landphieran Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 I think people under estimate how well this is going to do. There were a billion of these made but the demand for this set is equally as great. We may think 50, 100, 400 of this set is a lot but they are selling 1000's of these a day. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joneyyy1981 Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 serious question guys, if you have something shortlisted, and it all of a sudden goes Retired, or you had no time to get in at discount, will you buy at RRP or just move on?

Depends on what it is. If sets go 2xrrp, it is totally worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FM Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 serious question guys, if you have something shortlisted, and it all of a sudden goes Retired, or you had no time to get in at discount, will you buy at RRP or just move on?The sets I've done this with tend to be short-runs that are still on store shelves at RRP (or WM 20% off RRP), but are showing signs of rapid appreciation online. MC Skeleton Attack ($32 buy-in) and Jr. SH 10724 ($16.xx buy-in) come to mind. There's something satisfying about going to multiple stores with stocked shelves and doing RRP arm sweeps:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's still a seasonal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
