ZULU Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Speaking as a reseller, this set will do very well.This will be one of the best performing sets for the coming years in Europe. Anybody who can still find one, grab it. I've been selling lots of LoTR retired sets, and this is the MOTHER of all LOTR sets. Truly impressive and UCS. Will never be reproduced again. (I guess that's a too bold statement after what happened to the WV TS)I agree with Ciglione. This set has all its stats in favour of it.

Ciglione Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 there is a gaggle of them on target.com and amazon.com right now. I bought my share x8.Did you at least haggle as you bought 8? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conceptmachine Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 If i were to sell them there would still be some wiggle room left even at retail. The fella on amazon has a limit of 2. Targets limit is 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

conceptmachine Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 (edited) The codes on the target boxes were 27 r6, I believe and amazon had fresh 40s. So guessing target found a pallet of oldies somewhere and SAH shared some with the zon. Edited October 28, 2015 by conceptmachine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

conceptmachine Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 That target 40r5 threw off my theory:) I guess I got a boatload of dust collector 27r5s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csfrankland Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 I got one from Amazon. Is it worth holding onto this thing long term? Takes up quite a bit of space! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a lot of sets that are showing the signs so money is being spent all over the place. Most of us reached our limit on this set already. Some sets are worth doubling down on but I don't think this is one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fully retired in Europe. Indicative prices in the reseller market: http://www.brickshop.nl/lego/lego-exclusives/lego-10237-the-tower-of-orthanc.html This set will shine. 199$ is a bargain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landphieran Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 I am very interested to see how well the sets that are "anticipated" to retire, appreciate. I don't believe this type of continuing restock happened last year (veteran members correct me if i'm wrong). I think people are becoming very weary of going too deep because sets continue to hang around and its hard to keep throwing cash at something that may not go away. I believe this way of phasing out sets from Lego is going to be very effective at minimizing the initial investing bump for most sets (diamonds in the rough will follow a different path). I have backed off a few sets personally because of the sets phasing out and instead targeted some gambles instead. I may regret it in the future... we'll see.
