Cross Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Honest question for the forum... I typically grab 5-10 of sets I believe in, but am looking for one set that I go all "Ed" on and buy essentially as many I possibly can. In the 200 plus/minus "exclusive" range, is there any arguement against r2 being the set to push your chips all-in on? I am an adamant believer in the little guy... seeing this set be a perennial perforner indefinetely. Those that know more or feel differently, please shoot me down.

jaylay Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 yeah, R2 is a solid build and no doubt will be a timeless piece ... wonder if Lego will replace UCS with a UCS Chopper!? that droid is nuts on Rebels ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locutus001 Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 There is but one thing: The DS factor. Personally I think R2D2 will be a winner. The only question is "when". Even after its retirement there will be a lot of resellers. With the three upcoming movies and all I can see how LEGO would like to keep this one alive. So if you do have the money and the space to go all emazer/ed on this one... (see the pun? ;-) ) it's worth a try. As for me I will be a little bit (maybe too) cautious. (If it does go EOL next year BAM!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me, there is one "all Ed" set that is currently available and it is a set that you will never have enough of. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inversion Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 (edited) A set you will never have enough of... It means it is hard to hoard or it is overlooked by others. The first case implies the EEE. The second could be some newer release, like HE or the Mixer (somersault = acrobats?) if it is a bad seller. Ed you should change your avatar to be a Sphinx. Honestly. It is also evil so it shouldn't be a problem. Edited November 9, 2014 by inversion 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Migration Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Anyone on this site more than five minutes should know better than to expect a clear answer from Ed, just pay attention to what he says and where he says it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
