M4x18 Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Do you think that this set will follow Eiffel Tower and Taj Mahal and become really, really expensive in 2-3 years time? Also, do you think that Taj Mahal and Eiffel Tower will be increasing their value even more? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuildIT Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 I reckon the Tower Bridge set will steadily climb overall - perhaps we may even see a bit of a 'jump' in prices now that the Olympic Rings are hanging from it in London. It is the next set on my list. I'd also expect the Eiffel Tower and Taj Mahal to continue their impressive gains as the desirability of these sets continues. If only I'd picked them up some time ago... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the eiffel tower, and taj mahal will probably be one of the most valuable sets, now I feel sad that I got into buying lego after these were discontinued :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that you mention it, LEGO missed out on a perfect opportunity to sell an Olympic Collectors Tower Bridge with special 'rings' and box(and other extras). Could have been cool.

Rich B Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Yeah I totally agree a Tower Bridge Olympic Ring edition would have been sweet, or a London Eye or even a full size Big Ben, ahh the possibilities are endless! Im such a big fan of the Tower Bridge, Eiffel Tower, Taj Mahal, etc. All very cool sets, I wonder what big landmark sets we may see in the future?

stephen_rockefeller Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 I have not looked at every single topic so I apologize if someone has already asked this question.....What is everyone's take on this set? I don't know what to think yet. It has been available since 2010, should I jump on this one? Thoughts???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quakerlaker91 Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 You should absolutely jump on this set for investments purposes; it's a set that will almost undoubtedly appreciate extremely well. Whether you should get it now or not is another question, since I'm not sure when it will be discontinued, but it's been out for about 2 years now, so maybe it's time.

I don't know what to think yet. It has been available since 2010, should I jump on this one? Thoughts???? 1.) I would pick one or a couple up fairly soon as I feel it will definitely do well in the aftermarket 2.) I have no idea when these are predicted to go EOL 3.) Has anyone heard any predicitions on when this set is suppose to go EOL??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich B Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Amazon is the better deal if you take into account TAXES and shipping. I do not believe there is FREE shipping on Walmart for the 10221. I ordered an SSD this morning and it was free shipping to your local Walmart. You then have to drive to your local Walmart to pick it up when it arrives. If you don't do local pick up, then yes they charge you shipping from what I understand. Fortunately I have a Walmart just a 5 minute drive away. I do not know how well they ship as it's my first time using Walmart.com for purchasing Lego, so I'm praying everything is okay.

Lateral-G Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Just pulled the trigger on R2 and the SSD.....with tax and shipping plus my discount total was $466 out the door. I'm not complaining. My son has been bugging me forever for a SSD. I can't wait to see the look on his face when it shows up. FWIW I ordered a QAR from Wal-Mart a few weeks ago and had it shipped. No problems. If you are leery about shipping then use the site-to-store option. They will text/email you when it arrives and you go pick it up. Easy-peasy.

Sflego86 Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Pulling the trigger on 2 R2-D2's, 2 Tower Bridges, and 2 SSD's. Hurts the wallet but it's affordable, these are big sets that hopefully appreciate pretty well the next few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And $466 out the door for those 2 sets is one great deal, thats $580 worth of lego at the Lego store and thats not even including tax, and the gas you spent to get there ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
