Fenix_2k1 Posted June 26, 2017 Posted June 26, 2017 Even though some Ninjago sets have done me well so far I think any of this year's retirements will be a risk. With the movie sets coming out and normal Ninjago sets still being released I think there's going to be too many on shelf Ninjago sets for fans to buy for there to be much demand for the back catalogue next year. Even though it's a much nicer set I think ToA is right up there with Classic Batcave as a huge risky investment for this year. Quote
bigfanofnu Posted June 26, 2017 Posted June 26, 2017 Anyone find this set discounted in the US? Would really like one for personnel build. #NEVERMSRP Quote

steveviscious89 Posted July 18, 2017 Posted July 18, 2017 Just got one of these. I've wanted one for awhile because I like the look of it. I was afraid it was going away since the new ones are coming soon. Quote
Val-E Posted September 15, 2017 Posted September 15, 2017 A nice quiet retirement with relatively short shelf life in the US. Wonder how it will do post EOL. Quote

I agree with you that they have many good reasons not to pay even RRP for this set, though. Quote
Captain_chaos Posted December 20, 2017 Posted December 20, 2017 Just received my copy of this set that I just bought from LEGO Shop at Home (with double VIP, £15 cashback, £10 extra VIP points as a promo code hadn't worked properly, and the little Santa polybag). Seal code: 44S7. Perhaps this isn't so backlogged after all. As they have made a recent production run, and sold from it, I wouldn't count on this being available at a big discount as clearance.
