speedsausage Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 Did a Pin just dropped? Lol. I guess that idea was the elephant in the room. Ah well. Quote
Ed Mack Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 I was not a believer in this set until I took a close look at the box a few months back. It is a gorgeous box. Great minifigures. A cool building. It displays and plays well. Quote
Crustybeaver Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 The Bat Cave hasn't exactly been pulling up trees here in EU since EOL. I think I'll be swerving this one. Probably better options out there. I'm going to disagree with you here. Most bought Batcaves at Quote
trekgate502 Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 I have some, I wanted to have it last until Thanksgiving weekend for the set 2 of 2. Along with everything else that goes away early I will go ahead and place my orders. Quote

A cool building. It displays and plays well. yeah, a great build also. my 5 year old loves it. just wish it was bigger. it is very easy to add another wing or two by getting a used set (or even partial one). nevertheless, it should do very well after retirement.

Miami Bomb Squad Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 Mack, Stray away from this thread until I get 20 more. Thank You! 2 Quote
trekgate502 Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 We need a post from mscheaf then we will know that it is going to go out of stock everywhere shortly. (actually it is just at LEGO Shop at Home with limit 2 so not sure it will happen that quick). 2 Quote

ravenb99 Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 Mine has been out for a while but I have raven99 and fogelbaby in my city.. who me? lol... unfortunately we have a lot of exporters in our area too! 1 Quote
GhostDad Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 I have a theory on the TRU exclusives like 6857. Notably, that non-TRU sellers get discouraged by TRU's presence in the market, which they see as a bottomless well of inventory. So they give up and undercut TRU by a couple dollars, just to be done with it and move on. This delays the day when TRU actually sells out. But once TRU is sold out, my feeling is the set will quickly climb in price, as a huge amount of hoarded inventory has already been sold by impatient resellers. That's if counterfeit figures don't ruin 6857, but that's a separate issue. I think counterfeiting is less of an issue with 10937, but you never know. As a reseller, you always have to keep one eye on China. Quote

I get the concern with Chinese fakes, but I sold 3x Wolverine 6866 for $95 each last week despite the fact that there is a decool perfect copy of the entire set all over the place. I think that most people ready to drop the money on a retired set are smart enough to know the difference in quality over the knock off. Quote
BrickLegacy Posted November 15, 2014 Posted November 15, 2014 Asylum is back at Amazon if anyone cares (it was previously under review). Use those affiliate links if you decide to snag one or two. Quote

GhostDad Posted November 15, 2014 Posted November 15, 2014 No, but it looks 'serious' unlike Batcave. I liked the first Batcave. The new one just looks too cartooney. AA has a sweet gothic look, kind of like a HH that hasn't started falling apart. Quote
denosya Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 The set AA 10937 is at -15% for Brick Friday tomorrow on lego.fr (at least). Maybe it is a sign from the gods of EOL... Quote
dubzero Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 What is anyones take on AA after it retires, whenever that is. When I look at ebay it seems like there is a lot more sellers of AA than TH or R2. I know it can have a completely different customer base. I am trying to figure out how excited to be about this set. TH yes R2 yes HH yes Tumbler whenever it goes yes But this one? I do not see people foaming at the mouth "on brickpicker" about loving this set. Are there true AA believers out there? The set is really cool. Batman fans are diehard. How is that not a winner? ;) Quote

dubzero Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 who me? lol... unfortunately we have a lot of exporters in our area too! I am convinced I would have an easier time buying near EOL exclusives in Brazil than here. :) Quote
mudcatsfan Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 I took a look at the previous AA set from a few years ago, and this one BLOWS it out of the water. I think this one will be a winner, even with the threat of counterfeit figures slightly devaluing the set. Although, if you were a collector & hypothetically going to pay $400 for this set, 2 years from now, i dont think 99 cent reproduction figures will satisfy you. 1 Quote

I'm not a fan of the fakes for any reason, but I wholeheartedly agree: counterfeits are not for collectors. Those buyer pools don't touch. Quote

denosya Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 And... Out of stock. Maybe another sign. Or at least, another confirmation the set is popular. Quote
