njseale Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 This one really did disappear in a hurry. Less than a month you could get them anywhere now they are nowhere to be found. Amazing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDarkness Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 This one really did disappear in a hurry. Less than a month you could get them anywhere now they are nowhere to be found. Amazing The warning signs were there though. Cap disappearing quickly was a great precedent. The UK retirement in the leadup to the Christmas rush. The panic for the first wave of Super Heroes is well and truly setting in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDarkness Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Darkness, what do you think the cap is on this set (6866) - $50-$75? I expect to see a quick spike in it like we did with the Cap sets. I imagine they will hit that $40-50 mark fairly comfortably and settle for awhile before pushing higher though that depends on what Lego will do with the licence. The intriguing thing is seemingly no further X-Men sets on the immediate horizon. It is odd that they haven't at least made one more set coming through yet, and there isn't even a whiff of another one. Days of Future Past is released in May and one would have thought releasing an X-Men set to coincide with that would make sense. I don't believe this is a one and done licence, but who knows?

Msudawgs56 Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 This is odd, Entertainment Earth has Captain America set 6865 coming back into stock in January. Price 12.99. Selling it now and will ship when they come in. http://www.entertainmentearth.com/prodinfo.asp?number=LG6865 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doofy McGee Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 6868 Hulk also has preorder. Whats going on here? I am very skeptical and would be reluctant to take a crack at this. I don't know anything about Entertainment Earth, but these sets are still retired and 6865 is long gone from everywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doofy McGee Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 By the way... did everybody see the news blurb with the pics of the the new Captain America, Hydra, and Red Skull minifigs? There is no further information about the set or when it is slated to come out, but it appears to be pretty reliable info from the Brick Fan.

I don't know anything about Entertainment Earth, but these sets are still retired and 6865 is long gone from everywhere. Considering they are a distributor, they have access to liquidators. I'll leave it for others to take a crack at it. I have enoug Lego for a while with all these sales in the past few months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich B Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Good time to pick those 2 sets up for those that missed out, assuming they are legit. I've never hear of them, but it looks like they have an eBay store as well. Who knows though. Anyone ever ordered from them before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich B Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 For what it's worth, it looks like they're on Amazon as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mos_Eisley Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 They are definitely a legit seller. Who knows if they'll really get all these preorders they have up but it's worth a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doofy McGee Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 I wonder if they set up these pre-orders a while back and just haven't updated things since these sets retired. Stuff like that happens... I will be curious to hear if anybody takes a crack at it and what the outcome is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deez_Brickz Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 I ordered 10 x 6866 from walmart when they came on line on monday for ~$16. Two orders of 5 each with ship to store. I just got emails today that they are on backorder and will be cancelled in 10 days. Anyone else get this notice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich B Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 I placed an order for 50 6866's from Entertainment Earth, I doubt they'll ship though........LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legodog Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 It looks like there are many sets on Entertainment Earth that state they are "Coming January 2014". Even sets that are retired already so I doubt they will actually ship any of these. http://www.entertainmentearth.com/hitlist.asp?searchfield=lego&onform=1&eeshop=&x=0&y=0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackson Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 I have Entertainment Earth LEGO orders from August that are still pending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowillsw Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Was your cc charged or limit held while your order is pending? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich B Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Yeah Legodog, they will probably never ship. I received conformation that my order had been placed and that my cc would not be charged until the items were in stock and being prepared for shipment. As I said they'll probably never ship, but since my cc won't be charged until they receive them, then worst case scenario it's nothing lost, nothing gained.

I definitely agree with you that it never hurts to try. I did the same thing with the MF Zombies set last year. I thought they wouldn't ship but ordered just in case and I ended up getting 4 of them (it was from somewhere other than Entertainment Earth but same idea).
