CNH1974 Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Just had a thought. Reading through the various threads over the past few months I keep seeing people recommending; "buy this set, buy that set" and with my memory most of them go out of my head as soon as someone mentions the next hot tip. So, here is my Wish List of sets to buy before they go EOL: 7938-1: Passenger Train 8110-1: Unimog U400 3315-1: Olivia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comicblast Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Not sure what the realms of your investment dough is, but here is my dream list: Big: All UCS models Battle of Helm's Deep Technic 4x4 Technic Grand Prix Racer Medium: Jabba's Palace + Rancor Pit TRAINS TRAINS TRAINS Vampyre Castle Small: Battle Packs/sets that come are less than $20 and include 3+ minifigures. SpongeBob The Flying Dutchman SpongeBob Bikini Bottom Undersea Party SpongeBob Glove World SpongeBob Heroic Heroes of the Deep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add the VW Van in to the mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been steering clear of those as the market seems to be flooded. Tempted by 7965 MF though. It's due EOL soon. Got 3 of 9474. Careful to call it "Battle of Helms Deep", there is a game coming out called that I believe. Add the VW Van in to the mix. Got one. Must get another :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CNH1974 Posted June 18, 2013 Author Share Posted June 18, 2013 Isn't pirate ship already EOL? UG is on the list, for display and investing. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grolim Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Solid list. Off the top of my head I'd add the UCS R2-D2, SSD, and the Sopwith Camel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOrcKing Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Isn't pirate ship already EOL? Alcarin was referring to the new one coming out in the 2nd wave of Lord of the Rings sets; not the Pirates of the Carribean pirate ship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comicblast Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 To answer your question on UCS models, CNH1974, to my knowledge, there are only Star Wars UCS models thus far. There have been a few rumors about potential LOTR UCS models, but nothing has been confirmed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roxio Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 ^didn't we get a UCS Batmobile? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOrcKing Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 ^didn't we get a UCS Batmobile? Yep. That was the only UCS model outside of Star Wars ever released so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been a few rumors about potential LOTR UCS models, but nothing has been confirmed. What could they UCS ON LOTR? Orthanc is nearly one. The Black Gate or Helms Deep would be good. Edoras? But there is not much detail to the hall, it's mostly landscape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black_towr Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 A UCS Barad Dur or Minas Tirith would be awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNH1974 Posted June 20, 2013 Author Share Posted June 20, 2013 I suspect even in UCS Mina's Tirith would have to be in micro scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CNH1974 Posted June 20, 2013 Author Share Posted June 20, 2013 Yes, but bigger Maybe midi scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alcarin Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 I would prefer micro scale Minas Tirith... atleast that design makes it justice... midi scale or regular scale wil lbe either too large or to screwed up! we need parts of Minas Tirith not the whole city in 1 set otherwise it will never do it any justice at all. (unless its a 1000$ set) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
