Im listening to npr and they are talking how this is hard to find and that people are selling it for twice the price on eBay the best part of the story was when they said that a geeky science boy or something along those lines would be interested in this set. right. sure. i've come to the conclusion this set makes adults feel good about themselves on several levels but in terms of childhood interactivity, its weak. its precipitous drop in demand portends mass returnage since the horde lost its mojo and willingness to raise the price.

montreid Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 folk with volume too. Target helped a lot of people to stock up with no limits. This will be at $35-40 shipping for awhile to churn the quick flippers out. The silver lining is for those holding -- was easy stock builder and long term ROI is excellent with a small set. Doubt a 2nd major run like the RI/Exosuit as plenty of international stock without issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be interesting to see when they release the next batch in less than a week. I think the game right now is on cleaning out sale items from Amazon/TRU than this NASA.

montreid Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 stabilized at 39.75 ... for now and close to the floor for most sellers even with no sales tax or exemptions on hand. As for production runs; not talking about original scheduled batches that's intermittent over weeks; but the adding on of additional runs beyond the initial established production run. RI and Exosuit both had added on runs beyond their initial intent. RI was scheduled right. LEGO way overproduced on the exosuit thinking the same demand as RI. With NASA WON, the demand had an initial spike isolated in the US. That along with normal sales outside US, I would doubt additional production runs will be added. There maybe additional batches already in the pipeline, but only LEGO knows the depth and frequency of those if any. For now, WON is a long time hold and will perform much like RI is now in three years at x3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can add 'Virtue Signaling' as a theme to the 'Interests' tab I predict it will make only 70% of what Saturn 5 makes after retirement.

For now, WON is a long time hold and will perform much like RI is now in three years at x3 in my opinion, it will perform between RI and Exo if there are no additional production batches/runs etc. why simply because availability of this set at target.com far out weight availability of RI. [ remember RI had a limit of 5 i believe. without more data it may mean nothing but i would have assumed it to vanish much like RI but again it didn't which means that even during this holiday season demand for WON is less than RI then btw sold my RI for 99 while got stuck with exo. we will know if there are additional batches by mid january Edited December 1, 2017 by newbie77 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waddamon Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Info above is all massive disinformation. Sorry, but no ones knows the production runs and not a soul has any idea what 3 years from now will hold. Rewind to 2013 and 2014 for some perspective. The number of listings on this set is higher than anything I can recall, its completely stupid. Today isn't like RI times, much less three years from now. The lego game these days doesn't play on a threeyear or 5 year clock anymore. Coming from a guy that was,building a 500k portfolio of plastic. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wii, Elmo, PS3, LEGO....take your pick. The resale market was very different then compared to now. Folk readily buy 1 for me buy 1 for resale these days and the market gets saturated very quickly. Back in 2013 no one thought Taj would be released again nor UCS MF either. That's a costly hold too if one held this long . You're completely correct about all this being speculation - even at 1/2 million worth. it's still speculation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
