lowillsw Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 I saw Walmart had a rollback online and in selected location on the Lion Temple. I inputed the price on Amazon where I found it cheaper. Within 15 minutes, Amazon marked it down to 99.88 if anyone is interested. No sales tax and free shipping.

allen9917 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I guess it's fair to say no one is sure about the theme, but it is general consensus that of all the Chima sets, the CHI temple is one of the best if not the best investment option. I got 3 with average price of $70 and I don't think I'm buying more unless I see better discount than that, or the performance of other retired Chima sets.

rmachado Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I did not noticed that a retailer had those for 40 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shootyb Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 My local KMart has them at $75 (38% off). I didn't want to pull the trigger due to my storage contraints. These sets are big and I'm not sure how long I'll have to hold onto Chima to turn any profit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brickswelt Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Any new expectations on this set? Production for Germany has ended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zskid00 Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 This set was only available at the U.S. LEGO Shop at Home site for less than 10 months and most retailers have cleared them out. I'm amazed that between TRU, Target, and Kroger, all the ones I found were 50% off. They really wanted to get rid of them quickly and I bought all 7 I found. I'm hoping for good returns this Christmas as I don't plan to hold this set any longer than that. I think I can easily double my money, maybe better.

iahawks550 Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 At one point, these were around $40 somewhere. I'm not a huge believer in the set at anything higher than $50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legopocalypse Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Been getting 150+ for this set so call me a believer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waddamon Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 I am sold as well. Of all that new sets at my two TRU's the large new Chima stuff was sold out. I only wish I had double of the chi temples. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zskid00 Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 At one point, these were around $40 somewhere. I'm not a huge believer in the set at anything higher than $50 I would buy this set all day long at $60. Not sure where they showed up for $40 but I'm willing to bet it wasn't widely available at that price. It's selling for $100 or just above that on ebay right now....in the middle of the summer. Just wait until the holiday shopping kicks in. I know there are a ton of options for Chima sets right now, but this will be long gone by November and it's a main set from the cartoon. I have high hopes that this will be pushing $140-150 before Christmas, but we'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sauromosis Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 I'm bullish. I'd spend 70 or less. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerryherb Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 i ended up with 9 at 50% off or better through TRU/target sale with additional 10%/5% discount (got 2 as low as $45 a piece out the door). glad its selling for near MSRP during summer slump. Excellent, Smithers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ciglione Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 On ebay Germany it is selling now between 140 and 150 euro. Should I bother buying two for 110 euro each? Will this set go up in value any further? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waddamon Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Mine says yes. First run of a theme that could take off. First big set of said theme, low investor focus, short retail life. These facts do not compel one to ignore purchase price but i think it could do quite well. I expect i will sell all of mine in 2 or 3 years, maybe keep one for the long haul depending on mid range performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allen9917 Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Do you guys plan to unload your Lion Chi this Christmas? I will be very tempted to do that once the price goes up to $170~180 to clear some storage space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meowingthings Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 (edited) Bought this at TRU for $42 last week. Amazed it was still around though it was a bit dented. Local Walmart sold out at $120. Edited September 9, 2014 by meowingthings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Good lord, 42$ is an awesome price. This set absolutely will be a winner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iena78 Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 The layout is similar to the Portal of Atlantis which didn't perform well and you can still find it for 60-65 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zskid00 Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Yep, this is already selling for at or above retail on eBay. Since I got all of mine at 50% off I'm looking to flip them in November or December when hopefully the prices spike. Not sure about the long-term prospects of Chima and I don't want to risk holding any to find out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Achilles Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Interesting while perusing Walmarts looking for deals, I am seeing several still have this in their holiday selling planogram - $119.97. Not all, but about half of the Wally's I've visited still have this on the shelf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
