I'm probably out of the loop on this set, but is there any evidence that there will be another production run of it? I'd like to have one at retail for my collection and another to give my poor college friend who loves both all things LEGO and space.

 

It's "SOLD OUT" not "RETIRED" for a very long time so, it' "could" be back I think where I'll restock.  I've now sold another 40 for

So I guess my question would be, should I go ahead and drop twice retail on one now, or should I hold out for a new production run?

i'm trying to understand why you would sell 40 of these now, where you could potentially sell them for twice as much in 6 months?

 

A person who will get rid of competitors will say you that you should sell it now because of new production run. I say you, don't do it...

(And I have 101 of them....)

I sold one for twice retail and then bought one for twice retail.

 

If I get more, great, if not, I have one.

Sorry if I wasn't clear, but I have none. I missed them when they were actually available, whenever that tiny window was. I want one just for my collection, NOT for investing. Should I buy now or should I wait for a new run? Essentially I'm really hoping for a new run at this point so I can attain one at retail price just to have one. I'm not too excited at paying $70 just to have one. I'm even less excited about paying even more if they never have another production run. There has been no consistency with these CUUSO/Ideas sets as far as production and it's kind of driving me nuts.

You should get one now doubt it's coming back.

I agree, keep.an.eye in bricklink. I scored 12 for $50 a piece shipped last month. Can find deals like that but they are drifting away. I don't believe there will be another production and that is why I paid for sleeping when tru had then

I have 1 of these.  You guys internationally that have scored these in such great quantities should consider yourselves very fortunate.  The limit through LEGO Shop at Home in the U.S. has always been 1 I believe and even the TRU listings were 1 or 2 per person.  This one has not been easy to acquire in multiples at retail price.

If it's just ONE you need for a friend I would buy it now. 

 

I have a quite a few in my inventory so really hoping this set is DONE   I would love to cut my inventory in half actually...less risk as a small time reseller.  If there's another production run than my inventory will be sitting for a long, long time.  I think what Tabby is doing is smart...make some guaranteed profit now, just incase it does come back.  Save a few for long term.

TRU had no limit for a day. I had 50 ready to check out but I chickened out, was not convinced it would be gone so fast. I did end up with 10 but man I missed out there. 

Quick, run to TRU online!

Well, I hope they did.  Timing was crazy, pure coincidence.

Well... at least now someone could probably trade him at a better terms (for him), since the speculations are going to go towards "it might be coming back"
