rastascoob Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 I bought 6 of these at 50% and was wondering what to do with them. Every store I go into has always had a ton of them so I know they don't sell that well, but at 50% and next week 70% of I had to grab some. I like a lot of the pieces in the set like the columns and the chairs. It also has white arches which you don't see too often. I think the playability of these is poor which is why they aren't selling but parting or just using for MOC's could they be a winner? Quote
jal4u2c Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Well you could buy even more and use them all to build Rivendell. Quote
Guest brickcrazyhouse Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Either open up a bricklink store or return them Quote
jal4u2c Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Now THAT is the Council of Elrond! Very nice! Quote
TheDarkness Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Build this Oh great now I need one for myself! It is a great MOC, thanks for sharing. 1 Quote
thehobbyrat Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 You can melt all the plastic and sell it as hot glue. 1 Quote
Piece_Out_Studios Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 While I'm new to this whole investing and selling theme, I know one thing: It's Lord of the Rings. It's generally a good set for a Lord of the Rings collection, and for any collection really. I will pick one up for personal collection, myself. It may take a while to get some value to that set though. Quote
rastascoob Posted February 14, 2014 Author Posted February 14, 2014 Any info on that MOC. How many sets did it take? Quote
spener90 Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 I think the moc looks great, but if you look at the minifigures, it honestly looks like a bunch of guys sitting in recliners... Build this 2 Quote
Maverick2k1 Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 I think the moc looks great, but if you look at the minifigures, it honestly looks like a bunch of guys sitting in recliners... Haha I was just about to say that! They look a little too cozy. Quote
Alcarin Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Well at 70% off you will make cash on them EASILY.... Elrond and Arwen alone are worth around 10$ easily..... Quote
Sandwraith Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 While it certainly doesn't compare to some of the Rivendell mocs out there; i have 1 in my collection on display and i think it's a pretty nice looking set. I'd be all over it at %50-70 off and i hope the Canadian Target follows the US one with the clearance soon on this set (at least it sounds like you're talking about a Target clearance). Quote
Noodlenut Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Open two, part out two, and that leaves two to give to me! Quote
adewar Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Half off is excellent. It's not an amazing set, but the figs are good. Be patient, in 2 years it will be worth $40+. 1 Quote
Spartikis Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 great set, and you got for an amazing price. This set is still active but once it retires it will do well many of the other LOTR sets, just need patience. Quote
scuttfarkas Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 I think it will be a stinker; even post EOL. Just doesn't do anything for the child LEGO fan.....and for alot of adult LOTR fans...I can't imagine it's a display worthy representation of the Council of Elrond. That MOC is money....so maybe it'll be a nice "part out" set for MOCs. Quote
DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 As I recall, I wrote this down as one of my part out sets to avoid. I honestly would just keep them. Not a lot of capital tied up - could be a sleeper post EOL just because no one will hoarde them. But you will be able to easily get your money back out. Quote
thebluewizard Posted October 11, 2016 Posted October 11, 2016 Reviving an old thread, but yeah, this one hasn't done well at all. Quote
CrabslayerT Posted October 12, 2016 Posted October 12, 2016 I would disagree, found 4 of these on clearance last year and turned them into 120% profit in a couple of weeks Quote

If I got this for $5 a piece in clearance and sold it for $25, that's 400% profit. Does that mean the set has done fantastic? 1 Quote
CrabslayerT Posted October 12, 2016 Posted October 12, 2016 My point is, its all relative. For some it bombed, for others it didnt. obviously you done alot better out of it than most 1 Quote

UG, ToO and even attack on wt showed better gains, regardless of buy in. Quote
