Guest TabbyBoy Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 These are everywhere in the UK so I returned my 5 this morning. From what I see, they don't appear to sell very well either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JM123 Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 I am going to return them to LEGO Shop at Home. Disappointing thus far, rather have my money back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where are you seeing these? Last I checked they were only available in B&M stores and online at LEGO Shop at Home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M4x18 Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Went to 2 local retailers and bumped with several of these and even 7 RIs in one of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asharerin Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 My local Lego store has plenty at $34.99 and is expecting many many more to come. Ditto. A ton on the shelves at my local store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naf Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 I've seen these on the shelf at walmart and target. I figured they were online returns, but perhaps they got a shipment in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I am Niko Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 I've seen these on the shelf at walmart and target. I figured they were online returns, but perhaps they got a shipment in? Wouldn't the 3 month return window end in early November (well, obviously based on whenever it was ordered)? Could definitely be some people returning them before it was too late.

oneknightr Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Went to the Lego store in Pleasanton, CA yesterday. Ton of Exo suits on the shelf but no RI. They said they got a case in on Tuesday and sold out right away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shirow Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 I snagged 2 on Amazon yesterday at msrp, and today they are being sold for an inflated price by a 3rd party. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biking_tiger Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Maybe the days of quick flipping this are over, but I feel it's going to be a strong return EOL, especially at a low buy-in cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth_Raichu Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 You don't say.... People really resell these? Interesting. Putting it on sale and having someone pay for the asking price are 2 entirely different things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biking_tiger Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Haha I wasn't poo pooing on it, just saying that supply quickly poofed at Amazon. It's always a matter of supply and demand. Some BPers have seen these on retail shelves gathering dust, but none where I live except the LEGO store in KC. Those weren't gathering dust, either. If you are lucky enough to live in a locale with good supply (or good WM clearance deals)... well, sell to those without the supply and make your money.

mattgang Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 They are available at Target for 39.99 + tax and free shipping. Just ordered 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am Niko Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Haha I wasn't poo pooing on it, just saying that supply quickly poofed at Amazon. It's been up and down all week at Amazon and was available at RRP for hours at a time yesterday. The past two LEGO stores I've been to, there were 8-10 Exo on the shelf and no one was touching it.

kvasir Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 (edited) Our LEGO store here has been out of the set since the first week it was available and no indication when they are getting more soon. Though over the last weekend I hunted all three of the ToysRuses in the city to track down some Exo Suits. Only one had any left on the shelf and I got the last three. They checked for me and they were expecting a shipment this past Tuesday. I could've gone in the last couple of days but I'm waiting today to go get some because they are releasing the last of the mini-modular sets for Bricktober that goes well with Set 10230. I've already got the firehall, and the Townhall looks great. Edited October 24, 2014 by kvasir Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trekgate502 Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Well I had 26 exo suits. I put 10 on ebay at about $48.99 free ship BIN for a couple of weeks now. At one time I was the low price I believe. I only sold one. This thing short and medium term I think is an absolute dog. I tried to unload 10 at the $48.99 and take a slight loss or break even on them but they did not even move at that. So today I returned 10 to Walmart today and got back $370.00 which I am flipping into more TH's or R2's. I've bought a lot of TH and GE from Walmart lately so I do not feel bad about returning them though I tried to avoid returning them through break even means and that would not even work. TH or R2 is a much wiser investment in my opinion. I've got 15 left of the Exo I will hold on for the long term. I absolutely love the set but and have always been a Space & NASA buff since I was a little kid... To say the market is saturated is an understatement I think. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TabbyBoy Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 So glad I returned mine as they're turkeys to invest in. I reckon 250k+ made just in the first run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinP Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 So glad I returned mine as they're turkeys to invest in. I reckon 250k+ made just in the first run. I don't think that they made that many in the first run. I think they made around 100k total worldwide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
