Veegs Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Getting back to the original post, I would say the 10227 has been a dud so far because of the $99 and $150 sales. Remember, this was the last exclusive set ever discounted at Walmart, Amazon, etc... They appear a lot in the books published post-ROTJ. I know that Disney is not bound to that and are changing a lot of what is 'official' but I think we'll see A-Wings, B-Wings, X-Wings and E-Wings at the least.

bricki123 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 for me there is a simple calculation: if you think, there is a good increase in the next few months or 1-2 years, then buy it. no matter what price. even if its over MRSP! considering this, your 99$ deals were absolutely perfect, because for now you can sell this set for 220$. but keep in mind it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ciglione Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Was it also discounted heavily in Europe, e.***. for 99 euro? Paid 149 euro each for mine. The lowest I have seen in Europe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaisonline Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Was it also discounted heavily in Europe, e.g. for 99 euro? No. Only in the US through Lego and TRU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bricki123 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 imho in germany the lowest price was ~140 euro including all cashbacks etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudcatsfan Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Was it also discounted heavily in Europe, e.***. for 99 euro? the funny part about that, at the time, our European members here were screaming about their lack of discount on this set. Shortly after, Lego went to no discounts in the US at all whereas Europe started to get discounts on several exclusive sets. The tables were truly turned.

mscheaf Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I find it amazing that people continue to say that the avg price paid is irrelevant. I find it funny how people go back and forth on wether it is relevant or not to suit their particular needs for a particular argument. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerryherb Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Guys... sell them all to end-users or open them and build them.... so the value will get a push. i was able to get a damaged box cheap on top of my 10+ $99 stash so built it on that famous may the 4th, one down, youre welcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcdb1984 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 This thing better rise with the movie. Only reason why I havnt dumped my 1. Otherwise the box size and slow growth bothers me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mscheaf Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 There are a number of things only in the films briefly that are wildly popular. Boba Fett and the SSD come to mind right off the bat. I think the B-Wing is just an ugly ship and a stupid looking design and most people just don't like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hannibal Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Well..for that matter I wonder why is the Imperial Shuttle so criminally underrated then? It spent enough of time on the screen and looks epic, yet the gains on this set are minimal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephen_rockefeller Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 The imperial shuttle has doubled in price. Some people need to get their expectations in check and join us in the real world. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It spent enough of time on the screen and looks epic, yet the gains on this set are minimal! The imperial shuttle has doubled in price. Some people need to get their expectations in check and join us in the real world. It seems there is no shortage of them available in the secondary market (Ed's top set list confirms it was well hoarded). Despite there being some truth to joining you in the real world, I just have to agree with hannibal. The IS is just so incredible when built that I think the gains haven't kept pace with my expectations. I'm currently building the Sandcrawler and it looks so darn small and plain compared to the IS. I've been looking at the BWing's box in my storage area and it too looks so darn plain (not to mention the box is 100% fugly). Despite it being UCS and despite it being Star Wars, I have zero interest in keeping a BWing for my personal collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
