Spartikis Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Ok, so ive had numerous FB and GE sitting in a closet for years! Should i keep holding onto them and wait for them to retire, i imagine i should be soon, or should i return a couple of them and get a LEGO gift card and use it to buy some LOTR sets i know will retire soon? I feel i have to much $ tied up in these modulars and with how long they have been around they may not retire for quite awhile and even if they do the market is probably so flooded with them i dont see the price going up for a LONG time and when it does i just picture them selling for like $200 on ebay, barely enough to make any kind of profit at all.

Alcarin Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Id keep them... no point in trading really and personally I would not trade Helm's Deep for FB unless its 1 for 1 and I guess thats kinda losing heavy money (for FB owner) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephen_rockefeller Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 That would be like running in a marathon and quitting after 24 miles. Just messing with ya but I would hold on to some to see what these will do once EOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huskers1236 Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Yeah, might as well hold now, their finally getting to the finish line. I understand your frustration with them and it's why I don't have any, but now would be the worst time to rinse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diabolos80 Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Actually since TLG put the kibosh on any kind of discounts for exclusives, you might be able to unload a couple and break even, if you purchased them smartly. They're actually getting kind of rare on ebay already, and none listed are at or below retail. If I had more than 3 of each, I'd dump one of each and get some HDs before they're all gone.

I do have a couple of each, got most in the $130-140 range, might take 1 or two back, i just feel HD or other LOTR sets have more potential.

MartinP Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 I would hold the FB and GE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@rtisan Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 I`d hold as well. They will be gone soon more then likely, and then up goes the value. It sounds a bit like you are uneasy about seeing the sets, but not too much value yet. If that be the case, my advice is to hold. Cashing them out because of this is not a good idea usually. They will not bust, and once gone, they have no where to go but up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TabbyBoy Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Yeh, tell FB and GE not to come out of the closet just yet. ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
