I've only got the one and that's signed as well so may well not get round to the pleasure of building that at all... Quote

MusiKyle Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 I'm in for 2 (one to build, one to keep). There's a nice thing going with the Ideas ISS, Ideas Saturn V, Ideas Women of NASA, and the Creator Expert Lunar Lander. It's interesting how this compares to Central Perk... Quote

MusiKyle Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 On 1/21/2020 at 5:00 PM, $20 on joe vs dan said: I'm not seeing a correlation in the table Expand I'm not either. I feel like they either underpriced Central Perk or overpriced ISS. Usually a set with a license costs more than those without. Usually a set with more pieces (not always) costs more than a set with less pieces. Was trying to also point out that Central Perk includes a full 7 minifigures and still comes in $10 less than ISS. Both are Ideas sets there shouldn't be any difference there. On 1/21/2020 at 5:02 PM, thebrickdad said: It's the Lego 'This is going to be a very popular set' tax.

BricksBrotha Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 Lunar lander, women of nasa Saturn V all great sellers. The big bang theory, insta-discount. Smells like lego trying to predict the market to maximize profits. Quote

Expand My conclusion is Friends is a no-brainer buy in the US as in Europe the price points are exactly the opposite with ISS being cheaper. Interestingly, ISS is cheaper in some other countries than Germany, the usual lowest RRP marker. Quote

All 70€ IDEAS sets were great if bought at a discount. 21313 is my best performing set right now (a waaay overpriced set imo). And I think these 2 are way better sets at 70€, can't go wrong with a 35% discount. Quote

MusiKyle Posted January 22, 2020 Posted January 22, 2020 This picture of a patch has been floating around. I still have two patches from the Lunar Lander, this will be neat to add to the collection. I think I'm planning on getting three of this ISS set on Day 1 (unless qty 2 restriction applied). One to build, one to keep, and one for a birthday gift. Quote
