Sold today for $188. I have just one left now. I've never built one so in 2 minds whether to keep or sell.

It is firmly holding at around $200 on eBay.  Any leaked picture of the new MF will test this bottom very hard

Yeah... time is becoming our enemy. 

If I had any I'd have got shot of them all by now. There's few things more disappointing than than a new/better model on the horizon causing values to nosedive. I'd rather make 200% on the way up than lose 25-50% on the way down. It seems like we have selling windows now and it's all in the timing so don't be too greedy!

 I have 2 of the 3 I had left. I'm not going to keep one for myself so I may have to list them now. But what if the new one stinks?

Good point

Do like me. I intend to keep one. If the new one stinks... good! If the new one is better. I will open it and build it.

Depends on if you want to risk it. I sold my last NIB one for £210 last week. Only cost £90 so will do for me...

I understand your dilemma, so I'll ask you a couple of questions.  How much do you love the OT?  Is this MF *your* MF?

I'm of two minds as well.  I have one 7965 left.  I was 4 in 1977.  This is *my* MF.   But my son is 3, and the upcoming MF...that will be his MF.  He won't care nearly as much about the OT MF as I do.

With that in mind, I kept my last 7965, and plan on building it (someday).  And I do plan on getting the new MF, and that one will be for my son and I. 

Hope that helps.

Love OT! I have a toy MF, not Lego. I saw SWOT in 77, aged 6.

I know the dilemma. I'm not a huge Lego Investor. Only have 1 of SSD, R2D2 and now 1 MF 7965.

Guess I can always buy one back near the price I sold from from Bricklink etc?

The 7695 is an OK set IMO...as with all of the non 10179 Falcons.  I really wouldn't put too much effort into this set.  Sell them and put the money elsewhere.

I tend to agree. Would love 10179!

Who was that idiot MOD that said to dump?

i think it was us because we thought it wasn't truly done late last year.  How in the world could lego not keep 7965 at retail while the world waited for TFA refresh  lego would have sold tons of them after the last teaser trailer.

heck, I made more profit off my used set than my MISB ones since I sold at $140-$150  each.

It was good advice - made me heaps and no sleepless nights. Keeping one back for posterity is also good, then al bases are covered.

I remember everyone saw the initial spike and was like "Woooooooo hoooooooooo the sky's the limit on this one!" And I was like........

Especially if you consider that MF and X-Wing are the police HQ-s of Star Wars. Their appearance can be expected just as much as the sun is coming up each morning...

Either way it is an interesting case of mob mentality.  How many people sold (or hold a couple months ago) just because others said so ?  There are so many opinions on this thread. How should one decide which ones are BS and which ones are slightly less BS ?   

I'm not a QFLL so I believe there's money to be made for holding them...Not every one will want the new version...

Just refer back to my earlier post. I won't be picking up a 10179 but if I didn't have a 7965 I'd want it, just for the OT nostalgia. Like I said earlier this is *my* MF.

yeah, like maybe a DS!

Anyone know which bag the minifigures are in for this set? Have a chance of getting one where the only bag opened is the first bag, just want to make sure I get all of the minifigures.

All figs are in bag #1 and there are 3x bags marked #1.

Typical, the minifigures are probably missing. 

So the image of the new MF has been leaked for a few days now, what do you guys think about the resale value of this MF after Sept 4?
