adewar Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I got one a couple of weeks back at Toys R Us with a 20% off coupon ($220). The box condition on it is a bit rough though. I love this shuttle - it will be hard to resist building it. I hope you get a nice one from Amazon. If the box condition isn't good they will take it back which is nice. I got a Haunted House from them with a smashed corner, so I returned it for another one with a sightly less smashed corner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legodog Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I passed on this myself because there are no photos and the buyer only has 75 feedback but anyone out to take a little more risk here it is: http://www.ebay.com/itm/LEGO-IMPERIAL-SHUTTLE-10212-FACTORY-SEALED-/150989576870?pt=Building_Toys_US&hash=item2327ae1aa6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legodog Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Hmmmmmmmmmm........... My thoughts exactly. I would love to jump on this but there is just too much risk here I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanearp Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 As much as I know that E-Bay would likely cover if this is not legit, it is just too fishy. All his feedback is from low-dollar stuff, then all the sudden quantity of 4 higher dollar items. Whats that smell...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephen_rockefeller Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Yeah I think BP members should pass on this one.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JLouie Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 wow that was fast. i went to take a look and it was all bought by the same person! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comicblast Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 wow that was fast. i went to take a look and it was all bought by the same person! May the force be with them. Hopefully that person will get the items. How much was the Imperial Shuttle at regular retail price? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, no, don't delete. People need to make informed decisions and the more examples of these that are seen, the better. I think that the discussion that we are having will help.

Legodog Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 May the force be with them. Hopefully that person will get the items. How much was the Imperial Shuttle at regular retail price? The retail price was $259 I believe. Amazon had them for sale for $239 for a while. Looks like they are going for around $300 on eBay lately.

Legodog Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I monitor eBay's new LEGO listings all day long and I see a lot of crap but every now and then I see something that could pass as legit but it is borderline. I would rather post it here and let everyone make up their own mind than not post it at all. If anyone thinks I shouldn't be posting this stuff just let me know and I will definitely back off. The last thing I want to do is lead a BP member into a bad deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaisonline Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 His seller feedback isn't impressive but I would've taken a chance. eBay protects buyers... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justgod Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 He has them up again. Listing title says they are a Private Auction, but he did not set those parameters when he created the listing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich B Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 This is very fishy IMO, I would stay away!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephen_rockefeller Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 You know some people don't care if its a scam as long as they got it at a good price right??? Just keep perpetuating the cycle people......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anakinisvader Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Actually, he looks to be a trading card dealer. I used to deal in sports cards and the such back in the day. Card dealers like to turn items for quick profit. He looks to have no idea what that set is worth. I could be wrong but I think he's legit. He has bought and sold a bunch in the last few months. Just my opinion. I would have taken the chance and bought from him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephen_rockefeller Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Lol the only way he is making a profit at that price is if it is NOT legit.......sorry dude its has to be some type of scam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich B Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Lol he only way he is making a profit at that price is if it is NOT legit.......sorry dude its has to be some type of scam. Yeah he would've had to purchased the set for under $200 in order to maybe break even selling it at $240. There's a reason his feedback sucks! Stay away people!!!

stephen_rockefeller Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 I should clarify.......It is my opinion that this is a scam by just looking at it, no one knows for sure except the seller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirate Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Yeah he would've had to purchased the set for under $200 in order to maybe break even selling it at $240. There's a reason his feedback sucks! Stay away people!!! While this is without a doubt a scam of some sort, and I don't think he obtained these for under $200, I must say that it is at least a possibility. They've been obtainable for $195 at TRU and under $200 at amazon in the past, and I obtained all my main inventory for under $180 each at S @ ****.

Fcbarcelona101 Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Tried to get one but apparently I was too late already. Still shows the 259.99 price but does not allow me to check out. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00883VGJK/ref=oos_itemTitle_0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legodog Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 What??????? Amazon, this is retired. Let's leave it that way. Although I wouldn't mind picking up a couple more if this is true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fcbarcelona101 Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 And that's it. The price is not showing now, only 3rd party sellers. Didn't last long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
