Back from the UK and picked up quite a few bits that have been waiting for me at my address.

I was lucky to get one when they went on sale. It's now worth 4 times what it cost here in Holland.

I also have an unopened unimog which seems to be appreciating too.

There was a bloke in the UK buying loads of these up, When they first sold out, sold him some of mine for £350 a set. they don't seem to be making that much now so not sure they were a wise investment in 'bulk'

I did the same, bought one for retail and sold it just before christmas for 350.

Are there any more ltd edition sets up and coming?

Do you mind me asking how much that little lot set you back?

Including (expensive) delivery, £250.

Excellent, that looks like an absolute bargain! Good on ya'.

According to this the WallE was limited to 150 sets. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/D23-2015-Disney-LEGO-WAL...

I think it's the signed ones that are limited I can't see Lego going to the effort of producing a set and only producing 150 of them.

That's just for the signed ones. Standard WallE will be run in much larger numbers - Russ will know

D23 is a recent expo. I think they did the official reveal of Wall-e there, so probably there to give a brief talk and promote the model.

It should be available all over the place 1st of September I believe.

I'm a big fan of Lego but paying for the autograph of one of the set designers? That's not normal. Weirdos.

Russ, was there some talk a while ago about a WALL-E group buy....? Something popped up in my Facebook feed today suggesting it is released on 1st September.....

Paging Russ! Russ to this thread please!

10 days until release and counting!



EDIT: Just seen from the Technic group buy thread that Russ is incommunicado for a while following the birth of Russy Jr! Congratulations!

Now, there's a child who is NEVER going to lack for the latest toys!

Anyone got #10213?

I have it as a nice desk ornament, had a suspicion it would become quite collectable but far too nice to leave in the box

kapiteinlangzaam said:

10213 is already collectable with values at about double the 2010 rrp.

Really? They've got it in my local toy store

Are you sure its not 60080-1: Spaceport?

[goforbroke]

10213 was the first Lego set I bought for myself since I started getting back into it. I keep buying the sets I like, and I tell myself that they'll go up in value, but I cant see myself selling them either.

[BlueMR2]

I forgot to post that I got a few custom minifigs from Bricktastic as well.

Pretty sure it was, i was chatting to one of the staff about how much Lego has changed over the years. He used it as an example of a lot of moulded pieces. I'll be back in Monday now

Yes too right! Toys will not be in short supply in our household.....

Anyway, I have popped a quick email through to the PH Technic list for a deal on the WALL E - I am hoping this covers most of you.

[Jobbo]

Not at all connected to any e-mail but I haven't seen the RRP confirmed for Wall-E in the UK. It seems to be stated as $49.99 in the US and €49.99 in Europe but I don't think they're reliable either.

[Bungleaio]

Nice one Russy, I'll be ordering tomorrow.

Smyths show it at not available yet but listed at £39.99. It's the only price a quick Google threw up.

I figured it was probably wrong and a placeholder, in light of the group buy email

Cheers Russ - I'll be sticking an order in over the next day or two
