thebrickdad Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Jason Alleman (J K Brick works - creator of the Lego Maze 21305) has a sound/light/Bluetooth brick project on Kickstarter at the moment. He integrated the PFx Brick into the Saturn V: Superb! I'd also promote backing the project on Kickstarter as it only has 11 days to go and is just 10% short of its target. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was buying R2D2's at $125 and flipping them for $350 and I wasn't waiting 3 years either. While everybody was cashing out their 401k's to buy up Tumblers at MSRP, because that's what "the hoard" does, I stood on the sideline and bought up all the Imperial Hotels at $86 and have zero regrets. Good on the people that bet on it on the first go around. Clearly even if you sell at $200 and bought at MSRP you are clearing at least $50 a set. Even now on az around 299$ people are clearing $100+ per set on az. IMHO that's the way to do it. Get in, get out, move on. Not that I dont have LTH sets, but diversity is important!

People are making money from it now, which is more than can be said of many already retired sets. I´d definitely get some at 33% off or more but not at full price as I don´t like quick flipping based on TLG distribution problems. Disney Castle, Porsche 911 and now this are 3 sets that will have made many people good money doing that so all power to them. Agree, I'm buying mine when it's likely to be discounted in 2018, I'm in no rush and will NEVER pay for than RRP for any set. I'm surprised that impatient buyers are so stupid. These will be stacked up high everywhere before you know it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just be patient ;-) If I've missed out on this set, I will still refuse to pay over RRP for one. Anyway, it may tank like the Red 5 and I'll soon get my chance - LOL.

I have never understood why LEGO has not covered sets' demand in the past - they were able to easily sell 100.000 of Mars Rovers instead of the 30.000 they have produced. But they have learned from the past and the production figures of Saturn V will be around one Million...

I refuse to pay more than RRP for a set, especially when it's a new set that will be in production for more than a year yet. But people who were raised by their parents to be spoiled brats, given anything they wanted, the moment they wanted it, think: I want it now and I'll pay whatever necessary to get it now. Ha ha ha... suckers! For myself, I'm really eager to get this set myself, but I'm patiently waiting for a good promo to go along with the purchase of this marvellous set. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, they need to be careful with over-production as certain Friends, CITY and Star Wars sets are still widely available ar RRP or less way after retirement - Pop Star Bus, Tree House, Deep Sea Exploration or Luke Skywalker anybody?

I personally have cleared quite a bit with these so far. Very simple rule of supply and demand. No different than the stock market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
