Hello to all,

 

Recent months to buy the 8110 Unimog ... comes out later this year!

 

 

 

Hi, welcome to the site.  I am not really sure what you are asking here.  Can you please rephrase your statement?

I meant to say... 

 

Officially, this set will be discontinued at the end of year.

Really? we shall see... I never aimed to buy any so I'll stay away and enjoy the show never liked technic

this set can do very well ... excellent investment

I'm the same way, I never could get into technic so I'll enjoy the show from the sidelines.

Hope you are right. I've got 3 of them and was considering a few more. I've done welll in the past with the larger Technic sets. I never go overboard though on buying Technic sets. Patiently waiting on my two 41999's to arrive.

I am hoping to pick one up by the end of the year

I'm pretty sure, I have had confirmation from some people who work at Lego 

Lucky me then, picked up 3 of those at half retail price about 2 months ago

I regretted buying Technic apart from 41999.  I'll be happy to get RRP for my Unimogs next year but, I won't hold my breath.

Most large technic sets do really good in the secondary market. It's kind of a niche I guess, not every body likes the theme. I have the feeling many investors here overlook it even though it has great potential. But hey, I can't get myself to buy friends stuff even though lots of people are all over it

At least I'm "proud" to say that I now have a bunch of pink & purple boxes! ;-)

I think this set is already 2+ years on market. Last few days this set has no discount even during Black Friday and cyber Monday. High chance of EOL in coming weeks.

Well toys r us just sent me a 20% off coupon for regular priced items. I have 10 unimogs. If i could get 30% on more i would probably go for 10 more. Only one tru in nm has them in stock.

That's for regular price items. Think the unimog is marginally discounted on TRU, thereby rendering the coupons useless. Cunning TRU folks.

At least on line they went from 229 to 199 which is retail. It would be nice as i dont think anyone else is buying these here to pick up the last ones they have.

At 30% i would make it happen. Probably not anytime soon. Pretty amazing how no tru deals applied to it.

I think the internal logic is that if it is a popular set and the retailers have low inventory on it, then the discount will be minimal. I don't think the retailers stock up on plenty of large technic sets, looking at the lego shops near me. The retailers will likely not order another batch of large technic sets after the set is released for more than 1.5 years, or that TLG will not produce the large technic sets towards EOL due to higher cost and narrower margins? Hence the unimogs disappeared from shelves around summer 2013, and is replaced by mobile crane Mk 2. Even the 4x4 crawler is gradually disappearing.

I'm in Canada and I stacked a couple of 8110 Unimogs. However, here the retail price is 250$ compared to 200$ in the USA with 100 CAD = 95 USD. So we're a little bit screwed here with the LEGO investing business. We have to be resourceful and take our chances when we have them! I used the Toys R Us competition policy : they match ANY price (in Canada, of course), minus 10% (of the lowest price, of course). With this policy applied, I managed to get my hands on a few 8110 Unimogs at 196 CAD. How much did you pay for yours in the USA and elsewhere?

paid 165 US from LEGO Shop at Home , well I got 35 back during 3x points....

I have a couple of them and on average, I paid 33% below MSRP.

I bought my two at Argos last year with an R2-D2 when LEGO was 3-for-2.  I've built one and have the other left boxed in the attic.  Since this was the largest ever Technoc set at the time, the force is strong in this one especially as it's Merc licenced and a cracking build.  Just don't get the gears the wrong way round in the differential gearbox near the start of the build like I did as it's a 3hr strip down to fix when you hear the steering clicking!  I foolishly built it "my way" as I thought there was a mistake in the manual, there wasn't!
