DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 2 face chase will do better than Funhouse in my opinion. I have about 12 or so 2-faces. I would have gotten more but they kinda just dissappeared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soadfan4ever Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 2 face chase will do better than Funhouse in my opinion. I have about 12 or so 2-faces. I would have gotten more but they kinda just dissappeared. I only have one 6864 left. I stupidly parted out 2 that I paid $28 each for over the summer. Huge mistake. I can drown my sorrow in the fact that I used expiring rewards and only paid $7 out of pocket for the one I have. If I'm patient enough it shouldn't take too long for that to turn into $100.

El Guapo Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 This is a great set...nice price point even at full retail. I was buying the bundle from Walmart with the Batman Book for $44. For whatever reason I returned a couple, now I am regretting it. This set will do very well, it already has begun climbing. I think it'll cap just over $100, at which point I will sell.

njseale Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Two Face Chase is a great set and is already rising in the secondary market. I do think the constant reissue of Batmobile's will hurt it a bit long term though. Funhouse as soon as they are cleared out of TRU will start to climb.

Guest TabbyBoy Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 2F is a good set and I'm doubling my money already on them even though I had them at -33%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sozial Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 I bought them for 55% off and had the chance to get 26 pieces. I will wait for 120 Euro. Then I will start to sell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kind of agree, but this Batmobile has a more "classic" look, hopefully there is some draw there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is my concerns with the 2012 Batman sets especially the Batplane. The 2014 Steamroller set give you a Batplane (strange as it is), another Joker and Henchmen plus other KILLER minifigs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chinothegeeko Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 I only grabbed 8. Will wait to maybe this Xmas to sell. Should have grabbed more at walmart when they were down to $34 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njseale Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 I kind of agree, but this Batmobile has a more "classic" look, hopefully there is some draw there. I think so. Also it helps that another two face fig wasn't released this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Battle over gotham does have a slightly more classic look, but I agree that the new Batplane is sweet and the whole set figs to vehicles is a grand slam. 2014 Batman sets are VERY good and I think they will have to hurt demand at least a bit for 2012/2013 sets. The good news is I think it will increase demand for the funhouse. Where else are you going to park your steam roller? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrymc4677 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Two face chase will do very well. I was lucky and scored 31 of them at $21 each this past summer during a super crazy Shopko mega clearance bonanza extravaganza. I plan on holding them until Christmas 2015 at the earliest. I am greedy on this one and hope they get to $150 by then. Would be nice to turn $500 into $5000. I'd settle for $100/set though and wouldn't look back. The fun house will do well also. I have 28, all bought between $25-$35. I don't think this one well do as well as two face, simply because there are a TON being held, but I think $100 within three years of eol is realistic.

Gondorian Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 I think I've got about 6 2FC. (Really need to log all my Lego soon! I've managed about half the house so far.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zskid00 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 I've got 8 that I scored for around $40 each. Wish I had more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudcatsfan Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 I like that the bat mobile looks looks Tim Burton-esque. In looking them up, i didn't realize there was a very very similar set previously (7781). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mudcatsfan Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Wow that's fantastic. The circular element on the nose cone is very reminiscent of the Keaton Batmobile, but the wings are more like the Kilmer Batmobile. 7781 is awesome. i think is resembles the 1989 Tim Burton car more even more than 6864.

jaisonline Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Yeah, pretty much the entire Batman 1 line is awesome and is darker themed compared to the 2012+ sets which are colorful (& sometimes goofy). I think only 2012 Batplane & 2013 Arkham Asylum would prob be the closest modern sets which resemble the older line. I just picked up a Killer Croc set. Smallish yet very nice. 7888 Tumbler and Joker van is awesome. It has the wow factor. The older Batcave & Arkham sets are also excellent.

kingleonidas Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 the older ones are priced way high though so its out of reach for most collecters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ciglione Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 I have 3 2-faces. But here in Europe they are not as popular as in the US unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ensche Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 All of the SuperBatSpiderHeroManIron-Stuff is unfortunately not that popular here in Europe (with exceptions of course...), although they're well known here too and the movies ran well in cinemas, still searching for the reason... probably because we don't show our children the movies due to violence shown and so there is a whole market missing?

Ciglione Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Only the Hulk went pretty well and Wolverine. Spiderman you cannot even sell it if you would give a gold brick for free with it. I think here it takes longer for people to discover the super heroes. The old Batman 1 sets are good as well in Europe. I believe those did not sell so well when they were available in shops. I am especially surprised that the arkham is not selling well. I really like it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knarrff Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 The whole superhero thing is pretty American. Don't expect it to take off in Europe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like it! Indeed I watched them sitting on shelfes for a long time in German stores, and only sold on high sales. The Arkham pleases me well, yes, but I think it will take a long time to develop a decent and high enough price to sell. So there are other sets that may be a safer bet before (modulars, SW UCS near EOL, ...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
