Available May 1, should be $30 and exclusive to Toys R Us

 

Nice looking plane.

I'm a sucker for WW1 / WW2 era planes...

Not too many thinks that way judging by the performance of Sopwith Camel

This set was at my local TRU today. Picked one up and will pick up more when I remember my 15% coupon >.<

Was hoping they would have a couple other sets out early, but it was just this and series 17 minifigs.

"Box Office Week: Wonder Woman smashes predictions opening at #1 with $100.5M domestic and $223M worldwide, setting multiple opening weekend records for a female director."

It was a damn good movie.   

How is this set doing in US? In EU has been exclusively available at Toys'r'us for some 6 months (until last month) and one month later seems also to retire from LEGO Shop at Home EU. Don't believe there are many copies sold in EU during 7 month availability. Retail price was also quite high, EUR 40 (47 dollar), for a rather small set.

In the UK TRU sold out of nearly all of these in July/August at £14.99 and never got any more in.

Lowest ebay price, £45. Lowest Amazon price, £70. One of the winners from yesterday's sale.

A proper example of what can happen to sets that are not discussed on here, and not available at other retailers.

Shame it has that plane included to drag down the value. Reminds many of Sopwith Camel maybe.

The SC was a surprising turkey. Luckily I got mine at -50% and managed to just get RRP after fees. Even the 100th anniverary of WW1 failed to move it.

This being Pooper Heroes too will mean that reaching RRP + fees post EOL is as likely as my Tabby becoming the next CEO of LEGO. Even though he'd do a better job!

Short shelf life, interesting minifigs limited availability and 30% off for a few hours. I think it will do just fine apart from that damn plane.

Not sure how a monoplane will remind people of a biplane.

More of an early Fokker.

In my opinion, the plane is the best part of the set, wouldn't have bought a copy of the set if it weren't part of it.

Some selling for £40 on eBay already.

Maxi buildable fig seems to be the main draw.

Hoping these can get up to £50, once SAH and Lego Stores have finally completely sold out.

Hoping for £60 once Cheese has finally sold out ?

Back at Asda for under £30 (at least 10 available). There goes any potential for a supposedly retired and TRU exclusive set.

Just added 1000 to basket.

Not sure if there is really 1000 of them but if there are then these have been returned to Lego by Toys R us or something.

Poof.............

So this one was pretty quick to retire. Is the Wonder Woman minifigure unique ? Any Parts of Ares giant fig printed? I really like the set but haven't cracked one open. Was it the only set for the Wonder Woman movie?

Yes to all I believe. 

Ares has stickers, not printed parts. But minifigures and WW's shield are unique for this set.
