I normally always skip the technic. But this one got my attention. It's one the best set I've seen, but I've not seen a lot of technic, so I'm not sure it's a real "wow set". And I can buy it at 20% off, and I'm not sure if should buy it now or wait, since technic seem to sell slower

I bought a bunch of these when Amazon had their 3rd off sale recently bringing these down to

I always seem to be miss these sales . Would it be worth flipping them at RRP? Fees would be approx

I saw this built at Toysrus recently! Gotta say, it is huge!

Let me put it this way, this car was aimed at adults who likes to fiddle around with the car after it is built.

How playable is it? I do not like the motorized version where battery looks like a big tank - very odd. Is there any way to use small battery and hide in somewhere?

I have an opportunity to buy a lego 42000 set new and sealed for 102.50 no tax. What do you all think about the deal?

That's $20 off retail, maybe $30 after tax. They seem to vary on ebay, but I don't think it's a terrible idea!

I was leaning the same way. Around West Texas the only retailers that carries them for a 5.5 hours drive distance are TRUs. TRU prices the set at $159+tax -- ouch!

 

Thanks for the thoughts. Have good one!

Are you going to build? Invesment wise, you can definitely get lower so wait.

 

As for building, its a sweet set so go for it.,

U think 42000 will go below the current $98 deal from uk amazon going on right now?

No one can guarantee a lower price but I'll wait if I were you.

Thxs.  Eventually I want to get some of these and looking for the right price entry point.  If uk amazon had the same deal on the service truck, I'd jump.

If looking to build there is a nice used one on eBay for $88 stickers never applied

Never mind it is $85 with $12.95 shipping today must have gotten revised

They were about $80 from Amazon UK last Fall, so I've been waiting for that deal again.

I am wondering how this set will do after EOL. It looks really nice in my opinion.

I'm very surprised by the fact that the common price here is about -20% MSRP, anytime, anywhere (on the web).

That's the reason why I'm holding and have only one set (got with 30% off, easily again)...

 

I'm really not sure but have a bad feeling about it (CAGR about 0/5 % IMO), and the fact that there is no licence (mac laren, ferrari, etc.) will not help IMO.

Yeah, it's a winner at that Amazon UK price we got one time.

3 seperate times I have gotten a total of 10 of them at 80$ or less.

Although this is a tough comparison given the difference in release dates, the 8461 Williams F1 Team Racer is very similar to 42000 in size and shape, albeit with a license. The price guide has the Williams going for $400 NISB. FWIW-

I don't have them all anymore, but I still have a few. I got a decent amount of them last year and not being near EOL I cashed in at Christmas for $130 a piece.

 

Amazon UK twice, and Meijer had a killer sale on them where I got 4 for 72$

Yeah I really think this one will be a nice gainer. I am worried I should have kept all the others but I made good money flipping the majority of them. Still have a few though.
