Guest TabbyBoy Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 17 minutes ago, JRandall said: I agree it's incredible, but initially the run was supposed to be limited, and it's come back in stock 3 or 4 times now, and after double VIP I thought it was done for the year. With this type of demand they're probably already revving up the factories. They've had plenty of time to turbocharge production of 21309, but they also have to focus on the new 2018 rehashes sets. To be honest, I've never seen such demand for a set in the 6 years that I've been out of my dark age. When I'm ready to sell, I'll be bundling each one with a 21312 ;-) I bet the 21309 designer is laughing all the way down the drive to his Lambourghini!

And how do you explain the fact, that it can be backordered since several days at S&H ??? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only LEGO can explain what they are doing. Could it be the last production run and EOL early in the New Year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TabbyBoy Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 If 500,000 of these sets have been produced and 10,000,000 Worldwide want one, do the math ;-) I heard that the VW T1 was the first set to reach 1 Million copies, can anybody confirm?

Surely that should concern you. A very popular set, which is just not being retired as a result. If the Saturn V is as popular, wouldn't it also have a 10 year shelf life? If the Saturn V doesn't retire for 5 years even, you'd be better off investing in Nexo sets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRandall Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Remember LEGO did say they would most likely continue producing the set because of the demand. https://ideas.lego.com/blogs/a4ae09b6-0d4c-4307-9da8-3ee9f3d368d6/post/1c30b0cb-0ac3-48f0-a1e3-a6ff636b71f3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S5 is still around because limit is 1 and they are not selling as fast as before on the secondary market. It´s a classic balancing of supply and demand. Prices on ebay are now down to barely above RRP so it seems there won´t be a Xmas boost for this set or indeed for Women of Nasa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TabbyBoy Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 The party may well be at an end for now, but the window for buyers wanting to return these sets to resellers certainly isn't! I'm waiting for the real party, I'm in no rush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaylay Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Well it is limit one. For me and suspect others, this set is going into cold storage until the time is right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think lego will keep this one out there a while though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
