Sprocket77 Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 There was a lot of talk recently on the retirement speculation tread of sets people hate. Some because they just wouldn't go away, like the Pet Shop or T1 VW Camper Van, others because they were over produced like the Exo-Suit, some others like Arkham Asylum for not living up to people's expectations. Just wondering what sets people here really dislike, whether as an investment or as a set they built. My personal one is the very first set I bought as an investment, 4 x Superman: Black Zero Escape. They were 55% off and already retired and I thought with the minifigures it had that it would be a surefire winner, instead I'm selling it for a few quids profit, nowhere near RRP just to get rid of them. I know I could wait for a few years and see how it does, but I just want it off my shelves, so the money can go somewhere else, with a bit more potential.

GiliusThunderhead Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Every set that i missed because I was too busy horsing around in my youth. Its a long long list . Ignoring those I'd go with SW. Awesome set IMO but seems like everyone else's too. And with the backlash of WV TS re-release I can see this one sticking around at least another season. Although saying that I'd probably still buy this one again so its a love to hate, but don't learn my lesson from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaisonline Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 I have 2 oldies. 10196 GC and 10179 MF by far. I love the build and design of each. However, they are fragile, some elements are hard to replace (don't even want to think about it), relocating the sets are challenging (10179 weighs 22lbs) w/o elements falling or messing up the rotating mechanics (10196) and dusting stinks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Migration Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 I tend to hate any set I'm pulling out of a bulk lot, at least until I sell them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpinemaps Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Setting aside the sets missed out on, I'm going to go out on a limb and say 3065 Olivia's Tree House. That thing would come in and out of stock on sale for about a month or two, and everytime it came in, it'd be OOS before I could buy it. So annoying!
