First look at Dr Strange set. Digging the Dr Strange mini figure.

Hmmm, according to BP data contrasted with current Bricklink sales, Hulk Buster is trading at around RRP, 7 months post retirement. That makes it a success if it was bought at half price. Not bad compared with many 2016 retirements, but Mystery Machine or Starlight Taverb would have been  much better buys for the same money.

Do you know of any other recent SH sets (with less than 4 thread pages before retirement) are doing well? My gripe about DSSS is that every man and their dog bought into it, whereas a few less well know sets may have gone under the radar a little and are now doing better.

 

Never understood the superhero hatred on here. They do great for me. I already sold my Dr Strange sets for twice retail on Amazon Canada. If people dont want theirs PM me. They're gold Jerry gold!

SH is one of the themes that gives varied results depending on the market. In Europe there are better themes to purchase but a few sets can do well.

Malibu Mansion, Doc Ock Truck, Captain America vs Hydra, Gorilla Grodd, XMen vs Sentinel and Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 1 in particular (especially since Vol 2 movie came out).  If bought even at a reasonable discount, would be giving a decent return. 

SH buyers are mainly parents of under 8s. When some of these kids grow up and have dispensable income, will they desire these sets more as nostalgia trophies? Quite possibly yes. Anyone got a Delorean?

Agree, done well on Marvel/DC, despite all the doom. The winners are easy to pick, easy to find at discount in volume and move in volume.  But if it keeps people away from the sure fire winners.  So be it.   
 

How are these back in stock at Target when all of you were buying by the hundreds when they went 50% off?

I’m just glad I didn’t go to crazy on these.

Just look on eBay, this set is tanking big time. I only paid £14 each for mine and struggled to get £10 for them locally!

Hey would you look at that? My credit card jumped out of my wallet and flipped me the middle finger.

Whelp...I guess that means I'm calling it quits for the season. See you all for the after Christmas sales lol!

if Lego were smart, they'd make the new one connect to this!!!

I managed to flip mine on fleabay for £25 each as soon as i saw new set announced. Tiny profit but still got out ahead.

I thought there was a chance of them being next Ant Man set but they took longer than Felipe Massa to retire.

Which one? Not going to make one or not smart? 

For $20, buy it or leave it?

Many bought at $15 over the past few weeks, and every Target seemed to have a pile of them. At $20 I'd leave it, unless it's for a long hold or personal use. 

Thanks terrymc4677
