Yup, it´s Yellow Submarine all over again. I see many shops already stocking it so game over for any quick flip potential.

Yes, moreover I was indeed referring to long-term potential, too.

In the UK this is available to order on the John Lewis website. Not sure if it's actually in stock for delivery as I didn't go as far as ordering one (have SAH VIP points I want to use). Strange that it's seemingly available though, when it's not released on SAH until 1st June.

Another thing: why no early VIP access on this set? Especially when it has already been released in other parts of the world.

 

Definitely instock, ordered mine Thursday evening and it was delivered yesterday, crazy how they are able to sell it a week before Lego Shop.

Already on the Bay for $169, how are they even making money.  Doesn't bode well for quick flippers.  I keep hitting up ToysRus, Lol, had one store that supposedly had two but they couldn't find them.  Said, they were fairly worried considering the value of the items.  I figured it was just too early.  Every store that has had stock reported 2 available.

Just made my f'en day.  Checked Barnes before a Toys R us run and asked them to scan the UPC.  One in stock, 10% off to boot.  Got the Racer for $2 as well.  :-D.  Ok I'm giddy.

FYI, I checked 4 Barnes and Nobles, 3 had 1, and another had 2 (since Friday) all on hand.  Toys R us is carrying 2 each incoming. Target will carry it, found their DPCI by scanning the UPC and no one had any.  Barnes and Noble in store can order it from their internal book master website also, just call a store.

 

Ok I'm done for the evening.  LOL

Good work! TRU only had 56 in the DC on Thursday with limited stores being eligible to get it in. Probably the ones that carry Slave 1 and TB. 

Do you have the DPCI?

7 days? It's not even June 1st yet and...

BN is out of stock at the DC, they only had 650 to start with, which is less than 2 per store.  I realize a lot of people are concerned about hype, but to me its one of the coolest sets I have seen in a really long time.

Call it a UCS NASA Rocket.  Once this is gone, it'll be as sought after as the shuttle IMHO.  I'm betting they under estimated its popularity.

Totally agree.  This is my fav space one yet.

The shuttle expedition has performed poorly since EOL. Many thought this would literally skyrocket in value but it hasn't. Still very affordable.

I don't know about you but I don't consider $300+ affordable on a $99 set.  Lol

Don't know where u lookin but it can be had for anywhere in the $100-$300 range on the bay. Now adays $300 is chump change to spend on Lego.

Hope u or who ever owns the sets got them on a discount or free to get so many too early in the game. And please dont stack them like that for long periods of time.

That was just the staging area until I was able to clear a few things out.

$100 for new in box?  Point me in that direction and you got a sale.

Quick question - what have the in-store prices at TRU been for the 21309 (retail or typical up-charge? [Not showing yet online and closest store to me is 45 miles.] Have $30 in Rewards to use and tomorrow is TRUST.

$119, it'll disappear quickly, most stores are only getting 2 units.  IF their stock even arrives in time.  Some stores that were supposed to have theirs per inventory hadn't yet received them when I was looking earlier in the week.  I haven't been calling since as I found my two at Barnes and Noble. Lol
