biking_tiger Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 This set totally lacks any amount of interest.Been more than 24 hrs since been gone from LEGO Shop at Home and amazon and walmart still have em in stock This is not BP effectMaybe it is the BP effect: posts on BP deride a set, and skittish investors avoid it. If we had all been singing this set's praises, it would be gone-gone. It's an awesome set, unique, and I have no doubt it will do well long-term. It's just not for everyone and not a slam dunk. Quote
tacsniper Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 Been more than 24 hrs since been gone from LEGO Shop at Home and amazon and walmart still have em in stockPrecisely why I think this set will do well in a year or so when it is completely gone from retail and not hoard by many resellers. If the ship is in the new movie, it maybe even more sought after. 1 Quote
conceptmachine Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 I never got any of the lego movie sets, only the cmfs. For some reason I just wasn't enthused. The SC was the only one I would have gotten...but just couldn't pull the trigger on it. I'd rather put 200 toward something else. Quote
hannibal Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 One important thing about this set (besides the fact it looks great when displayed and it's huge!). Even available at retail, it still sells for good money on ebay..sometimes even higher than retail. That tells you something! Quote
rcdb1984 Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 if that rainbow submarine was available, would you get it? LoL Quote
pickleboy Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 Few resellers betting big on this one. ...Can find three in a quick search that have around 100 of these.Good luck to them! (And me) Quote
meowsmeowsmeows Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 Come on europe! According to the Brickset Europe stock chart for the Sea Cow (http://brickset.com/sets/70810-1/MetalBeard-s-Sea-Cow), the set got a huge restock of 1,000 sets back in late July bringing the stock up to 1,200. It's now at 950, so it may be awhile in Europe if the Sea Cow is actually gone in the US. 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. Some of this also has to be due to the abundant use of Sold Out tags on shop at home recently and then having those sets come back in full force later. No one knows which sets are truly gone and which ones are just not currently available for sale. I don't have any Sea Cows, and have been debating getting 1 or 2, but $250 just seems a lot to invest in the set when there are so many other investment possibilities and there is a chance it may come back for another 6 months in a few days.

MarleyMoose Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 (edited) I never got any because I can't imagine too many people down the road saying "I need that!" and will pay 2x mrsp. Or even much more than list. I've been wrong before and will be again... Edited August 24, 2015 by MarleyMoose 2 Quote
Pseudoty Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 First fleet of Sea Cows from Target arrived today all 27R5. Quote
outatime Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 Seems very recent, unless the last batch was only a short run? Quote
scatmanjack Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 Available for order at LEGO Shop at Home USA with September 13 ship date 1 Quote
S.African.AFOL Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 After just building my Imperial Flagship I'm stressed about this set...I don't have a single one, not even to build. There are only a few left here on the shelves of overpriced retailers. Then again, not a single set in the series has been retired. If it goes now, it will certainly be quite scarce. Quote
outatime Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 I think its a mistake not to have at least a couple of these in your inventory, I also built one last Xmas and have four now but have stopped at that. Its slowly starting to retire, I believe Lord Biz lair has gone so its only a matter of time till the rest go now that the hoopla is over from the movie. The next one is due out I think in 2017 which gives us a couple of years for some appreciation in both gains and popularity of the movie as I believe a Lego Batman movie is due out next year I think with the same movie character, so there will be content reminders of the characters. I don't see huge huge gains on this one like maybe modular but think it will do ok for itself...could be a sleeper Quote
marcandre Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 Now call to check at LEGO Shop at Home 1 Quote
meowsmeowsmeows Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 Now call to check at LEGO Shop at Home Just noticed that as well. Will be interesting to see if it goes through the same pattern as several weeks ago (i.e., call to check, sold out, and back again). Also noticed Tower of Orthanc was available yet again for backordered availability. Quote
Ciglione Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 Here in Europe there are still 786 pcs in stock. Will be a slow sunset for this one I suppose. 1 Quote
Val-E Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 Here in Europe there are still 786 pcs in stock. Will be a slow sunset for this one I suppose.Probably will be the opposite of ToO and sell out first in the US, then the horde will know it´s gone and scoop up the remaining units here. Still not convinced by it´s future resale value - based on other Lego Movie stuff it would appear to be pretty toxic unless there is a very heavy discoun (Lone Ranger 2.0 maybe).... Quote
Ciglione Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 Maybe you are right. But then Sea Cow would be the Lone Ranger Train and would do ok if bought at a discount. I can see Lego putting it on sale if the stock does not shrink fast enough. Quote
HandyHand Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 Maybe you are right. But then Sea Cow would be the Lone Ranger Train and would do ok if bought at a discount. I can see Lego putting it on sale if the stock does not shrink fast enough.Maybe interesting to buy this set on double-VIP points October, if LEGO LEGO Shop at Home will be running that promotion as well here in Europe / The Netherlands... 1 Quote
Ciglione Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 Maybe interesting to buy this set on double-VIP points October, if LEGO LEGO Shop at Home will be running that promotion as well here in Europe / The Netherlands...I will maybe think about buying one of these if Lego would do a decent discount on this one like they did with the 10227 B-Wing some time ago.But I have other priorities when buying during double VIP. Just hope these sets are still available in 2 weeks. Quote
Val-E Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 Yes for German Lego shop it may well go on sell for BF like AA, HE etc last year to get rid of stock. For the rest of us second class countries, probably not.... Quote
Guest TabbyBoy Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 Don't worry, it'll be back in a new box like other sets these days ;-) Quote
