themoose9 Posted January 12, 2015 Author Share Posted January 12, 2015 (edited) Built this set last week and agree that it's very nice. We have it displayed on our mantle. I hope there's another version with some new birds coming soon. For everyone with cats please give them a big hug when you get home today. We just learned today our youngest (<2 yrs old) has FIP and may only have a week to live. We had no idea this was coming other than that she wasn't her usual self the last few weeks until I took her into the vet today. It puts Lego investing and other issues much into perspective.Really sorry to hear that... ...hugs given Edited January 12, 2015 by themoose9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

francis_crowe Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Sorry about your cat meowsx3... So, where are the Walmart and TRU listings for this set? Did TLG punish these retailers for a prior incident or is this an atypical set for the Walmart and TRU shopping public? Do you think AMZ and Target brokered a deal with TLG for an exclusive one month window to sell? ... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best you can do is try to comfort them and be there for that last moment heartrending as it is. ...?!

brickshiftmama Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 So sorry to hear about your cat. And, this set really appeals the middle aged women set (take my word...got a lock on that market:)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legodelorean Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 These look really nice and I think that some sets that don't seem to be all that great actually sell better than the obvious sets that come out. These type of sets seem to be sleeper sets. Look at the RI for example. I didn't think it was going to be bigger than the Exo Suit. It's cooled off but I'd still buy some for the long term if I could ever find them again. The price point on this isn't $19.99, but I think this could be a winner for the bird lovers.

marcandre Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Amazon is out. Target has been out. Lego now the only place to get this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minicoopers11 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Amazon is out. Target has been out. Lego now the only place to get this? I am not an oracle, but I would expect this to be in and out at Amazon, Target, Walmart, and Toys R Us for at least the next couple months. That said, I don't think this has appeared online at Walmart and Toys R Us yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOrcKing Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 This is one time where a person could say they flipped the bird and not be referring to a certain universal hand gesture. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meowsmeowsmeows Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 This is not related to the Birds set, but thank you to all above that expressed concern about our cat. I haven't been back on here since then to post. Unfortunately, we had to put her to sleep last Saturday, so it's been a rough week and a half. Again, I appreciate it, and please give all of your cats, or pets of whatever furry kind, a hug and appreciate them while they're still here. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deejay Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Are there more bird sets released in the future? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biniou Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 (edited) Are there more bird sets released in the future? Who knows. DeTomaso made lots of birds. https://www.flickr.com/photos/detomaso/sets/ But I think LEGO has already selected the best three birds (in their opinion) from those different themes: Tropical, British, and North American. So I would say that it's very unlikely to see more as Creator lego sets (and nearly impossible as Ideas set). Well, if he lists his Oceana Birds sets on the Lego Ideas website, and it's supported (10,000) , maybe... (the kiwi is cute !) https://www.flickr.com/photos/detomaso/sets/72157633593548759/ Edited February 10, 2015 by biniou 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdmpartz Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Does anyone think this has the same potential as the 21103 The DeLorean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedsausage Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Does anyone think this has the same potential as the 21103 The DeLorean? Probably not. It lacks quite a few things the delorean has ie. a license, minifigs, playability etc. The two sets are polar opposites, but you never know, it could surpass it by flying under the radar.

diablo2112 Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 (edited) Might have more potential. The first 2 weeks Birds was on Amazon, it was the #1 ranked seller in toys. That's an important data point. This set has massive appeal to folks not usually interested in Lego. FYI.

Yeah, on second thought, you're right. Set has no appeal. Very poor choice, my bad. Resellers should avoid this high risk/low profit opportunity. Nothing to see, move along. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcandre Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 If this set is out two years it won't do much. Goes this year it will do well. No one keeps it in stock long but lego allows orders of 5. Hard to say if it will be gone this year or here to stay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
