I only have 8 left. Finding it hard to let go of these

Don't get too attached, just get rid if the price is right ;-) If it's a set you like, always keep one for yourself. I now wish I'd bought another 100 of these but, I can't grumble. I only sold for 3x (£20 buy-in) but, shifted the lot in one hit without any packing or fees.

Hmmm... The Pteranodon is still in stock at some retailers (eg. John Lewis) but, I've stopped buying to invest now.

Now selling for 170 euros in Europe on Ebay and we have hit the magic less than 10 sellers number both on Ebay AND bricklink. I don´t believe it will get to 200, that would be 4xRRP insanity.

Some people are waiting for the new movie to start listing this set. The real number of eBay/BL sellers is much higher.

Loads of the Pterabdon sets at my local TRU. Infact they still have DA and TRT. I'm not buying these at rrp though, as I've hit my target at a good discount.

What I have been doing is selling TRT for £60ea cash then poping down to TRU and replacing them to get the £20 voucher. Little effort as its literally a 5 min walk.

What can I say, I love free lego.

Good for you, it's a shame that I no longer deal with TRU due to a recent court case.

again, i have said this so many times. i will stand by my US $ 150 as a ceiling for this set. [ at least in US ]

you can still buy all those listings below or around $140 at amazon US and make boat-load of change. go ahead and do that. may be that would at least prove that i am wrong

remember, my pictures avalanche of those haven't been released yet

Looks like I was wrong - again. It´s cracked 170 GBP on ebay sold = 200 euros. Bloody brilliant. Does that make IR a 500 euro set?

Yes please.

What is the reason? Early retirement. 

Lego is playing this brilliantly. Sacrifice one set with raptors by retiring it early. The rest of the theme will get a boost like never to be seen again.

It´s a bit fishy that Amazon prices are lower than Ebay and that it can still be had for less than 120 on bricklink. Still, I´d sell for 200 in a heartbeat.

I'm sitting on six or seven of these. Sell now or hold? I've been out of the loop in terms of following the market.

Set a price you are comfortable with, list and see if you get any bites. Xmas time should be peak demand and next year there will be another movie, which means more new sets at lower prices.

I'm in the "the higher it goes the more likely someone to scam on it" camp.

I sold at $80, $90, $95, $100, $105, $110, $115, $120, $125, $135, $155, not necessarily in that order.

Still have 24 or so and figured this Christmas will be a good time to reap the rewards............... Did sell a few at 124.95 - 129.95

i sold mine from $109->$149 total of 84 units. 

Just looking for opinions on this one, I have a used set to sell, but for whatever reason the Raptors won't stand up freely, the parts look fine, but they flop when you put them together. How would you sell this, Haven't sold used sets before and would worry about come back, just selling it as is?

List them as flexible or give them viagra. Could you post a pic or vid to indicate what is happening?
