WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON? NONE OF THIS CRAP HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE BEATLES OR A YELLOW SUBMARINE!

Sorry, it had more to do with the thickness of chocolate on a Snickers bar.

Do any of the mods know approx. how many of these we have in all brickfolios compared to WALL•E?

I'm hoping this clears £75 after fees by Xmas.

Well the first offer of the year is a maximum of £3 selling fees. Perhaps the days of £1 fees are over.

This feels like a winner long term as it's got Christmas present for Lego and non-Lego fan all over it. Hope so.

One just popped up on Amazon UK for £43.99, it ain't there now ;-)

Hasn't exactly flown out of the blocks in retirement, this one, but regularly selling around and upwards of £60 now.

Strange that so many are still being listed at under £50 with that in mind.

Still predicting good things from it, but may take a while.

150+ sellers across ebay and Amazon. Too much supply and not enough demand in the current market.

11,000 or so rank for a “new” price of $90 on Amazon means a healthy demand to me. With a realistic buy in at $50 I think this set looks good. How many more are going to come out at Christmas time is the key unknown but long term this is going to be a $ maker.

Yes there'll always be some demand, but the price has been relatively stagnant since Easter. Any rise in selling price brings new sellers to market. Don't most of us have 2 or 3 of these (or more) to offload? 

It might make £100 one day, but not anytime soon. 

Y'all are comparing apples to cranberry sauce here, UK market and US market are totally different.

Bingo! This set is already a winner in the US. Glad our friends at Wally closed these out a few months ago for $48. A 6 month double is pretty darn good in this biz. I'm betting a much bigger return in 18 months.

I had two, sold both this week for £60 each, with a buy in of £33 each. I'm happy enough with that.

I've not sold any yet as way too busy, but I believe that this will be a £100+ set in a few years. I've still got the job lot from IWOOT when they cleared them out at -50%. At least these aren't taking up space that I need to pay for ? I may even offload them all at RRP one day if the need arises.

That set will easily hit 150 Euros next Xmas. This Xmas I predict 119-130 during Xmas shopping.

There´s more chance of the Beatles reforming.

Just curious, why do you predict that it’ll only increase in value 20 euros next Christmas? What’s the logic in that calculation?

I assume a Rolling Stone set already reached 2xRRP in the same time!

Cheap sets get a quicker RRP return indeed

Over 100 Euros buyers get more hesitant to buy and I factor in that YS was widely available and my experience in surveilling in amazon prices. Of course it is only a guess and i said it will easily hit 150 Euros, I think price will be 165-190

There's a lot more Beatles fans than LEGO fans so this set could surpass the % increase of all other IDEAS sets to date. This is one set that I do NOT regret buying in vast quantities. If the Mars Rover can 6x within a few years, so can this.

I consider Doctor Who and the Beatles to be golden - but when Tabby agrees with my thoughts, then all things are in doubt.

This set is doing ok, nothing more nothing less. The auction sold prices are still marginally below RRP. 

When I'm 64 - it might then get to 2 X RRP.

It’s still for sale in some areas. Within the last month I’ve seen it at John Lewis Newbury, Norwich. Also in Hamleys duty free at LHR T5 for  £70!

I can still offload mine now for an easy £20 profit, but I can wait for £100 profit in 5 years time, no rush.
