Are people thinking thinking this is gonna be a huge gainer? Doubtful IMO

6862 could maybe go up to 3x retail if the classic custome isn't refreshed, the other minifigs are exclusive for now,

If it hits $50, I'll be happy.

this is reasonable if the mini figs stay exclusive for a minute

I like how it's held a steady premium over MSRP on EBay for well over a year.

Checkout the post I made. Many of the opinions are still valid. Superman has global appeal and have upcoming DC movies and comics will help 6862 as long as WW, Lex, and Supes are not refreshed (especially in their classic costumes).

In retrospect this set would have more appeal if the polybag Lex (close to his Super Powers suit) was in this set . After the post below, I picked bought this fig for my son. Most excellent offering by Lego.

I traded a Martian Manhunter for one of those Gamestop exclusive Lex polys.

Both are very cool figs. Both parties won in that trade. Too bad I only have 1 Lex... I really wish he would have been in 6862 because that fig and mech go together like good ol' peanut and jelly.

Does anyone know how many 10220s come in a LEGO box?  Thanks

 

4 in an Original LEGO box.

Are you saying some people are deadly allergic to Lex fig ??? :D

Architecture Farnsworth House is "out of stock" at Lego.  Amazon has a decent deal on these at $50.09 (retail 59.99).  Target has raised its price on these to $69.99.  It seems like when Target goes over retail, it is a sign EOL.  Anyone with B&****** coupons can get a better deal there, but only 1 at a time.

I don't think these say a lot. I believe this is tracked automatically, and also updated when (in case) it comes back. It does not mean anything like retirement.

no, it doesn't. I believe it updates automatically with availability from these three sites. But interesting to see US and Canada both out

Sooooo.... is R2D2 10225 retiring, or just a shortage?

So Amazon received at least two batches of superman lex 6862s over the weekend at $19.99 each. At one point on Saturday, I saw 400 something. Now they have 766.

The 10226 Sopwith Camel briefly sold-out this morning but now 252 are available.

They also received more 10220 VWs. They are back up to 999+.

Sorry I don't have better retirement news on this side or the pond :)

Also 475 Death Star's and 365 R2-D2's left for now

R2d2s dying....

R2d2s dying....

Hear, hear! Walmart and target are both OOS for it...

Does at least ToysRUs still have some?
