BrickLegacy Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 What size box is this? Similar to Red5/Lonely Mountain? Or is it taller? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGallows Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 (edited) same length and depth as the tumbler box. 10cm less in height 58 x 37.5 x 11.5 cm Edited December 19, 2015 by TheGallows 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fourkidsbuilding Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 I love this set. I know there has always been a buzz about the tumbler, but anyone else think the slave I has a chance to do just as well long term? Great model, better/more figs than tumbler, star wars fever for the next several years...has a lot going for it. My plan is to load up next year on this as much as possible... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the only issue with Slave I would be how long till the remake. This version is, IMO, the best version yet which makes me believe the next will probably be the best version yet...

Enough time to sell it and realize a pretty decent profit! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

king156 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Salve will be around all 2016 and likely well into 2017 plenty of time to buy this throughout the next 18 months ; ) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fossilrock Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Im sure this will be the most hoarded exclusive in human history when all is said and done. Just watch! And lego will cater to it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armor Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I personally will just stockpile a few of these, I have built one and it was amazing. In my opinion, only the death star II build was better but only barely. This thread will become tumbler 2.0 with people saying how many they got and what condition they came in. The latter stages the F5 of target Walmart and the lego store. This set screams eazy winner and I don't like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every new investor will buy a few copies of Slave I because it's a safe pick destined for great returns. At some point these new investors may become disillusioned with LEGO investing and therefore would liquidate their stock of Slave I. In that case the question would be if that occurs before or after the retirement of Slave I as the implications for post-EOL supply and demand would differ.

This happened with the Black Series 6 inch Boba. It was vastly hoarded, and for over a year it lingered just slightly above what one could buy it for at retail. Only in the last few months (a year since it was found in retail) did it finally start to go up, and now it is around 2x. While Boba Fett is highly popular and sought after, it's not infallible to the laws of supply and demand. I suspect there will be so much Slave 1's in the hands of rookies, that it will take at least a year and a half after it retires to land any sort of profitable returns. I suspect we will see may races to the bottom during that time from people not willing to put in the wait, so people will be able to snag these around retail for a considerable amount of time..

Armor Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 The slave 1 Will be tumbler 2.0. I would rather invest in sets that I know not to be mass horded. I plan on keeping mine till the Boba Fett movie some time in 2020/2021. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That should bode well for this set as long as Lego retires it within two years of today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'll pass too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armor Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 (edited) Quote You mean 50% appreciation 10 days after retirement? Yeah, I'll pass too. So sellers buying from other sellers is all well and good if you want to quick flip but for a long healthy grow, that is not the greatest thing to happen to any product. I am worried that the slave and tumbler will turn into a AA for 5 years due to the mass amount of new people buying the set and then wanting to get their money back with a 10% profit margin.
