cladner Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 lowest price on amazon is $299.98 (3x MSRP) and down to 36 sellers. looking at the price growth its going up about $10 a month now. so should be at $350 by May. it will be hard to continue justifying not selling these other than pure greed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legostudmuffin Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 (edited) On amazon these are all the way up to $299.98, however I'm having a hard time selling at $230 on Ebay. Edited December 12, 2016 by legostudmuffin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nolanfan34 Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Down to 34 sellers as well. Should hit close to $400 on Amazon by Christmas I would bet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fossilrock Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 A few months back, I was sitting at the bottom for 299.99 and it took many months to move it as the bottom dwelling FBM seller. I don't think many are buying these at that price... Then of course, the person that bought it scammed me by claiming they didn't recieve it when tracking showed they did. Amazon reimbursed them, but didn't deduct it from my account and said I did nothing wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope they are still in good condition. But I'm based in Singapore, so it's quite impossible for me to sell these on Amazon.. My only option is eBay? I'll sit on these as long as possible.

Well, I am basically a builder and I am more interested in the design than having the original box. So I bricklinked Falling water, and while I was at it I changed the color scheme a bit so that it looks more like the real thing. Cost me slightly more than 100 Euros. There are no special bricks in it. I suspect that the general price of Lego bricks puts a cap on how much you can ask for a set like this. Well, maybe there are enough collectors that really want the unopened original box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fenix_2k1 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 There is also value in the instruction book as it usually contains a good insight into the building. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the box if it is a gift. On the other hand the recent remakes are the main threat to price increases. Burj and GG done twice, Big Bens and Sydneys in small, medium and large. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tractorboy Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I don't see the FLW buildings being re-made anytime soon. Well known iconic landmarks, sure. But this line was a bit more niche. There hasn't even been another architect line since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I don't think the remake was part of the official LEGO Architecture Frank Lloyd Wright Collection. The Guggenheim is a well known public building and the first effort was quite small and a bit crap so a remake made sense. I don't think they could remake Robie, Fallingwater and Farnsworth without making it a FLW 'thing', which they've already done. I could be wrong I suppose. They'll do it if they think it would be profitable. I don't remember these sets being hugely popular at the time, which is one of the reasons why they weren't over hoarded.

Architecture lost its shine since Imperial Hotel, with the exception of Villa Savoye. In Europe, none of last year´s sets is doing well, Trevi at best is up 30% or so. Main issue is that target buyer is a small group. Few sold and few bought - if the Chinese aren´t copying them there is a reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Architecture theme is fine - The problem is the post life hordes that are happy to earn $5 on their investment. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
