I am still seeing a few batcaves locally. No discounts. Is it worthy of a full price investment?  retiring soon?

No and not until end of year most likely but will be scarce at Xmas most likely.

No TRU by you? You can at least use the 20% off coupon in the Daily Deals Thread

The Batcave was $60 last week when TRU had DC Universe sets on sale for 20% off.

It seems the batcave is growing nicely in UK, where the set retired early this year. It is now already doubled retail price according to BP price guide. One would expect the set will do as good, if not better when it retires by the end of year (?) in US.

Panic buy time?

This set is officially "unprocurable" from Lego, in case anyone is curious.

This will probably be my goto set for Bricktober.  My TRU restocked after I cleaned them out last time.

Never hurts to buy more batcaves. I would hope everyone has a decent stash by now. 

Picked one up today. I think these will disappear very quickly as the holidays approach. One of my TRUs had about six on the shelf.

Price matched Amazon down to $70 and used up some expiring TRU rewards to knock off $20. Scored a free pumpkin polybag for my trouble.

Edit: I considered the Power Armor Lex set since that was my goto TRU price match + reward combo but I'm fully stocked on those and the 2015 sets have me less bullish on it now. Batcave is more in line with my current investment strategy.

Who needs Batcaves, when there's still falcons to be had.

Yea thought was expensive and not really a set I want would just be to invest. Think I will wait for better deal or buy TH instead lol

Picked up two Batcaves at Target for $62.99 (price cut) - 5% Target Card + tax (ugh...) = about $64.46 each...

haven't seen them anywhere local in PA but today i was in manhattan so stopped at the TRU at times square, had none, but the Lego store on Broadway had them on sale for $61 and had maybe 15 of them.  so i was pretty shocked and only had money for 1 or I'd have gotten a few.  Still seems like a good buy finding it under retail at this point.  plus i used a $5 reward so after taxes, still $61.  happy with it though.  

 

so if anyone is looking for one, 23rd and broadway Lego store has em right now.  

 

would also say that since they are super hard to find and lego store has them on sale, it's probably the store's last stock of it. 

I found one last week at a local Target.  The box still had a bit of tape and wrapping paper.  Must have been a Christmas return.  With taxes, I got it for $65.  I have been running the math on it and based on eBay sales, I'd have to sell north of $100 to make anything and that would still be slim.  I guess the stance for now would be hold.  Is it worth the investment at $65?

These just now finally started to dry up. Hold until at least this Christmas. I'm hoping to sell the majority of mine for at least $200, whenever that occurs.

This didn't make the retirement list but I can't seem to find it on the UK or AUS shop at home sites.  US site still has it listed as Sold Out. I hope this one finally goes.

I believe this was already retired everywhere else and only available in the US.

I don't see 6862 - Superman vs. Power Armor Lex on the list either, but I'm pretty sure it's going.

I would bet on it. My average buy-in is $50, but would definitely jump on more at $65, at this point.

Anyone bundling this up with the Funhouse, selling alone or still stashing it away until next year when the Superman v. Batman movie frenzy will start?
