Pedilego Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Hoth Base is supposed to come out this year. Demand for the AT-ATs is going to go up-up-up. AT-AT needs UCS treatment. Lego has known this though so who knows when it will happen. ISD has gotten a UCS version and will receive TFA treatment before an OT UCS happens again. The TFA Armored Transport is only seen in the background briefly during Hux's speech and imo looks terrible vs. an appealing ship receiving lots of screen time a cool "Finalizer" name to boot. They'll make a new ship much sooner and that's if the AT even happens at all. imo If I had the choice of one or the other I would've bought the AT-AT, held it for the UCS Hoth set, and sold it during that set's life cycle (pre-empting an imminent UCS AT-AT) for a nice time:return ratio.

Val-E Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 The most likely scenario is a TFA ISD playset coming out in the summer. Therefore time to make hay while the sun shines on this set and let the AT AT appreciate more slowly as it is less likely to be remade as a playset.

THere are still quite few QFLL´s (and shops) still selling AT AT´s below RRP here but ISD is now on the up. Wow I hadn't actually been keeping an eye on this one what with r5,tumblers,at-at,etc Lowest BIN is £175 uk, that's excellent, and unexpected (well from me) I bought mine 3 months ago in sept for £69ea, and was thinking I might be able to get these price mid year.

thoroakenfelder Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Now that this set is gone and the price is escalating, I feel like I am less likely to open and build the one I got for myself, and more likely to treat it like inventory. I wasn't really into the set before I bought it, I just did because it was my last opportunity to get it at this price for my personal collection.

Val-E Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 The entire Spanish stock has been wiped out in one day - I assume there will be relistings but that´s a great sign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be too disgusted by the margins on it compared to the other 10 I have (all at 25% off or more) so I wouldn't feel bad opening it.

josh_676 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Price seems to have peaked at 350 to 400 on this one in Aus, none have sold for 7 days now, some lowering of prices going on, and offers of free postage, still nothing moving. Quite easy to sell on BSS pages between 250 - 300. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hogi Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 on ebay germany, around 8 have sold in the last 2 days. all around 190€ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now all we need is EV to go Yeah I did the same, I did not expect an increase this large so quickly when the buy in was only £69, so I put 5 up for £200 each on Amazon, as kind of a test and they all sold within 72 hours. I even got questions about them, and you never really get questions on Amazon. Anyway I'll be keeping the rest until Christmas, let the good times roll. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Val-E Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Very nice uptick in demand on this one recently. It is making a fool of AT AT and Mos in Europe, as predicted. I can see it getting to 300 euros with a bit of R1 help before the remake comes out and ruins everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did sell a pair of these last week, one at $200us cash which was a nice surprise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HandyHand Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 The going rate for the ISD on the Dutch Marktplaats ads site is currently at €180 - €185 NISB. Dutch buyers will go to great lengths to score a good deal and there are still plenty of sellers offering around that price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
