Love to surprise future me with $1000 on my credit card, he's gonna be pissed!😁

Are they only producing 5000 of each? These went much faster than the last round, granted they are a lot cooler builds

back at 319, at least for me

I did receive the email confirmation with it at $249.99, so I have that going for me.

10k each

Looks like they will all sell out eventually, some rather quickly. Previous rounds only 2/5. And we were complaining about high prices...

Any word yet if there will be future events? With this round going so well, Lego must be tempted.

Dangit. Forgot about this until right now and missed out on the one I wanted most. Oh well.

Me too!  I can't believe how fast these are gone.  The Chalet and Steam-Powered Science were the only sets I really wanted out of this round.  Guess I'll have to pay the markup when the Chalet finally releases.

Observatory...she gone!

I bought all five of them but will collect in France instead of Switzerland, the markup is nuts almost 20% more after comversion. I can pick things up whilst doing a grocery run on the weekend. 

Diner...she gone!

 

Train station is going..going...going  SHE GONE!

Well this is Brickpicker after all, so I'm sure that a kind member of this forum will gladly relieve you of 2.5x RRP.

Busy day at work missed out on the Dinner and Chalet. I guess I will have to buy them on eBay from some QFLL  

Well darn, missed out on everything I wanted. Too bad there's only 34days and 20 hours left...

Why did this round sell out so fast?

Grabbed a few only once I realized how quick they were going. Really didn't love any this time but fomo kicked in 🙀

Next time LEGO will need to set the limit at half a set per address.

Anyone else underestimate these? Price…. Rd2 results…. World economics…. 
 

thinking big picture: >40k AFOLS spending $$$$ we will certainly see future projects. 
 

side note: how many (x)rrp for it to be worth acquiring multiples? I do see these 2x. 3x seem silly but possible?

Son of a *****.....I totally forgot about this today! Idiot! I was really hoping to grab a Chalet for my Christmas Village.....if anyone wants to make a trade, I'm all ears. I know it's a longshot, but I gotta try...Congrats to those who did score! This round was pretty impressive. Still can't believe they sold out that fast even with the new tighter parameters.

That train station alone was worth a $4M gross for LEGO.

So reading some of the comments perhaps the reason they all sold out so fast is because the first 2 rounds were only open to select countries and this round was available to all countries that lego currently ships to. Maybe lego will realize with an increased customer base comes increased demand and do another Round 3 part B that will ship in 2024  

Shut out because I was traveling for work today. Oh well. Did not expect a complete sell out within a few hours.

True. But it's also quite a headache to set this all up. I'm sure they are no losing money but it's probably less profitable than just putting out another $50 SW set.

I've never seen numbers but any guesses how much a middle of the road $150-250 AFOL set sells (e.g. bookstore, Barracuda,etc)?

I'm certainly open to arranging something with a fellow Brickpicker.  I'd also be more than happy to work out a trade for another Brickpicker set.

Which are you looking for?

I'm looking for a Winter Chalet.  Missed out on it yesterday.  Would be happy to arrange payment, or trade another Bricklink set.

I was not planning on buying any as I don't love any of them. However, the rate they moved gave me confidence I could flip. I purchased all five.
