I know, wrong thread, but besides mini figures, what difference.  Look basically the same.

 

So the Saturn V hasn't really been on my radar until this thread. Is $102 a good investment price for this? Thx. 

Amazon sold the Saturn V last year for $79 on Black Friday. That's the lowest price I can recall for it. Not sure it will get that low again anywhere, but I would be willing to bet it goes lower than $102 sometime before the end of the year. Tomorrow when SaH offers the GWP would be a good time to get it too. A $20 Gingerbread house and $5 in VIP points brings the price down nicely.

It'd be nice to see the first one alongside these. Most should have done OK selling the $400 set for close to $500, not much profit but still a net gain

I think this time next year I will wish that I had a closet full of 75259 20th Anniversary Snowspeeders at a $20 to $25 average cost.  They have been $20.99 a lot, but only online with limits.  If they were at brick & mortar retail with no limit, I would really load up on them.

The little Dropship is the winner here. At least 2 x retail already.

It's 2 x retail already there?! I can still get it 20% off...

Then start shipping them to me.?

 That's fascinating to me because The prices for previous generation snow speeders are always extremely low.

You can get the last version or the version before that or the version before that for slightly above retail.

 Also the  Imperial troop Carrier from a few years ago with 4 storm troopers I thought would be a slam dunk winner but that 1 barely sells for more than $20.

Clearly the difference is those 20th anniversary figures but I just don't see those reissue sets doing as well as other options right now.

Happy to be proven wrong though!

Dropship 75262 was hard to get here, hence the rarity and price. Same as Trex Transport 75933. Falling off the shelves in other parts of the world , but rare here for some reason.

He may have meant where was it 20% off.

It's actually 25%. Put 3 in cart on GALERIA.DE and apply a 15€ coupon = 45 for 3, 15 a piece. 

The question is: Is it worth buying these? I promised I wouldn't touch anything Star Wars, especially 25% off, brrrr.

It really is way too high for a Star Wars set. The market is just too flooded with almost anything from this theme. I'll pass.

I would really love to know in which part of this world was 75933 T-rex not just falling off the shelves but readily available not to mention with any discount.. truly.. one of the EU LEGO factories is literally just around the corner (cca 20 km far) and still this particular set is nowhere to get..  Heard from the factory workers it wont available until the January.

We had it 30% off at TRU last month and Amazon price matched. Sold out now, though.

damned,, TRU does not have a single shop in this country..

Difficult to get here also. Only available at LEGO Shop at Home for first year , then had short limited run at 1 retailer. Took me the entire life cycle of the set to get the numbers I have at discount. Took some imagination to get that discount too.  

Saturn V available on LEGO.com - US 20% off - limit = 5.

This is getting ridiculous, wth was I thinking when loading up on them?

No, it won´t. Remember that Creator remake which is definitely just around the corner. Coming soon. Real soon.

Definitely around the corner?  Source?  Anything other than "your a**"?

I think it's safe to say a remake is on the way. Could take a year or two, but prices won't explode. They will stop this set in its tracks.
