Guys, just noticed that GE on TRU has a "our exclusive" on it. Is it going the way of VC now that target and Walmart doesn't have it anymore?

 

So classy...

Just trying to give heads up there will be better data options in the future...especially for people who sell on eBay.  

 

Will this data be available for the UK market as well Ed?

I wanted to discuss the  79008 Pirate Ship Ambush and pick your thoughts. 

This is in fact a set that will have disappeared by the end of the year - for sure. 

 

What is the general view? 

Is this a boat that people will need? 

Or is a LoTR more narrow - castle oriented theme?

 

How popular will the franchise be 2 years from now. 

Is it like Harry P, or more like Lone Ranger?

 

Now is the time to buy these boats very cheap, so it's worth a small discussion? no?

 

thanks for your constructive input, and sorry in advance if this might be repetitive to some. I'd rather talk almost 99.99% retired sets this year, than a maybe 2014/5 one... ;-)

Regarding GE being a TRU exclusive, Im not sure. But castle cavalry 70813 from the lego movie is also a "TRU exclusive" which is weird cause other retailers also carry it.

70813 is the "rescue reinforcements", exclusive to TRU.

 

Castle cavalry is set 70806... it's not exclusive...

If more than one retailer carries a set then it is not exclusive. TRU does this many times to make it look like their products cannot be found anywhere else, which makes uninformed  people want to buy that set, when they could be getting it cheaper somewhere else. TRU has done this to several sets.

If you see TRU bumped up theyre prices on the SSD and DS.. so maybe they have inside info on both those sets retiring. Now theyre just waiting for the hatchet? Any thoughts?

TRU bumped their prices on all exclusives, so no.

I hope soon because it has a big box, and you know what they say about a big box.

 

Oh yes I know exactly what a big box means thanks to a very nice lego employee. He said the bigger the box the quicker it retires.

Depends on what it is.  We have less Terapeak annual data from non-US eBay regions, so there might be some applications that might suffer, but Jeff is trying very hard to incorporate more and more options and features for non-US regions.

That it's a bit like shooting hoops with a tennis ball?

I actually prefer to use real basketball on regulation sized and height hoops. I do not think one can control a tennis ball as well since your palm is bigger that it
