016 by cladner 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may have horded more than a few in my garage. I will give independent confirmation that #1 and #3 applying to me as well. #2 has not been the case. I've seen plenty at Target and TRU around me. I haven't even bothered checking Wal-Mart or any other store selling them at, scoff, original MSRP. I have a decent quantity that I will either unleash to my growing army or flip for a great return. I still haven't formed a clear opinion about Dimensions, but I'm leaning towards massively over-produced and we will see much better discounts. Not sure that Dr. Who is going to last until that markdown. Given the bajillion Portals level packs I've seen, I wouldn't discount the possibility of another large production run. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can find AT-AT or Mos Eisley, those are looked upon as favorable investments by many. Snowspeeder's might not be a bad target. They are very likely done, but still can be found lingering on store shelves much more easily than the sets above (at least around me). I don't know how well they will fit with the recently unveiled UCS Hoth. If they are dimensionally compatible, I would like the prospects. (Full disclosure; I had few star wars toys as a kid. Snowspeeder was one, and I know I look upon that with a bit more sentimental attachment than the regular guy). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this rate wave 3 will be available for a week if it comes out at $7.49. It certainly isn't that hard to pick up 30 right now. Seems like a low risk $200 hunch. I love the display bases. I will stay away from wave 1, that's for sure. The ramp up to first release must have been huge for wave 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpinemaps Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 I run pretty deep in Doctor Who circles, and I will say that, to a Whovian, $15 for a Dalek and a Cyberman minifigure is nothing. Some of them are crazy for their merchandise. With discounts, its easy to army build them, too. People are doing this: 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now they're going to scramble to catch up to all the people who bought a bunch. Even LEGO Shop at Home had them marked down for a week. $7.49 for a pair of army builders screams "BUY ME NOW!" I've got a bunch stashed in my front room with no other Dimensions packs. My prediction is that we'll see these falling off the pegs in a couple months because they ramped up so much.

Alpinemaps Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 That might be true, but Doctor Who has a big enough fan base that's constantly growing that I have no doubt these will be popular for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there will be a theme, and they will both be available in other places. You could make any kind of historical or space set and throw in the Doctor, a Companion and one of the baddies. There's got to be some designs out there for lines that didn't make it to year 2 that can be repurposed. The Doctor, a Silurian and a Triceratops? Cybermen in an unused Prince of Persia set? The Doctor being menaced by space insects? Daleks assaulting a Sheriff's office? all could be done and more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well one major stockist (Smyths) in the UK has cleared out stock with a pretty amazing deal (not sure if any were ever available at that price) and the set now seems to have been pulled from their site. Thought it was still available at TRU over here though. Personally think its a bit too early for this one to be going but having a major retailer drop this set is food for thought.

Cheese Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Saw a pretty bashed up SC at TRU a few days ago. The Smyths deal is almost too good to believe, although that's what it was advertised online. whether there were many that were available for a £150 is another thing.
