It's currently on sale on Amazon (close to 20% off) so worth checking out if it is of interest. But it is a relatively new item, right? Can't imagine it is going out all that soon.
I agree the minifigs should be selling it, however there are other more interesting sets, and it is indeed a big gray ship. :)
it is certainly not designed for kids, because when flipped upside down the entire ship flops open and all of darth maul's equipment falls out
one of the worst designed lego sets i have ever seen, fortunately i just display it with the figs
I don't buy and sell Star Wars, but if that's your thing.. I would at least pick up two of them at discount on Amazon.. they might just come in handy..
I love how LEGO constantly makes version after version of Dooku, Grievous and Darth Maul, but will not make one more set with Jengo Fett in it (sorry the recent battle pack does not count)...
Though the price wouldn't cover the dish and the mast rigging..
Which leads me to another guess -- Bespin/Cloud City or Mos Eisley will return next year in some form. Just about every other "major" scene has been produced in the last couple of years -- Death Star, Hoth, Jabba's Palace, and Endor. We're due.
I've a quick question... Brickset offers a feature in the main site for its users to track their collection, specifically sets one "Owns" and one "Wants." It also shows how many other Brickset users own or want the same set(s). I want to focus on the ""Want" sets for my question.
When trying to guess which sets are going to go up in value, how many people use this "Want" feature to judge a current set's popularity, and possible future value? And I don't mean for predicting sure things like the modular sets. I mean primarily for identifying hidden treasures, e.g. "Wow, a lot of people really want this $20 City set; maybe I ought to pick up a few, and see if it will increase substantially once it's gone."
I've used it off and on, with some hits & misses, but it did help me see that Ninjago was going to be a good buy. Some of the drawbacks are:
1) using data from a very dedicated population (Brickset users) and trying to extrapolate how the general population feels about a set;
2) interpreting the info too early in a set's distribution life, and getting skewed data because everyone is excited by a new set, but once it's released the excitement wanes;
3) giving proper weight to the "Wants" based on a theme's popularity -- 500 Wants for a set in an extremely popular theme do not mean as much as 500 Wants on a set in a seemingly lukewarm theme.
Anyway ... thoughts?
I've been poring over the sets and I'm going to be grabbing at least two of each as and when funds will allow. They are DEFINITELY sets that I want for myself, for display purposes (by which I mean play with like a 10 year old), being a massive Marvel freak.
Took me a while to notice the Iron Man minifigures are different too. I previously thought them to be the same but now that I see they're both unique my faith has been bolstered.
I've been stacking up the cash in preparation for May 16th, which is infact my mother's birthday. Good thing she loves the Avengers because I'll probably have nothing to give her besides a Hulk minifig...
:D
Hope your right about the Ninjago dragons - already got a stash of 2509 that Tesco clearanced at 60% off ready to sell at Xmas, and l just found half a dozen 2260, albeit at rrp, in local toyshop.
1) PotC is licensed, which means it costs Lego more.
2) The movie came out roughly a year ago.
3) LotR (another licensed theme) is coming out soon.
I just don't see PotC hanging on much longer. JMO.
What do you think?
Thanks
Bernie
:P
Hurrah!
;-)
Thanks!
