Lego Millenium Falcon crazy prices !

[nick heppinstall]

Well I just happen to have one of these sat in my Mums loft still sealed in its Lego shipping box. Never had a chance to build it. Just happened to be browsing ebay :

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LEGO-Star-Wars-10179-UCS...

Keep or sell ?

Not cause me any hastle to hang onto it but could they possible go up any more in value ! ?

Are people MAD !! ?

That will only get more expensive imo. If you don't need the cash hang on to it. Awesome thing, that!

I've got one of these, boxed, if you want to swap for something more manageable?

I asked my girlfriend for this for Christmas and got something I didn't want instead, so now I am left with the choice of dig deep, or go without. Might have to see if I get a christmas bonus this year...

If you do decide to sell it, can you pm me for a heads up. Thanks.

It's big - but doesn't have the same appeal as the UCS Falcon and I can't see it fetching as much in future.

Lucky, lucky chap having a new sealed one! £1400 is a real chancers price though, they tend to go for about £800-£850 (which is still a great return on the original price) for a new, boxed one.

Our house is slowly becoming over-run with the stuff... for my son obviously

I ummed and arrred about getting the millennium falcon, by the time I decided to get one they stopped selling them.

I'm still tempted to get one but £1400 is crazy money!

I have loads of it. All Star Wars ( but with a few choice Technic sets ) and all still in the Lego shipping boxes. Whenever I see a set I fancy I buy it ( about 1 set every month or 2 ) with the intention of eventually building it. I somehow never find the time. Then 6 years ago I had a little girl so have even less time.

She has no interest in Lego but I kept buying the stuff lol !!! It's mounting up. I probably have around 120-150 sets. Good job my Mum has a big loft !

Not really paid much interest in the prices but the Falcon was a bit of an eye opener. I guess some of the older stuff maybe worth a few quid as well.

My son (6) is Lego Star Wars/Indiana Jones/Harry Potter mad. Have spent hundreds on the stuff in the last few years but I enjoy getting hold of the older stuff which is no longer in production (just bought 3 Indiana Jones sets in this regard).

Let me know if you ever fancy getting rid of any of it
