Lego Technic - 41999
Discussion
I'v just found out late Leeds Manchester and Shefield all got there LAST delivery yesterday and i'v just telephoned all three and ALL SOLD OUT............! But eBay is flooded with them I can't see the prices holding as I'm sure some will give in just to get some money back.! At least I got two from Leeds a couple of weeks back and that was just calling in by chance.....!

I take it you're holding on to both then Craig? 
Wahooooooo!
I have probably bought the last one in any shop anywhere.
Rang MK first thing on Thursday after just missing out there on Wednesday and asked it any had not been taken.........
And one hadn't! So it got my name on it and now it is in my hot sticky hands!!!!
How lucky am I after have two bits of bad luck (one of which was falling out of my shed!)

Colleague of mine is a huge Lego fan. Bought one of these to build but then saw the prices and decided to sell it to fund his obsession! He's definitely a builder and not a collector. The guy that bought it on ebay is betting on these kits increasing in value. He appears to have bought over 50 kits so far! Spending up to £370 on them. He definitely thinks the price is only going to go one way one them.

If its the bloke in Coventry he has well over 100 kits now. He also has a significant number of campers &r2d2 models. £30k on Lego is a big investment but its still a better return than the bank. Me, I built 1 sold 1 and have a couple stashed for a rainy day (new engine for the tvr fund!)Whilst I've got nothing against anyone making a few quid, it's flaming annoying that for those of us who really wanted one to build and missed out (was on holiday when they released 
), that there's people out there hoarding them.
Maybe I'm just jealous that I don't have a dozen UCS Millenium Falcon's sat in the loft!
If anyone changes their mind and has a spare - I'll happily relieve them of it

Unrelated to this thread... The description of your Tamora sounds amazing. I'd like to get a Tuscan and do a similar amount of work. Need to wait until I buy a proper house and stop living in a flat.

Sounds like the same guy. Reed's carpets.
Maybe it's not an investment, maybe he just really really wants a particular license plate number and he is frantically opening all these kits!
Yep, thats the chap, I dropped mine off to him the other week. As we were chatting a Parcel Farce van rolled up chocked full of boxes for him. Maybe it's not an investment, maybe he just really really wants a particular license plate number and he is frantically opening all these kits!

I dealt with the same guy last week and he had around 260 at that point, which is more than 1% of the entire global stock and about 6.5% of the european stock. Said it was his "swimming pool fund", better than gold...Maybe it's not an investment, maybe he just really really wants a particular license plate number and he is frantically opening all these kits!
