I keep repeating... when you see a mars rover, buy it! I really think it is done and over with.

Managed to get a total of 6 of them so far. I sold 1 a while ago locally for $100 when they came back in stock thinking they'd be around for much longer. And i figured i should get rid of most of them before consumers start realizing they are back in stock.

 

Once they sold out a second time i pulled my listings. Time to wait and see what happens

>Will it stay or will it go? Should it?

 

Wondering what`s going to happen. If Lego brings it back, it may not be the investment gold some (including myself) have thought. At least not for some time. Still "Sold Out" as of April 21.

I checked every other country that Lego sells to and it is sold out everywhere.

Maybe that`s it then. I`m sure there are many who would like to believe it, but unless they mark it Retired we aren`t going to know for sure.

I've never heard of a case where a set actually disappears from LEGO's website...http://shop.lego.com/en-US/NASA-Mars-Science-Laboratory-Curiosity-Rover-21104. Was your post a response to something I missed, or are you pointing it out. Also, I wouldn't take LEGO CS too seriously...

Guess it was a mobile thing.

Mars Rover status on LEGO Shop at Home changed from "New" to "Exclusive" this may just be based on days since release but it would have been nice if it went straight to retired.

And we are still at sold out status. 

 

With how rare the set currently is I wish a couple of sellers on ebay would stop killing the market pricing these things so low.

I wouldn't worry about it - If its really gone then it will rise in price either way.

 

If you are selling now, you are losing potential money. Unless you are sure its coming back.

Where's Jojoyojimbi when you need someone to clean up the low priced 21104

And that's the problem, it comes back we are losing a fair amount of money not selling, if it is gone we are losing a bunch of money by selling. Thats why I would like people to stop listing these for 60ish shipped.

it's not coming back, guaranteed

Problem: Set is rare, but ebayers are selling them too low.

Solution: Buy them.

So, there are a boat load at MCO (Orlando) airport at the science shop. They are $49.99, which is a little cheeky. . Was so tempted to buy some but, but I'd already picked up a couple at 29.99 through lego shop, I'd rather find value elsewhere.

On ebay Germany they start at 80 euro. So here people appreciate the value better.

 

If I were on vacation in Florida now I would definitely buy them all. The only problem is to ship them home!

 

They are done for sure. Now just wait till the general public learns about it.

There are listed only 7 sellers for that set. From 88.88 to 120 EUR. That is to much money for this little set with 295 pcs. And this NASA theme has, in my opinion, not that much interest, as it has in the US. So i think, the highest price, that people are willing to pay, for this in europe is not more than 60 EUR.

This is the way the market is going, you've got to wait it out. There are many many investors that are happy for a couple of Bucks/pounds per item.

You are wrong, as I have explained in another thread here, Mars Rover is a coproduction of NASA and ESA (European Space Agency). Therefore also Europeans are interesting in this set. Beside this it is a CUUSOO set and everyone who collects this line will have also to buy this one.

 

And you are also wrong with the 60 Euro. Last Rovers heve been sold at 70+ in Europe, over one week ago...

The current price seems to be to high in Europe at the moment. But I'm pretty sure that it will be around 100 Euro in two months.

 

As an example have a look on Hayabusa, this is not really known but the most poeple out of Asia/Japan and one year after it has been sold out the prices are over 100 Euro in Europe.

As we talked, we will see.

I'm really skeptical of this set. I think it's an amazing set but the popularity here in Australia seems really low. There are around 6 available for around $60 AUD on Ebay. Really tossing up if to buy a couple more... What do you guys reckon?

As we talked, we will see.

Yes, we do. :-)

 

But to all other here:

This is the cheapest one at the moment... And now??? ;-)

 

This Regokuso Shinkai 6500 Submarine From Japan was the first CUUSOO set and also not really interesting to the people out of Asia. But it seems to have been a good investment buying it at retail price 3 years ago... ;-)

I got this one so wrong, I figured it was a duff set so decided to offload mine. No sooner than I had sold my last one they went out of stock and are now selling for double money. You win some you lose some!

I have strong believes in this set. I just was wondering what you think will be the ceiling on this one. I think at xmas, when all low-sellers are gone it will be scarce and the value will be at 100 euro easy.

 

I agree there are sets which are more wanted but I think this one will become more scarce. So less competition. Except the person here on the forum who owns 100 of these! He is my hero already. Takes alot of guts to go in on this set so large.

So' I'm your hero? :-)

If you actually own 100 of these, yes! Then I suppose you are. But there is someone else who has 100 of these, right?
