It will be around for years as well and is heavily hoarded Out of the 15 or so "investors" that I know, none of them have Ninjago let alone this monstrosity. How do you know that it's heavily hoarded? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ciglione Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Actually, when I saw the first pictures of this set, I was like... whaaaat??? So basically, I literally cannot think of a worse Exclusive Lego set. If you know what I mean. Whatever. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lobo1969 Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 (edited) So this set is quietly on LEGO Shop at Home and in store for an extra 500VIP points (July1-14). Don't recall seeing a bonus VIP offer like this before. Confirmed for US and Canada. Edited July 5, 2016 by lobo1969 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AirborneAFOL Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Anyone else get this offer? Just got the email this morning. Runs July 1-14, in store or online. Effectively a 12.5% discount on the $199.99 set (and appears to stack on the existing 199 points you'd normally get). Not sure if this suggests they're looking to clear out stock for upcoming retirement or what - but for those of us on the fence, it may not come any cheaper than $35 in VIP points plus the July Retro Knights promo, right?

Lego Templar Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 I am on the fence...I don't have any ninjago or whatever it's called. I would strictly buy it for display purposes..(I like the design of it) What to do what to do..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is probably the best deal we can expect to see, unless the usual October double VIP also includes a decent Christmas freebie. It would have to be a real good one to exceed this deal though.

emazers Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Look, I am the first one to say get Exclusives, but this Exclusive to me could be a Dud, the only Ninjango set that i had about 50 was the 2011 Fire Temple 2507 Set, sold for $120, Toys R US had them for $90 on Black Friday a few years ago, around the Holidays they wer selling for $200-220. Still have some left will wait for Christmas to unload the rest, there had been a few others, the Ice Dragon, etc. But seeing this set being $212 with tax, I don't see this set being a $400-and up set, but to play safe I wil get 3-5 of them, and they are a very poor seller the manager at Arundel Mills, said they had at least 50-75 in the back nobody is buying. and if you noticed my picture with Santa that was me in 1954. So as a investor I would not suggest buying tons of these. Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AirborneAFOL Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Just picked one up in store. Box so badly damaged the manager agreed to let me inventory for 100% contents before buying. Then she threw in an EXTRA 500 points for box damage. So 1199 total (199 standard + 500 bonus promo + 500 damaged box). Can't complain about that! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So as a investor I would not suggest buying tons of these. Ed I love your new profile pic. Let me guess...you were asking Santa for a Lego set? I agree with your opinion on this set. Too risky in my opinion. I'll watch from the sidelines with this one. If I'm spending $200 per set it needs to be with less risk. If I'm wrong and this one explodes for some reason then oh well. Congrats to those who feel differently and bought some. edit...if Lego runs a 50% off fire sale (ala UCS B-Wing), then I'll probably buy a few.

KShine Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 A great set - but is it a great investment??? The LEGO Ninjago movie (if it actually does happen) could have a big impact on its performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
