BrickLegacy Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 (edited) I still have faith in this set. I bought a couple new for $215-225 ea. shipped last month. I'm in no hurry to sell. Hopefully everyone else is though. Edited August 7, 2015 by BrickLegacy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Mack Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 (edited) Patience is advised with this set. People will look back 3-4 years from now and see that it is $500-600 and wish they had a few. Quality set. People need to stop micromanaging and give sets like this some time to increase. I hear the Town Hall is a loser too...

Quality set. People need to stop micromanaging and give sets like this some time to increase. I hear the Town Hall is a loser too...Exatly... I heared stories about the 7784 UCS Batmobile that is was collecting dust on the shelves back then and when it was blown out on a final sale many people bought them to part it out for the black parts. And... look at it now. Even used you can get 150 euro for it now. And that is in Europe of all places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Guapo Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 I traded mine for a complete line of JW now I am wondering if I was looking too short term or maybe made a decent trade.I like that trade for you. Don't forget that those JW sets will go up too. Basically you locked in your profit but still have growth potential. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDarkness Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 It is typical of the investment game... zero patience. Not everything sky rockets like Town Hall and Haunted House.The UCS Imperial Shuttle didn't do a hell of a lot for awhile and now is taking off. My AAs are put aside and being forgotten about as I move on to the next thing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quality set. People need to stop micromanaging and give sets like this some time to increase. I hear the Town Hall is a loser too...Just to state the obvious, the difference between AA and TH is +50% over MSRP vs. +175%. It's a difference worth noting. In spite of a much shorter life for AA, and virtually no opportunities to F5 one after it sold out. I blame the counterfeiting of all the minifigures. For those who think it's silly to worry about Chinese factories churning out licensed figures for a wholesale price of $.25 each, go on... give me another explanation.

Fcbarcelona101 Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Just to state the obvious, the difference between AA and TH is +50% over MSRP vs. +175%. It's a difference worth noting.

For those who think it's silly to worry about Chinese factories churning out licensed figures for a wholesale price of $.25 each, go on... give me another explanation.For the record, I agree that counterfeiting ultimately dilutes the brand and it's something to monitor.Having said that, I don't think that the typical customer buying secondary market sets is willing to sacrifice quality for price. If someone is willing to spend a couple hundred $$ for a set it is because they have an appreciation for the brand. I just don't think they would go for counterfeit figures.Hopefully I understood your comment correctly, otherwise what I just wrote makes no sense lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
labfreak7 Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Counterfeits do hurt, but having the whole play set with the vehicle is much nicer than just minifigs. The difference is that the price is driven by adults- AFOL's needing that drab boring looking town hall ( hating cuz I don't have any) to complete their cities that they have created. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcdfan Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 TH? TH shouldn't even be in the same sentence with AA. Sorry, it's not a TH by any stretch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Mack Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 TH? TH shouldn't even be in the same sentence with AA. Sorry, it's not a TH by any stretch.The point was that some people were down on the Town Hall last week when it leveled off in price. Rarely is a set straight up. There are peaks and valleys and plateaus. The AA is a quality set that will appreciate well given time. The counterfeits could hurt the set though, but not as much as other Superhero sets. I like the Superhero sets but most are only valuable because of their mini figures. Take that away and you have a very average set in most cases. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Val-E Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 There were 12 bidders all the same and Aug isn´t affecting HH, SSD etc etc. Not a good outlook at all for this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ciglione Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Yikes one set went low, AA is a dud, everyone dump it Even better... we all should gather and sacrifice our stash of this set to Legod. We can burn them all together in a ritual. p.s. You can start without me... I will be a bit later 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Val-E Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 (edited) Yikes one set went low, AA is a dud, everyone dump it Above 220 euros no one is biting so it may well come to that! You know a set has it hard to be a winner when it can still be found in shops for retail so long after retirement and from 2014 those are WVM, SC and this one. Hopefully in the US things are rosier....... Edited August 23, 2015 by valenciaeric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hendrikdejager Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 I am actually selling this set for €210 each lately. If any resellers in The Netherlands wants to invest at that price, let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
