kerrmando Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Hey guys, We've sold 25 Dolphin cruisers in the past four days. Our asking price was first 79.99 then 89.99. I'm posting this because if you have the opportunity to buy dolphin cruisers at a local store. (TRU, etc) then I would highly suggest you do (especially with the bogo right now at TRU). You'd be getting them somewhere around 50 bucks each at TRU. By this weekend I think it will be selling for over 100 dollars on eBay. Also Lego Reps I've talked to have said it's a "Released" item. A released item does not get restocked in stores. It may be restocked after Christmas, but indications are pointing that it also has a chance to not be. Either way its an amazing buy, even for flipping right now! Good luck! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quacs Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Completely agreed - this is a set that deserves to be owned (at a discount of course). Scour your local TRUs for this set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hepcatpunk Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 I noticed this yesterday in going over my list of things to sell this X-mas....some of these have sold $90+. Most of mine purchased have come from B&****** lately at right around $38-$40. Will wait for that $100 mark. This and Architecture Studio will both do well this season methinks.

lowillsw Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 My old lady build it herself and it's quite a great build. I'm currently remodeling it to look like the "Mo-money Mo-Problem video" with a jacuzzi in it. Hopefully the rapper I'll repaint with that guy mini-doll doesn't look like an actor from "Birth of a Nation." This set is getting increasingly hard-to-find in store. It looks like it's going to be a winner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sauromosis Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 So it's going to have a release window less than 6 months??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exciter1 Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 So it's going to have a release window less than 6 months??? I very seriously doubt it. It will more than likely be around into 2015. This is my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcandre Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 So it's going to have a release window less than 6 months??? You can still order it on LEGO Shop at Home with a 30 day wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exciter1 Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Well, I'm off to do a store pickup on 5 Heartlake Vets and 4 Heartlake Stables at a Wal-Mart about 30 min away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaredseiders Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 There aren't many of the larger Friends sets that aren't selling for close to double now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quacs Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 I have one reserved at a local B&N for $70, but I'm lacking a B&N coupon. Anyone know of any upcoming sales at B&N? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comicblast Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Agreed. In case there are any doubters, 38 copies of the Dolphin Cruiser have sold today alone. That's 2.2 sets per hour, 53 a day, and 370 a week! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenchu2000 Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 I told you guys, stock up...lucky me ( or smart) I did....got 35....I will be rich, lol. Good for you. It wouldn't matter for me anyway, because if I had put the money into this Friends Cruiser, I would not have enough budget to get the deals from Target/TRU/Amazon the past couple of days. Can't be perfect! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akohns Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 I didn't buy any either. One person (or dozens) can't buy everything! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
