76023 is a great set to build and display. Just fragile as all heck. The minifigs and stand are icing on the cake.

Agree. Fragile is no problem for display sets tho. Have you tried to straighten the 'flags' in the Architecture UN building? A nightmare. Still, just don't touch it after you are done. Who wants to play with that anyway lol.

Still plenty left in Smyths at that discount. Ireland has a smaller market and less resellers clearing shelves than Britain.

And there was I thinking I was lucky :-) I've never sold internationally on ebay before. Time to start if I'm to offload my collection.

We have to factor in higher postage costs to sell to British or continental buyers. I see sets sitting on our local websites (like craigslist/gumtree) for ages. Compared to prices quoted here for current market price of ebay/amazon, they are cheaper, yet languish. It's difficult to move anything locally. Ebay seems to be the most viable vehicle, but you've got to factor in the higher fees and buyers looking for discounts/refunds for any spurious reason.

From reading about price trends on this site for the last couple of months it seems this immediate healthy increase in Tumbler ebay prices could be mainly atributed to resellers giddy with impulse buying EOL fever. This initial short term demand and price upsurge in turn perpetuates a short term avalanche until the buy-in seems too steep for the long-term profit-to-hold ratio.

Auction on eBay just concluded this afternoon at £280. So almost doubled. Can only assume that this is people who feel they've missed the boat and thus desperate to get onboard. I would expect this to come down and settle in the low 200's and then slowly appreciate, since if you look hard enough you can still pick these up on the shelves. As to where it settles who knows? Depends on how good the new film is and future films including a potential justice league film. What's not indisputable is that it's cool and iconic and in a few years this should be a good investment. I'm happy with the five that I have and will probably not be able to resist the urge to build one of them in the near future.

I got a set from Target with the box in unacceptable (for reselling at least) condition.

I went to return it in the store, and the clerk was ordered by her boss to cut the factory seal to "check it's contents" to make sure everything was there.

I cringed a bit and told her she shouldn't cut the FACTORY seal. Her boss insisted she do it anyway. She just quickly glanced at the sealed bags inside and said all is good. SMH. Anyhow, I got my refund and went on my merry way...

 

 

 

Target has shipped me several in beyond unacceptable condition. I've had much better luck with Walmart and Amazon, at least for the Tumbler.

These are still for sale at my local Lego store. Not sure if I want to pick up more... or the Red Fives.....hmmmm.....

Where's your store?

I'm done with the tumbler have my share and then some.  I gotta return 1 to target that was beyond crushed.

Over 100 tumblers have been sold on ebay within less than two weeks at retail.  I can only assume this set will sell well once sold out.

I gotta believe a lot of those went to investors' storage room.  

Flippers just got their eBay GCs from holiday listings. I should have one coming for close to $200, reread the fine print, have 2 weeks still for them to process

GCs and eBay Bucks to bad Niko pulled his listing for $195.

not done just yet in the uk. 

Just pulled the trigger on one for close-to RPP (c.a. EU 189). In Poland even the retailers (TRU, other big chains, online sellers) are already putting 250-350 EU tag on it, almost impossible to get it for RPP.

I bought one this morning from Smyths in Newry. The guys were very helpful and said they were getting no more in...when they're gone they're gone.

Smyths did this also with SSD, AA and also DS this year, but they never got any more in. Hopefully they get some more, but dont hold your breath. 

Gonna take a spin and see what i can find tomorrow. 

My 2 options are Tumbler for £129 or PS at £96.

Might push the budget to 2 each
