Not wrong at all.  With Amazon selling at $49.50 (same as Chowren) this little set is already showing some nice legs.  I'm considering grabbing a few more at Canadian retail ($39.99)...but I'm still trying to find a promo or code to bring them down at least 15-20%

Thanks, that made up my mind.  Saw them this morning... now must go back and retrieve them from my hiding spot... LOL... is that wrong hiding retired lego sets?

I just had this same luck and bought 7 at retail the other day. With as much as they have gone up in so little time, I think they are safe. Only tough stuff with smaller sets is they usually have a quicker ceiling just because people look at them and say "how much am I getting for the money?". With this set, I really think it will top out around 80$ or 90$ before it slows. So many figures and everything.

 

At 30$ I look to sell around $75 which shouldn't be hard at all.

Hiding Lego sets is bush league in my opinion, seems like something a child would do; either buy them or move on.

 

 

I have never seen a child hide toys in the toy aisle.  They usually want to play with all of them and ask to if they can have it. Anyway, I am not an impulse buyer and I like to make sure the product(s) I am investing in are worth my time and money.

 

By the way, by the time I got back they had restocked the shelve (which is odd) with several more sets.  I had to explain to wifey why I had more sets then I said I was going to have.  BOUGHT THEM ALL!!

 

Thanks again everyone!!

Ouch!  In the grand scheme of things I don't know that it is all that bush league...maybe like triple A, but not bush league.  I actually think...savvy?

Savvy... yeah... more like panic... Mind you there is horrible WiFi/cell reception in WM so this is how my mind processed the situation:

 

I have to get home and check with Brickpicker to see what everyone thinks... must explain, no justify to wifey why this set would be good for the portfolio... I don't want to leave them here out in the open... where to put them... I guess I could buy them and bring them back if they are duds... gas... time.. hmm... galaxy squad... there seems to be a few of them here... what if I tuck the sets behind... here... and here... and there.  Maybe I should stick to the lego isle... done.

 

That was the situation in a nutshell.
