10227 - UCS B-Wing Starfighter

Cool!?  More like dollar signs in my eyes!  If this could go quietly now after many of us stocked up at a significant discount, we'd be making money sooner rather than later.

If it is EOL, Christmas can't come fast enough!

what a thought - i have 8 i would sell ASAP for a large profit for xmas!

If it goes EOL and people are selling this Christmas, I think they will still be leaving a lot of money on the table.

I think that's what we're all hoping for.. The more people that are willing to jump ship and settle for a small gain, the faster we brickpickers will see large gains by sitting on them.

Ahhh my bad. I thought you were saying you were going to sell at Christmas.

Still, if people are making their $50-60 from international buyers such as myself, I don't blame them. Just think they are crazy considering what we have seen with some sets in the past.

Is there something I am missing? I thought that its had this status for a while, so that TLG could catch up with demand after May the Fourth.

Commence panic buying?

I doubt it, or else Amazon would be reacting too. They still have it for $156, so while it is there, I wouldn't panic. Though I think that it could be going EOL soon, I don't think it will be this month. I would guess that it will be gone in the Fall.

In an unrelated note, I see the new Star Wars sets are now listed and available August 1.

Add the Ewok Village set to that list. Available September 1st! Can't wait!

I feel like its going to take a while for this to go away completely, even if they've confirmed retirement.

Commence panic buying?

 

Indeed  :frantics:

 

But Lego have pulled this kind of thing before where it's obviously been a short term logistics or stock issue and then it comes back online in a month or more.  

 

Would be great if it is gone.  Less supply in the market and most of us investors have enough by now.  :D

After selling so many (I presume) for $99, it might be tough to sell another year or two of product for double...or maybe I am overestimating the number of investors out there who bought low and are willing to undercut S&**** for the foreseeable future.  Personally, I think the B-Wing goes next for UCS sets...but I am more unreliable than a Lego Store employee.  And less clean-shaven.

Agreed, Grolim. This MAY not be gone yet.

Whatever happens I'm confident the ones I managed to snag on the 4th were the rock bottom price on this set. Whenever it finally does EOL I should be set up to make a tidy, though perhaps not a spectacular profit. Whatever. When you get a chance to buy a UCS set at 50% off MSRP you answer the bell :)

With all thats said, i really like the b wing and hate to see it go - it has alot of interesting parts in it, and i do feel will do very well in terms of investing. i have 8, but now wish i was able to grab even more!

.....and now it shows as "available now" on Lego's site.... Looks like it was a short term "call for availability" issue.
