Martae54 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 I think I missed a few recent holidays?? . Oh well double points, with 2 Freebies. Thank you sir may I have another. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fantomas007 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 (edited) really great, no stock in Europe. And if, we dont have double points already (why stopped 10 days before USA ?!) These are the moments, when I wish L-E-P-I-N will kill Lego due this absolute ignorancy of non-US markets. Especially Asia is on ignore list of TLG (highest prices, no discounts, poor distribution, no stores). So lets take it, bogus bricks.

Expect 3x RRP within 2 years of EOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The model is beautiful, but I will leave that set alone for post EOL since it will be over produced and uuuuuber horded! Think it will easily get to 200€ First Xmas after EOL. I think that Set is similar to the VW Camper. Edited October 25, 2017 by Sozial Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ecto-1 is rising nicely so a little patience is required. I remember the Delorean being available everywhere for a long time and often heavily discounted - look at it now. This rocket is in a class of its own and those that go in big and are patient will be rewarded. At worst it's a no lose gamble as you'll easily get RRP back for it.

lodibricks Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Maybe that was a bad example as it happens to non-seasonal sets, but that was a fun fact I was not aware of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He started by chuckling and saying funny i mention it, they were just talking about it at the CS area he was in. He said the next shipment will be even larger than the last. That has been their model, make more each time and each time they sell out. So this time, they are making even more and hoping to get the right number to fulfill all the people who want/need one and remain in stock. He said next shipment (fwiw) is due to arrive most likely end of this week, begining of next week. Meaning there is a good likely hood this will pop up before 2xVIP ends. Just need to keep those eyes peeled. Most likely the VIP poly wont last and lloyd and cave people will be over. Ahhhh welll, the goal is to get this on dubVIP Well well well, looky here. All stores/websites have stock, SH/stores has stock. Looks like they finally did a decent production run this go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although this particular set seems coincidental, since its still sitting on the shelves over here as well, I do get your point, . I do remember It was pretty big for the college kids as i qausi remeber attending costume parties everyday of the weekend when i studied in Scotland for 8 mo.

It will be worth going on the 1st november when they reduce them. I've done well with the 40122 this year after that chain cleared them for £6 last year.
