pharmjod Posted January 10, 2020 Posted January 10, 2020 You are assuming everyone buying at $150-$200 are newby investors. Investors aren't what has kept that set in production for nearly 7 years. And I assumed the poster that talked about clicking the buy button at LEGO was referring its reappearance today for $112 limit 20 at LEGO shop at home. But I could be totally wrong there. I missed the conversation where folks were being encouraged to buy to buy at MSRP for investment. 1 Quote
pharmjod Posted January 10, 2020 Posted January 10, 2020 Which is funny given all the talking you’re doing in opposition to the general consensus. You must have me confused with someone else since I rarely post here. Also, I didn't know there was a BP concensus that the Parisian Restaurant was a failure as an investment. I guess that depends on how long you've been holding them. I only recently bought some on sale. I guess if you've had them for 5-7 years you might feel differently. 2 Quote

Investors aren't what has kept that set in production for nearly 7 years. Our discussion doesn't have anything to do with anything retiring soon, so let's just cut it. You're right, many people also missed out on it, many of them buy right now. Of course. That's the case with every set. This set for the reasons you mentioned (popularity, modular etc.) also is a classic investors set. Pair that with the insane price spike and you get a mixed demand. Just watching eBay also helps, a whole lot of people buy 3 at a time, easy to spot. I didn't mean to spread negativity, just had to answer donbees unnecessary comment, not the first time. Quote

donbee Posted January 11, 2020 Posted January 11, 2020 Btw I’m an afolI don’t have any PR. Now you know one. I get it. My response was dripping with sarcasm. But was it full of false logic?My argument, though written in poor taste, was much more logical than “don’t buy it because I don’t know anyone who doesn’t have it already.”OP. You can take his advice, or you can take mine. My advice, his advice was poor. Wasn’t really relevant either, unless you live across the pond. If you want some better advice PM me. I’ll give you some, and then you can decide. Quote
donbee Posted January 11, 2020 Posted January 11, 2020 I love the modular but they worry me as an investment. It's a lot of cash to tie-up in one item. A shitty buyer on ebay would be disappointing. This is a decent opinion. Quote
donbee Posted January 11, 2020 Posted January 11, 2020 I wouldn't say since the beginning. I think every modular did well as a big set except for PC, PS & PR, which are all around the 200 mark. And even these could double your money if your buy-in was 30% off.This is more logical. And yes the sale the OP was talking about was for 30%. Quote

Probably the usual suspects buying a large qty and flipping for 2 or more times price. A two week run would be very unlikely, but then it is "lucky cat" Quote

marcandre Posted January 13, 2020 Posted January 13, 2020 My store is out. Just in case I ordered one yesterday off ebay (used some points paid $14) for my wife. She does not care much about Lego but saw lucky cat and had to have it. Could be an indicator of wide appeal? Quote
