staggs9696 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 I don't think those few bucks would make up for the 1000€+ forth and back to Europe :/ Good luck explaining to the airport security why you can't let go of your case too [Take a middle eastern accent to sound like a prince] : "I can't sir, the lego within is too precious!"

Sandwraith Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 This set was not even on my radar until popping into this thread, this is why these forums and it's members bringing this stuff to light is invaluable! These are currently being clearanced at TRU Canada right now AND qualify for a BOGO. Will definitely swipe the few I've seen lingering locally. WM.ca still has stock of them and probably some local Canadian Tires for any interested Canadians. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staggs9696 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Wish I was in Canada right now... I've been to 12 different stores this morning because our winter sales started today, and couldn't find a single one of these. I can still get 1 off our equivalent of Craigslist for 25,5€, but It's quite a bummer... I'm going to check stores further away from the city this afternoon, but I'm stuck at home right now waiting for a delivery... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zskid00 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 I think this was marked as a retired product in the EU and red sold out status in the US which was a pretty strong sign it was done. I did buy some more last month but I should have bought all of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staggs9696 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Yeah, it's been retired in EU for a few months now I believe. Same for the Milano, same for the X-Men vs. The sentinel set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redcell Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 I got a bunch of these when they first sold out, but am now regretting passing on the 40 or so that I saw at B&N during the black Friday weekend BOGO sale. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staggs9696 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 I'm still super jealous that you get BOGO sales on Lego... In France that type of promotion is extremely rare, most of the time it's BTGO (2+1 as they call it) and that's mainly reserved to food and body care products. Sometime we'll see it on clothes, but that's it. But hey, a BOGO is the same as a -50% if you really think about it so... Yeah We do get a lot of those during the sale seasons.

Taking off, so you might want to pick up any scragglers you see. I saw several the other day at $20-$22 I probably should have nabbed. I think you all are seeing one of the duplicate listings on Amazon (e.g. http://www.amazon.com/Superheroes-Marvels-Ant-man-76039-Building/dp/B00SDTX3UY). The original listing: http://www.amazon.com/LEGO-Superheroes-Marvels-Ant-Man-Building/dp/B00UYNAGTI Prime sellers starting at $32.75 in the US. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justapilgrim Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Even at $32 it's up 50-60% in a few monrhs, more if you got at discount Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thoroakenfelder Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 I remember that this was hard to find right after it came out. I don't think it got many refreshes. I kept passing on piles of this set at Targets before Christmas, and now I regret that I can't find them at the same stores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ISO8T0 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 I stopped by a WM and Target last night to check for stragglers and it still looks like a bomb went off on the lego aisles. No restock or tidying up present. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't even get the original listing to come up in search at all, either through Amazon, or through the seller central. Like if you take the heading for the original listing, and put it in search, only the duplicate comes back as a result. So I don't know how people will find the $32 one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ISO8T0 Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 That is strange. It does appear in the "Customers Who Bought This Item Also Bought" area below the $51 bb listing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lego Collector 777 Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 found some ant man sets at $28.23 (after taxes) . Should I buy them all at that price? Would it be worth it if I bought them at those prices for an investment in the next year or so? and then sell them online?? any thoughts or opinions on this?

Certainly can't hurt to have a couple even at full retail price. Got most of mine at %20 off or greater, but if it really takes off even full retail price will look like a deal.

If they don't make a minifigure scale Antman in the Civil War wave, the minifigures alone will be worth $40+. This is one of the best Marvel sets ever made and it had a very short production run.

Sozial Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Well well I can get some from a local retailer here, but I wanted to stay away from the Super Heroes line.. I am afraid it will become a next 6862 or 76000..:) at least in europe. I have plenty of both here :/ And I think the movie sucked! But that does not really matter! any thoughts for the european market? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that does not really matter! any thoughts for the european market? Agree it’s another 76000. Better to have bought at a discount. Overshadowed by other sets and little demand for it in the UK, but it’ll do okay, eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exciter1 Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Here we go, undercutters, sipping their juice, driving down the price. Just match lowest price, it ain't that hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
