Just wondering why it is called "4 X 4 Crawler Co-creation 41999" at TRU instead of Exclusive edition...

Well----this is REALLY interesting.  Sold a few of my crawlers this weekend, and noticed the same guy bought 2 from me, and another guy bought 1 from me, and 2 from another person.  I assume these are folks who think $450 is cheap, and they are going to sell them for more down the road?  I am keeping 3 of mine until Christmas--but I had to sell half into the madness. I don't need the money or space in the least---but felt like I was getting too greedy with these things.  (pigs get slaughtered)

That is very interesting. Some person bought two of the same sets from you. That has never happened to me before.

You might as well sell them, because now you're sitting on pretty much 100% profit for your remaining sets.  You've basically paid for what you bought.

Price growth has stalled just a bit on Ebay.

If you think about all the people paying $5-900 for a $3 ugly mr. gold figure they made 5k of...this seems a veritable bargain.  I might sell 1 more for $450--but I am determined to keep at least one for December sale.  Just about all the auctions--and there are many more now--are over $400.  The market is stronger today, than over the weekend.  I'd rather see 20 auctions bid over $400--with multipole bids-----than occasionally seeing a BIN go for $500.

Just called the store, no crawlers in the shipment today. Possibly the first time ever someone has been happy to hear a set is not available lol.

Same around here (Chicago).   No 4x4 LE Crawlers in their Monday shipment.  They were just stocking their shipment in the back when I called.

I just received both the 4x4's I ordered and 1 had a small puncture in it. I did what someone here said and called and explained that it was a gift and was disappointed. They said I can either send it back and they will send another or she would take 20% off the price. 

 

I took the 20% since the hole wasnt too terrible and thats $40 to spend on other sets. Hopefully others have the same success as I did.

Southern Ca. Lego stores, No 41999: Glendale, Pleasanton, San Meteo, Ontario, & Costa Mesa, NONE.

Yep no crawlers at northern califoria stores or oregon

Weird, Lego S&H just said they'd expedite a replacement to me for mine that was punctured.  I'm not shipping it back until I receive the replacement.

send them a private message and ask em.  I want to know who the fool is that opened their box to sell 4 tires

 

I wondered that too. hilarious.

Called TRU about their site. No stores have one, cept randomly in Washington dc. They are getting a shipment. Not sure what to make of it.

Funny, the guy you list here bought one from me too.  He must be stocking up for Christmas!

or he is trying to buy all 20,000, destroy all but one, and sell it for 100 million dollars

My predictions:

1st: This set 41999 not exist for a lots of people (lets them found out in next couple a month)

2nd: This set will easy hit 1000-1500 mark pretty soon ( way before Xmas)...How many rich people ready to pay for exotic set worldwide...I think more than 20k. They just don't know about this set yet.

in 10 days....500.00.....its just a beginning............hold your good stuff for now.
