comicblast Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 I have to say that the Flying Dutchman is the best option of the 4 that are currently out. IMO the 3818 Bikini Bottom Undersea Party comes next, followed by Glove World and Heroic Heroes of the Deep. All in all however, they will be great investments. Just look at the direction the other SpongeBob sets have taken! UP, UP, UP! If you really must know more, which I am sure is the case, wait a little while and you will get an EC article by me on it!

DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 You guys really think the SpongeBob sets will do well? I didn't think they were all that great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandon90820 Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 The older sets are doing pretty well. and I think the only sets with sandy are the older rocket and this newer glove park one, so I think that the glove one will do well at least (comes with spongebob, patrick, sandy, and a fish for $20), and it is $18 on target.com (+20% off). I also like the superhero set because of the unique minifigs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 There were several of these clearanced out in my target. I may take your advice and grab a few. Doubt I could lose money on the deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Flying dutchman considered the best out of these? Looks like it sold the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comicblast Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Flying dutchman considered the best out of these? Looks like it sold the best. IMO yes. It's a boat. I think Bikini Bottom Undersea Party is second place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comicblast Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Now the Flying Dutchman is showing up as 171 for me now. New shipment of 170 copies? I am hoping not... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brickolodon Posted July 12, 2013 Author Share Posted July 12, 2013 BTW 20% off Target coupon (print online) good up to 07-20-2013....that's 50% off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quacs Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 I'm a little worried about this last SBSP release having jumped the shark, so to speak. Bikini Bottom has been made twice previous to this latest iteration. While the first did really well, the second one (3834 Good Neighbors) has been a dud by Lego investing (and SBSP) standards. I don't see the third being meaningfully different, although it has maintained its eBay sale price close to MSRP, so it hasn't dug itself a big hole. I agree the Dutchman is the one to watch from the last batch. I personally am not sold on the other two although they could be worth a flip if you get a discount on them.

wholovesboo Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 LOL looks like I was too slow. How have the SB minifigs done on their own if separated from the sets? Anyone been following that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comicblast Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Spongebob theme retired tbis year....even 5th grader knows that.... ...see brickipedia link Not to disagree with you on this particular thing, but for further reference, Brickipedia has been wrong before. I was looking around for a complete list of UCS SW models and came a cross Brickipedia. I was like "Hey, this has the word brick in it, and pedia. It must be reliable, right?" (Maybe not exactly like that, but it was a long time ago). Lo and behold, it was wrong. There were several sets added such as Cloud City, AT-AT, etc. etc. Make sure that you double check it with other sources. Just so ya'll don't make the same mistake as me: A Star Wars set that has a 10xxx number is not a UCS set. It is simply a LEGO exclusive, which was the reason for this misconception.

It also does not say retiring soon, which would indicate an imminent retirement... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
