coelian Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 One of the local retailers took stock of more than 700 sets a few weeks ago, it's down to 50 now. I'm really surprised this small market can absorb that many of these trains. When I saw the amount of stock I did not dare get any to do a QFLL.

KShine Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 I really had hopes for this one - in time, I suppose. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just offloaded my only copy locally for $120 to someone who asked for one for Xmas and didn’t get it. Cant wait for the restock at lego either. nice gentlemen, talked about the LUG he was in. My buy in was rrp from s&h and got the 12-1 build up which someone else bought for $25 cash. No ragrets 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmind Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Bought 6 at RRP (€660), sold 3 for €430 in first weeks. Bought parts for color changes (€50). Built 1 in black/red, 1 in white and kept 1 original. Was fun! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eliminator Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 This set is a very slow seller here in Canada. My local Lego store manager mentioned that they have only sold "a few." This style of locomotive is unrecognizable in North America. IMO, this one is for the collectors and train enthusiasts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. If they wanted to make a push back into trains this probably wasn’t the best model to do so. Hopefully slow sales doesn't equate to them holding back future 18+ trains.

I think the rail network/ community in North community isn't as big as UK / EU. Over here it is a very good seller and will do well post EOL. Should do well in North america aswell, as even if pre retirement sales aren't good, it will still be a desirable model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegoC777 Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 What does everything think about this set investment wise? Does anyone think this set will reach at least over $200 or more in the next 2 years from now? Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bricklectic Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 its already at 185 on amazon and there are very few sellers - i sold 15 of them last couple weeks. So it should easily be 250 in a yearIt was largely overlooked since it wasnt popular in the usa and then it went poof almost overnight. Which actually turned out to be the case for most large sets this year. Barraccuda bay, batmobile, t rex. theyre all gunna be winners for that reason imo.
