I would totally get one, if I didn't already have 4 and I snagged a UCS X-Wing with this deal earlier in the week.

Today has been B-wing week for me. I found two on Ebay for $120 that were just damaged box. Plus this deal. I have 9 now I think?

 

I got them for 99, 99, 105, 120, 135, 130, 120, 120, 150 -ywing. Hopefully building up a nice return. Running out of space for the huge biox though

Me and my boy Jaisonline are gonna be walkin around with some serious "I told you so's" in a couple of years for all these non-Bwing people. lol

 

Seriously, the set is already gaining fast. Since Amazon was out, its up $35 in a few months. Im thinking about grabbing more from Walmart at $157 or whatever it is.

 

I'm sticking by my position on the other side.  Possibly the ugliest classic Star Wars ship and has stability issues.  But we've had this debate a million times.

Its already rising though - look at the Ebay sales. So you just think its going to plateau out somewhere?

I agree with the b wing guys. Just because it was on sale at some point doesn't mean it has no value. Look at the black pearl. Weren't those clearance last black Friday? Now they're at $200 misb.

Yeah, donotinsert, and there was a reason they sold them for 99.  I expect it to rise above 200 after retirement, but I'd be surprised if it doubled quickly or ever.  The Imperial Shuttle hasn't even doubled yet and it's way cooler.

I can see that. This one was on the market for half the amount of time though, or even less than that.

The market is beginning to forget that the B-Wing was ever discounted 50%, even if members here, who are much more informed about LEGO sales, haven't. I think even if you can't get the B-Wing for $99, anything below $165 is a pretty good deal at this point, as I think after retirement, its value will go through the roof. I think too many people are stocking up on HH's to make them worth as much as the B-Wing percentage wise, but this is just personal opinion. 

 

 

ha ha. between this, orc forge, and the zombies (plus other MF sets), i pretty much threw everything into them except the wife, kids, and house.  i honestly have no more storage space in my house.  the wife is going nuts.

 

to me, stocking up on 10227s is a no-brainer (like the Shuttle last yr) if the retail life is 12-14 months or less.  people need to stop talking about the original retail price, $99 sale, etc...

 

in summary, all we need to know is...

- the retail price was set too high (we know the reasons why) so people avoided it.

- there hasn't been a UCS Star Wars ever produced with a short life-span. note: lego's new norm seems to be 2+ year lifespans.

- once built, the ship is huge and highly detailed.  so it displays nice.

- it is still flying under the radar at $150ish while supply is drying up.

- it is Star Wars and we have a new movie coming in 2015

 

Now the Haunted House is a GREAT set.  I own 5 or so.  However, there is nothing hinting to anyone that it will be discontinued this yr (e.g. lego.com being out of stock for weeks).  Hence I suggest waiting for the next sale to buy more if needed.

ugh. i missed out.  out of stock online. sweet deal.

Yep I missed it too...but at least they ran out of stock...

Exactly. Should see some panic set in at some point that these are about gone. Target and Walmart prices starting to not look so bad at $158

$149 was a solid deal.  Assuming one still qualified for the 10% off, plus the Y-Wing, puts it about on par w/ the May 4th price at $99, Free Han, and VIP points.  Maybe not quite as good, but pretty darn close.

Not quite as good but close. You can get 35-40 out of the Y-wing, so its around the $110 range after all is said and done.

I used my $10 e-gift card from the pick up in store promo last week. I did in store pick up for the y wing and they gave me week 3 bricktober figures too. Score!

Just picked up a HH tonight and the employee at LEGO said they the HH is done and they wouldn't be receiving anymore. Guess we'll see.

It seems like most of the MF line is retired or will be retiring in the next few months.  Will the HH hang around as the sole set in this line?  And if so, for how long?  I hear people saying end of 2014 and others possibly january 2014. 

It could be nearly done, LEGO Shop at Home order limit in UK is now 5 not 99.  I have enough anyway.

Finally finished building mine. This thing is awesome. Wish I had more zombies.

Saw the Retiring Soon sign at the Lego Store for the Haunted House.  I take it with a grain of salt from what Lego employee said it's going along with the whole Monster FIghters line.  Did anyone else see that at your other locations?

Not sure. Rumours have suggested that it will be around until end of 2014. Others suggested retirement this year, so who knows. Was it specifically placed by the HH, or just in the vicinity of the MF line, and the HH happened to be on the shelf near it?

Didn't see that when I went to the Lego store last time. I will be going later this week and check it out.

The sign is on the same shelf as the Haunted House.  The employee told me it's for the Haunted House as well as the rest of the line.

Oh ok. Interesting then, it would certainly be a shorter life span for the set rather then 2 years. We`ll see what happens. 

Maybe it will become another TRU exclusive?
