varmintt Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 7931...is worth it? First let me start by saying thanks to all the people who share their information on here. I have scored some pretty sweet deals over the past year that I would have otherwise been completely oblivious to, simply by following this site regularly. My question... My wife dragged me to the bookstore today where I killed some time by scouting their LEGO section. Found a couple of these 7931 at 50% off retail. I have no personal interest in this set because these animated clone wars minifig faces give me the creeps but from an investment standpoint I was wondering if I should go back and pick these up. Had I been alone it would have been a no brainer, but my wife is at the end of her rope with my ever expanding LEGO portfolio. I am having to be increasingly stealthy with my acquisitions. Based on the price guide, it looks like I could make 10 bucks per set with a quick flip but not enough to justify the time and gas spent. Any predictions on what this set will be worth in a year or two? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOrcKing Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 By the looks of things, it may hit around $50 sometime next year and possibly hit its own original retail price of $60 a year after that. It isn't that loved of a spaceship which was overpriced to start with and the only thing exclusive here is Shaak Ti. I think so long as her character stays exclusive then this will hold what little of value it does. Either way, you could be looking at a long shaky investment.

There wasn't a great deal of appeal to the set to begin with. Actually, I see Star Wars significantly dropping off and have significantly removed how much I spend on it for any form of investment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

@rtisan Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 I`d pass. Not a very nice ship and few people want it. 50% off is a great discount usually, but honestly, I don`t think it`s enough to justify buying here/in this case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any predictions on what this set will be worth in a year or two? At 50% off, it is good if you want the set for your personal collection. If it is for investing, I would not buy it. I do not think that the set would make enough gains to make a profit on the set considering time and gas spent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
