Posted this video on another thread but I felt it needed its own thread. At 2:26, he mentions a UCS tumbler coming soon!!! 

No idea where thebrickshow got that info from but I'd love to see pictures of it soon! 

 

 

I can get a 3rd today for 215 delivered with no spaceman promo they are out where I can get.

With ebay running at $300 I am not sure it is worth it for flipping purposes.

Anyone?

Depends what amazon means by whatever scheme they are running with tumbler. If there is really no wdespread availability until january, then it is going to be hot over Christmas, I would think... amazon is "still looking" inro the issue with no listings for non-fba, and all fba forced into preorder

I would, basically getting at retail without a bonus and can flip for $300.  

I'm flipping one on ebay but I did it for the spaceman. With fees and shipping not much left, maybe $25 or so. $10 in lego points so probably still worth the trouble.

The promo made it worthwhile, now just waiting until next month's promo. Stockpiling for Christmas sale.

Cleaned out my local supply depot, i did leave them a couple sets for the general public. ...lol.

We'll by the time I called back to order they were gone at the one store.

Called tons of US stores, answers were either some expected Tuesday and they will be gone quick or expected more in October.

I'm fine with my 2 for now...

Wow, just read that myself. That is INSANE! How is that possible? I would imagine this would have sold like crazy this holiday - how could Lego have not seen that?

oh, wow...  would have been a jackpot if I didn't have only one...

 

so, Amazon knew something when they did that weird "pre-order" trick....

Sounds like AS situation, part deux

ETA: I do not have any. I am kicking myself for sticking to my so called LEGO buying "plan" :(

It does sound good unless they are available at LEGO Shop at Home right around the beginning of January with those long return periods in place.

4 Benjamins is realistic now

I'm kicking myself for not buying at least one. I decided on HH instead, so I didn't do that bad.

I was told small batches each week for 8 weeks basically leading up to Black Friday, then none in December and full release in January.  So far thats been the case, B&M get 4-8 per week and sell out right away.  So yeah could easily be 4 bills during holidays.  Then be available in January.

I might consider applying my own tamper-proof seals just for that particular case... with clear declaration and photo...  

though, of course, futility of reasoning with ebay and/or paypal is obvious. Maybe craigslist...

It's amazing that LEGO underestimated the popularity(and production) of this set.  This seriously could be the best "flipper" set ever.  Four Benjamins?  How about five a week before XMAS?  LOL

Missed out on this one.

i don't think they underestimated. its the game they have to play with so much resellers trying to pick up the set.

 

as with any set they release its the initial lot that's getting hoarded by resellers. there is a threshold of what reseller can/will hoard. its not $10-$50 set which probably has higher number of hoarders vs. $199+ sets whose demand will be slightly less. i don't think smaller fishes are going to go nuts on this set. but i am pretty sure big sharks are piling up in the range of 50+. once they reach a certain number resellers will be out of the accumulation and then its going to flow to regular joe/jane who is buying to actually build one.

 

LEGO just don't want to be left with sets in their warehouses. so they are releasing enough to maximize on profit as well. my sense is they make more profit if they can sell via their B&M vs online vs "other big box retailers".

 

i still think they have done a good job of providing this set via multiple avenues

a. wb stores

b. toys r us

c. lego B&M

d. dc entertainment

 

they are doing their best to channel it to the regular joe/jane.

And thank you LEGO Shop at Home for spelling it out loud an clear! I don't think prices would go that far if they just kept nonchalant TOOS without any extra text.

Itll be back eventually.

of course, January 1st.

the dude with 17 FBA units just did ;)

I'd say not producing the Frozen set in time for holiday shopping 2014 was the bigger SNAFU. I think they need an american at the helm to realize their full potential. Disney should just buy them already.
