I'd pay no more than £12 for this TBH is I was going to stockpile them. I though you quit buying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bagalux Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 (edited) I've also had my eyes on this since it was released. Stands out, reasonably priced and with a strong theme also outside of LEGO. Reckon Tabby is right though, low buy-in will be required to make any money from it Edited March 12, 2017 by bagalux Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furious_george Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Maybe. Zero exclusivity here. Every shop that sells LEGO sells the roller. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furious_george Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 I don't know. Every shop I've been to , always the roller has the least amount of boxes on the shelf and the most room. There's another set too that seems to move more than others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TabbyBoy Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Every time I pop into a UK toy shop I see shelves upon shelves full of all LEGO Batman Movie sets and, to be honest, a lot of them just aren't moving, including the Arctic Roller. Maybe it's because the movie has already left most UK cinemas and is already being forgotten? Overall, I think it's a flipping/collecting theme not an investing theme.

I thought store exclusives where always available in the LEGO Stores, and only recently pulled? I feel like this is just a return to the way it was. But maybe not?Still don't think it will make a difference though. There are only 130 LEGO Stores worldwide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC the big box stores were complaining about exclusivity of the sets so in 2016 they stopped selling those in LEGO stores. Kind of stupid IMO for LEGO stores not to stock every set in catalog 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth_Raichu Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Hmm, on re-reading the article: Quote After many customer complaints, what I am hearing is that there will no longer be store exclusives and LEGO Stores will start carrying all the sets from a particular wave. This is different than what it was. No more store exclusives mean no more RE like scenario in the future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil B Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 So, from Store Exclusives + LEGO Shop at Home + LEGO B&M -> Store Exclusives + LEGO Shop at Home -> All Stores + LEGO Shop at Home + LEGO B&M 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Raichu Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 They probably just tired of hearing different complaints from different big box stores. It is easier to have all stores complain about the same things 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I think Batman-themed sets have long-ish term potential. Don't think the interest for these Batman sets will be linked to this particular movie. It's a major franchise that has existed for a long time before these sets and probably will continue to do so. There might, however, of course be a dip in interest just after the movie hype.

iahawks550 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 I think these will have a relatively short shelf life. Target will have little interest keeping these sets past Christmas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeiaOrgana Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Temporarily OOS at Target.com Did they only have a small amount available for this current sale or is the demand that high? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been going in and out of stock for the past few days. Stores rarely have it on the shelf at my local targets. The exclusivity, demand and add in the 20% discount and there goes your OOS.

LeiaOrgana Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 1 hour ago, TabbyBoy said: £16 at Tesco if you buy 3 ;-) But who needs 3 of the same, TabbyBoy? In my area the stores always have at least 1 or 2 on the shelves, some 4 or 5. I compared the area inventory from the day the sale started to present and it's definitely selling. Compared it to 76060 Dr Strange which is in the 10-11 quantity in most stores and it doesn't move. Barely 1 or 2 sets in a couple of the stores.
