Did a Pin just dropped?

Did a Pin just dropped?

Lol. I guess that idea was the elephant in the room. Ah well.

I was not a believer in this set until I took a close look at the box a few months back.  It is a gorgeous box.  Great minifigures.  A cool building.  It displays and plays well.  

The Bat Cave hasn't exactly been pulling up trees here in EU since EOL. I think I'll be swerving this one. Probably better options out there.

I'm going to disagree with you here. Most bought Batcaves at

I have some, I wanted to have it last until Thanksgiving weekend for the set 2 of 2.

Along with everything else that goes away early I will go ahead and place my orders.

yeah, a great build also. my 5 year old loves it.

just wish it was bigger.  it is very easy to add another wing or two by getting a used set (or even partial one).

nevertheless, it should do very well after retirement.

 Mack,
Stray away from this thread until I get 20 more.
Thank You!

We need a post from mscheaf then we will know that it is going to go out of stock everywhere shortly.

(actually it is just at LEGO Shop at Home with limit 2 so not sure it will happen that quick).

Thanks, that's helpful information about the display quality of the set.

Mine has been out for a while but I have raven99 and fogelbaby in my city.. 

who me? lol...  unfortunately we have a lot of exporters in our area too!  

I have a theory on the TRU exclusives like 6857.  Notably, that non-TRU sellers get discouraged by TRU's presence in the market, which they see as a bottomless well of inventory.  So they give up and undercut TRU by a couple dollars, just to be done with it and move on.  This delays the day when TRU actually sells out.  But once TRU is sold out, my feeling is the set will quickly climb in price, as a huge amount of hoarded inventory has already been sold by impatient resellers.  That's if counterfeit figures don't ruin 6857, but that's a separate issue.  I think counterfeiting is less of an issue with 10937, but you never know.  As a reseller, you always have to keep one eye on China.

I get the concern with Chinese fakes, but I sold 3x Wolverine 6866 for $95 each last week despite the fact that there is a decool perfect copy of the entire set all over the place. I think that most people ready to drop the money on a retired set are smart enough to know the difference in quality over the knock off.

Asylum is back at Amazon if anyone cares (it was previously under review).  Use those affiliate links if you decide to snag one or two.

No, but it looks 'serious' unlike Batcave.  I liked the first Batcave.  The new one just looks too cartooney.  AA has a sweet gothic look, kind of like a HH that hasn't started falling apart.

The set AA 10937 is at -15% for Brick Friday tomorrow on lego.fr (at least). 

 

Maybe it is a sign from the gods of EOL...   

What is anyones take on AA after it retires, whenever that is.

When I look at ebay it seems like there is a lot more sellers of AA than TH or R2.

I know it can have a completely different customer base.

I am trying to figure out how excited to be about this set.

TH yes

R2 yes

HH yes

Tumbler whenever it goes yes

But this one? I do not see people foaming at the mouth "on brickpicker" about loving this set.

Are there true AA believers out there?

The set is really cool. Batman fans are diehard.

How is that not a winner? ;)

How did you find out, email?  The UK has not told us anything yet.

who me? lol... unfortunately we have a lot of exporters in our area too!

I am convinced I would have an easier time buying near EOL exclusives in Brazil than here. :)

I took a look at the previous AA set from a few years ago, and this one BLOWS it out of the water. I think this one will be a winner, even with the threat of counterfeit figures slightly devaluing the set. 

 

Although, if you were a collector & hypothetically going to pay $400 for this set, 2 years from now, i dont think 99 cent reproduction figures will satisfy you.

I'm not a fan of the fakes for any reason, but I wholeheartedly agree: counterfeits are not for collectors. Those buyer pools don't touch.

Out of stock. Maybe another sign. Or at least, another confirmation the set is popular.
