Not yet, but it won’t be long.

Amazon.

Amazon has a November 1, 2018 release date on it's site.  So, it's coming....

I'm looking forward to it hitting Amazon, so it can go on sale.

Kind of random. A lot of people getting this to get the pig and those sweet LEGO Movie trading cards?

Does anyone think this has any investment potential?  Assuming no or small discounts (say 10 - 15%).

No. None. Absolutely no investment potential whatsoever.

Is this on the way out? Looks like not very popular set. Being discounted by Amazon and Walmart up to 20%. And not many stores here carry it and is drying up.

You seem to read your tea leaves differently...I see your reasons to have the opposite meaning

FYI...I do belive EVERY LEGO set hits 20% off eventually or even at the first release...that 20% off should just be considered RRP...the "full price" is only reserved for soccer moms who don;t know any better or shoppers  who don't have the time/energy to get a better price.

If you're a true Lego collector and not just in it for the money then there are sets worth RRP.  Modulars for example.  I even paid RRP for the last AT-AT just because I wanted it.  One of the problems being in this hobby too long and especially if you're trying to make money is that you lose interest in the building and collecting aspect.  If you don't enjoy the build then it's just plastic.

au contraire mon frere...I'm both a "true" LEGO collector and a discerning shopper....no set is worth paying more than I need to...my wife works too hard for me to waste any of it ?

I paid RRP for the Lunar Lander.  Now I did get the GwP that will be sold to offset some of that cost, and its the first set I've paid RRP for in 2 years.  But, I did do it.

Not sure how long this will last, but Barnes & Noble in the US shows stock on this at RRP

Thank you!! No Brainer at RRP. Picked a few.

Interesting that this set is doing OK already. I had little hope for it, so only brought one.

Seems pretty niche to me. They're still somewhat readily available over here so will keep an eye out for sales. If they disappear before then, I'm not too concerned.

I bought one last week. It was shipped to me direct from a nearby store - seems like they will be available for a bit and if you order multiple will be interesting to see if they come from multiple sources.

This set was constantly 30% off here before retirement. Looking at eBay it's a really slow moving set. But it's probably just the European market...

I think this set won't do as well in the European market as it does in the USA. I've got only 2 and got them at 28% off each which in hindsight wasn't the best price I could have bought them at. Oh well, I won't lose money on them, but they won't be the moneymaker that Old Fishing Store is.

was really hoping to see it as a background set in LEGO Masters...basically every set they showed has done well...carnival sets have gone gangbusters
