Agreed - I don't see it getting to $100, but it's been one of the top-selling sets on Amazon since its release and I can't imagine it won't stay popular after it retires.

Solsbury18 Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 For example? With the right buy in, 70841 Benny’s Space Squad could be good. But I also have a feeling lots of sellers will purchasing these for resale so that could be an issue.

LegoBro Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 For example? Do some research....frequency of sold listings on ebay...if amazon..sales rank...how many sellers on the platforms. Personally, I think the market will be flooded with LM2 sets for a while. Sent from my SM-N975U using Brickpicker Forum mobile app 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(here's me trying to so off my Newb BP knowledge): the obvious one is Apocalapseburg: truly unique and creative...would stand on its own merit without the Movie, IMO (Very Planet of teh Apes and a center piece for Zonbie themes). It's a great investment because of the minifigs...there boast a eclectic mix of unique DC characters...the star is the EVER popular Harley quin (She has a cool movie coming up but she doesn't need one as she's one of the most popular characters..probably amongst Adult male 35-50 lol...which overlaps well w/ AfoL demographics btw)) The negative is that its a big set with all the known issues of large box...but being a prime piece out candidate also helps mitigate...the Minfigs alone were fethcing 65% of the set price ion ebay in past months....the HQ mf is like a $50 bill) The current sale price of $219 is attractive and I was tempted, but I think come black friday we may see a full 30-35% off...no way a set like this hits 50%...they will all get hoarded at 30% off. I think the sleeper is Rexselsior...I really don't see many of these around...and held a solid $100 for its life on ebay...I could see kids a year form now wanting it because I think it's a real hit for the target boy LEGO age...and parents willing to fork over the 2x readily for it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cladner Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Even with the whole theme 50% off, only one tlm2 set managed to make amazon top 100. Emmett house #92 meh Why waste ur money investing in TLM2 theme when It sells poorly now. Doesn’t bode well. And 75% off is just around the corner and then ur into a long hold at 50% bye bye Cagr just my two cents. Maybe I’ll be wrong but I doubt it. So many easier tried and true investment choices but to each their own. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Val-E Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 I think there will be a couple of sets that will do well - there are some pretty short runs after all, but the success to turd rate is not going to be good. Normal, considering the movie did not do as well as expected. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One man's opinion......probably wrong I hadn't seen this set on a store shelf until yesterday (I hadn't really looked at stuff for months). I was intrigued by the size of the box and set, but as I looked at the box "art" and looked at the ship, there wasn't one thing that made me want to buy this. Drab, boring, awful ship design, etc. Many times, I see a box, and it triggers the desire to buy. This box triggered my desire to not even bother looking at the back. For piece count/price, the set will still be a mild winner, one day, at 50%. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyBricks Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 I like the party bus (70828). It's got a sleek and creative design, and I think it would appeal to kids who like the Friends theme--especially along the lines of the pop-star stuff. Of course, that's not based on any real data, as my Target is sitting on these 7 deep and it can't even crack the top 100 in building toy sales on Amazon even at its current 50%-off price. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
