Teebo542 Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Hello I was just hoping to get some input on which is the better deal. I recently purchased 2 79008 on sale for $70 each at Walmart but was curious whether I should return them, and pick up a Grand Emporium they have on the shelf with a slightly damaged box. The prices are about the same but I think the grand emporium is retiring sooner. Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimking23 Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 IGE I agree. Why not just order a GE and get a good box. I imagine your paying $150.00 either way.Keep your eyes out you might find a better price on The Pirate Ship. I got one today at Kmart, out the door for $60 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TabbyBoy Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Get GE but, in a mint box as it'll be worth more. Since I already have 9x GE, I just bought 10 pirates ships as they were 1/3 off and I think will EOL soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjasnake1337 Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 GE >>> Pirate ship, but I'd highly recommend spending the few bucks extra to get a nice box. GE already carries a slight premium over the other modulars, and it's a corner piece. Probably FB-like gains to be made immediately after EOL when panic buying sets in, with slower rises 1yr after. Just my opinion, YMMV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teebo542 Posted February 24, 2014 Author Share Posted February 24, 2014 I suppose i should just hold out for nicer box. Besides, I do like these pirate ships. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrymc4677 Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Grand emporium all the way, but wait until march 1st and order it from shop at home to get the Martian poly too. I wouldn't trust a beat up box collecting dust at your local Wally World. Who knows what terrible things have been done to it?
