Ciglione Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 (edited) When I bought the one today there was another one on the shelves. But there was a big big hole in the front of the box. It was big enough to doubt all the content was still there. I asked for a possible discount on that one but the lady said no. So I had to leave it there all by itself.

Then hide them all under your shirt and fly back! Quote

So you do not have to go over there. Edited August 24, 2015 by Ciglione Quote

Val-E Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 Depends on your expectations of resale value. Grab a couple of TH´s too and you have paid for the flight and baggage! Quote

If you could get them back at no extra cost then airfare would be justifiable if you were buying 10. Quote

We do have some downsides to our slow market like not having Ferris Wheel or Slave 1 yet. Quote
Chutchis Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 I am also based in Glasgow. The ToO sat for ages. The Monday after the weekend it sold out they were gone. My hunch is that staff also indulge or other people got there at the weekend. The exact same thing happened to me last year with the Halloween Mansion, I watched for ages then bought online, it was canceled by TLG. Went to store and they were gone. I ended up getting it on eBay for £275! However I used the experience to encourage me to buy the SSD which is nicely appreciating. If you can't get it easily then get it quickly off eBay, or buy something else that might later fund it through appreciation. Quote

Ciglione Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 One MISB has just been sold at auction for 275 euro on Ebay Germany. So there are still chances out there. Quote
hannibal Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 In the uk it jumped from £170 retail to ~ £230 on ebay. Goood start in the realms of eol! Quote

GiliusThunderhead Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 I've been offered one (used/ pre built but complete) for EUR 250 including shipping. Still really want one for the personal collection (so as long as its complete used doesn't matter). General opinion that i should jump on this one or bide my time and see if i can get it cheaper?

Val-E Posted August 26, 2015 Posted August 26, 2015 That´s right, control the market then name your price. What seals do they al have? It would appear that last big run didn´t make it out of Lego´s own warehouse. Quote
