I haven't seen much discussion of the new IDEAS Birds set (Jan, '15) yet...obvioulsy we don't have "hands-on" time, but I'd like to know what people think. I mean, it's smart of LEGO to try to corner the ornithologist/AFOL demographic (who wouldn't?!?), but curious to hear the community's thoughts for short and long term investment.

 

Personally, I'll buy it because it's IDEAS and I enjoy that line...I'm less certain of hoarding it for investment though.

I have 60 birds (20 sets) in my (cage)storage locker. To be quite honest at this point,:slow:they are an uninvited guest !  But I have NO doubt, when they FINALLY do sell out, they will be easy money. 

Patience is key. Who do you think are the ones buying these sets at the moment? Resellers. That's not a bad thing as it leaves out the general public which we hope will crave this set once it disappears.

Until LEGO re-releases Birds 2.0 with updated beaks and cheese slopes.

That will be a plus for birds1 cause Lego won't remake this set. There will be a new series of birds. Bring it on.

If they can find Phantoms 9 months later, Birds can certainly show up anytime.

Sorry, we're late.

I'm unfortunately going to be building a flock of birds fighting with a bunch of dinosaurs the way things are heading.
