hengchibrick Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 I have this set and I will say under $120 will be a good price for used one with box (for collection purpose). The batmobile looks awesome, but just like many star war USC set, it is not minifig scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stephen_rockefeller Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Back on topic.....I think LEGO used this set as a test run for non star wars UCS sets, maybe it did t work out so well for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stephen_rockefeller Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 The sandcrawler will probably never happen. The Rumor is that there will be a Sydney Opera House that will be in that piece range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They started UCS with Star Wars because they knew Star Wars fans were the only ones "crazy" enough to buy Lego sets over a $100 price point --- hahaha As far as adding a used one to your collection, I see Bricklink has a used one for $125...

Blackjack Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 My friends brother got one of these a few years ago, and left it unopened for a year or two before building it and letting it fall apart. The waste... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grolim Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 I used to have 3 of these. Sold 2 boxed ones for a small profit a few years ago and had one on display in my house for a long time. Decided to sell it when I moved house and I kind of regret that now. It's a great looking set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huskers1236 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 As far as Lego is concerned, there is no such thing as UCS anymore(hasn't been for a few years now). You won't see that designation on any sets. The Orthanc is not UCS, it is simply an exclusive set, hence the number designation. OP is correct is saying the Batmobile is the only other non-Star Wars UCS set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is incorrect and untrue, set 10225 Clearly says UCS on Lego's website and it was released In 2012.... http://shop.lego.com/en-US/R2-D2-10225 "Presenting the ultimate collector series R2-D2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDarkness Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 I have always regretted not picking these up. I always wanted one for the collection, waited for it to get cheaper and then they all dried up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowestFormOfWit Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Some local guy is trying to off one on Craigslist for 200. Has yet to come down on it so I doubt I'll be doing anything about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rarefindsldn Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Couple of different question I'm hoping to get answered. 1. Short of counting every piece in the bags, is there somewhere that can tell me how many bags of lego should be in a set? 2. I know collectors would want the most pristine condition box, but if a set had a battered box but sealed bags, would that sway in favour for that set, say against a great condition box but built model? 3. This all leads to my latest find - an absolutely battered and bruised 7784 Batman UCS Batmobile with sealed bags (minus tyres which are loose). I'm reluctant to put this on ebay yet until I can definitely guarantee that this ay full set in the condition, apart from the box, that it would been. Would the tyres be loose like I found them? Looking onward to hearing your thoughts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcandre Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Tires come loose in technic sets, probably ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glenbart Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 loose pieces are quite common in sets. I suggest checking out prices of used sets with instructions, I think this set is seeing an increase in price recently, may be worth keeping hold of it for a while.

glenbart Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 The set is already very collectable, if there is going to be a UCS tumbler it can only add to this sets appeal as the two will compliment each other, plus, the UCS tumbler if released will probably spur people to want both. if the set is sealed in bags, you can expect people no to be too bothered about the box, but as I say, maybe wait till the UCS tumbler release to see your batmobile hit unprecedented popularity.

Rarefindsldn Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 It's a tempting thought to keep hold of the box until the Tumbler is released. Unfortunately one of the reasons I want to sell is to raise money for my wedding lol When do you think we will see the Tumbler coming?

glenbart Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 rumours are this year, but nobody knows, I saw one new in bags, crumpled box sell for 50 quid buy it now... I should have pounced on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
