bdoubleg Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 this has been on the UK lego site half price for a while now - any mileage in this as an investment - i was even thinking of parting it out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neosphinx Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 If you have to buy 1 set from TMNT it's that one. I like it alot but it's steeply priced. It depends on the price you pay. Half price is reasonable imo. I'm not even sure you will need to part it out. It might perform as a set too. The thing with TMNT is that everyone is put off by the CAGR for Europe.I'm not. People rather put their money in safe super heroes sets. And so do I, but I just kept 2 complete 0-5 sets with flashback shredder minifig (promo) and an extra Baxter's Robot that I built in stock. I guess it could not hurt your wallet much to buy them at such a low price. I paid around 110 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 the set hasn't really seemed to look like it will do all that great. Honestly I am surprised they sunk so much into a tmnt theme considering the other licenses that are out there for grabs. Parting out - don't. Its worthless. TMNT stuff sells slower than Chima, Castle, and other middling themes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still don't understand why Baxter is a black guy... Wasn't he a fly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just not really going much of anywhere investment wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOrcKing Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Still don't understand why Baxter is a black guy... Wasn't he a fly?Baxter originally was black and at one point became a cyborg in the comics by Mirage but for the 1980's animated series they made him white and eventually into a fly for some reason. The change of race is believed to be for how racist it may have looked with Shredder bossing him around and even giving threats. It was the 80's after all and they couldn't afford to be politically incorrect in a children's television show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pickleboy Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 The CAGR and lack of demand is misleading b/c nothing has retired yet. You can still get everything at a store. TMNT will do great!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have said it before and I will second it again. I think TMNT is the biggest sleeper theme at the moment. Extremely popular franchise mixed with lack of reseller investment could make some of these sets monsters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
