We all know, or have at least heard by now that ships tend to do well as investments after they are retired. Does this set enter that category? Or is it too much of a "kids' set" as it is part of the Ninjago theme. Plus of course the fact that the jury is still out on Ninjago in general as a good investment.

I think this set will do very well after EOL. It is one of the few Ninjago sets I own and is very playable.

Thanks LegoPodcaster. When you say you only own a few Ninjago sets, is that because you are not sold on the theme yet? Or is it just that you haven't bought the sets yet? I am still trying to decide how I feel about Ninjago as a whole. It is a cool theme, but it is geared more towards children, and as we all know, children have short attention spans. Lol.

It's mostly because I have other sets I want to buy instead and am limited on space. I do think the Ninjago theme as a whole should do well after it is EOL.

I'm not quite sure the jury is still out......most if not all people agree that those little ninjas are investment winners.

It's a horrible ship. Not even good for spare parts. I say this as a dedicated ship collector.

If this set goes up. I don't feel it's because of ship collectors. Only if it's a ship collector that collects all ships. It's because it's Ninjago and it's a fun playable theme that they can't get anymore. Gotta wait for EOL!!! It will do good in the secondary market, because the ship looks cool and it's a freakin' Dragon ship for Christ Sakes!!! Who wouldn't want that?!?!? Comes with 6 Minifigs. Lord Garmadon and Sensei Wu are in this Set which I feel will keep the set desirable. And that's my two cents on it. Oh and I believe the ship also flies.

This one just came up on my radar and after doing some research this looks like one cool set. I'm definitely getting one. I never gave Ninjago much thought but after seeing this one I'm going to pay a little more attention to the theme. Did I mention this ship is COOL?

Destiny's Bounty is a cool set. I wish Lego would make a Airship theme

Just pulled the trigger on it. $65 on Amazon and free shipping. Best price I've seen so far.

I'm staring at 4 of them on clearance at Walmart right now. $54/ea

Too bad none of the Wal-marts around here have them.

And it's highly improbable they would be on clearance as well even if they did. It seems each Wal-Mart decides on their own what is to be clearanced and what isn't. Corporate really doesn't tell the individual stores what to place on the clearance rack or what price to set. The store manager does that.

I've seen clearance items at wal-Mart that were priced only a $1 less than the original sticker....and some that were prices well over 75% off. It's a crap shoot no matter how you look at it.

You just have to be at the right store at the right time......like mmatthie must have been........so snag 'em if you can.

yoyo has this set on sale. apply some coupons (yoyo or yoyo30) to get it for 52 or less :)

Hey guys, did a quick search but didn`t find any threads relating specifically to the investment potential of 9446. Only a couple of "should I buy/deal threads." If there is one that I missed, I`m sorry and please correct it 

 

Ok, anyway, I`m curious about the future of this set, if the title isn`t a give away. It seem to have flattened out just under the $150, but my question is, will it go even higher this year? It`s a really nice looking set, and I`ve managed to (hopefully, will know for sure tomorrow) get one sealed for MSRP. Could it hit $200 realistically by Christmas? I`ve read that it is no longer prominent in the show, personally I`m not familiar with it so no way for me to know, but would appreciate anyone`s opinions on it. Thanks!

I'm skeptical on where further growth comes from on this line. The new sets seem like they should bring a boost, but many of these have climbed pretty high. This set in particular is cool, but not epic enough in my mind compared to the POTC ships. $200 by Christmas I'm taking the under.

I've got a sealed on the way we are planning on opening... As a Ninjago house, I think $200 is reasonable. The kids love it but yeah it's not in any of the new episodes and I refused to pay over $150. Got it for $186 with shipping from the US and I think that was pretty good.

Thanks guys! It`s a neat looking set and I think at $80 there is a decent gain to be had, even if it doesn`t climb much higher/at all.

Good point. POTC is far more iconic and the growth we`ve seen there really is understandable. DB I think is driven moreso by the fan base and it`s unique look from other Lego ships. Even though it does seem to have levelled off, it has already gone up quite a bit since last year. Fair enough on the under

Oh man, if you had waited just a bit longer you could have bought mine for a bit cheaper   Just kidding   Have fun building it with the family, it`s supposed to be a really solid build and well, we already know how awesome it looks!
