M4x18 Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Was it at "sold out" or at OOS before disappearing act? It has shifted between Sold Out and Out Of Stock With Expected Ship Date, and the latter only when available to order Sent from my iPhone using Brickpicker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sroster Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Weren't there 2 or 3 production runs of the rover as well and kind of the same M.O. of being relatively hard to get but not impossible, sometimes showing up at TRU but never in B&M stores in the US etc? I wonder if they are basically copying exactly the plan of what they did with the rover on the exo suit as well? It seems like if there was a plan to mass produce this delorean style they wouldn't be using a sold out tag at all, unless they are wise and know that works us panic buyers into a frenzy!

Another difference - very few Lego B&M stores had Rovers on hand (if any) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregpj Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 There are reports of exos being found in B&M TRU stores in Canada and the US. All my local TRUs had Exos and RIs... Some still had stock yesterday of the Exo. RIs sold out basically in a day but they probably had 2x as many Exos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another difference - very few Lego B&M stores had Rovers on hand (if any) IIRC, a member posted that they found some Rovers at a Lego B&M store. That is the only instance I heard of that a Rover was found in a store. The Exo Suit is very different. It seems like Lego gave its stores a shipment of the exos, and also gave Amazon and Target a few shipments, while leaving the rest of them to be sold on LEGO Shop at Home. That's my theory at least.

Also to TrU Canada. I picked up 6 at one store, then went to another TrU and they had 15 Exos and 15 RIs unpacked that day. I left the Exos and decided on picking up all the RIs. Fingers crossed it was the right decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No More Monkeys Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 The fact that it's now on the end of the list makes me think it might not be coming back... Nah, we established earlier that the sort order is by availability and then by set number within each availability category, plus anything with "new" tag is bumped up top, if it is available (and again sorted by set number) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrickLegacy Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 There are reports of exos being found in B&M TRU stores in Canada and the US. I haven't seen any reports of Exos at B&M TRU in the US but I might have missed that. I think we've only seen LEGO B&M, Shop at Home, TRU online, Target online and Amazon.

PurpleSnurple Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 So with the Exo Suit showing up on other store sites/shelves other than Lego, is it best to sell off extras you bought for short term investments now while it's new and hot before the next wave around October? Or hold onto them awhile longer for the holiday season? I have a few I keep for long term, but I also have some I want to sell short term. My local TRU manager in charge of the Lego department said that it's a new product and will take a little while to show up, but will eventually.

DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Really its up to you. Are you willing to take the chance and turn it into more then? Or just sit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurpleSnurple Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 I'm not sure... I'm really new to Lego and investing just this year. My dark ages just ended this past spring and now I'm obsessed with building my collection. I only discovered the investment potential when I stumbled across 6 sets in a local craigslist Lot and picked up cause they looked cool. I got Grand Carousel, Taj Mahal, Eiffel Tower, Fire Brigade, and Winter Village Toy Shop for a total of $1300, and later found out what they're worth! Though I couldn't resist building the fire brigade. I don't have disposable funds to have sitting in investments right now as a graduate student, so I was really interested in turning them around short term perhaps over the holiday season to fund more Legos (and pay for my copies of the sets). What would most people do with the set on here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
