This set was free give away set whole june...interesting how it will perform....price drped to around 10 or less on eBay....

 I saw the price drop to $10 or less so I held mine.  Hopefully these disappear soon.  I would love to be able to sell the at retail.  Especially if they launch a second line of them.

I already sold mine. Figured I could use the space more than the 10 extra bucks I maybe got out of them later.

This set is an interesting case. I believe this is the first time Lego has had mass, unnannounced, giveaways?

On my time line...yep, first time...may be CHima not a good performer so far. LEGO smart move???

Yes, I think so. It seems like TLG was just trying to get rid of these. Just like the 2012 Advent Calendar (and various other sets that were on sale/giveaways), the market is flooded with these. It will take a while for them to bounce back up... If ever.

I think I remember seeing a picture on here from Ed or Jeff where they had a whole box full of these things, especially after buying a bunch of B-Wings.

At least they were giveaways though, at least usually.

Wait, so noone thinks this was actually a brilliant ploy by LEGO to start grassroot Chima movement ?  You know, so parents can give these sets to kids and their friends to start a demand for the rest of Chima line....

Considering I paid nothing extra for the ones I received I see it all as pure profit.  I have no plans to sell any though so much as donate them.

Especially one month prior to the start of the TV show?  As I mentioned in another thread, T-minus 8 days and counting...
