nolanfan34 Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 This is one prediction many of us whiffed on for sure. Hasn't really appreciated much - basically the same price as Helm's Deep? My two are boxed away, will just keep forgetting about them and checking back later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After retirement, pessimism outweighed demand. You can only blame lowballers for this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRandall Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Stagnant prices are probably the norm for several years if not decades. Prices may climb $10-15 but are there many buyers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TabbyBoy Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 I think it's just a theme that's easily forgotten. It's just not as timeless as Harry Potter or Star Wars. I can't see ToO rising any more, sorry, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lego_Monsters Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Got rid all 5-6 of mine and lost about $10-$15 each on investment. Better off lose some now and use the cash flow to invest in other better potential sets. This ToO set is finished. Not even worth the time waiting for it for go up $20 in a few years. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazon's LEGO catalog is getting all messed up. I don't know if Amazon is doing it or if it's some dipsh*t seller. I've seen this happening with other sets, including Black Gate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To answer your question though, yes, he was trying to bait LOTR fans and he got a couple bites.

Wow that is some bad investing. How on earth did you manage that? I have a 75% profit on mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Val-E Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 (edited) Yeah, in Europe you can get between 300-330 euros on ebay and maybe more on Amazon, before fees. That´s still better than Seacow, DS, Red 5 or Tumbler and way better than any 2016 retired exclusive. Just don´t expect a quick sale. I just have 1 left now but it cost full RRP.

The sad thing is that price appreciation for this set has been basically zero. I sold my lone copy on ebay for around 320€ in early 2016. Glad I freed up the space and money back then.

Yes, supply is greater than demand, you can get the knock off version for half price and it is just following the general downward trend of prices that Lego has suffered since mid 2015.

And some of the most beautiful and complex LEGO sets haven't appreciated much at all in the same time frame.

emonster Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 This set did not perform like I expected, but I haven't written it off yet. Call me foolish, but I still believe I especially like that this page still gets alot of attention once someone posts anything on it.

biking_tiger Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 These sell at a decent clip for a set of it's size on Amazon here in the US. I don't have a lot of faith in the price, but to say "no one wants it" is just wrong. It's a classic case of oversupply--a victim of the gold rush to LEGO investing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kumas Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 I would buy one but for US price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember a while back he offered Mack money to have another user banned because that user offended him. BTW every set is different. Like I said; the too did well for me.

They sent you the link but the Too listing is not showing up in searches. Same with one of the newest AT At retired set....I have found a couple of listings in my catalog that are not showing up when searching. I even called about the AT AT listing and they fixed it and then two days later it wasn't showing up again. Currently AT AT is going for 400 bucks on the listing showing but there are about a dozen sets around 325 on the other listing that is not showing up but was the original listing. I am guessing the ToO is having the same issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
