Guest TabbyBoy Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 It's a shame that this never really "took-off" in the UK as it a fantastic build and display piece. Luckily, I got mine for £39.99 each and offloaded for around £100 posted, I'd have lost out if I bought them at the RRP of £79.99. It's been retired a while so I don't hold out too much hope for it now. It's probably just me but, I've never seen the LEGO aftermarket as quiet as it has been over the last 3-4 months. Especially with fantastic sets that should've been "sure-thing" winners. Negative thoughts? No, it's a fact ;-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huskers1236 Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 This set has been a major disappointment. Sitting on a few of these still and they just won't budge. Never envisioned a home run with this one but to not even reach 2x RRP has been very frustrating. I will build one of them eventually, but haven't gotten around to it yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordoflego Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Just the other day I mentioned to somebody that that's one of my regrets, glad I only have one. Beautiful set though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I foresee the same fate for the similarly coloured Mini. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ma-gic Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 It's a coincidence this popped up as I'm looking to trade a 10215 for this. Both NISB. Deal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Val-E Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Essential video for fans of this set. Also very interesting for those interested in the design process in general. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fantomas007 Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 This is one of the most wonderfull sets and Jamie did great job. On the other hand, its performance after EOL is one of my biggest disappointment in investment - 2.5 years after EOL and can be bought in bricklink for EUR 107 - just EUR 17 more than RRP ?!? WTF???

Val-E Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 I found the following points he made interesting: Lego do read the main fan forums He tries to avoid stickers on D2C sets. They have a different view on remakes for Star Wars than other D2C sets. The design process is quite short for most Creator sets. The SC was a plan C as 2 other proposed sets got cancelled. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TabbyBoy Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 I’ve got one left and not selling it at the current low price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandyHand Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 (edited) Two years ago almost by the day (early October 2015) I bought two boxes of 10226 from @mauro23 through eBay. It was a bit of an accident actually, because I only wanted one, but made bids on two different auctions on eBay and won both auctions. Then it came out they were mauro's and his girlfriend's accounts, so he offered to send them together to save shipping costs. I still have both boxes stored away, but will eventually build one of them when I some day get to it. The other one ... well, I'm not in a hurry to get rid of it.
