comicblast Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 I think it will do really well. I thought it was going to do well before it was 50% off, even if you had bought it at full retail, you still would have made at least a solid $100+ before fees. Though the recent craze could affect its performance, the B-Wing will most likely be a $300 set soon after EOL. I am hoping it is something like the Imperial Shuttle or Maersk Train in performance, and I think it might, especially once builders start to realize what a beauty the build is!!

cflannagan Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Do me a favor and not be so harsh on the newer members.......give people some time to figure out the forums, point them in the right direction. Not everything has to be an argument Agreed. I seem to remember a time (and honestly it wasn't even that long time ago) when there was no one who made backhanded, pointed comments at others and it seemed like such a nice place to hang out, but as often is the case in any other forums out there, things like that could change in a hurry with a few sour apples coming into the picture. Take it easy on the newer members, especially on forums like those. It's *not* like we have hundreds of new posts coming in daily to a point where it's an unmanageable mess.

I definitely noticed on this forum theres a more respectful theme to this forum. It's also forget that this forum has 13 y/o's buying 5 dollar sets w/ their 3 month saved up money and 28 y/o's like myself w/ a medical degree for the same cause on here.

Not everything has to be an argument Maybe members need to do Forum a favor and check before posting also? the guy has 64 posts, I am sure he checked forums if he managed to write 64 posts and i am sure he was on different forums before (likely) and if everyone would open a new thread for everything this would get out of hand instantly. Its something if you have 2 posts and open a new thread but 64? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let the moderators do the police work - if they think things are out of hand, they'll handle it in their own way, it's not your job to pounce on other members, especially when it's not really warranted for (like I said, it's not like things are even getting out of hand in the first place).

Ed Mack Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 A proper way to phase an answer to the OP's question would be to say..."Yes...I think it's a good/bad investment. By the way, for future reference, just do a quick search. There are multiple threads on this topic...Thanks." Simple. Polite. To the point. Have a nice day. :bug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeur86 Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 This set is going to be a good investment even if purchasing at MSRP. This is a really cool display set! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fcbarcelona101 Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 This set is going to be a good investment even if purchasing at MSRP. This is a really cool display set! I agree. Usually really good investments are good even if purchased at MSRP. However, I would still recommend waiting for a discount since it should still be a while before it retires.

terrymc4677 Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 while hunting for monster fighters clearance a few weeks ago I came across a sopwith camel sitting by his lonesome on a walmart shelf. seals were intact, and the box was in good shape, so I bought it because I don't have any of these yet. I paid msrp($100), but feel confident it will do well a few years down the road. I am glad I bought it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grolim Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Money in the bank this one. I predict a nice solid return and have bought a couple. Hopefully it truly is EOL and we can see that bear out soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CNH1974 Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 It seems this set is hard to find outside of Europe. Being completely nosey, where in NZ are you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exciter1 Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 The Lego Sopwith Camel just dropped a few bucks on Amazon.com, down to $95.90. This is the first time I've seen Amazon discount the Camel in many months. I've been watching it every day. Still not enough for me to bite, but we'll see if it drops a little more. I have one so far I purchased with a $20 off coupon at the Lego Store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diabolos80 Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 I think the sopwith will still be around in November, so I'm looking forward to buying a couple on black friday. I don't think we'll see any significant discounts on it before then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c666187 Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Now only $88.29 at amazon.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quacs Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Third party fulfilled by Amazon has it at $87.40. Box with slight wear and one small crease, but free shipping and 13% off made me a buyer. Still two left in case anyone is interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willy431 Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Anybody notice the pricing---I noticed the last few semi-sales AMZN had--they lowered the price to EXACTLY .10 cents per piece. They did that with a few ninjago and a couple chima recently. Camel is now 88.29 for 883 pieces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
