I'm kinda surprised this forum isn't started yet. I'm looking forward to this set, though I wanted all of the submissions from this round to be created. Just a couple pics to remind folks what the submission set looked like.

I'm sat on the fence deciding whether to clear out Tesco or not, it's not the cheapest price, but a more-or-less guaranteed £25 profit by 2020.

Now 98 left at Tesco so at least we know the actual figure. Be interesting to see how quickly it goes down.

I bet those 99 at Tesco will soon start moving if word reaches HUKD that it’s now retired.

Do we want these to clear away?

if so let's post on HDUK.

The buyers on that will take 1 each for personal build. 

That would clear them out. Happy to do the post myself unless anyone objects?

They'll quote the Lego SAH price and vote it down. Short-sighted I know! Tesco may get more back in stock as well, as may other outlets. A points promotion will help, and they come round quite frequently.

It's not cheap enough for them to go crazy but will mean some get bought up. Just not sure if that helps us or not?

I've been in a few TRU's where just about every retired set has disappeared completely. Yet they all have a stack of these subs this think will take a long time to disappear, not an ideal feature on a submarine.

None in stock with Smyth's in Ireland and my nearest tru. Give Tesco a week and they'll be gone. Dr ? Sat warming shelves for longer...

tesco basket lets you add 100+

Yes it does, but then log in and you'll see it reduces it to 89. That's 9 gone since yesterday afternoon. 

At this rate, they'll be gone in about a week, assuming no more stock arrives.

After you! 

No thanks. I am just Jean Luc-ing.

Now on HUKD, if they're not gone by 12:00 on Friday, they'll be gone by 12:01 ;-)

I can still add 99x to Tesco basket. If they're topping up stock, expect a big price drop shortly.

Log in, go to checkout. Updates to 75.

Correct, 75 on my iMac but mobile showed 99. I've maxed out on clubcard points and price too high, all yours guys! Look out for an IWOOT restock as those were dirt cheap.

I posted it on HDUK

hopefully that will clear Tesco down

loads of comments on the deal post everyone saying that it was a little cheaper elsewhere, so funny

Just 100 + ebay listings to go now.

Just had a look, a lot of the quick flip listings have started to go now.

They won't. Each £1 rise triggers loads more to be listed. Be like this for at least a year but long term will be a modest winner.

Good call @andyposterfan to put on HDUK. It has created a little more awareness and hype. 

Please do the same with Angry Birds. They need all the help they can get.

Tabby couldn't resist cooling the HDUK post! Made me chuckle

Also I think these will shift at £60 (+ postage on top) by around March when sets in the wild dry up.

on a £1 eBay FVF if be happy enough with the £20 QFLL profit

The Business Account FVF is 10.8% unless VAT regstration drops it to 9% as there's never an FVF promotion. Those that paid RRP for this are into losing territory unless they can get £68 (+P&P) to pay for box and packing materials. Just hang on 18 months and all will be good.
