The only two IST I ever saw was ages ago and they were snagged instantly. By me. Whaa? Could you tell where? I haven't seen these at retail outlets since last year (or was it early this year)! And are they at retail or less? Edited August 2, 2016 by ED-209 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just cant bring myself to pull the trigger. Run far, far away. Chima will lead to heartache. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Run far, far away. Chima will lead to heartache.Yeah Chima generally lead to heartache over here. But the exception is if you are building for yourself and not reselling....then it is a worthy pack for minifigure boost in your displayed sets. works out to be $2 a minifigure plus some bricks. $10 didn't tempt me....probably $8 will....if i see them in my local big w....if not nah....not going to bother.

Same can be said for the Pirate Chess set, they have a multitude of minifigures that can instantly boost either side's army. It's a pity that the pirate theme didn't last longer as the chess set could have easily been a winner due to the sheer number of figs it contains.

whoisbiggles Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 haha, I bought one chima set at a Big W clearance (50% off), Razcals Glider 70000, how could I possibly go wrong? Finally sell it two years later, and clear a profit after all expenses - the princely sum of $0.11. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFFOL Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Hello Alcuard 1982, how are the studies :P. Yes, I am still alive. What have I missed out on. I have just done a stock take of my gear, found a few of the exclusives still have not moved in price over the last year. Anyway, the rest has made up for it. So what is the current go. I have just taken a look at the shelves in my local stores and really don't see anything spec. apart from Dr Who and a couple of arch. stuff.

Fingers crossed I grabbed only two for this very reason (market saturation), however they shouldn't be a problem to flip at Christmas. I managed to grab two of the Ninjango Mech sets as well, I'll see how they go, I can always bombard my son with Ninjango if needed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had feared the worst Not really any stand worthy sets this year unfortunately (others would disagree), but nothing that I have had to buy at full RRP.
