Achilles Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 This set has been "retired" for quite some time, but Walmart was still selling them online. Just noticed it is listed as OOS on the website. Hopefully this will finally mean the end for this iconic ship at retail price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Heh yeah. Can't see a whole lot of investment value either way though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

@rtisan Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 It`s a good set overall! Horribly long retail life/availability though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akohns Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 I got a used one of these. The build of the land speeder is actually pretty nice. Huge improvement over the 1999 version which was the first Star Wars set I bought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anakinisvader Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 I bought the crap out of these after last Christmas for $12 each and only have a couple left. 5 figs and a ship. Can't go wrong with that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't go wrong with that.Agreed. I don't get how people go gaga over the 'awake' Funhouse Escape yet think this easily recognizable set from the Star Wars universe is a bad buy. It was the most bought up set on eBay last year for anyone that remembers. Honestly, this set offers so much in a convenient little package.

lego89 Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 I also think this set has good intrinsic value. It also doesn't hurt that I bought a bunch at $6 each during a crazy Walmart clearance last year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Funhouse Escape is the low hanging fruit of LEGO investing. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exciter1 Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Yeah the poisoned fruit At $25 - $30 each, you really can't go wrong with the Funhouse. I think I still have 10 Landspeeders I bought for $12.00 each at after Christmas clearance last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 If I were you all I would ell them FBA on Amazon right now - 39.99. Just can't picture this one going up. At $25 - $30 each, you really can't go wrong with the Funhouse. I think I still have 10 Landspeeders I bought for $12.00 each at after Christmas clearance last year. Crap I would just open them all and have a landspeeder battle! I would call it ATTACK OF THE CLONEs!!! You know because there are a bunch of Lukes and Obi Wans and ... C3POs... and R2-D2. And because thats also a Star Wars movie... It was funny to me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Raichu Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 These were on sale for $19.99 a few months ago, sold out, and then came back with vengeance. Will this really be the last we see of this set ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
