Ciglione Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 Over here in my area (Netherlands and Belgium) it is on sale for 99.99 euro. I bought two. And I will keep it that. Only if I see them for less than 100 euro I will buy more maybe. Quote
DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 Retiring soon doesn't matter - the set is gone. Its doing nicely so far as well. Quote
33Lego Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 Retiring soon doesn't matter - the set is gone. Its doing nicely so far as well. yup 160$ on ebay for some sold items. Quote
Jimbo1470 Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 I bought one 4 months ago from a guy on craigslist. 45 new in the box. great set Sent from my iPhone using Brickpicker Quote
BrickLegacy Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 I'm hoping to hold onto these until Christmas 2015. Hoping the price hits $300 then. Quote
comicblast Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 I'm hoping to hold onto these until Christmas 2015. Hoping the price hits $300 then. I think $220 is a more accurate estimate. $300 is a bit high, IMO. It's hard to compare this set with the old Jabba's Palace or any number of old Lego sets. Quote

It's hard to compare this set with the old Jabba's Palace or any number of old Lego sets. I'm hoping for Star Wars fever around that time. There will be new SW LEGO sets but this one should be iconic from the OT. Plus, it's shelf life was cut short, hopefully limiting the supply in investors hands. Time will tell. This is the most I'm invested in for a large, non-exclusive set so naturally I'm a little bullish. Sent from my iPhone using Brickpicker Quote
seapotato Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 I dont think the shelf life was cut short? Wasn't it out for the normal 2 years? Quote
legopocalypse Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 I'd be surpised if it hits $300 by then too. It's availability was: United States / Canada 23 Jul 12 - 04 Mar 14 United Kingdom 02 Jun 12 - 26 Dec 13 1 Quote

redghostx Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 I am going to acquire some Rancor Pits but I unfortunately sold most of my Jabba's Palace sets for a nice profit when they were on a big sale. The question that I have is does anyone think it is worth it to acquire more Jabba's Palace sets at $150 or should I move on to other sets. What do we think the Palace top end price will be in 2 years? Move on to other sets. Why spend $150 on a Jabba's Palace when you can buy a Grand Emporium, Haunted House or other exclusives in the same price range. 1 Quote
anolian Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 Hi all, There is a local shop in my city that carries all kinds of retired lego sets. One of them is Lego 9516 Jabba's Palace. I know this set is hard to find and has been steadily increasing in value since it was retired. The only issue is it is a full retail price and this place never has sales. So is this set a good investment even tho it is at full retail price. Do you think it will keep on increasing in value as time goes on? I was thinking of either buying it and selling it around x-mas or holding on to it for a while? Thanks Quote
Dr. Brick Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 Yep, I would stock up on these for the upcoming Holiday season Quote
marcandre Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 I would buy at retail at this point. It still could be a while on this set though. 2015 xmas may be better. Quote
Huskers1236 Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 For Canada that $149.99 buy in. Buying at that price is going to mean you're going to need to hold for a while to make much money. You'll have to remember that a lot of folks got this in the $80/90 range(in the US) and will be willing to sell in the $150 range to make some decent money and move on, stagnating the market where you bought in. I'm not saying don't buy it, just be aware that at that price point you'll need to hold for a bit to get the desired return back out of it. Quote
lego rules Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 For personal....buy. For investment.....pass. Quote
naf Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 I would definitely buy them up, don't sell until next year at least. Quote
