legotrader Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 ATTENTION COLLECTORS AND INVESTORS:On June 1, 2012, LEGO will be releasing a new version of the SOPWITH CAMEL. The older version, set 3451, did extremely well in the secondary market, increasing almost 200% from MSRP. This set looks much more complicated and accurate. Watch the LEGO 'DESIGN' video. Nice detail. A must have for any investor or collector, so save your pennies for June 1st!Here is the LEGO Press Release:BILLUND, Denmark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timinchicago Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 From all the photos I have seen this looks to be a very nice set that should have strong appeal long after it goes away. Much nicer than the original IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest idunno101 Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 This will probably becom a very popular set especially with the dark green pieces and the functions this plane has. I'm buying it for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuildIT Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 It has to be a buy. Looks like a nice build, and as someone noted it has some rarer coloured pieces. I think a set to put away into storage for the long term. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNH1974 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 On Thursday's post I was debating what to buy this month. As there was nothing really interesting at LEGO Shop at Home even with their free delivery I thought I would cast a wider net and look at Amazon Europe.

Jeff Mack Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I took a look at the data just to make sure some of these listings weren't bad. I removed two so the price will drop a little. They were including bonus items like the mini set or one even included bags of olympic minifigs. I removed them, but overal the prices are accurate for the month.

I was not debating the accuracy of your prices - wouldn't dare The 7 or so listings on Ebay.co,uk bear them out but it is odd that people are prepared to pay more from there when it is cheaper else where, like from Lego themselves. All the Ebay UK listing are Buy it nows, I feel with slow moving sets that an auction can give a more valid idea of what people are prepared to pay for a set. Jeff, does your Ebay data say what were buy it nows and what were auctions. I would be interested how many out of the 117 sales in December were auctions, I would be surprised if it was more than 10-20% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich B Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 This price spike you're seeing is a result of Lego LEGO Shop at Home being out of stock of 10226 during the month of December. As a result those who wanted 10226 for the holiday had to turn to 3rd party eBay sellers and pay more to acquire this set. The same thing happened with 10211 during December. Both sets will slowly decline in price over the next few months, unless of course one of them goes back out of stock again, then it may jump in value like in December.

Jeff Mack Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I was not debating the accuracy of your prices - wouldn't dare Oh, i wasn't saying you were, but I do always look to see when people notice a spike. Since I just ran the update, you never know if some high priced item still got in there messing up the pricing. I just wanted to confirm that the spike indeed looks legit.

CNH1974 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Oh, go on I think an auction price would be lower, as once an auction passes a buy it now price of other item it becomes a bit pointless.

CNH1974 Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Slightly stealing Mahler's topic name here. But has 10226 Sopwith Camel risin above the radar? Now that Ed/Jeff have released the January figures (thanks Gents!) the christmas price spike due to high demand/low stock seems to have been maintained. I was expecting a fall for January but it is staying above LEGO Shop at Home RRP in both the UK and US. The set seems to the readily avaiable in Europe, there is a good dealon Amazon.es Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redeemed763 Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Above the radar? Do you mean is it on the radar? I don't think this set will get much attention until its gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNH1974 Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Yes but that did not sound as good Even I have effectively said a bi-plane is in space. I still don;t understand the pricing though, maybe its a hard to find set in the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grolim Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Not yet I think. When it goes EOL people could see some fireworks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNH1974 Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 It is though, unusual to see a set at a higher price in the US than the UK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redeemed763 Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 You guys are paying less than us? It is $100usd shipped with no tax from amazon, that is the same as $75euro over the pond or about 60pounds, I have not seen this set on sale yet but I haven't seen it over LEGO Shop at Home price except at the usual markup locations such as ToysRus and other Amazon sellers when the main store is out of stock.

cflannagan Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Sopwith Camel has always been on my radar, I just can't seem to find it at a good price. Anyone that sees one, let me know. I think it's just a set that has always been kinda hard to find.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
