Penguin´s roller is an exclusive so it could be one that does OK. Exclusive? You mean exclusive to all toy shops? I see it nearly everywhere I go. John Lewis and Smyths have tons of them on shelves and Amazon has them too. It's the best set of the theme and I will buy one to build, not to invest.

Alpinemaps Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Penguin's Roller is also a nice vehicle that may be sought after just for being a nice vehicle.Agreed. My wife saw it in store the other day and made sure to mention that it's nice and we need to own it. Exclusive? You mean exclusive to all toy shops? I see it nearly everywhere I go.

Val-E Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 (edited) SAH exclusive here (for now) and a number of other places, explaining why it was backordered. Edited March 10, 2017 by Val-E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miami Bomb Squad Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 After 6 years serving as a dust collector, I finally sold one! This set has to be one of my all time worst investment picks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have some (besides personal) myself but I didn't have my investment capital built enough to hold larger sets then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hasn't been 6 years but I've Even moved them to a harder to get to storage now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrickLegacy Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 I have some fond memories of this one building it with my little guy. I dropped it down a full flight of stairs once so that was fun. Horrible investment though. I dumped a few to get rid of them years ago. I still have my loose version somewhere... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Raichu Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 So much wisdom hidden in this thread. And I was much snarkier way back when <sigh> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpinemaps Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 I got rid of the one I set aside for personal build over the summer. Thankfully, it was one a BP’er had returned to Amazon and I pulled it out of AMZ Warehouse. That’s the only way I made some decent coin on it. I was happier to get rid of it than build it.
