I'm sorry. Merlin?

Its some store in Georgia or someplace down south that supposedly doesn't get "Limited Edition" sets but I am not sure never been there.

Merlin runs the LEGO parks and Discovery Centers...

I’ve been reading the first couple pages of this thread and wonder if anyone’s views have changed about the investment potential of these since the first wave will retire soon. Plus they are discounted on retail sites.

I think its realistic for the prices to double in value compared to rrp 12 months from now for select figures.  25% Discount= maybe.  Its on a see-saw right now.  Can go either way......

These are either going to skyrocket or bomb. I've got one full set of the first wave, and I'll not buy anymore until signs look encouraging. Personally, I think they're hideous.... then again, so was the Delorean!

I think it depends on the charcater as to what happens with it I strongly doubt that POTC will do well however I am quite intrested in some of the super heros but am unsure about remakes. Personally I see this wave as a miss except for a small few but will be intrested in Han and Chewie but new trilogy looks a bust.

I think Lego's plan was to retire these earlier but reasonable sales has kept them going as stocking fillers. Some have been tagged as retiring since mid-summer. 

The cheapest I've ever seen these is 3 for 2 at RRP.  Some models (e.g. Sparrow) have not been as widely available. Also they have thinned out in supermarkets near me, which is promising. Ebay sold prices are around RRP but Hulk, Robin, Joker and Sparrow are above RRP.  

We don't know how much stock Lego has and whether they will flush it away to one of the big retailers in January. If we avoid £5 clearance sales, they will do very well.

Anyone have a DPCI for the Kylo/Rey Brickheadz? Or a way of finding these in-store?

Ugh, all sold out around me. They were in-stock a week ago and I never once saw them on shelves and couldnt order online (no Red card). I am about to abandon all hope for this line, just not worth it.

Went to a store day they went on sale and I only found 3 hiding on a short shelf very inconspicuously next to non-Lego Star Wars toys. One was damaged so I only got two and didn't check if anymore were available. Never really saw them again but I have to think there may be a couple lurking around in a corner somewhere.

I was at the Lego store two days ago and they had a shelf full of these damn things! So much for exclusivity!

I would not worry about them being short...

Since when have Phasma and FInn been marked down at US SAH?

At least a week.

Amazon have 6 out of the 12 originals still in stock. Supermarkets seems to be drying up. 

I wonder how many SAH hold in stock. I'm hoping for a quick 30% sale, and then they'll be gone.  

Amazon France is clearing them out right now at almost half price. Turds best avoided.

Lego are stuck with these for mis-selling as exclusives and retiring soon since the summer. Buyers are not forgiving.

1) they are turds that no one wants.

2) Shipping kills the deal.

Target has most on clearance for $5-6. I saw a guy loading up a shopping cart full of these. Is it worth my time and money to grab these at that clearance price?

That guy will be posting in the regrets of 2018 thread come 12 months.

I personally think it depends on which sets are being picked up. I mean, if these are cleared out soon, then they will have only been out for a year, and new LEGO fans are created every year who missed out on previous items. Is it really that far-fetched that a combo of, say, Belle and Beast for $30+ isn't doable in the near future?

I think if they had drip fed them like Microfighters (4/6 per year) or had shorter lives (mixels) then that could have been the case.

It just seems they are making too many too quickly and only the really limited edition ones will do well.
