stephen_rockefeller Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 This is a long term set for sure, the window for flipping this is closed IMO......make no mistake this will be a huge winner in a couple of years so in don't see anything wrong with paying retail for a few. I mean if in two years its worth 350, does it really matter if you paid retail for it or not??? Quote
stephen_rockefeller Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 Dfw guys, legoland in grapevine mills had like 8-10 on the shelf. All in perfect condition. $120 but you can get 10% off. Not for me, but figured I'd share.How do you get 10% off?? Quote
blueremains Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 I have a feeling that this set will only be available at LEGO and Amazon. It seems as though the big box stores want to stay away from any sort of controversy. Walmart and TRU went as far as wiping their website clean of any record of this set. I guess it is completely understandable from a business perspective for them. Why would they risk losing customers over a LEGO set, regardless of how unfounded the accusations are? The only question now is will Amazon ever sell this set below retail again? Quote
stephen_rockefeller Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 I doubt it.......amazon knows that it will move pretty fast at retail. Quote
blueremains Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 How do you get 10% off?? Maybe he means the 2x VIP points? That equates to about 10%, but on the next purchase, not the current one. Quote

abri123 Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 In UK, this set has shot back up in price. RRP was Quote
stephen_rockefeller Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 So I thought at first LEGO said they were gonna EOL this sometime in 2014.......most of the articles I have seen said end of 2013. Quote

Fcbarcelona101 Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 So I thought at first LEGO said they were gonna EOL this sometime in 2014.......most of the articles I have seen said end of 2013. Could this mean that they will end production in late 2013 but expect it to be on the shelves until early 2014? Quote
cflannagan Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 Could this mean that they will end production in late 2013 but expect it to be on the shelves until early 2014? I interpreted the '2014' usage to mean there'll be no production of the set in 2014, nothing more than that. Realistically, yes it's still going to be on shelves in early 2014. But if the quotes are accurate, then they're in fact ending production run at end of 2013 (therefore no production runs in 2014), see here: http://newsfeed.time.com/2013/04/03/lego-were-scrapping-star-wars-toy-but-not-because-of-muslim-backlash/?hpt=hp_c3 Quote
kerrmando Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 I'm surprised Amazon didn't jack their prices up even a couple dollars when the run was going on. Quote
kerrmando Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 I honestly hope (just to mix things up) that Lego doesn't restock these, and that they are all gone from regular retailers in the next couple months. That could be a fun increase for us. Quote

kerrmando Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 I hope they don't resupply or restock the big box retailers Quote
Huskers1236 Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 I'm now even seeing local craigslist ads claiming this set is "discontinued and banned". It gave me a laugh. But whatever causes some hysteria over this set is fine with me, I've got a few that I'd be more than happy selling this next Christmas when they're BANNED!!! Quote
Highlander Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 I have used John Lewis and the legos were packaged very good,they arrived mint. Quote
abri123 Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 I have used John Lewis and the legos were packaged very good,they arrived mint. Do they use polythene/black plastic bags like the supermarkets, or were they boxed? Quote

Haha yep, they will be worth even more by then, or even by Christmas 2014! Quote
