Sandwraith Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 Neat idea! i may need to consider this myself... Quote
Dennan Posted March 17, 2014 Posted March 17, 2014 Found another one.. http://imgur.com/a/wAVkb It's small, there are even photo's next to the petshop. 1 Quote
TheOrcKing Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 The thought had occurred to me in trying to modularize the Arkham Asylum Breakout but when I glanced over all the included parts, I did not see enough for a potential modular house style build as is. I think the potential is there but it would need a bit more than just what was included in the set (besides a baseplate). Still I love a good challenge; perhaps I can figure something out digitally one of these days. I do like the design in this link Dennan posted. Quote
Piece_Out_Studios Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 I have yet to get this set for personal collection or investment purposes. It's currently listed as "Out of Stock, expected ship date April 7". Is this a sign of EOL coming by the end of this year? Quote
zskid00 Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 It will be back in stock in a week. maybe sooner. Probably not a sign of EOL. This has only been out 15 months so, no, I don't see it retiring yet. I would even be surprised if it's gone by the end of the year. Quote
stephen_rockefeller Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 Doubtful, but I am a huge advocate of not waiting until the last minute to pick up sets. Doesn't hurt to stock up now. Quote
beartrapper Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 The current walmart deal is marginally more attractive to me than the lego double points option. Quote
jaisonline Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 It debuted in early Jan 2013. It will be around in 2014 and 2015. while i have zero inside knowledge, i would bet this set is easily on a 24 to 30 month cycle. it's way too popular like the batcave. 1 Quote
@rtisan Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 It`s highly unlikely that a set like this will retire anytime soon, that`s making an educated prediction based on the life cycle of other set. jaisonline pretty much has got it, and I 100% agree Although like others hae said, it never hurts to stock up early if you can afford to. It debuted in early Jan 2013. It will be around in 2014 and 2015. while i have zero inside knowledge, i would bet this set is easily on a 24 to 30 month cycle. it's way too popular like the batcave. That`s about it! 1 Quote
glenbart Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 Will probably be around at least till the end of 2015 when the license expires or maybe longer if it's rolls on. Quote
naf Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 If you're in the position to stock up from a financial and storage standpoint, there really isn't a bad time to pick up any exclusive, including Arkham. Double VIP points is going to be the best discount you can get on them, which starts tomorrow. Myself, i'm a smaller investor/collector and can't afford to have my money tied up in a set like this for a long time, and I don't have the space to store it, so I'm going to take my chances and pick some up when it gets closer to it's "expected" retirement. Most of these exclusives seem to be around for at least 3 years, sometimes more (see Live Star). Arkham isn't going anywhere for a few years, so plan accordingly according to your own investment strategy. 1 Quote
jaisonline Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 i just built this set with my some yesterday after buying some as an investment. at the $160 price point, the set seems small but the play value, looks, and build details of the set are AWESOME. just wish it was bigger (e.g. having another tower that contains jail cells). i might need to expand the set. i have no idea if 10937 is on a 2 or 3 year retail life-cycle. nevertheless, i highly recommend buying some to those w/o any. ...and if you want a fun set for your child, this is great.

mscheaf Posted September 23, 2014 Posted September 23, 2014 Have you tried to buy the aa with the gc from Wal-Mart? I haven't been able to and 4 other people I know where not able too. It says it can't ship to your zip no matter what zip you enter Quote

brick_slayer Posted September 23, 2014 Posted September 23, 2014 Missing HH isn't that bad. It was available with an eGift on Walmart earlier this year. Now turn your attention to the AA, another egift card there. Get it while it lasts. Those who were smart in stock piling the HH are probably the same ones sniffing at the AA like hounds. The AA will miraculously disappear next year the same way the SSD and HH did. How does the gift card with AA work? I'm sure I'm missing something but I just went to the Walmart site and didn't see any promo like that Quote
No More Monkeys Posted September 23, 2014 Posted September 23, 2014 How does the gift card with AA work?

To help maintain a certain amount of predictability in stock levels. Quote
Miami Bomb Squad Posted September 23, 2014 Posted September 23, 2014 I'm getting the idea that these limits are put in place for the holidays. To help maintain a certain amount of predictability in stock levels. I agree, its like limit 2 for almost every collectable sets. Quote
