So what does everyone think of this item.  Will it be a big item to stock up for Christmas given it's popularity or does everyone think it's going to flop and have too much supply by that time?

I feel like I'm in a hot tub with a bunch of dudes.  Time for me to get out.

​Ha!  I'm going to have to remember that one 

So, I had a raincheck from Target for these & asked if I could get it extended since they didn't have it in stock several times I went back for it. The manager said "sure no problem."   But when he went to reissue the raincheck he said he couldn't because it's not orderable any longer...Strange.

Any new thoughts on this set?  What do you guys think of these long term? Its really the only set from the avengers ultron line that I like.  I guess with the new movie and line coming out these will start drying up in the next several months!

I'm sitting on 3 NIB. I'm in for the long term, heh.

I like this set for many different reasons, but I would imagine most others will as well. Would not be surprised if this is one of the most hoarded sets when all is said and done. The bigger question is the length of production - an extra year like the Superman Power Lex will really hold this thing back.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but these is the only non sold out set with the Hulk Maxi at the moment, right? It was a brisk seller at MSRP in my parts around Xmas and not much stock around. I expect it to get a full restock soon, as only Hydra Fortress Smash seems like it is gone from that wave. Definitely one I'll be eyeing all spring/summer/fall. Cooler than Superman/Power Lex (imho) so hopefully retires with all that Avengers wave. It would be awful if this is still around for Infinity War(s) at retail.

That is true on the Hulk for now at least. Although Lab Smash has not dried up yet in my area, which is saying something. Your last sentence is the real question IMO. Just how long are they going to make this thing. For the price I think it's by far the best "deal" from the Super Heroes wave at the moment. 4 figs, and the Hulkbuster is like a 5th maxi fig on its own.

With the new wave of CA3 Civil War sets this Spring which feature quite a few re-released minifigures and another Quinjet, I don't expect the Avengers AOU sets to last much longer.  Hulk is absent from the Civil War sets so far which could lead to a longer shelf life for the Hulkbuster or make it more valuable if it goes out of production soon.  Definitely something to keep an eye on.

Just opened one of these and it came with an extra sealed Hulk figure. Do all of them come like this?

Well, this set (along with other AoU sets) was discounted at Walmarts in their recent sale.. however it is still available at LEGO LEGO Shop at Home, etc, for retail price.. when do you guys think it will retire? 

I'm only sitting on one, and I'm in it for the long run. I bought it for $15, so there is little chance of me losing money.. hoping it hits $40-45 quickly after retirement and slowly climbs.. but since its been available for a while, do you think it will appreciate much in value?

IMHO, it will be gone by the end of the year.

Tempted by the Smyths offer atm (thanks @Fenix_2k1).  Circa 45% off and even if this is one of the most hoarded sets and SH is a "stay away from" the MEC in this just makes me think it will do well enough in the long term (assuming there's no remake).

Still this is one of the few SH sets I'd buy for the build alone.

Only hulk big fig available on the market and with no Hulk in marvel movies next year could be 2018 before we see another one.    Agree this is well stocked but it’ll be in demand more than most recent SH sets and had a good initial price point.   40%+ discount on this is a winner.

Good point, but he may look like this, so it may be a while before we get a plain Hulk.

Is he? Missed that.

Not to mention this set coming next year:

The price and set is horrible... As usually people will just want the mini figs

I would agree with that.  The fall 2016 wave of Super Heroes is so much better than this one.

It's called a trend. [emoji23]

I saw 6 hulk buster smash 76031 for 34.99. I only bought one for  my son when it come out on the market at rrp and since is retired. I'm thinking of going tomorrow and get a couple of them. Just 5 bucks over retail is not bad at all. What's your thoughts people. The 76031 you cant get it nowhere except amazon or eBay. It should sell 2x by this Christmas maybe or close to
