Featured Comments

It absolutely did sell out when it first started being sold. It was impossible to find after the initial release. They had a few more production runs of it in order to meet demand. Looks like they overdid it.

These kinds of price drops on LEGOs have become more and more common since they opened their new factory and have been able to finally meet demand for sets like these. They clearly haven't figured out the right balance of supply to maintain the equilibrium of rarity that people associate with the brand.

A good example of this is the Saturn V rocket set. In the past it would have been a 1 run and done set, commanding sky high prices today. If you look back at deals posted for the set, though, you'll see that the deal prices on it have steadily gone down. Look at the number of reviews for it. It's clearly a popular set, they're just able to meet demand in a way now that we're not used to.

Actually I don't think that's true. This set has consistently been ranked pretty high in sales, and there was pretty big publicity for this set and it seemed a lot of people wanted it. I think, like you said with Ideas selling so well in prior sets and retiring after a year, that Lego simply made a lot more of these than prior Ideas sets due to the presumed demand and didn't retire it at the same time as other Ideas sets either, to take advantage of as many sales as possible. Prior Ideas sets were retired even though they were selling well only a year after release.

It never sold for $125 by a legitimate retailer. It never sold out. Are you thinking of the Saturn V set? This small set was widely available and has been since launch.

I did. I saw what you read at Amazon. I'm just telling you not to buy this set because you think it's valuable and it sold at $125. Only a moron would buy this set for $125. It has always been widely available for $25.

If I had a 5-year old girl, I'd buy this set. It's worth about $15 to $20.

Of course both you and I would not pay more than $20 for this set but morons/idiots do exist.

Except for the Adventures Time set which was half price direct from Lego for at least a month or longer.

This is a good price, but if you are looking to flip it for a profit, you'll be waiting for years to make it worth your time reselling.
