Val-E Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Now I wonder if what they have done is ship out unsold stock from Europe. If it was a new batch you would expect Lego shop to have first dibs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zskid00 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 I can't actually get through to checkout on the Amazon pre-order. Is anyone else able to order currently? I tried about 10-15 minutes ago and it was already sold out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ciglione Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 I can't decide... sell now or hold ???? :hyper: Sell half of your 7965 stack. That is what I am considering. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val-E Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Yup, the cheap ones have to move out this week and the expensive ones will be held for the enjoyment of future generations of AFOLs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yinchuan Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Found one on Craigslist for 130. Normally would not consider something this close to retail, but really want to put away a second sealed set. Safe bet this will still pay off?

Not much more than the best price at TRU using coupons lately and they are going for about $200 now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegoBuildingMama Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Check Amazon. I just got two sets at $139.97. They're flashing in and out of stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yinchuan Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Wow. These jumped up in price so fast i am unsure whether to hold or to sell. Will they drop back down again after Christmas or is this just the beginning of appreciation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmock12 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Can anyone tell me what this weighed after boxed up and ready to ship? I'm at the office and don't have my scale with me and need to ship one out. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MathBuilder Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 7 pounds with decent padding and box. Packed one yesterday. Box size I used 24x17x6. But a 24x16x4 will fit it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
templesweeper Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I bought one back in November for the double points on Lego.com. Glad I did. I think this set is just about done, if not already. I guarantee you that there will be a new Falcon set with the new movie coming out. There's no way there isn't. And this may be the last of the "classic" Falcon sets for a LOOOONG time. A long time. And by classic, I mean with the round antenna (not the square one the new Falcon has), and, of course, the minifigs that come with it.

trekgate502 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I couldn't resist I sold 2 of mine at $199.95 on ebay and that's now the bottom number. I'm keeping the rest. Now to figure out how many I have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exciter1 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I may have to put one up that I don't really want to sell at $215 or so and if sells, so be it heh. I bumped up mine too. Drive up those prices folks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yinchuan Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 What is estimated ceiling on this set in your opinion? I just wonder if dust settles after Christmas flurry or continues to climb after true retirement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iahawks550 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Depends on whether there is another run. If not, upwards. Ceiling depends on a re-release with the new movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val-E Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Tomorrow I will get my new order and will share the seal codes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
templesweeper Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Again, we aren't going to get a pure re-release of the Falcon for a long time. If people want the "classic" Falcon, this will be the last one for, my guess, a decade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmock12 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I sold one for $235 shipped this morning. Raise those prices folks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yinchuan Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I agree that the "classic" Falcon will stand alone for years to come, but I got burned when the new ISD came out because it was essentially heads and tails better than the previous model. I only have two new Falcons so want to make the right call... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
templesweeper Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I basically see the Falcon staying around the $200 price point for a while post retirement. Then, when the new one comes out it may dip a little at first, but then when the new sequels drum up renewed interest in Episodes 4-6, people will want some of the classic sets again. Just my guess on how this could roll. I'd sell right now if you have a lot of quantity, and if you don't, I'd wait a few years then if you can afford the wait.

Yinchuan Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Great advice. I think I will see how this upsurge plays out for another day or so and maybe release one and keep one for later. I have a used one in my PC with box and instructions that may benefit from all this down the road as well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meowingthings Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 My local Walmart still has 8 of these @140 + 5.5% sales tax. Boxes pretty beat up. Just can't bring myself to buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val-E Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Make em an offer to take all 8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
