January 16, 20169 yr The SeaCow rise is the evidence, that there is a lot of surprises in lego investing world and you cannot predict anything. For me the SeaCow was sh.t - first, its neither a pirate ship, nor steampunk ship, since it looks like a crazy children boat. Second, the licence + figs are worthless, since Lego Movie mania is over and its not interesting for AFOLs. I refused to buy this set, unless it go to discounts, as other Movie sets... For me the winner of Movie sets was Benny spaceship, since it is great, it is a classic space spaceship, and I was able to buy them with nice discounts. But the lego world is crazy, even such crazy set can rise. Same with duplo looking R2-D2, or the popularity of the barbie-doll-house looking death star... On the other hand, wonderfull classic castle sets like Medieval Market or Kingdom joust have horrible slow rise, although are unique and from favourite theme... Really hard job this investment game... All of the answers are in this post. Read carefully.

January 16, 20169 yr As stated many times on these forums, the Sea Cow was either a hit or sh*t. It seems to be a hit and its rapid growth shows the market is still strong. While other investments are tanking, this is a great example of why LEGO investing is still worthwhile if you pick the right sets.
January 16, 20169 yr I am so glad I went against what I wanted to do and relied on a friend here who said buy it

Yeah, Castle sux!!!!!!!! I've barely been able to move all but one 70404 King's Castle this winter for a sweet (not Town Hall, but enough) profit. The sets/shows might not always be that great, but I have a hard time believing Castles, Ninjas, Dinosaurs, Cops & Robbers, etc., ever fall that far out of the minds of youngsters.
January 16, 20169 yr for context know not directed at me but the forum in general but yep that is pretty much how it has been though I never was against it I have one personally mint sealed for me since release just did not know investment potential and thought down now I wish I had more fyi the friend on here is not a bp member friend but a very good friend personally

January 16, 20169 yr I got 8 Sea cows at almost half price and have sold them all now for around $140 Australian dollars profit each . (=$96 USD each profit) . I need the money now - so it was time to cash out. 3 people bought 2 each off me - so some of them are probably going to be resold .
January 16, 20169 yr What are the chances of this popping back in stock? If so what is the best way to track as no stock frackers seem to track this one.

January 16, 20169 yr You know why I knew this would do very nice? Because everyone was skipping on it, and had a short life too. Shortest for an exclusive, name me a pirate ship that didn't do well? Have to put you in a collector's head, if he have them all, he sure want this one Edited January 16, 20169 yr by TargetZero

Ed That's why you develop your own, objective strategy, based on what you deem important, as you learn from your past experience, with some input from others and then you need to stick to it. This stuff in my mind is a marathon. I have been collecting/investing/buying/selling and simply observing the Lego company and the market for 10+ years and have not bought into buying at the tail end of a production run. And yes, I have lost out on some sets that I expected to not do well but for the most part I've done well. Get a plan based on good objectives, and stick to it.
