SLL Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Amazon and Walmart just had it back in stock, but poofed in a sec. Got one from Amazon, just realized I can use the ongoing $30 off $60 offer if I pay by Amex pts, so after tax oop for me is $97, awesome!

Guest TabbyBoy Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 What do you think the odds are of this performing like the Mars Rover after EOL? I'm thinking 2.5x (£275) about 2-3yrs after. I've got the one I need to build plus the other "freebie" that I may keep for a while. I think this set is the most significant marker regarding LEGO investment feasibility since the Fire Brigade. As long as demand exceeds supply, we should be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it comes down to it's retail life. Earlier Ideas / CUUSOO has shorter retail lives with the exception of Minecraft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hockeyweasel Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 No. Ideas sets no longer seem limited to just a few production runs and they have wider distribution. So with an indefinite supply until demand slows, most people who know of it and want one will have their chance to get one. Panic buyers will give it a bump post-EOL that might be longer and higher than for other Ideas sets, but in the long run I think it will be more RI than Mars Rover. How many Mars Rovers were made? How many Saturns have already been made and how many will be stocked by resellers? I think your future pool of AFOLs who remember the moon landing, or love NASA, or love Ideas who haven't already bought one will have an excess inventory to purchase from that far exceeds the amount of NISB Mars Rovers that have ever been put up for sale. You've got the AFOLs with 80s nostalgia for Ghostbusters, Doctor Who fans, and Beatles fans to inform you of how well Saturn will do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this set is the most significant marker regarding LEGO investment feasibility since the Fire Brigade. As long as demand exceeds supply, we should be good. Mars Rover was truly "limited." I don't see any indication this set will be. On a positive note, these Ideas sets usually have shorter production runs. This set is just damn cool and affordable. Every geek wants one for their office. It will be successful regardless of the hoarding and production run in my opinion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cryptocurrency is going through a rocky patch right now so, I cashed in a bunch a few days ago - glad I did as that part my portfolio would've dropped another 10% and still dropping - I think another 20% drop over the next week or so. A bit like recent EOL UCS sets? ;-) I've actually changed my £ into € to ride the storm for a while. You need to diversify, LEGO isn't the gravy train it once was ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val-E Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Cross-over set for people that don´t necessarily like Lego - same as T1. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Falcon had that for a while too with the release of TFA. Can be good to create scarcity for flipping, not sure if it's a positive thing in the long run.
