Villager Chris Posted February 7, 2017 Posted February 7, 2017 Anyone notice that some of the Lego Batman Movie sets went to Backorder today? Some lines also been out of stock on Tesco and Amazon over the last few days. I think one or two will disappear within weeks to stimulate sales of all sets. The question is, which one? 1 Quote
Lordoflego Posted February 7, 2017 Posted February 7, 2017 Pet shops? Hundreds of ecto sets? thought no more warehouse, thought no more Lego selling game? Wait, wait, don't answer, I don't want to know.... 2 Quote

Wait, wait, don't answer, I don't want to know.... Expand I can't understand the misunderstanding, why does me not buying mean no more LEGO selling game? Isn't that the whole idea of business to sell AFTER you have bought? I'm not exactly going to flush all my Ecto1s down the toilet or put my Pet Shops on the compost heap am I? ;-) I know... I could SELL them, what a great idea! I am definitely NOT out of the selling game, just the buying game! ;-) You're right, no more warehouse as I now use a room next to my office. This is for the other BP member that wants to know. Why ask in the first place? Quote

Expand I think LEGO only produced a little in the first run to test the market. You probably have a very short flipping window before the sets are everywhere and heavily discounted. Personally, I don't like any of them apart from the Arctic Roller but, so will everybody else hence, this ain't the sleeper in the theme. Quote
Achilles Posted February 7, 2017 Posted February 7, 2017 Obviously I haven't been EVERYWHERE, but the volume of Batman movie sets at my local Target/Walmart/TRU are all incredibly large, and B&N has a ton of them as well. 2 Quote
fossilrock Posted February 7, 2017 Posted February 7, 2017 I could see the Scarecrow Pizza Delivery set being short lived and being the "raptor escape" of the theme. It's got a few things suggesting it could go that way - 1st is that there is another Scarecrow set coming in summer. 2nd it's a walmart exclusive, and those never seem to last more than 2 runs. Other than that I think the rest will be around for at least a year, and some being around for 2 years. It's not really that cool of a set though. 1 Quote

The Killer Croc set is pretty freaking sweet, and the build was pretty fun as well... I also think the Jokers vehicle is nice too and that the catwomans cycle is another nice little set. Sure, batmans bat cave set is nothing overly great, and the Arkham Asylum set isn't a major homer run, but this theme has a lot going for it. I definitely think it's the theme of the year so far. 4 Quote

Expand For kids, yes. For AFOLs, I don't think so. The new Catwoman cycle looks OK but, won't be anywhere near as rare as the old one. I do have a "cunning plan" regarding this theme but, I'm keeping quiet for the time being. We'll soon know if the movie bombs or not. Quote
Villager Chris Posted February 7, 2017 Posted February 7, 2017 So there is a glut in recent sets. Maybe, just maybe, Lego is aware and will make sure that a few new sets are not overproduced. 12 initial sets is reasonable and the critics favour the movie. Yes, shops will have plenty of stock, but a lot will fly once kids have seen the movie. Some of the sets look decent and clean, compared to the mix/mash of other recent sets. I may have my rosy specs on, I wouldn't write it off yet... 1 Quote

I speculated the set would jump 100E on retirement I was dead wrong. The set never went away and now even my Aunt from Nigeria has 3 for sale. Even though I was lucky on some sets, the cheer number of TB, T1 and PS still sitting in my stock are just hurting my eyes. Lucky me - I managed to avoid the DS pitfall... Anyways - this is my last negative post. From now on - everything IS AWESOME!!! 2 Quote
