Fenix_2k1 Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Even though some Ninjago sets have done me well so far I think any of this year's retirements will be a risk. With the movie sets coming out and normal Ninjago sets still being released I think there's going to be too many on shelf Ninjago sets for fans to buy for there to be much demand for the back catalogue next year. Even though it's a much nicer set I think ToA is right up there with Classic Batcave as a huge risky investment for this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigfanofnu Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Anyone find this set discounted in the US? Would really like one for personnel build. #NEVERMSRP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if it's too late to find it at discount. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steveviscious89 Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Just got one of these. I've wanted one for awhile because I like the look of it. I was afraid it was going away since the new ones are coming soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val-E Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 A nice quiet retirement with relatively short shelf life in the US. Wonder how it will do post EOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That´s like the pope saying he doesn´t believe in god. Your market is the Europea motor for Ninjago. Bad thing is everyone now knows so this set will be super hoarded.

Why should you buy a 2.028 pieces masterpiece for 200€ (160€ discounted) whether you can get a 2.295 pieces masterpiece for 170€ (120€ discounted)? If you are not a collector, why should you...? why should Timmy's parents...? There is also a 4.867 pieces masterpiece for 300€, discounted will be at 240€...

I love ToA but it has left us in a difficult time, maybe Recent events (Saturn V, UCS MF, Gingerbubble House) show a certain lack of basic logic and common sense among buyers. I agree with you that they have many good reasons not to pay even RRP for this set, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_chaos Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Just received my copy of this set that I just bought from LEGO Shop at Home (with double VIP, £15 cashback, £10 extra VIP points as a promo code hadn't worked properly, and the little Santa polybag). Seal code: 44S7. Perhaps this isn't so backlogged after all. As they have made a recent production run, and sold from it, I wouldn't count on this being available at a big discount as clearance.
