This is more true than people realize.  I have had similar conversations with customers who stated the sets were gifts for their kids.  If AT-ACT comes out next year and is $120 - $150 for more pieces and minifigs, I can't see AT-AT holding its current $250 eBay value.

you guys are clueless about star wars fandom if you think that a (hypothesized) AT-ACT is going to make a dent in the price of an out of production retired OT Hoth AT-AT.  you're talking apples and oranges.  almost like saying Poe's X-wing should have dented 9493's price.  

the ship has sailed for non-1%er Timmy to get his AT-AT until 2018ish when it is inevitably re-released.  between now and then, the intestinal fortitude of the reseller will determine the price on this set.

it was a year ago today that i bought my last 75054's from amazon.  sniff ... sniff.  they grow up so fast...

The difference is that Poe's X-Wing looks radically different from Luke's.  Different paint job all over, different engines, general ugliness of the former...  Whereas the AT-ACT differs only in the blaster cannon configuration and the yellowness of the sides.  We're not talking, say, AT-AT versus AT-ST.

I bought 26 AT-AT's last year.  I expected about $200 by now, so this is a nice break from the general crushing of my expectations this year in lego reselling has been.  I think the last $50 of the AT-AT's current price of $250 owes a lot to the AT-ACT's presence in all the Rogue One publicity online.  Or maybe it's the lack of Snowspeeders available at retail that makes the AT-AT feel like a safer purchase.

It's no doubt that it's a nice timing to harvest in current range.

Riiiiiggggghhhhhhtttttttt!

 

This is the most disturbing thing I have seen today and I watched 3 episodes of Ash Vs. Evil Dead.

39 offers in Amazon. Maybe there are just too many AT-ACT in Rogue One.

excellent . weed out the under cutters

I broke through the $300 FBM barrier with a sale yesterday so it's getting interesting.

Seems Rogue One is a nice one.

Prime almost at $350

There are a couple Russians on BrickLink selling these for ~$150.  Almost seems worth the risk.  Shipping to Russia is nearly impossible (delivery essentially never happens) so I blocked the country long ago from a selling perspective.  As a buyer, though, I wonder...  Lots of lego sets seem to be getting "stuck" in Russia these days and dramatically lagging their Western European and North American counterparts in price.

hold or sell boys, hold or sell. FACK

At 300-350 ide sell. No telling what the 2017 version will do to it. I've only got one open box so it's going up for sale soon.

With absence of major crafts like MF in Rogue One, AT-ACT is so impressive.

A bit off topic,

7965 did respond recently.

Tire-striker is not bad.

cheapest FBM in a nondamaged box is $330.  price is rising  $30 in a week.  even  ISD is showing some life.  

All in - kept them for Xmas 2017. Gambling, but I assume there will be nothing comparable in 2017. Prices in Europe still low compared to USA.

It is a gamble.  I sold off the last of mine this week.  3 x MSRP doesn't happen often these days, and I'm betting on the near certainty of AT-ACT next year.  Even without competition, sets do plateau.  Honestly, it's a risk either way (hold or sell).  One wild card with these though...  Russians are dumping them on eBay and BrickLink.  It's weird.  I don't think they're counterfeits or anything like that.  But there's even a recent sale from Kazakhstan in the eBay sold listings.

lots of scammers looking to get rich off stupid ahmerriikanz. i got yer at-at right here. 

there are 32 sellers left on amazon and a third of those have got it in there head that at-at's should go for over $400.  i like that way of thinking.

In Europe, it´s still the ISD that is performing better and is rarer. I people didn´t predict which would be more prominent in R1.

If I would sell in overseas, I would have done the same. But I do not want to sell for 180 Euro, if the price at LEGO Shop at Home was 120 Euro... That's not even 50% margin, if you consider those prices. I stepped in at 70 Euro nevertheless, but why should I throw my money down the drain?

Yesterday I saw this set show up in my "Search Results from Amazon" promotional banner under this page for $103.45. When I went to Amazon.com, it showed $319.99 as the lowest. Did it indeed surface briefly for close to RRP and did one of you score one? CCC didn't catch it, I checked there ....

Xmas and Rogue One surely had its effect on supply. The price only grew a little bit. But I have good hopes for January. As most people will have viewed the new movie and Xmas envelopes are opened. 

My goal for 75054 AT-AT and 75055 ISD is to net 200 Euro each after fees. Almost there.

AT-AT supply is less than supply for ISD here on ebay Germany. And AT-AT is still slightly cheaper than ISD. But the difference is getting smaller each day passes.
