brickvoyeur Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 The climb is already starting on this guy. Current Prime price of $35 is already 5x my buy in. How high will this dragon fly? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zskid00 Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 I did buy my fair share of these, but am surprised to see it jump out of the gate. It's retirement didn't surprise anybody and it was constantly available for 35-40% off. Just wait until Toy Planet drops his pallet on FBA and anchors the price for months to come.

Fenix_2k1 Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 I did have my eye on the stocks of these in 2 of my local TRU's to pick up on boxing day but I guess someone else in the same game got to them and cleared them out using click & collect during xmas day.

CrabslayerT Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Seen a shelf full of these at my local TRU for £18 each. Not sure if that's decent or not. 2 hours ago, Fenix_2k1 said: I did have my eye on the stocks of these in 2 of my local TRU's to pick up on boxing day but I guess someone else in the same game got to them and cleared them out using click & collect during xmas day.

Would you buy at £18?? I was all set to, yes. The way I see it, not a ridiculous amount of sellers. Most above 30 already apart from a guy on holiday who'll either see it and change it or sell out and dragons just seem to be in demand. My guess would be £50 by next Christmas if sellers are sensible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time I didn't listen to someone else's advice was the antman final battle at £14. Won't be repeating that mistake again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siddji Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 I should have bought some of these . Kicking myself for not getting more. I procrastinated till they sold out. Did manage to end up with a few for personal collection. I am kinda doubting they hitting $50 USD next Christmas as more dragons with similar price point are on the way.

I don't think outs a case of choosing one dragon over another. It's a collect them all mentality. Which is why the baby wind dragon shot up so quickly. Very happy with my queen dragons rescues which have been selling on ebay for 2x RRP already although you still have the dumb ones who come along and list lower without checking sale prices. They'll soon be gone though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villager Chris Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Had some of these this morning at £17.99 (Amazon) but seem to have gone quickly. Fire Dragons still available at £27.99 but these feel hoarded to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That might be only thing that holds water dragon back from really good highs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting to watch Amazon over the last couple of days. Restocking of recently retired sets that are selling quickly, even at RRP. A good sign.

Cheese Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Just done my usual pass on my local Lego retailers, including 2 TRU, 2 Smyths, a John Lewis, an entertainer and a Lego shop and worth regards to Elves Dragon sets, only found one bashed up lava dragon. So this is as good as done. Although there were a few surprises still left on the shelves and also in the back. Very productive trip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val-E Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 (edited) So, a swift analysis of prospects of retired Elves sets in 2017; 41172 OK 41175 Potential limited due to overhoarding. 41179 Winner 41180 saved by cheap buy-in and baby dragon 41181 Winner 41182 OK 41184 Steaming turd 41185 Steaming turd Edited December 29, 2017 by Val-E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
