LegoSteve Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 (edited) 1 hour ago, jbacunn said: Lego did have to get permission but one would assume that once the permission is granted it is opened ended meaning that they could make the set as long as they wanted to. The reason why I think this set will have a 18 months or less run is the price. This set should be going between 180-$190 but it's not. It would still be a best seller at that price too. LEGO may eventually look at its ROI on this set and decide to give production room to another set. I'd be very surprised if this set made it to the 50 year anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing.

Popular Post Mos_Eisley Posted June 16, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted June 16, 2017 It's funny that anyone thinks TLG would be releasing sets that they aren't making sufficient margins on. I'd go the other way and say that sets like this show you how much they overcharge for most everything else. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People need to stop and think that TLG is still making the profit it wants when a retailer discounts by 40 or 50%. Just because companies like Amazon are willing to work on 3 or 4% doesn't mean the manufacturer does. Those on this forum that know what base manufacturing costs are in relation to retail sales prices will be able to make an informed guess on the markups at play here.

It is just so good. 3 hours ago, LegoBro said: Beware on the amazon stock. Just received 2. 3rd party stickers and boxes came out with a lot of wear and tear. Nevermind, this must be why.

ravenb99 Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 They sell for exactly the same damaged as they do undamaged so not a great reason for return. Not to mention a good 80% of them come damaged straight out of the case. Little baffled how they are always compressed on one of the ends as the boxes are pretty sturdy and the cases have been in great shape.

But I personally would not sell a damaged box unless I disclosed it to the buyer. In my case, I expect some/most big boxes to come damaged from amazon. They handle a gazillion packages. No one cares about your perfect box there lol. What troubles me is going into 3rd party stock and sending me that instead. I don't know who the third party is and one of my boxes looks like the seals were taken off and placed back on. Reckon I'll open it up to check and advertise it as such and save my return lifelines for another day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbacunn Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 One of mine from Amazon had this sticker on it. How does Walmart stock end up at Amazon? Box was beat and seals were almost popped. Good thing I wanted one to keep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long did ghostbusters and other ones last that sold well? At least 12 months maybe 18. Anyone buying this today for investment is a fool. A quick flip..,sure.

ISO8T0 Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 It's very odd how these are coming in and out of stock. Almost like LEGO has told retailers to list them 10 cases at a time. (even though I'm sure that's not the case) no pun. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
