Yeh this one could be a gold mine for the next 40 days but I am chicken and sold all but the one for me.

Put it into more R2's...

Upside is the floor is pretty high - I don't think anyone is going to lose money as big as this set is and doubt lego is churning out tons of them, no retail stores, etc.

 

Just a matter of maximizing profit.

I think they produced 5 EEE's of Minecraft and now that we have a limitless supply they will turn to the Tumbler and unleash online mass volume by March.

anyone know what our in store inventory status is?

Every time I visit my Lego store (twice a week) I see one one display buy I don't think that means anything.  It's displayed about eight feet from the front door so for loss prevention reasons I think they only put one out.

what do u mean by "5 EEE's"

Methinks they are going to be churning out minecraft sets for a long time.

Micro world included? I am not sure about theses because I could see LEGO keep making them because of popularity but I also could see them getting rid of at least a couple MicroWorlds with all the new sets. Maybe they will see how the new sets affect sales and adjust accordingly.

ooooh nm I got it... 5 EEE ship loads. Ha! Duh!

Saw 1 left at yorkdale lego store

My store had moved the Tumblers to where the AA used to be. Still have the AA display up though and no Tumbler display. Mixed signals lego store, mixed signals.

OOS Lego shop EU at home till 22nd December!

 

Will this be flip of the year?

Will this be flip of the year?

No, because Exosuit and RI (depending on EU or USA) already won the award. (triple MSRP)

I went to my local lego store yesterday (in the UK) and noticed there were no tumblers on the shelves for the first time in a while.  With a lego S @ **** dispatch date of 22nd December I note that the prices on ebay seem to suddenly a fair bit from around

Local Lego store has a tumbler in stock. Not sure if worth buying now for the hold. Not looking to do a quick flip. Afraid of 41999 hoarding...Assuming they will be making more in the next couple months yes?

I'll be waiting for 2xVIP at least before I start buying these. I'm sure it will still be around by then.

No need to buy now. Will be an 18 month run, probably two years.

I'm just predicting. When has there been a $200 flagship set that lasted less than 18 months? Batman no less? If this set retires in less than 18 months I will EAT an entire tumbler.

Careful about that, DNIIM already is looking forward to eating a Town Hall. I recommend adding bacon and BBQ sauce.

What's with the desire to eat LEGO ? First DNIIM, and now you too ?

I know you are predicting, that was the point of my question. New members who are asking questions can be misled by members who pass their predictions off as fact. I will continue to call out members who do this. It's not personal I'm just looking out for the greater good of the new members, and yes I understand the concept of due diligence.

No bacon, I'm a vegetarian. Maybe hot sauce & salsa.

Seriously anyone really expect this not to be around 2 years?

I take it this isn't the greatest xmas flip ever anymore? I guess I still don't regret selling mine for $300 cash a month ago.
