I have had similar conversations with customers who stated the sets were gifts for their kids. If AT-ACT comes out next year and is $120 - $150 for more pieces and minifigs, I can't see AT-AT holding its current $250 eBay value. Expand you guys are clueless about star wars fandom if you think that a (hypothesized) AT-ACT is going to make a dent in the price of an out of production retired OT Hoth AT-AT. you're talking apples and oranges. almost like saying Poe's X-wing should have dented 9493's price. the ship has sailed for non-1%er Timmy to get his AT-AT until 2018ish when it is inevitably re-released. between now and then, the intestinal fortitude of the reseller will determine the price on this set. it was a year ago today that i bought my last 75054's from amazon. sniff ... sniff. they grow up so fast...

Expand The difference is that Poe's X-Wing looks radically different from Luke's. Different paint job all over, different engines, general ugliness of the former... Whereas the AT-ACT differs only in the blaster cannon configuration and the yellowness of the sides. We're not talking, say, AT-AT versus AT-ST. I bought 26 AT-AT's last year. I expected about $200 by now, so this is a nice break from the general crushing of my expectations this year in lego reselling has been. I think the last $50 of the AT-AT's current price of $250 owes a lot to the AT-ACT's presence in all the Rogue One publicity online. Or maybe it's the lack of Snowspeeders available at retail that makes the AT-AT feel like a safer purchase. Quote
smsklpl Posted December 11, 2016 Posted December 11, 2016 It's no doubt that it's a nice timing to harvest in current range. Quote

Almost seems worth the risk. Shipping to Russia is nearly impossible (delivery essentially never happens) so I blocked the country long ago from a selling perspective. As a buyer, though, I wonder... Lots of lego sets seem to be getting "stuck" in Russia these days and dramatically lagging their Western European and North American counterparts in price. 1 Quote

smsklpl Posted December 17, 2016 Posted December 17, 2016 With absence of major crafts like MF in Rogue One, AT-ACT is so impressive. A bit off topic, 7965 did respond recently. Tire-striker is not bad. Quote
cladner Posted December 22, 2016 Posted December 22, 2016 cheapest FBM in a nondamaged box is $330. price is rising $30 in a week. even ISD is showing some life. 2 Quote
Orthanc_Residen Posted December 24, 2016 Posted December 24, 2016 All in - kept them for Xmas 2017. Gambling, but I assume there will be nothing comparable in 2017. Prices in Europe still low compared to USA. Quote

I sold off the last of mine this week. 3 x MSRP doesn't happen often these days, and I'm betting on the near certainty of AT-ACT next year. Even without competition, sets do plateau.

Val-E Posted December 25, 2016 Posted December 25, 2016 In Europe, it´s still the ISD that is performing better and is rarer. I people didn´t predict which would be more prominent in R1. Quote

But I do not want to sell for 180 Euro, if the price at LEGO Shop at Home was 120 Euro... That's not even 50% margin, if you consider those prices.

Phil B Posted December 25, 2016 Posted December 25, 2016 Yesterday I saw this set show up in my "Search Results from Amazon" promotional banner under this page for $103.45. When I went to Amazon.com, it showed $319.99 as the lowest. Did it indeed surface briefly for close to RRP and did one of you score one? CCC didn't catch it, I checked there .... Quote
Ciglione Posted December 25, 2016 Posted December 25, 2016 Xmas and Rogue One surely had its effect on supply. The price only grew a little bit. But I have good hopes for January. As most people will have viewed the new movie and Xmas envelopes are opened. My goal for 75054 AT-AT and 75055 ISD is to net 200 Euro each after fees. Almost there. AT-AT supply is less than supply for ISD here on ebay Germany. And AT-AT is still slightly cheaper than ISD. But the difference is getting smaller each day passes. 1 Quote
