red panda Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 (edited) There seems to be some serious over stockpiling of certain sets. Take 75091 Flash Speeder on sale at Lego, half price £17. Sounds good, but check bricklink and there are 380 sets available and only like 14 sales in the last 6 months similar story with the First Order Snowspeeder. What do people make of this???

I believe that Star Wars is way over-stockpiled which is why I now avoid the theme even at 50% off. The only exception being the £30 MFs from Tesco last year.

The page may be down but pretty much all sold out sets return for one or two last stands. I can imagine all the reseller scum that were buying multiples at full price in the last 90 days will be making visits to the post office this week, so check back in a month or so to see them in warehouse again.

Why would people want return sets that now costs at least £55 to buy back into? I didn't get lucky today but I have one at RRP from early January - I'm holding onto it and hope for £80+ by the end of the year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TabbyBoy Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Out Of Stock = Likely to return (as per the other 50% sets that came back into stock recently) Sold Out = Unlikely to return Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deano1980 Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 It's gone from the search now so maybe one last run for sale or maybe it will come back retired ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at sets like Flatiron or Ninjago training. They went through 3 separate price points and were sold out at some staged but cam back into stock. I am guessing they were returns either from shops or from individuals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red panda Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 I get the feeling Lego sales are down. I never thought I would see the day where they have to deep discount so many Star Wars products. Normally their deep sale items are stuff like ninjago water bottles, not flagship SW sets. Add to this inflation busting price increases and something feels up. Is the golden age over? hmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
