Cheese Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Just come back from lunch and just filled up on Wall-e from Asda at £30 each. Debating whether to go in for another SOH, EV and SC given no deals on at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't commend or slate the show as I've never seen it. It seems like I'm going against the grain here with what I've ordered and, judging by history, this can only be a good thing.

Cheese Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Ordered another SC,EV and SOH. At least there's double VIP and a bus thrown in. Assume that last production runs have now been done. Let's just hope it isn't the mother of all production runs and this is still on the shelves for months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asharerin Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Sadly all of the listed "retiring soon" sets have already been massively hoarded. Still hoping for a surprise retirement or the class of 2016 is going to be the worst performing year yet for exclusives. My advice buy at steep discounts on these or you could be waiting a few years just to break even after fees and shipping. Loads of resellers have had many years at 30-40% off on all of those listed so far so don't go paying RRP at the end and expect to do much more than break even over the short and medium terms (those days are gone forever except for the true surprises).

lukiepete Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 In France we have tags on all of these, too.10218 - Pet Shop 10234 - Sydney Opera House 10236 - Ewok Village 75059 - Sandcrawler 21108 - Ecto-1 21302 - Big Bang Theory 21303 - WALL-E 21304 - Dr. Who I disagree for the most part on the doom & gloom. I think if you were to pay RRP on EV or SC you would still make 30% over the next year in most of Europe. As for the others? Well... I think WALL-E, the good Dr. Who and probably SOH would offer solid returns. I haven't seen these on sale too often around here except for Germany.
