LOL...I don't think any LEGO model in creation does well in traffic, but this has a chance.>>> 

How small are those hands...?

I don't understand people that incessantly b**** about stuff they don't like, yet continue to be involved in said media.  Lego isn't the easiest thing to make money in, especially if you know nothing about it, and personally espouse it.

I have my beef with some practices employed by resellers, but generally, it is what it is, and a lot of you guys love Lego, as do I.  Some people I swear...

Please. Hardly.  It's just funny that people go to places like this to whine and complain about stuff they don't like.  Why ever bother to create an account, then comment?

If you are referring to my reseller comment, then you misunderstand where I'm coming from.  Resellers have their place, and I have nothing against it.  It's some of the shady practices that are employed by some people that piss me off.  Other than that, resell away.  If it wasn't for resellers, a lot of these sets would barely even exist and have no chance of being acquired.  Don't read too much into man.

I look at this thing and it just reminds of why I hate Legos.  What a crazy design and I don't even remember them ever having something like this on the moon?  A kid would never build this, it isn't realistic.

I bought one for my personal collection. I think it's a nice set.

There needs to be a zero option for the poll so I can click it.

Just award yourself a smug face smiley instead while you think of those poor 10 people that have more than 50!

Maybe they owned 50 sets but already made profits during the early shortage and the "there will only be one production run" trivia...

Meanwhile, back in Europe, ExoSuit currently has 612 units by 148 vendors with a starting price of 31 euros. Average sales per month since January are 10 units.

Doing the maths that works out at another 5.5 years of stock assuming no one lists more items and the rate of sales remains constant.

Even having it appear in Rogue One won´t be enough to liquidate those stocks but Ecto-1 is not far behind.

Sold my last one today for buy-in. Tired of waiting it to appreciate. 

Will spend the 35 euro on something better. Thinking about a dozen chima fire bikes.

The buyer was probably on day leave from a mental care unit, I mean a valued customer.

Hmmmm .... and yesterday amazon had a 3P listing (in the US) selling these for 25% off RRP. Didn't dare to post it as a deal on this site

How the heck is this back in-stock at Amazon (for sale by Amazon)? ?

if amazon found old - new stock in a warehouse... forget it.  Cool set but everything is going against it ever appreciating,

Likely 3PS inventory that Amazon took over. Interestingly enough, the Amazon.com listing does not have the Buy Box, at least not when I looked at it, even though the Amazon listing is cheaper than the Buy Box listing.

Just checking in to see if the HODL has proven right or wrong at this point.
