Quacs Posted August 20, 2015 Posted August 20, 2015 Death Star was Call to Check. So was 42028 Bulldozer. And Space Needle.Bingo - it ain't over until it's over.That said, I really hope this is on its last legs. I think a 1.5-2 year run for this is not enough to create overhoarding. Quote

boliramirez Posted August 20, 2015 Posted August 20, 2015 So you guys think this will be a winner? I have 3 of these and even though lego movie sets were too popular, I really think this is a unique set that can get a nce boost when the Lego movie 2 comes out....BR Quote
Quacs Posted August 20, 2015 Posted August 20, 2015 I have two, but am a small time hobbyist seller. I honesty have no idea how this will sell, but I'm guessing it will do well. 1 Quote
landphieran Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 This is now at sold out status on SAH. I am not really sure about this set. At retail price (gift cards etc) I will probably grab a couple 2-3. If they get hit with a 10-20% discount i'll probably dive a bit deeper and snag 5-10.I was looking at customer images of this ship displayed and in most cases it looks extremely out of place and awkward to display. Only in a few scenario's did it seem to fit. (Generally alone on a rustic dresser). Because its not memorable and has a unique style, I don't think this will hold very many peoples interest. I love ships and wanted to love this but i'm finding a hard time doing so. 1 Quote

I love ships and wanted to love this but i'm finding a hard time doing so.I have a couple pirate ships on display and love them, but this one just doesn't seem to fit well with them imo (along with the LOTR pirate ship). I have 0 for investment currently, and am torn if i should get some.However my opinion isn't a reflection on how this set will do. Pretty sure many people were down on the Black Pearl and QAR pre-EOL "discounted everywhere, line is selling terribly" etc, and look at them now. I do feel $300+ CAD would be better spent going towards BP/QAR/Imperial Flagship for pirate ship lovers. Quote

Personally I really like this ship but I guess I am in a minority, love its clutter Quote

brickolodon Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 My legogo store got none, but target got some...with GC and Red card not bad price at all... Quote
marcandre Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 I love this set & think it looks great next to the PotC sets. It's the pride of my fridgetop fleet... 8 Quote
outatime Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 If you buy this one you might want to pick up a few Metal Beards Dual as well to bundle with it, the MB that comes with it isn't near as good as the dual. Just food for thought! 4 Quote
Battrax Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 Good idea. The stand-alone Metalbeard (out of 70807) is brilliant - and full sized. 2 Quote

cissi Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 I love this set & think it looks great next to the PotC sets. It's the pride of my fridgetop fleet...Thanks for sharing! I have been googling and it's so hard to find the comparison of Sea Cow with other traditional ships!So wow, it looks like Sea Cow is a lot bigger! 2 Quote

Just food for thought!MB that comes with SC is to scale. You buy the other one it will be too big. Quote
brickolodon Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 Got my funds for 4 more but its gone from Target...at least my order of 2 shipped day before. Quote
marcandre Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 Never seen a large exclusive thread so quiet after it goes sold out on LEGO Shop at Home. Low interest in this beast. Hope it's a sleeper. This is one set I don't expect to see any 'check back in six months' or 'we are making more' nonsense. Still in stock at amz and wm. 2 Quote
brickolodon Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 but more important TRU Sold Out too... Quote
cladner Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 i'm guessing that this set might be one of the least hoarded exclusives. I have one I built but no others. Those who hoarded - I hope you win big 3 Quote
brickolodon Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 i think will do ok not a lot of demand, so i am sticking with 4 or 5... Quote
Pseudoty Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 Last time it was in stock at TRU was 8/3/15. This set isn't on the BP stock monitor page perhaps swap it out with Benny's. 2 Quote
Dr. Brick Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 Glad I got my 6, may get 4 more but don't tell anyone....shsssst Quote
outatime Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 I have four, think its a modest number for this set, its going to be interesting to see how it performs once its officially gone, with the next movie in a few years it may bump it up nicely around that time....hoping my 26 Benny's do well too 1 Quote
