minicoopers11 Posted July 5, 2014 Posted July 5, 2014 Was fortunate enough to have family buy it off taobao for me. I stupidly missed the memo about it being limited and only bought one. Oh well! Quote
Ranion Posted July 5, 2014 Posted July 5, 2014 I just got mine in the mail after getting snagged in customs. I'm not even going to say how much it ended up costing after shipping... Quote
stephen_rockefeller Posted August 7, 2014 Posted August 7, 2014 Just witnessed a marina sands with shelf wear NIB go auction style for 385.00 plus 30.00 shipping. Holy cow!! Quote
Jojoyojimbi Posted August 7, 2014 Posted August 7, 2014 Just witnessed a marina sands with shelf wear NIB go auction style for 385.00 plus 30.00 shipping. Holy cow!! that's what happens when lego puts the words "limited edition" on a box and only makes 10k of them Quote
Pseudoty Posted August 7, 2014 Posted August 7, 2014 Just witnessed a marina sands with shelf wear NIB go auction style for 385.00 plus 30.00 shipping. Holy cow!! The last two BIN went for $399. I remember last Xmas there was a guy with 3 cases of 10 sets and he was selling them for $160/set shipped, but at that time there were still rumors of a US release. So at that time this would be a good example of buying a post EOL set with room for growth. Also when people say there is a limit to what someone will pay for a box of bricks. There are a lot of AFOLs with money that are completist when it comes to the Arch sets. I think they want them sealed in the box though with no plan on building them. So this set will be displayed in homes and offices in the box with the "limited Edition" badge I will see if and how much my Used auction one sells Sunday night it has 8 watchers as of now. Quote

I must admit that one of those watchers is me, and in have no intention of buying, just curious. 1 Quote

river41 Posted August 7, 2014 Posted August 7, 2014 why does the retail price on the bp page say it retailed for 0.00 that must be a mistake Quote
minicoopers11 Posted August 7, 2014 Posted August 7, 2014 I'm not sure anyone knows? I got it for about US$60. Quote

Pseudoty Posted August 11, 2014 Posted August 11, 2014 Ummm they were thrown in the trash at the airport to fit in the lady's handbag bringing it back to the US Quote
TheDarkness Posted August 11, 2014 Posted August 11, 2014 Ummm they were thrown in the trash at the airport to fit in the lady's handbag bringing it back to the US Like throwing away good money Quote

Ed Mack Posted August 11, 2014 Posted August 11, 2014 The Trevi Fountain is another sure fire winner. Great set. The box is as heavy as a brick. Sent from my iPad using Brickpicker Quote

stephen_rockefeller Posted August 11, 2014 Posted August 11, 2014 The instructions for the set must be the same size as the ones for the 10179, that's the only way I could see someone throwing away instructions to safe space :) 1 Quote
