HH was out for quite a bit longer than RE has been. It was always suggested that buying RE now, though not a terrible decision given it's a Walmart exclusive, was a risk for a quick flip... some made out like bandits, others did not. I've got some stashed, I'm in no hurry. They're selling on eBay by themselves for about $75-80 CDN + shipping. After taxes and fees, you're making $5-10 per set sold. Some folks are bundling with RR (a wise move) but even then, if I consider what I paid for my RR at a discount, they're making about 30-40 for the bundle. I personally believe that I'll make that on a single RE by this time next year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tacsniper Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 (edited) I have not seen a restock since the last batch on the shelves since ~3 weeks ago up here in Alberta, Canada. Edited November 24, 2015 by tacsniper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully, it can recover and those that are holding long term can make their money. Yeah, I'm totally sweating my investment in this line. I hope I get my money back in the future. For now, I'm stuck with all of these LEGO sets of Dinosaurs from the most successful Dinosaur movie franchise in history because I totally forgot how much kids hate LEGOs and Dinosaurs, let alone both together. I have a feeling I'm going to enjoy coming back to this thread in the future. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaylay Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Maybe if I stumbled upon these (8 RE) a few weeks back I would've stomped on it. But things have come up and now all my funds need to be allocated to more necessary things (new 1000sqft extension to my home). I even haven't got a single GH to date. It's hard but gotta do what you gotta do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ISO8T0 Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Well what the Walmart employee told me was true. They did get their last shipment of REs back in stock. Saw 8 on shelf. + 75916. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If my math is correct, and it usually isn't, you can fit 60,000 Raptor escapes in that new space, I'm just assuming it's warehouse space, right? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd guess if I had to choose I'd send them to the US market over the Canadian market, too, if stock was tight. I haven't seen one in the wild in Canada in over three weeks, and I check pretty regularly a few different WMs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

US are flooded with these and Amazon prices have tank lately. In contrast, EU has the retired tag and has gone up to 80 euro. However, tapping into the EU market and getting a VAT number seems to be another hurdle. Edited November 25, 2015 by tacsniper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
