  2. Wow, that's a lot of brain power your using on one purchase 😜 If you want the GWP buy the McLaren when it gets released. If you want to make money with limited funds buy retiring sets. You could always save money down the line and buy a used McLaren and GWP later . . . And personally if I had limited funds I would not buy the Cantina. It's sticking around past retirement (which is never good) and cheaper sets typically appreciate better. Spread your money out so you don't get burned on one set.

  3. Yes, that's correct. People who attempted to buy two copies had their entire orders canceled, while those who purchased just one saw their orders successfully processed. I sold my copy too quickly and made a small profit of $100, but the price later soared to over $300 for three months. Porsche collectors are equally enthusiastic, though they typically have smaller budgets. I'll consider buying the book if fewer than 5,000 copies are produced.

  4. Went ahead and ordered 2 complete sets and shared the link with some friends to do the same. Had a perfect experience last time and see no reason not to buy again. Thanks @Tonka858!

  5. I read this last night before bed and it gave me a headache 🤣 I remember posting a rant and in it I said the Cantina should have been a great investment but Lego killed that off but I can’t remember why now. I don’t get this GWP at first I thought it was a stand for the car and that it would auto rotate which would be amazing but it does neither afaik. Is it just a must have for McLaren fans and the hope is it will truly be limited? When the Ferrari came out was it $450 and what was the GWP, the book you had to buy separately IIRC, and did it sell out day 1? I would think Ferrari has a lot more demand than the McLaren but also know there are people that just get all of these cars regardless of brand. Oh, and wasn’t the Ferrari one of the coupon sets last BF or CM and how much off was it if you recall. Tell me more and I may have another option for you. ETA: found it “There are too many good expensive sets coming out every 1/4 that people can’t keep up. The market is flooded like Beanie Babies. Cantina which should have been a slam dunk winner with all of the exclusive minifigures will be a kiss of death set for many” I would avoid the Cantina (says the guy that has 8K worth of Blacksmith sitting on a shelf) at $400 because how many buyers will there be at your sales point. When it goes OOS on amazon like it is now it only goes up 10% with only 11 sellers, not a good sign. If we see a 40% off deal with GWP & CB like we had with the UCS gunship then I would say go for it but not at the new inflated MSRP.

  6. No they fired up the presses again. It sucks for people who paid $100 for it and people who bought the set and didn’t get the promo and are without. If they fired up the presses again they should distribute it first to people that didnt get it. The large set is clearly not moving they way lego was expecting it to and now its been dispersed to every retailer you can buy it from kohls with $70 kohls cashback and what not and will likely see a below $300 price tag soon enough. LEGO just being greedy again.

  7. If you start worrying about that then you might have problems purchasing most of anything on Amazon. If you will check the names of the companies selling those sets you will see names like XXXXX Books and XXXXToys. Maybe not all but I have to assume that many have LEGO buyer accounts. I do know that they often do not get a choice of which LEGO sets arrive to them. And a retailer's mindset is to "clear the shelf" not "does this set have 5 unique minifigures that will make it valuable 2-3 years from now?" if this set has been a little slow for them then I can see them foregoing their profits in an effort to just break even and make room for new sets coming out. Of course, I could be wrong. I often am.
