Deeker Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Anyone have any thoughts on these. I have never really done much with the city except for the big stuff. I like this set but the price seems high. I do know people love chips but not sure on these types of ships. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forestgirl27 Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 I also like this set. I just bought two of them when Target had their buy one get the other 40% off and $10.00 off of $75.00 purchase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hepcatpunk Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 I have 4...there have been some pretty good deals on it lately. Think the whole Coast Guard line is top notch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOrcKing Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 I think the track record for the last Coast Guard type Town sets have done well and ships typically gain good results so this among the others should do nicely. Its retail is high but the ship's main hull is one very large piece giving it the ability to actually float on water. There is also a bunch of other large parts in the set contributing to its weight.

MartinP Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 I think that the set will do well in the future. In the past, the 7739 Coast Guard Patrol Boat and Tower is doing well. The set had a MSRP of $59.99 and now the value of the set is almost $120 NIB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
binici Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Couldn't resist! $51.99 was a steal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graffiti600rr Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 I got mine at TRU. They were mis-marked at $64.99 plus I had a couple of $5 off rewards. Super nice set, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exciter1 Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 If you can get them below $50, they will be a solid investment. I love chips too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vincevaughn Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Just built the 7739 old one out of a CL lot. Good build and just awesome looking. Haven't built the new one yet but it looks even better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNH1974 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 I saw one made up as a display set yesterday and it looks like a smart set. But I am cautious about investing in city sets because its a theme I do not know much about. From an investing point of view of course :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttsupra1994 Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 The coast guard is nice, but i think if they make a navy ship model, thay would be even better. Just my 2 cents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNH1974 Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Would be nice but military models are outside the company's remit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From an investing point of view of course It is a good thing that you are cautious with investing in City sets. Even though the theme has a CAGR of 20.22%, a lot of the sets are remade every few years and that devalues the previous sets. For example, a Fire/Police Station are remade about every 2-3 years. Other themes, like Coast Guard, aren't remade as often, and those are the better investments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOrcKing Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 @CB...I can help but wonder where your nickname comes from, are you a female that doesn't wash? ;-)....I'm not touching that with a 20-foot pole.

Tilted Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 My best friend just moved to London (as more and more people flee the country, unfortunately) so I'll have to start paying attention to those deals in the UK.

Guest TabbyBoy Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 I remember you saying you'd had bad experiences using Argos's delivery service, so I've always used their click and collect service. That was an awesome deal you had there with the Wolverine Choppers, 500% gains and 600 quid profit. You can't ask for much more than that out of a deal. I have five that I picked up for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crustybeaver Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 I know Farnham well, Frensham garden centre used to be a goldmine for eBay stock. When David Wheelhouse (from Wheelhouse factory outlet in Hounslow) bought the garden centre, he initially used it to sell his job lots of gardening stuff dirt cheap which is how I got started on eBay. For example, I was buying 50m Hozelock hosepipes for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tilted Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 No, you can call me sir OK, buddy! On a related note, any thoughts on 60015? Grabbed a few at 60% off to flip but now they seem to have vanished from LEGO Shop at Home... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TabbyBoy Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 PMSL you sound like a modern day Del Boy! Fair play to you, sounds like you've got a pretty good business head. So you work in IT right, how the hell do you find the time for this on top? I'm good at time management and I have a good work/Lego balance. I take a break every hour or so hence, I type on here all hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I swear he never sleeps. Which is the reason why there no no good deals left in the UK, he and his 3 wheeler have turned up and nicked them. More serious question though, why are there not any Amazon values for 60014 when it is widely available from Amazon? http://www.amazon.co.uk/LEGO-City-Coast-Guard-60014/dp/B00B06J3FQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1390246437&sr=8-1&keywords=Lego+60014 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
