ausleigh Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 Hey All, Shooting out a request to the more knowledgeable on here about Dino set 5886 (T-Rex Hunter). in Australia this retailed at $99.99, and I can get a couple at 20% off. eBay tends to indicate after fees I'd not pull in much of a profit, but does anyone see this as having good longer term growth? With the line now done, I wonder what future interest there generally is for such? Thanks in advance for your input. Quote
TheDarkness Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 I'd get them if I knew where they were available Quote
ausleigh Posted October 6, 2013 Author Posted October 6, 2013 If it makes you happy, this is in a store, not online. So you're well outta luck anyway. But thanks for the tip. I trust your call, so will pick 'em up. Presumably they would be a keeper for the moment? Quote
TheDarkness Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 The ebay sales for it aren't too flash right now, but I expect them to improve. I picked mine up from Big W when they were clearing them out at $60. Quote
DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 Get them. This set is money. Look at the two dino sets with Trex's in them. This set is just not easy to find now and the trex alone is worth 50 or 60$. I think long term it will be a $150 set. Quote
StompingFreak Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 Well worth a punt. I own 2 full sets of these. I think its a long team investment. The dino's are really impressive. Stomping Quote
DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 What the dino defense set is doing is just stupid. serious domination. 5887 Quote

This set is just not easy to find now and the trex alone is worth 50 or 60$. I think long term it will be a $150 set. How long term are you thinking? 3, 4 years? Quote
StompingFreak Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 How long term are you thinking? 3, 4 years? 2-3 yrs I would say. The Dino's are the really sales pitch for these sets. The buildings, vehicles, are nice, but no big thing. Stomping Quote
DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 How long term are you thinking? 3, 4 years? Yeah 2-3. It went up 45% this past year - just doing 25% for the next two years puts it at $140ish. More the reason is the Trex. only other way to get the awesome Trex (and its a different one) is Dino Defence which is on the fast track to being a $250 set. I think that will really raise the value of this set when Dino Defense starts to hit those really high numbers because it makes this set seem like a better value. Could be wrong - but I have always loved this set as an investment. These retired right as I got into Lego investing. I wasn't ready to dive in, so I didn't buy too many of them. But it was the second one I said "thats a definite winner" right after 5887 (which is enjoying 90% CAGR). Quote

Agree all the way mate. Stomping Quote
hepcatpunk Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 T-Rexes will always be popular and this one (along w/ the Dino Defense version) are the best versions yet---bullish all the way. Quote

Stomping Lol I am not going to argue with Sex God, but I only post about the things I hit on. Which is why I don't post things much. Lol Quote
krayzie Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 I saw a lego dino triceratops trapper 5885 at TRU yesterday. $69.99 and the box had tape applied to the sides as the box apparently came apart. If only it was one lego set number higher... I could have a t-rex terrorizing Helms Deep. Quote

But I don't play with my legos... so you know. Quote
shootyb Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 A gift shop/newsstand at the Orlando airport had four of these for $79.99/ea. I didn't want to add to my carry-on luggage. Quote

Yeah 80$ is not that great unless you want to build it. As a built set, its not amazing - but that T-rex is straight up money. I have seriously considered grabbing a few more of the dinosaur just to make a bigger set up. They are awesome. Quote
TheFlo Posted February 9, 2019 Posted February 9, 2019 I have a LEGO DINO 5886 T-Rex Hunter and I would like to know what are the differences between the 2 numbers of the back of the building instructions (6002941 and 6002942). How important is this difference between those two thank you Quote
iahawks550 Posted February 9, 2019 Posted February 9, 2019 Are those the numbers for book 1 and book 2? Quote
