January 18, 201510 yr It was in stock on Jan 22 yesterday, no? Or that counts as poof? it went oos last night.
January 20, 201510 yr # of amazon sellers decreasing finally... down to 198 from 226 ... lets see how fast this comes down to 150; 100 and 50. then the price appreciation will happen.
January 21, 201510 yr I'm going to start listing these as $88 on ebay. Wait until October 21 to list them though.
January 21, 201510 yr Two on the shelf at a local Walmart just last week. Went back yesterday and poof. I probably should have bought these at $28 all day long from Amazon for the 52 weeks they had it on sale.

Target with the 5% redcard...but I guess you may not get taxed via Amazon, depending where you are. I put in 3 orders of 8 during that time. Glad I did!
January 22, 201510 yr Dont understand it, so ugly. Lets see how the ecto will perform Ugly is in the eye of the beholder! And ugly doesn't stop people from buying. I think somewhere around 80-100 shipped by Christmas is totally reasonable.
January 22, 201510 yr Dont understand it, so ugly. Lets see how the ecto will perform This set will do well because of the property and minifigures. People won't care that the car is a bit off model because it's an official LEGO set with the Back to the Future name on it. I think it would perform even better if the Delorean had a more appealing design, but it should do just fine. I agree that Ecto-1 will outperform it in the long run.
January 22, 201510 yr I picked up a few of these when the local lego store had them on sale for $28 (+ flower cart). Generally when things are on sale at this stores its a good indication that the end is near, the other store close by never even bothers to tag sale items. overall the ecto-1 is a better model, and in the long run will see better returns. but with the hype of the new movie, its hard to say when it will EOL. I suspect the delorean will have a better ROI over the next year.

Good start for this. Would be really cool to see this one take off despite being massively hoarded.

January 26, 201510 yr well, at least the number of sellers of delorean is less than number of sellers of RIs... What would you expect? RI is hoarded en masse.
January 26, 201510 yr well, at least the number of sellers of delorean is less than number of sellers of RIs... last 2 weeks brought it down significantly. i am really really surprised at how fast "price" rose and the number of sellers declined. they were @ 246 if i remember correctly.
January 26, 201510 yr Is there an observable uptick in sellers when a set goes EOL? As in those who were waiting for post-retirement prices?
January 26, 201510 yr Is there an observable uptick in sellers when a set goes EOL? As in those who were waiting for post-retirement prices? I think there was an uptick for SSD, but it could also be additional sellers realizing that it is going and being able to get a hold of leftovers once available stock dried up
January 27, 201510 yr How about a follow-up Alex P. Keaton set to compliment Michael J. Fox's work in BTTF? Honestly, show me that smile again. Don't waste another.... minute on your cryin'. We're nowhere near the end. The best is ready to BEGIN...

February 4, 201510 yr People who didn't buy this for investment were shortsighted This set goes to $80 by Christmas maybe even $100...$125-150 by Christmas 2016. Easy money for those who bought for under $30 ???? I only have about 25 and should have doubled up.
