Jojoyojimbi Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 make sure you figure up what an inventory of all 29.99 rovers would have been, and if it was allowed i still would be at the top =P Elim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
znjndmawn Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Yes, I am that unlucky soul. I picked the Studio thinking I could see it being a $500 set in 6 months time...then a week or so later I saw it was coming back in stock. That was not cool. Luckier than me. LOL. Hope 76000 goes EOL. =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinP Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Here are a few more stats: The top set had a 46% price jump from Feb to March. Unfortunately for most they didn't have any in their portfolio. There was only 1 lucky/savvy person and that was MartinP who had 1 set. MartinP had a Tractor set as well and along with Quacs who had 3 was the only ones with those. That is awesome! I didn't think that the Dino HQ would go up that much so fast. I was thinking that it would be worth around $300, by the time the game was over. Now, all the other sets in my portfolio have to see some significant increases.

exciter1 Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 I'm curious to see how the S@H May 4th sale will impact the going rate of the Desert Skiff. The Batwing is picking up steam too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it lasted long enough to have much of an impact. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soadfan4ever Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 I don't think it lasted long enough to have much of an impact. I agree. And many that were sold in that short span were eventually cancelled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grolim Posted June 14, 2014 Author Share Posted June 14, 2014 Update will be incoming in a couple of days once price guide numbers are stable, see here: http://community.brickpicker.com/topic/10333-price-guide-update-the-empire-strikes-back-edition/ In the meantime you should be able to check out your own entries for a bit of a guide on how you are tracking.

Grolim Posted June 17, 2014 Author Share Posted June 17, 2014 New results are in! The April and May price guide updates happened simultaneously so we have a 2 month gap from our last update. Only one more month to go before the contest ends! IAmElim with his 28 x Wolverine Chopper has taken over top spot after the dip in price for Desert Skiff pushed jojoyojimbi and Mos_Eisley down the rankings a bit. Starpod and Busch97racing are a little ways back in 2nd and 3rd with their heavy portfolio of 5 x Unimog. The biggest mover since the March update in the positive direction is njseale up 35 places from 78th to 43rd. On the slide side we have tdw down 27 spots from 40th to 67th. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njseale Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 I have a feeling I would have a shot if the contest went a month or two longer, but my timing for my strategy looks to be off a bit. Congrats to IAmElim taking the top spot. If you had not done the #6866 maxout that was the strategy I was going to use. (along with being the one I thought would most likely win.)

Congrats to IAmElim taking the top spot. If you had not done the #6866 maxout that was the strategy I was going to use. (along with being the one I thought would most likely win.) Thanks! I should have managed my real life as I played this virtual game and bought more 6866! But in real life, it's much riskier to put all eggs in the same basket... One month left. It's not over until it's over! Just to make sure, what's the grand prize of this? 10179? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grolim Posted June 18, 2014 Author Share Posted June 18, 2014 This game must be rigged by the organiser, there is no way I should be that low! Shenanigans! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Raichu Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 The story of my life, stuck in the middle of the pack. At least I went up 1 spot to #26. Can we extend this competition to 26 months ? I am pretty I will raise to #1 by then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grolim Posted June 18, 2014 Author Share Posted June 18, 2014 Here's some more stats: Movements from the last price updates: Interesting that the two recent Minecraft releases appear on both lists. The entry by flyforawhiteguy contained 9 Nethers and 10 Villages, thus almost cancelling each other out. Most of the other sets were held in low numbers by only 1 or 2 entrants.
