Diabolos80 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 My local Target hasn't had a train in about 2 months. This. I can't believe these are fading away so soon. What's it been, 3 months? Was the movie really so terrible? Even so, I thought these would sell well just because they're the first western themed sets we've had in years. Guess I was wrong.

TheOrcKing Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 My Target still has these yet Walmart hasn't even stocked up on these once at all. Guess they could have room if they actually clearanced something. I'm planning on seeing these in stores for a while like the rest of the year at least.

My local Walmart is resetting their LEGO aisle and just NOW adding the Lone Ranger sets. It makes me wonder how long Walmart is planning on keeping them in stock. The rest of the year? Or maybe even beyond? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe even beyond?I can see the Lone Ranger sets sitting in stores well into next year at this point. Only four months after this one left in the year is a pretty short shelf span, plus the theme sells moderately at best in Target for me.

binici Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 What is a decent pricey value for this set? I can purchase this at Toy's R Us for $70 wish the sales they are having... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seifer Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 In Europe I still haven't seen this set go below 80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bsusanka Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 No reviews on this guy yet. Anybody have any thoughts on if it will be a good investment in the future? The movie tanked but people love trains.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Trains always do well and I like this one a lot. On the other hand, not a one has moved from any of my targets or Walmarts and the movie tanked. Best thing we can hope is that they retire the series quickly - then this set could spike in value.

lotrlegofan Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 I've picked up a couple at about a 30% discount. Lego trains are pretty good investments. As western themed trains go it is by far the coolest and most realistic set Lego has made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bernard74 Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 It is a nice looking train, and therefor I think there will be demand for it regardless of the (low) popularity of the movie. Small consolation prize for those who missed out on the Emerald Night (like me). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich B Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 It's a cool set, and it comes with lots of track which is nice since track isn't cheap. Should do okay in terms of investment even though the movie tanked, since at the end of the day it's still a Lego train, and people love Lego trains. For a steam engine though, it doesn't, and will never touch the Emerald Night IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich B Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 There is a set on the 2014 Lego set list named "Emerald Express". To my knowledge pictures have not been released yet. I am curious as to whether or not it is a train set. The name sounds like it could be a train set, but who knows............anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich B Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Brickset is showing it as set # 31015........as a huge Lego train fan, I really hope we're getting another train model next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope so too.

kvasir Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Really surprised there has been no review on this. I picked this up over the Black Friday weekend at the LEGO store at 20$ off (no discount online). I mean, even without the discount I have been counting the days to get it ever since it was out. Pros: 1. First of all, it's a train and it looks great 2. Great number of minifigures, accessories and a horse 3. Full loop of tracks, which is not often scene in train sets of late Cons: 1. The train is unpowered and it takes a bit of fiddling to fit power functions 2. no driving rods on the wheels but its possible to add them.

MartinP Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Investing in the 79111 could be a good investment if you have a good enough discount. People love trains no matter what theme they are from. The bad part is that there are no power functions that allow the train to move itself.

One can always buy a power function and put it in with the train. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keverjeroen Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 I've build this set. It is a verry simple build, great for younger children, a bit boring for adults. The train looks great, but I think it is a bit out of scale, compared with other Lego trains (or are old locomotives really that big?). I wanted to use the train on a 9v track, so I have changed the cole wagon to a 9v wagon. This looks great, but the loc is a bit long toch drive on a bumpy and curvy track. It derails verry easy. I have also flipped a new 79111 in The Netherlands, the maximum price I could get for it (during the hollidays) was Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikechw Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Just found loads of new 79111 from a Japan web site.. After shipping its around US$76, should I bite ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbacunn Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Just found loads of new 79111 from a Japan web site.. After shipping its around US$76, should I bite ?? I don't think that's a big enough discount to be worth it. As previously mentioned, lack of power function will be a turnoff long term. I I have two that I got for $50. I think they will have to sit for a while before I get a solid return. Take that money and go buy some Campers, R2D2, or Emporiums.
