I have one of each, got them deep discounted a while ago but with all these sets retiring at the same time, not sure which is best to pull the trigger... maybe DR Who or Ecto-1 but with the current state of the market hard to say.
October 31, 20169 yr yes the amount of discounted sets these days is a bit worrisome.Just for people that picked these up at retail. Some of us remember the days of exclusives being on discount.I fondly recall $119 FBs.

October 31, 20169 yr patiently waiting for 10247 Ferris Wheel to drop in price as well. these price drops are really making DVIP and promos look like....well......child's play.

One thing to keep in mind about all of these discounts on exclusives is that we are now in an environment where there are a lot more people tuned in to the potential of these types of sets and they are likely to be hoarded to a much greater degree than any in the past. Add in discounting on them and that is likely to accelerate. Personally, I'm done with the large exclusives after watching the prices of many of my recent purchases languish below 2x RRP after EOL.

With this trend, is there more money to be made in the cheaper Ideas sets retiring vs these UCS? ie... 4x DrWho/Ecto1 vs a SC right now for a 3 year hold lets say? This is getting frustrating I can't even have faith in a discounted "exclusive" UCS to perform well...
