Basictoaster Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 (edited) Ecto-1 was my first LEGO investing purchase (yea, im new to this). I'm bias but I think this will do well EOL regardless of the new movie. Edited March 18, 2016 by Basictoaster Can't spell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrymc4677 Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Amazon has lowered their purchase limit to one. I ordered some a couple weeks ago and was allowed to order two at a time. I just tried to order two more and it would only allow one to be added to the cart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 (edited) This is a much better model than the delorean but overproduction and the horde will make it not even half as profitable. Edited April 6, 2016 by MarxMarvelous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cravacor Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 What strategies are BPers using to get this set under RRP? TRUTH tactics are the only thing I have been able to come up with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So not too much there anymore either. That's why during the summer was a better time to acquire these at TRU before the price hike...

The amount of these being hoarded just on this very forum ensures that this item will most likely have a very low end of life profit margin. Will it overshadow the cost of holding it, storing it, and then reselling? Who knows, but the new version hurts this even more and the minifigs this one comes with are already being counterfeited and sold on eBay for just a few bucks. Hmm...

I'm still optimistic on this set, despite the huge hoarding of it demand is also huge for this set, Blocks magazine stated it was the highest selling set for 2014 and I've never seen it drop out of the top 25 on SAH. There are counterfeited minifigures for every set released these days so that's not an issue affecting only this set. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
