  1. One was sold for 305 € incl. shipping @ ebay Germany, recently. Looks promising. Let's wait till christmas. Maybe we can start a poll to see in which quantities this set is hoarded.
  2. Would be kind if you name your source of supply- I'd like to aquire another one...
  3. Guess it's because of vacation time that only few are for sale right now. But nevertheless this set seems to be not as heavly horded as other exclusives, e. g. 10188, 10220, 10225... Glad I bought a few of them, guess if there's future demand from AFOL's it could be a great winner.
  4. Guess next cristmas we'll see Depends on how many were stocked by reselleres. Think it's far less horded than other exclusives, Modulars especially.
  5. Well, I think this set is a winner. Lifespan of approx. 2 years, popular theme, not to overpriced, ...
  6. Concerning all the discussed aspects, lets keep the facts: 1. Quite a few exclusive sets are unavailable at the moment. LEGO may make them available sooner or later, or maybe never. 2. Only a higher LEGO employee knows why and how long all these sets are unavaliable. None of the hotline guys really knows, they just tell you what they're told to tell or what they believe- most propably a mixture of both 3. The really important question is in which manner it affects your investment strategy. Honestly it shouldn't that much because decision based on emotional thoughts like "dam i missed the boat on PC, PR, ... time to panic !" is a sign you didn't build up a stock in the past, which you should have Personal thoughts: 1. I don't believe LEGO really cares about resellers. What are resellers for LEGO? Customers who buy sets in larger quantities than normal, keep the sets in order to make a profit in the future. Resellers just increase profit for LEGO right at the moment they buy sets, that's it 2. Most of you will agree that the reseller-market grew largely within the last years. Different times nowadays, I don't expect most sets to double or triple in 1 or 2 years 3. Don't try to investment in every sets ore lines. Analyze your given circumstances: How much money, time and space is available and how long will I keep the sets. Buying Decisions should be based on these circumstances 4. The key to succesful LEGO investing ? information, information, information ! True, reliable inside information- it's as precious as gold
  7. Just give it some more time- maybe 1 or 2 years Ebay is flooded of them, right now. What would really affect the price in a positive way if LEGO releases an update of the Fokker DR I.
  8. Hey man if the UCS DS Storage Box has gone EOL, the DS will follow for sure... That's the kind of inside information I've been waiting for.
  9. You're absolutely right about the Galeria sale. Let's hope this set is at least close to EOL. Whatever close means.... On the other hand Galeria had a sale on 10232 PC last week and it seems this one will be around for a while.
  10. It's already listed as "sold out" in Europe, by the way.
  11. Guess a remake of Fokker Dr. 1 may be the next airplane. Would be fantastic to pair with the Sopwith.
  12. Hey guys, what's your opinion- will the SC sell out before christmas in Europe? Limit of 5 per order, currently (LEGO Shop at Home). Seems like LEGO still has a few in stock. By the way wouldn't a remake of the Fokker Dr. I be nice ?
  13. Wouldn't do that, too. Just found it funny that the set fits the Sheppard song. You can actually play the song. Singing "Geronimo" when jumping into the skid, "Bombs away" when tossing the rock - And of course you've get the "curtains of the waterfall"...
  14. Sitting on a pile of 79110 Silvermines. Quite lame thing so far. Wonder if merchandising them as "Geronimo" instead of "Lone Ranger" would be advisable ...
  15. Yep, AFAIK SSD currently on backorder at LEGO LEGO Shop at Home (Europe). Expected Shipment date 09-30-14
  16. @ Ed Thanks you just wiped my doubts away ... I will grab 1or 2 propably. Any thoughts about EOL at LEGO Shop at Home in Europe? Would be nice if the SSD retires during 2x VIP-Points in October or before Christmas.
  17. Hi Folks, just one question from an absolute Star Wars rookie. Read the review of the SSD, recently. Why do you guys think the SSD will perform worse in Europe compared to the US. Should pass this one by slightly below retail, or grab one ?
  18. No excavator to be released in 2015, if the list on Eurobricks is correct. Guess that may help. Cheers
  19. Hi Folks, how about your opinion on 42006 Technic Excavator. Worth picking up ? When will we see EOL for this set - Early/mid 2015 ? Retails for 59,99
  20. question from a newbie: Is the Unimog worth to be picked up at full RP (199
  21. Hi Folks, I'm just new in Lego Investing... What's a fine discount on Architecture sets ? Don't see them at high discount here in Europe. Got the chance to buy 21011 Brandenburg gate 40% off. Guess that's no to bad...
