maestro Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 Sold today for $188. I have just one left now. I've never built one so in 2 minds whether to keep or sell. 1 Quote
Darth_Raichu Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 It is firmly holding at around $200 on eBay. Any leaked picture of the new MF will test this bottom very hard 1 Quote

Guest TabbyBoy Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 (edited) If I had any I'd have got shot of them all by now. There's few things more disappointing than than a new/better model on the horizon causing values to nosedive. I'd rather make 200% on the way up than lose 25-50% on the way down. It seems like we have selling windows now and it's all in the timing so don't be too greedy! Edited July 1, 2015 by TabbyBoy Quote
MarleyMoose Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 I have 2 of the 3 I had left. I'm not going to keep one for myself so I may have to list them now. But what if the new one stinks? 1 Quote

I intend to keep one. If the new one stinks... good! If the new one is better. I will open it and build it. Quote
abri123 Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 Depends on if you want to risk it. I sold my last NIB one for £210 last week. Only cost £90 so will do for me... Quote
Alpinemaps Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 Sold today for $188. I have just one left now. I've never built one so in 2 minds whether to keep or sell.I understand your dilemma, so I'll ask you a couple of questions. How much do you love the OT? Is this MF *your* MF?I'm of two minds as well. I have one 7965 left. I was 4 in 1977. This is *my* MF. But my son is 3, and the upcoming MF...that will be his MF. He won't care nearly as much about the OT MF as I do.With that in mind, I kept my last 7965, and plan on building it (someday). And I do plan on getting the new MF, and that one will be for my son and I. Hope that helps. Quote

I'm not a huge Lego Investor. Only have 1 of SSD, R2D2 and now 1 MF 7965.Guess I can always buy one back near the price I sold from from Bricklink etc? Quote

I really wouldn't put too much effort into this set. Sell them and put the money elsewhere. 2 Quote

stephen_rockefeller Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 Who was that idiot MOD that said to dump? Quote
jaisonline Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 Who was that idiot MOD that said to dump? i think it was us because we thought it wasn't truly done late last year. How in the world could lego not keep 7965 at retail while the world waited for TFA refresh lego would have sold tons of them after the last teaser trailer. heck, I made more profit off my used set than my MISB ones since I sold at $140-$150 each.

Val-E Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 It was good advice - made me heaps and no sleepless nights. Keeping one back for posterity is also good, then al bases are covered. Quote

Darth_Raichu Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 Either way it is an interesting case of mob mentality. How many people sold (or hold a couple months ago) just because others said so ? There are so many opinions on this thread. How should one decide which ones are BS and which ones are slightly less BS ? Quote
dcdfan Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 (edited) I'm not a QFLL so I believe there's money to be made for holding them...Not every one will want the new version... Edited July 1, 2015 by dcdfan Quote
Alpinemaps Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 I'm not a QFLL so I believe there's money to be made for holding them...Not every one will want the new version... Just refer back to my earlier post. I won't be picking up a 10179 but if I didn't have a 7965 I'd want it, just for the OT nostalgia. Like I said earlier this is *my* MF. 2 Quote

Sprocket77 Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 Anyone know which bag the minifigures are in for this set? Have a chance of getting one where the only bag opened is the first bag, just want to make sure I get all of the minifigures. Quote

tacsniper Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 So the image of the new MF has been leaked for a few days now, what do you guys think about the resale value of this MF after Sept 4? Quote
