brickvoyeur Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 New molds for the large turtle parts. The small turtle looks to be a recolored model from the Friends sets. Not sure it will have as much drawing power as the dragons, but should be solid if you get it at a good price. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villager Chris Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 I like it - looks like a hit to me rather than a turtle disaster. Apologies, couldn't resist. 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villager Chris Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Perhaps a good set to shell out on. 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villager Chris Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 On a serious note, if you look at Amazon seller prices for the whole range, is there such a thing as a bad Elves set? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don´t get me started. Series 1 are pretty sketchy apart from Bakery, Naida´s Spa and the other little set ending in a 1. Series 2 we know about and the Mine and Dragon School are no great shakes Seeing as people from as far afield as US, Australia and Europe are now all Elves experts, I´d say series 3 won´t do great due to overhoarding. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Dragons have been very central to the success. S1 only became popular once people bought into the dragons of Series 2. Series 3 they've tried to sell idea of a goblins theme as the collectible element but they had to include a dragon as a banker. 2018 they've moved onto weird bat creatures and buildable creatures but they still can't drop the dragons. I don't think the theme will fall due to hoarding. I personally think it will fail because it's no longer dragon centric.

Villager Chris Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 (edited) Not sure it is dragons. Starlight Inn is a brilliant performer (with a baby dragon) but Elvendale School isn't doing so great (also a baby dragon). I think it's a simple case of variation in production numbers. With that in mind, early indications are that 41181 will deliver strong % growth, based on fewer sellers on Ebay/Amazon. That said, 300% of £9 in a year's time is not a lot of money so people probably haven't bought it, so the price goes up more. Head spinner I know!

Val-E Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 41181 was the first to retire and didn´t need a SAH discount. 41177 had the same life as Dragon Sanctuary and a baby dragon but seems to have been produced in bigger numbers. Perhaps a comparison with 75150 or the Friends Snow SUV.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leopard Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 (edited) I actually like the 41191 as a investment when it goes on sale, the turtle will attract the kids. Edited December 29, 2017 by Leopard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget that the baby dragon in 41173 Elvendale School of Dragons was a repeat from 41077 Aira's Pegasus Sleigh (which isn't doing great either). So if demand would primarily originate from the inlusion of baby dragons the repeat would split the demand between two sets. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon74 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 I guess the baby dragon has to come with the egg then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
