31008 - Thunder Wings

What do you guys think about this set?

It's only 1 of 2 sets I can find that are going much cheaper via retailers right now that *could* be easily flipped. It's $20 CAD ($16 USD) on sale ATM, and on Amazon.com it's $32+ USD, same on eBay.

The other is 31013 - Red Thunder. 31013 is $6 though, so that one does seem like a decent long-term opportunity. Whereas 31008 is $25, and I'm not sure how that plays out historically. It's just a generic jet. Even though it's a great seller now, I can't imagine it selling for more than $50 in a few years especially because nobody would know about it. If they have another in a year or two it'll probably be just as good, but maybe that's not the way LEGO operates when it comes to the Creator line? Isn't this just going to end up being remade, so the only opportunity for this particular set is a QFLL immediately, or at Christmas?
