Ideas #007: 21109 - Exo-Suit

[Migration]

I find it hard to believe this wont be flipable for a tidy profit around the holidays. I'm surprised that people are so down on it because it is coming in stock intermittently on Amazon. That kind of trend is what I look for in a set to flip around the holidays. It's early November, patience.

People are down on it because they expected it to be as limited as the Rover was and Exo simply isn't.

This and people in general are just impatient and want immediate results. These are the same people that won't last long in this game.

Walmart is carrying this set now. At 34.99. One walmart by me had about 12-15. Tag and all. Not returns.

Now there are double vip points for the whole month of November for buying the Exo at Australia Lego LEGO Shop at Home, not sure about the other LEGO Shop at Home This set is not going away anytime soon.

It seems like LEGO are struggling to offload these slow selling turkeys.  I've just had an email saying 2xVIP points with the 21109 this month.  So glad I returned all mine before the 90 days were up.

Selling slowly relative to the massive buying frenzy earlier?

 

I still think sales will pick up between now and Christmas.

I have 8 of these and I'm going to stick it out. Pretty much low risk. It's only been in production for three months, who knows it could be done by Christmas.

I spent the money from my 5x 21109 returns on my last HH.  It'd be interesting to see what's worth more a year from now, 5x ES or 1x HH.

I considered this and yet still think that I could sell all mine for a TH. It's a low risk gamble that I'm prepared to take. I missed out on the Rovers and pains me everytime I see their prices on eBay.

Oh well no reliable source, just my own opinion. Just seems like on the Australia Lego LEGO Shop at Home, after it came back the last round, it seems to stay available for a long time.

Shame about the Rovers, I just "knew" these would go into hyperspace (well, Mars) and ordered the max since the day they came out.  Exo never gave me that mojo.

[Deez_Brickz]

I somehow sold an Exo Suit FBA yesterday for $50.  $4 profit better than returning it I guess.

Quick flip is over. Now is a good time to get some with double VIP points. And hold them up to 2016.

This set is very known, lots of people who didn't bought it will still want one set to complete their Ideas collection.

 

I stick with my plan to resell my sets with the white classic spaceman.

I just came back from my local Target store, and saw about 15 Exo Suit on shelves.   They are $39.99 each though.

Have you guys seen Exo Suit at Target store yet?

[holleman67]

Only for returns. They haven't been tagged or had an actual official spot for me.

[hxckid88]

I've seen Exo at Walmart and target... Multiple locations this past week. Too many to be returns at Walmart and they had tags

[tractorboy]

Cheap buy in price,

part of a very collectable theme,

2 exclusive and popular minifigs,

won't be around for a long time,

playability and display value,

small boxes....

 

plenty of good reasons to have a few of these stashed away in the closet.

Oh great oracle, if you were never really feeling them, then why did you order these 'turkeys'? 

 

I'm pretty sure I know why.

Nothing for me and I doubt I ever will honestly but I wouldn't mind buying another for myself if I do.

[hxckid88]

Exo suits are scanning at 19.99 at some targets.

[Alpinemaps]

Wish I could find them at Target...

[minicoopers11]

Still haven't found them at Target. My TRU seem to be getting endless quantities of 21108 though.

which ever target or walmart has exo-suit;  its a return from one of the target/walmart guests.  { most likely one of the BP'er who ordered a lot more than they can digest/hold and returned }.

 

good $cost
