Sfcommando14 Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 I had some hope for Dr Who, but UK power sellers will have killed it dead. It's just been available for too long and too widely at discount, and Tabby won't be the only one who has been loading up in big numbers. It could take a year or two before it even hits RRP at this rate.It's been out for 11 months... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No DW or E1 yet ;-) I gobbled up a lot of WALL-E when they had them for £26.78 during the promotion last month. Still a good deal at £30 and worth a punt.

donbee Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 It's been out for 11 months...I think this is a good point, People are trying to predict, guess, how this will pan out according to the past results of other sets. But really, they have no Idea what they're talking about. Idea sets are a different beast entirely from any other theme. And within Idea sets, DW is in a league of its own. What can you compare it to? Birds? Exosuits? Maze? Ghost busters seems like it would be, but it's not the same. It's a Hollywood movie franchise from the 80's with a big time star Bill Murray. Top of the A list. And a cartoon who's audience is now in the AFOL age. DW is a tv show from Britain. A strong devoted following, but not a Blockbuster like GB was. Like comparing Dolphins and Sharks. May easily be mistaken when you see that dorsal fin in the water, but an entirely different beast. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"TLG won't retire anything and everything lives forever!" So TLG retires an Ideas set based on popular, multi-generational IP in under a year, and..."It was out too long and too heavily discounted". Good times. 13 minutes ago, donbee said: But really, they have no Idea what they're talking about. I see what you did there 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They get in and out of the price matching game often, mostly because their employees and managers can't figure it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kd123 Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Yrmv as I've had a few store managers say that they don't price match against their own online store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edgecrusher Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 (edited) Got the Spidey Bridge 2 weeks ago for $62.20 out the door, so that's pretty good. Managed to get Superhero Airport Battle with the big Ant Man down to $41.98 today with $10 reward, 20% off Superhero sets, TRUTH, and 20% off gift card. Pretty happy with that entry price along with the Bricktober Minifig pack. *8% sales tax in my county, so that hurts a bit on the final price Edited October 20, 2016 by edgecrusher 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
