newbie77 Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Agree but 2700 doesn't mean a lot of resellers.On RI two of us had 100 sets.That would be 54 resellers.Probably more on this but 100 or 200 not thousands .i disagree. it may <b>NOT</b> sound significant from that number but its the percentage of what was available outside that went to small fish. anybody waiting for website to be updated and put the order are all small fish. (that includes me... ) ( apologize for saying that and hurting feeling) i have a feeling there are big sharks who don't rely on running around stores and websites to get their inventory. yes i am talking about those who make a call and can divert inventory. where do you really think the wave of TRU's inventory on RI and Target's second wave inventory went?

jjsrt8 Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 No funds? We are talking 20 bucks. How does one not have 20 bucks available in the bank or on credit. Not trying to be a Jerk but I just don't understand that. I live pay check to pay check half the time sorry I'm not as financially stable as most of you big timers. I am only 21 also. Just got back from Disney and dropped almost a grand on that so yea didn't have much after passing bills. Enough to get 2 exos and 2 RI at the time for enough. I have 4 exos now and 3 RI if my trade goes good. Never approved for a credit card can't establish credit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think tru sells outside their normal channel In the 5-8 minutes 800 or so RI were available I ordered 30 Then I was about. 5 seconds late for 50 more My friend got 60 I got 30 exo from amazon I am not a large reseller Agree to disagree. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I almost went overboard when I came upon this good, hard lesson hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest brickcrazyhouse Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Anyone else starting to think TLG is doing all this availability roller coaster ride, just to F with resellers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpinemaps Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Im not sure what the fuss is with this set. I bought two from amazon the other day "just because". They arrived today, and one is badly creased. I'm giving that one to my son. I'll throw the other one in storage and forget about it for a few years. Maybe it will provide zombie like returns, but I highly doubt it. I'm just not into quick flipping new release sets. There are too many variables to make it worth my time. Nothing wrong with playing the long game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjsrt8 Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 I'm a collector before investor. I have to say for a beginner in the investing market this year ive had a good start. From flipping many rovers. Have 3 HH, 3 GE, Sopwith Camel, Holiday Train, bunch of other stuff and much more to come. I have a lot more but that's all for my personal collection. I dont have a budget but bills need to be paid and need gas for work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hxckid88 Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Anyone else starting to think TLG is doing all this availability roller coaster ride, just to F with resellers No, I think they are too busy making more RI and exos and running a successful business them to have any concern with. 000001 percent of people who buy there product. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legodelorean Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 I shouldn't have, but I just bought two more on Amazon right now. I shouldn't have but I couldn't resist. I'm having buyers remorse but I know it'll pass. This happens every time I drop money on sets.....the ones that are close to $100 that is.

jaylay Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 I wonder what the market for these items will be 1 year from now. Sent from my iPad using Brickpicker well above the MSRP price of $34.99 for sure! until we for sure know that there is a 2nd run production out there i wouldnt under estimate this set ... for all we know, whatever is showing up on ebay, LEGO Shop at Home, amazon, target are all still first run production ...

jbacunn Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Just built my Exo Suit. Have to agree with others that it's a bit too fragile for kids to play with although it does make a nice display set.

ChristopherJB Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 TAKE THAT EBAY RESELLERS!!! JERKS!!! On a serious note...many resellers already made money from the first production run and will reload for the second one shortly. Hotcakes!
