Justy6969 Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 I think it is following the usual LEGO pandemic - TOOS, retires quietly in background while no one notices effect. That seems to be commonplace at moment. I have only seen a few sets that went TOOS return to any kind of full availability this year. All UK retailers have zero stock , or it is listed as ‘no longer available’ which is pretty much saying , we are not getting it back from past experience.

Has Lego had any other figures like these (where you can't feel the contents)? Curious what folks thoughts on short vs long term re-sale looks like. Opened vs Unopened blind? Sell this year or hold for a while? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redcell Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Vidiyo seems to have fallen flatter than any other theme in recent memory. I have very little confidence in any of them. I’m not sure I’d buy them at 70% off because of the space they would take.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the Series 2 Bandmates seems to be an outlier in the theme (I still pass on the beatbox things at 75% off). They are pretty cool figures and appear to be selling at a reasonable premium in the secondary market already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is that they are pretty close to peak prices. Right now people who need to complete their entire collection are after them. I can't imagine that there will be huge demand 2 years from now when most people have forgotten the theme and new collectors have no real reason to pursue them. Perhaps a few of them hold their value longterm, but in general I think that you will probably get more short term rather than long term. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It must have been something I still wanted to get, so curious how I can find this out. Inspecting the page source code does not help unfortunately. Anyone any tips? Unbelievable ....

Always felt they borrow a little from here and there, sometimes primary sources but oftentimes secondary or rumor mill type stuff. Promobricks/Stonewars are the gold standard. But they are a good compilation type site Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
