Got a crawler for a family memeber.  Told LEGO Shop at Home i'd like to exchange it because the box is smushed. Initially the guy was going to return it, and came back after putting me on hold saying I couldn't return it because there were none left to replace it with.

Finally!

Three years from now it'll be down to just builders buying these, and they won't care about a smushed box. At least I hope not. You know, because a lot of them are smushed...

Lots of happy Australians today probably. I ordered mine on the first day and they arrived today! (Brisbane)

Local TRU says the expect 41999 in 2 weeks. I said put me down for 1. Likely they are retards, but I can be hopeful.

well played.

Another weekend of waiting for me. First one is up on ebay with a $720 price tag

Heho,

i ve got the 41999 as short term investment to purchase other Lego sets:)

I read often people are going to wait until xmas. If "all" do so, there will be a higher offering than the demand for it. Plus the actual "hype" of that set is gone. Todays every Lego releated forum is talking about the Boss. I dont expect this to happen around xmas.

And who is paying those incredible 500+ pricetags? Serious collectors? No, they already have their MRSP set(s). I think collectors thatmissed the set are purchasing now, maybe not for that 509+ tag. I think most of that high price tag purchasers are reinvestors hoping for a 1000+ tag later.

Waht do you think about the hype, when to sell and so on?

Spikey

i'll wait....for great price to come.

Quick note: a lot of buyers from HongKong, Russia and Continental Asia...I don't know who they are.

Hmm

most sales i followed on eBay have been limited to national (and not international) buyers.

I think people paying these prices are people who think this will be a 1,000+ set in the future, only time will tell but I dont see that happening. I have a few just in case though!

I can't wait for the $1K tag. That just means that my open set will be worth a bunch.

Yeah I am going down with the ship. I think we might see it hit a little higher, but it could drop once the hype is over.

4 sold for 550 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lego-Technic-4x4-Crawler-Exclusive-Limited-Edition-41999-/330989261505?pt=Building_Toys_US&hash=item4d107f52c1

who knows - i paid retail for mine, so im set no matter what. i am not in a hurry to sell, and who knows, im sure most of the ones bought in the christmas season will be opened. i do think this set will hit $1,000 but in about two years time. and, considering that they continue to make limited edition models like this.

Someone bought one of mine for $450 and then hasn't paid. Irritating.

That is very annoying.

What's the username? If you are ok with sharing.

Ebay is so stupid as well as you won't be able to leave negative feedback for this buyer.

Zero feedback. But they were international. I wanted to give them a chance.

For those still looking for 41999 at retail, check your Toys R Us stores.  I stumbled upon 3 at my local TRU.  I bought the two with the best condition boxes (all boxes had some issues due to those damn ties TRU uses) and left the 3rd set there.  I was able to use the 15% off coupon so my total for both after taxes was $370.  I'm considering going back to pick up the third but I still have the 2 I bought from lego.com...

Good lord. Does your tRU normally carry exclusives? Mine never do.

what state did they have the three at toysrus

This TRU is in California.  

woah there, TRU doesn't or shouldn't sell these.  There arn't any left....and it's an exclusive...

And why in the world didn't you buy every single one? Even if you did have 2 already. go back!  I was also wondering if since it shows on TRU site, but they don't sell if, if someone was to return it, would the store then in turn put it "on the shelves" for purchase.

Yeah, weird.  I was in there looking for something decent to utilize the 15% off coupon.  Do you guys think I should go back and buy the 3rd set even with a somewhat creased box?  Total will probably be around $195
