toni8284 Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Hi, I really want to get a 10196. how many of 41999 you think it's fair to trade a brand new 10196? anyone who had a 10196 and interested to trade 41999, please PM me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxofcorey Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 3? 4? It's going to depend on what the buyer thinks the future value of the 41999 is. I mean, rare as it is, it's still a Technic set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinP Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 3? 4? It's going to depend on what the buyer thinks the future value of the 41999 is. I mean, rare as it is, it's still a Technic set. That is what I was estimating too. I am leaning more towards 4 because the 10196 is worth about $1350. I would out a current value of the 41999 at about $350. You also have to factor in the value of the 10196 in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toni8284 Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Great. Thanks for the help. Now I am looking for people that would like to trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akohns Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 The 10196 so awesome. I loved building the one I got my hands on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbietobbie Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Admittedly I'm a Technic fan, but given the fact the 41999 is a limited set and just 1.5 months on the secondary market, I do see much more potential at the 41999. Whereas in percentage the GC will naturally slow down its increase. So personally I would first await Xmas time and see how the Boss will appreciate before making some hasty decisions. Good luck what ever your decision will be ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Honestly I would look to trade for a used one - especially if you are going to build it. Then you might be able to trade 2 for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toni8284 Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 I don't mind trade 4 for a new one. Since it will cost me 800 to get 4x41999 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 I don't mind trade 4 for a new one. Since it will cost me 800 to get 4x41999 Are you gonna open the new one though? Seems like a lot of money to give up considering the used price is <$500 less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toni8284 Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Yes. The new one is for myself to build I getting the 10196 is for build not for resale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxofcorey Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Yes. The new one is for myself to build I getting the 10196 is for build not for resale I get that it's cool to go through the whole experience... but spending ~500$ extra to OPEN a box is pretty crazy.

asharerin Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Personally I would just buy an already opened 10196 if you are going to build it. A sealed 10196 is extremely tough to come by as most will be in the hands of collectors who will not let them go for any reasonable price.

Robbietobbie Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 I don't mind trade 4 for a new one. Since it will cost me 800 to get 4x41999 How do you manage that? One 41999 on ebay over here will - at very least - get you 440+ USD net i.e. after fees deducted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toni8284 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 i dont need a sealed box. but I just wanna to have a opened one with new sticker. But most I found is sticker already applied or sticker not in good condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenchu2000 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 I think the 10196 will continue to hold value, until TLG or someone releases a programmable sound brick. I think the only valuable (impossible to find) piece in 10196 is the sound brick, and perhaps the green 48x48 baseplate. 10196 is a very beautiful set and kids love it, but I am not sure if it's worth over $1000. For that price, I'd rather look for a complete Statue of Liberty. Anyone here wants to trade 41999 for Statue of Liberty? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcyeoh1976 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 I am new to LEGO investment. Having a strong feeling to kick start LEGO investment.... but still feel a bit scared of the amount need to invest. On the other hand, yes, I do wish to build it also..... I have the 9398 and modular buildings. Any advice will be much appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephen_rockefeller Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 I would start by reading the articles and blogs on this site, they are very well written and cover manyn of the questions you might have. The articles suggest sets that could be great investments. A lot of research is required to successfully invest in LEGO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
