lazuli16 Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 just noticed it's sold out (in red for those that care) on LEGO Shop at Home in the US. Readily available elsewhere (amazon, TRU, Target, etc) Quote

Guest Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 JUst hope it doesn't pull a exo suit and is available elsewhere for another year or two after it goes sold out at LEGO Shop at Home. Quote

And Amazon and Target still has them in stock since the red Sold Out tag. Not sure what that means. Horde has yet to hit? Horde doesn't think this set will do well? Too much standing inventory at third party sites? It seems to be a good set to me. I haven't built one yet but I have two in my inventory. Quote

Further evidence: 178 resellers on amazon, I suspect that will be over 200 resellers soon Edited March 9, 2016 by legopocalypse Quote

HandyHand Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 As a new Brickinvestor last year I bought one Ideas Birds set as a curiosity and first toe in the water, last September. I bought it at Lego LEGO Shop at Home for RRP since it wasn't sold anywhere else. Not in any online toystore and not in any Brick and Mortar toystore. I sold that one Birds set for nearly 2x my buy-in. Net profit, because I didn't have any costs to subtract. In retrospect I wish I had bought more... Of course, the situation in The Netherlands is incomparable to that in the USA. Quote
odysea11 Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 This is one of those funny sets. I can personally say that it is a fantastic build and they display beautifully. I really want the other employee gift set, but cha ching! That being said, it just doesn't appeal to the masses. So I'm on the fence investment-wise. But I still have my quota.... Quote
Miami Bomb Squad Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 If there is a sleeper set, this one could be it. Just need for all the ones to disappear from the wild, then we'll see. Few things going for it: Short production run, AFOL set, good Price point to 3x. 1 Quote
legopocalypse Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 (edited) a sleeper set that gets mentioned a decent amount of times? And has 179 resellers on Amazon. The horde has ruined this one too most likely. Edited March 22, 2016 by legopocalypse 4 Quote
pete411 Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 I'm American, so the only bird that I like is fried chicken. 2 Quote

fossilrock Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 I'm a fan of this set. Don't have a lot of this one, but have enough to sit back and watch and hopefully real it in, if it does spike. I also think it's one of those sets, like architecture that transcends the mentality that legos are "kids toys". This is one of those sets that you can give to a person really into bird watching and they'll be thrilled.. And secondly... as i've said before in this thread. Bird Watching is a HUGE hobby generating billions of dollars a year. 2 Quote
Guest Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 The horde ruins all. They are like the horse that eats itself to death. Quote
Miami Bomb Squad Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 @$35/set. 508 pcs Can't really go wrong with this set. If it does bomb, then it would make a great gift to any gender & age group. Just sit back and watch! Quote
