Now I am wondering if I shot my load too early? I've read that there won't be many discounts on this set. But should I cancel the order and wait? It will be around for at least 12-24 months. Maybe the set will go to retail. I know Smyths in Ireland carry large sets like the Millennium Falcon for 800 euro. With this purchase you earned ~ 31 Euro (5%) of VIP points worth, and the free Coffee Cart. If you have enough patience, you may be able to buy the Titanic at double VIP points (~63 Euro worth) and possibly a free GWP at the same time, but no guarantee on that. Personally I have patience and will wait for a double VIP on everything going together with a GWP promo to maximize what I get back. Edited November 9, 20214 yr by HandyHand
November 9, 20214 yr Thanks HandyHand, I am new to the Lego/VIP business, so not sure how to get double VIP. Anyway, I will hang on to my set, if I can resist not building it
November 16, 20214 yr Titanic docked today! Will need to sell the 10210 to make room to display it. If anyone is interested I am the original owner it was built once and has been on display for around 10 years in a smoke free but not dust free home. I have the box, instructions and all of the minifigures, sails are in great shape. TBH it is not the greatest build in comparison to the new pirate ship but is a nice display piece.

I was worried that if I placed the set on a shelf, it might be too heavy and the shelf collapse over time.

November 16, 20214 yr You got the QAR that was up there on that same shelf like 5 years ago mine as well go for it [emoji6] Lol. Good point. Still love the QAR too.

November 16, 20214 yr I feel like one could MOC a Superman fortress and would also serve as an ice berg

November 18, 20214 yr I am such a moron. I had one ordered, then cancelled it so I would order it this weekend to get double VIP, and now its sold out. What an absolute failure.

November 21, 20214 yr I will 100% buy one for personal build and display, but not in any rush. The only way I would have purchased day one was if there was some sort of epic GWP. I'm waiting for at least double VIP points.
