fendiixx Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 Sorry if this is already known but I emailed Lego about this yesterday and today it's been marked as a retired product in the UK. http://shop.lego.com/en-GB/Wolverine-s-Chopper-Showdown-6866 Hopefully everyone has stocked up well on these as I can see demand for the mini figures being very high in the future :) Quote
TheDarkness Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 Wow. I have had great success flipping this at retail lately. There aren't any X-Men sets in the first wave of Super Heroes next year, so this one will do well. Hopefully will pick up a quick turn around in profit like the Captain America sets. Quote
JoshTX Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 Maybe I'm being overly optimistic, but if it isn't re-released in another set, I could see the Deadpool figure going for 15-20 bucks or more by itself. Quote
matt1147 Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 Anyone see new x men trailer?!? lol looks awesome!! Hoping some new men sets come out! Quote
lowillsw Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 Same as US LEGO Shop at Home. Over or under it'll be all gone on Amazon by the end of tonight? 1 Quote

Wolverine will most likely be out again, Magneto probably, Deadpool nope. Just my guessing. If so dead boy may even go higher Quote
Jackson Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 Same as US LEGO Shop at Home. Over or under it'll be all gone on Amazon by the end of tonight? I see "Available Now" on US LEGO Shop at Home: http://shop.lego.com/en-US/Wolverine-s-Chopper-Showdown-6866 Quote

If so dead boy may even go higher Yeah, I'm expecting to see Wolverine and probably Magneto again, but Deadpool is a toss-up. It could depend on whether that Deadpool movie is ever actually released or not. Quote
Guest brickcrazyhouse Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 If deadpool does get a movie, I'll be out front of the movie theater dressed up like the SW fans. But the movie,if done right, may put LEGO off with all the violence. Quote
lowillsw Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 I see "Available Now" on US LEGO Shop at Home: http://shop.lego.com/en-US/Wolverine-s-Chopper-Showdown-6866 False Alarm...I got the American Flag while I was in the British Page...Sorry. Regardless, time to back up the truck one more time even though it was 13.60 at Target and Amazon last month. Quote
sadowsk1 Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 Looks like there is still plenty for all here in the US. I have doubts this set will make it to 30 in two years. Quote
willy431 Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 It will easily be $30 next Christmas. Have 50, just bought another 10 (2 accounts) I have the same amount of captains, cat woman's, freeze, and the spider/ venom sets. These, like funhouse are ridiculous cheap and super value for money. Stock up! Just the 3 figs are worth the price. Throw in the neat helicopter, instructions and sealed box post retirement---easy 30 bucks next year--post fees and shipping. Guaranteed. Still a small profit in reality per unit...but easy to ship and store. I plan to bundle them with the other super heroes that are retired next Christmas for an easy double. 1 Quote
Jackson Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 I think once this set retires and retailers go out of stock, it will hit $30 quickly. Quote
fendiixx Posted October 30, 2013 Author Posted October 30, 2013 Looks like there is still plenty for all here in the US. I have doubts this set will make it to 30 in two years. Well I imagine since it's gone here now it should shortly follow in the US. Unless they plan to re-release the mini figures I can't see any reason why it will struggle to hit 30+ Quote
lowillsw Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 Disney just need to pump these Marvel Superheroes like it's Micky Mouse and the Princesses. This is just the start. Buying with both hands in. Quote
TheDarkness Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 Maybe I'm being overly optimistic, but if it isn't re-released in another set, I could see the Deadpool figure going for 15-20 bucks or more by itself. I don't think that is overly optimistic at all. Looks like there is still plenty for all here in the US. I have doubts this set will make it to 30 in two years. I can't speak for your market, but I think it will cruise past full retail price easily. I doubt it will make me the 200%+ returns the Cap set has, but I am very bullish on it. Quote
pins79 Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 I agree with those who are bullish on this set. The Deadpool minifigure will be the driving force behind this set, assuming it's not re-released in another set. Since retail is $20 on this one, $30 post-EOL is a very easy conservative target. Most of my stock is in the larger exclusive sets, but I will load up on a few smaller sets if I see a winner. This one, to me, is a definite winner. Quote
binici Posted November 9, 2013 Posted November 9, 2013 I plan on purchasing more, but they are hard to find and now with Deadpool being a really popular character, this set will do really well next year. Quote
MartinP Posted November 9, 2013 Posted November 9, 2013 Still available on LEGO Shop at Home US. Should be retiring soon in the US if it is retired in the UK. Quote
DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted November 9, 2013 Posted November 9, 2013 I plan on purchasing more, but they are hard to find and now with Deadpool being a really popular character, this set will do really well next year. They are on Amazon for 16.00 and it looks like they have over 999 left. I think maybe after christmas they could be gone. I have something like 5-6 but I may try to grab more soon. Quote
kingleonidas Posted November 9, 2013 Posted November 9, 2013 time to grab some for deadpool and wolverine Quote
fendiixx Posted November 9, 2013 Author Posted November 9, 2013 time to grab some for deadpool and wolverine Don't underestimate Magneto Quote
kerrmando Posted November 9, 2013 Posted November 9, 2013 Im hoping the deadpool movie they were talking about in october actually comes to fruition Quote
stackables Posted November 9, 2013 Posted November 9, 2013 Minifig wise, I believe you can't get much better than the 3 figs that come with this set. Quote
DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted November 9, 2013 Posted November 9, 2013 Its about the best part out set of all time (not now because ebay is flooded so figures just sit). When this set was first out, you could gross over $40 for this set parting it out which is insane for a $20 set. Quote
