just like the ship itself, this set is going to be hard to move.

 

although price has gone up, i don't see it moving much @ amazon.

 

Its an $800 Lego set and its ranked below 40,000 in the toy sales. I'd say that's pretty decent, particularly in slow october

The set is a bust. Time to move onto some exciting and original Series 12 minifigures.

I can't find any that sold recently for anywhere near that cheap except for one BIN at $500 for a used one (which was just a guy pricing it too low).

All of these are BIN and are under $500. Some of them even have or best offer, so you may be able to get them a little cheaper.

 

I just realized, that you were looking for Super Star Destroyers. I thought I was following someone was talking about Death Star. Those are all death stars above.

Oh, I thought we were talking SSD.

 

Heh, OK thought I was losing my mind for a second or I missed some conversation.  I was about to start buying a bunch of SSDs for $500 off ebay!

When I see Death Stars already sold for 495, even a 595 I wonder why people are bagging on this set as an investment. Two recently sold for $500 plus shipping, is this happening and who are these lucky Sellers. 

It good freefall like 41999 did after the initial frenzy. The peak could be now for all we.know. I've just sold one for

LEGO Shop at Home says my one and only 10221 order has just shipped, when the previous shipping date before it sold out says Oct 22nd. Here's praying they're not sending me another 10188 like during the May the 4th sale

I'm so very eager to build this for display before its too late!

 

If anyone else who ordered can post here so we can know that our 10221 orders are being sent out from today, that would be reassuring for me, thanks.

If I was sent a 10188, I'd send it straight back, partial refund or not. I just can't stand the thing. Good luck anyway with the 10221.

Did people think the price would go through the roof soon as it retired? On EU ebay it's going for

Just read through this thread, and for anyone that missed it- someone with the name "Bricksexpert" chimed in last year. The nice thing with that Handle is you don't have to change it a bit if joining Ashley Madison.com, etc.

On topic: completely, completely unfair this set became inaccessible in the U.S. So long before it has in Europe.

Please take back The Beckham's. Give us the SSD instead.

Being a late, in the game UCS collector. This was first my first UCS set I purchased this year, which then paved way for eight others.

The EOL of the SSD has been for at least a year now in NZ.

You can pick up second hand sets on www. trademe.co.nz for bout $700 NZD

I secured mine online via fishpond.co.nz brand new sealed set for $1300 NZD including shipping

Think the hunt was better than the chase is I still haven't built it yet, need to up put some display shelves first.

How do you guys display your UCS sets ?

Display all your collection or just some ?
