ATTENTION COLLECTORS AND INVESTORS:

On June 1, 2012, LEGO will be releasing a new version of the SOPWITH CAMEL. The older version, set 3451, did extremely well in the secondary market, increasing almost 200% from MSRP. This set looks much more complicated and accurate. Watch the LEGO 'DESIGN' video. Nice detail. A must have for any investor or collector, so save your pennies for June 1st!

Here is the LEGO Press Release:

BILLUND, Denmark

Do me a favor and not be so harsh on the newer members.......give people some time to figure out the forums, point them in the right direction. Not everything has to be an argument

Agreed. I seem to remember a time (and honestly it wasn't even that long time ago) when there was no one who made backhanded, pointed comments at others and it seemed like such a nice place to hang out, but as often is the case in any other forums out there, things like that could change in a hurry with a few sour apples coming into the picture.

Take it easy on the newer members, especially on forums like those. It's *not* like we have hundreds of new posts coming in daily to a point where it's an unmanageable mess.

I have my money on the 10220 Volkswagen camper,

I definitely noticed on this forum theres a more respectful theme to this forum. It's also forget that this forum has 13 y/o's buying 5 dollar sets w/ their 3 month saved up money and 28 y/o's like myself w/ a medical degree for the same cause on here.

Maybe members need to do Forum a favor and check before posting also? the guy has 64 posts, I am sure he checked forums if he managed to write 64 posts and i am sure he was on different forums before (likely) and if everyone would open a new thread for everything this would get out of hand instantly.

Its something if you have 2 posts and open a new thread but 64?

Lighten up a bit? Mmmkay? Let the moderators do the police work - if they think things are out of hand, they'll handle it in their own way, it's not your job to pounce on other members, especially when it's not really warranted for (like I said, it's not like things are even getting out of hand in the first place).

A proper way to phase an answer to the OP's question would be to say..."Yes...I think it's a good/bad investment. By the way, for future reference, just do a quick search. There are multiple threads on this topic...Thanks." Simple. Polite. To the point. Have a nice day. :bug:

This set is going to be a good investment even if purchasing at MSRP. This is a really cool display set!

I agree. Usually really good investments are good even if purchased at MSRP. However, I would still recommend waiting for a discount since it should still be a while before it retires.

It is a neat set and should do very well in the afterlife....

while hunting for monster fighters clearance a few weeks ago I came across a sopwith camel sitting by his lonesome on a walmart shelf. seals were intact, and the box was in good shape, so I bought it because I don't have any of these yet. I paid msrp($100), but feel confident it will do well a few years down the road. I am glad I bought it.

Money in the bank this one. I predict a nice solid return and have bought a couple. Hopefully it truly is EOL and we can see that bear out soon.

This set EOL? Has it been out a year yet? I would expect VW Camper to go first.

Don't think it is yet, but hopefully soon. Definitely not easy to find locally for me.

It seems this set is hard to find outside of Europe. Being completely nosey, where in NZ are you?

The Lego Sopwith Camel just dropped a few bucks on Amazon.com, down to $95.90.  This is the first time I've seen Amazon discount the Camel in many months.  I've been watching it every day.  Still not enough for me to bite, but we'll see if it drops a little more.  I have one so far I purchased with a $20 off coupon at the Lego Store.

I think the sopwith will still be around in November, so I'm looking forward to buying a couple on black friday. I don't think we'll see any significant discounts on it before then.

Dropped down to $92.00 now...

Does everything go on sale at the lego store on black friday?  If so, what kind of deals can I expect?  20% off?

I dunno, this will be my first time. If Lego doesn't do some decent discounts, I'm hoping Amazon will.

Now only $88.29 at amazon.com

Third party fulfilled by Amazon has it at $87.40. Box with slight wear and one small crease, but free shipping and 13% off made me a buyer.

Still two left in case anyone is interested.

I went ahead and pulled the trigger on another one as well.  Darn you amazon and LEGO!

Anybody notice the pricing---I noticed the last few semi-sales AMZN had--they lowered the price to EXACTLY .10 cents per piece.  They did that with a few ninjago and a couple chima recently.  Camel is now 88.29 for 883 pieces.

That's weird. I wonder if the tower bridge will go on sale for $428.70
