6862 - Superman Vs Power Armor Lex

[exciter1]

Up to $35 FBA (2x + buy-in if you bought in at $13).  Maybe the 4-year plan is the right thing to do with Superhero sets too.

Christmas this year I'm thinking I bundle these, Arctic Batman, and like Spidey Cycle Chase. I think that's a good $99 seller potentially.

This set should have been a winner. Sad.

Why? It had a long availability and has mini figs that are sure to be released in other sets.

It's a very nice winner, if you can double your money already. It's been retired less than 2 years.

This and the Batcave got extended for a third year. I think that really hurt them in the secondary market. They have been good sellers for me with low buy-ins but they took longer than I expected to get there.

Because it had everything going for it in mid to late 2013.  Expected to be on a 2 yr life cycle, wasn't originally hoarded, cool minifigs, blah blah blah.  Bunch of "what ifs" and "could haves".

This set was the only place to get Wonder Woman. And at the time, we thought this was the last appearance of a classic suit Superman.

8 of mine got wet a ways back. That's not going to help my profit

No, but you could make a really big, cool Power Armor...
