tawsauce Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 Not sure if this is old news or not. I noticed today that the imperial shuttle (10212) is gone from the lego home site. Can't wait to see how this turns out over time. Quote

Can't wait to see how this turns out over time. It shows it sold out and retiring soon for me (US market). http://shop.lego.com/en-US/Imperial-Shuttle-10212 Amazon still sells it at 8% off retail price. Quote

That's odd, because if you go under star wars exclusive lego, it does not have the imperial shuttle anymore. It was on the sales tab too and it is not there anymore. Quote
Miro78 Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 Lego shop at home site will not show sets in their categories if they are sold out. In another words, why show sets that they have no inventory in stock. You can still search for them. Quote
Ed Mack Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 Nice set that never really got a lot of attention from investors. I look for nice gains from this set, as people are always slow to pay attention to a set until it's gone EOL. Quote
Ed Mack Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 Get one while you can!!! 10212 IMPERIAL SHUTTLE FOR $259.99/FREE SHIPPING! For those of you that prefer Amazon, get it here at the same price.... Quote
justgod Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 Picked up another from Amazon. They show 151 in stock so who knows how long that will last. Quote
Matt C. Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 Looks like it's gone from Amazon. It says only 3 left in stock and the price is now at $309 Quote
Matt C. Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 Well i've been putting off getting the IS, and it looks like it caught up with me. It's no longer in stock at TRU or Amazon. The ones that were being listed by Amazon are being sold by a Third Party now for $309. Quote
Veegs Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 Even three weeks ago, Amazon.com still had them for 239.99. If I hadn't blown all my 'LEGO' investing funds pre-holidays, I would have added a few more to my collection. Quote
Jeff Mack Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 Ed and I had a feeling about this the other day, thats why he posted this thread. Many of you may not get the chance to get this at retail, so you need to make the decision to still try and get while its between $250-$300. This to me has been a quiet set, but I think will explode in the secondary market. If you want to get it before it goes haywire, grab one now. Search eBay for one.... Get one from Amazon.... Quote
justgod Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 Waiting for my two to show up from Amazon. Hopefully the boxes are good because there aren't any for replacement. Thanks for the original post and reminding me to pick these up (and two more DA) before they were gone. Love this site! Quote
cflannagan Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 At least I lucked out and got one at retail from TRU.. $278 total (including tax). It should arrive tomorrow, hopefully the box is in good condition. Haven't seen anything show up in days anywhere (TRU, Walmart, Target, Amazon, etc) at retail price. I have only a couple of sets in my collection and am glad I scored an IS in my collection Quote
cflannagan Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 Just checked UPS tracking - now I'm a bit worried. Apparently they tranferred this package to USPS.. I wonder why? I live in a highly urbanized area and UPS has always delivered to our doorstop, I live in a great neighborhood, yet for this particular package they decided to transfer it to USPS? Makes me wonder if the package is badly damaged and they want me to point fingers at USPS or something.. :( Quote

cflannagan Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 I thought about that too, but we have had hundreds of UPS packages delivered to our doorstep in the last few years. Not sure why this one is unique. Ok, I'll just shut up and wait for the delivery and go from there. Quote

stephen_rockefeller Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 This is the problem people have when waiting till the last nanosecond to get a set. People should have been picking up this set months ago and now some of you that just ordered it will receive it and the box will be badly damaged and you won't get sent another one. 2 things likely occurred A) people never wanted it but are just now seeing the huge potential in it or people wanted it from the beginning but were waiting for that "super discount". Either way I think a lot of people missed the boat on this one. Lesson learned people. I understand that its a huge set and takes up a lot of room but in the business of LEGO investing you have to sacrifice room in order to make money. It happens to all of us from time to time I guess, I missed the Hogwarts castle cause I'm an idiot!!! Quote

Good thing I got this set when it dropped to $181.99 on Amazon a couple of years back, mostly on an impulse buy. Would've got another one but funds were low. Quote
Matt C. Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 I'm still kicking myself i didn't pick up at least one last week... Quote

People can point the fingers all you want at the shipping companies but the blame always falls on the retailer and they are the one who bites the bullet on the cost when sets arrive damaged then returned.......not saying that is right but that is reality.

If I hadn't blown all my 'LEGO' investing funds pre-holidays, I would have added a few more to my collection. Picked one up at $238 recently. Was going to pull the trigger on another and it went up to $259. Waited for another discount and it disappeared. Saw the Brickset forum posts on these. Those lot were literally watching the numbers dwindle, speculating and half egging each other on to get another set. LOL. Quote
Matt C. Posted January 16, 2013 Posted January 16, 2013 Well i was browsing through one of the sites i normally check everyday and one of those ads popped up on the side that shows things you might be interested in. I wasn't paying attention to it until the Imperial Shuttle showed up in there for $259. I clicked on it, it brought me to Amazon and i went ahead and bought it. Hopefully some of you other guys can get one too. Quote
