I saw Walmart had a rollback online and in selected location on the Lion Temple.  I inputed the price on Amazon where I found it cheaper.  Within 15 minutes, Amazon marked it down to 99.88 if anyone is interested.  No sales tax and free shipping. 

 

LINK TO WALMART: LEGO Chima The Lion CHI Temple

Don't let the lack of a full retired tag bother you. This set is done. Even TRU doesn't seem to have any which is incredibly attractive. I am HOPING the Walmart holdouts drop this $20/$30 before holiday shopping madness, but if not I will have no problem buying these at full retail - this is proving to be a moneymaker already. As you said in a worst case scenario this will be flippable during the holidays for $200, even if it doesn't have long term growth potential.

thats what I was leaning with. If I want more I have to get now as I won't be back this way. I picked up 4 and left about 10. I just raised my cost average to right around 100 with the sale ones I bought factored in. I just thought it was weird they were in the new planogram at walmart. These were all stores that redid for fall already. Like you said even toys r us doesnt have which is a feat in itself

Wow, this set continues to appreciate nicely, even still being available at WM. I think it is time to scoop these up at $120. Holiday demand will soon cause these to disappear at WM, and price appreciation will continue to push these towards $200.

Pure gravy for me. These sets were readily available to me for 50% off over the spring and summer so I put together 10. And I have no problem sitting on these until 2015 X-mas just to see what highs they can hit!

While it's nice to see this set appreciating quickly, I am unloading all of mine this Christmas. Themes like chima and ninjago are only popular when the kids are into them. Ninjago has all but disappeared with the increasing popularity of chima, and chima will do the same thing once the next hot thing comes along. I plan on using the quick profits from this set on safer investments.

Agreed... once my internet connection is up and running in my new house I will put my two copies of this set up for sale.

FYI I've sold mine for 150

My local walmart had a few of these on the shelf. Only two in decent condition. $120. I'm considering it.

It is also on ebay Toys R Us for $99.99 too.

So seriously are you all saying you think this set will appreciate nicely once it is gone but that TRU might have a lifetime supply?

 

Just curious

My Toysrus orders all shipped today.

Can you send me a pallet ? Right now this set is very seeked after, and we still have some time until Xmas (all my sets found in the wild have been sold for MSRP + 50% in a few days)

 

I would fear to see a new lion temple coming on summer 2015, but until then this is a great set to flip.

Anyone able to tell how many of the 1800 are left on TRU site?

1800 is not a big problem if it is not a new production run.

I watched just the eBay sold amount and they sold 7-8 today.

Chi lion temple meet crawler and summer riding camp. Welcome to the family of exclusives. Hopefully not but still leery.

It is a good set. If each seller bought 100+, we only need 18 resellers.

Those types of numbers are reserved for GE and T1 lol.

It is a great set and with it part of the theme park it will be seen by lots and wanted but the prospect of tru getting there hands on it could derail it.

I am no longer considering it, lol. Not from wm anyway, Want paying attention and didnt realize TRU had a billion. Now I am even leery about using rewards points and getting one for $65 at TRU. I feel like that would still be pretty safe though.

Wow - didn't realize TRU had so many left online. It's been sold out in store forever.

ordered in multiples of 2 from TRU and they came in the lego shipper. seal codes were 11R4 and 27R4
