I think $350 is a safe estimate.You're right on that...I didn't think it had that many...
A less popular ip though...so it wouldn't sell if they pushed it higher.
Not sure the same is true about the castle set.
The lego battle of hoth set (oh yes...it will be mine...) is $300 for 2144 pieces.
I would expect more along those lines for Cindy
The Lego Battle of Hoth is a set that has been universally derided for its non-value.
Regardless, again, sources speculate $300-$350. Only current way to get Minnie in her classic dress, Mickey in his tails and Tink.
I think $350 is a safe estimate.
Here's an early release of information...
http://www.brothers-brick.com/2016/07/11/lego-unveils-71040-the-disney-castle-news/
4080 pieces, September 1st. As expected, $350.
Right that's me in Lego store with my AP 10% discount but mmm slight issue with getting it home on the plane... Might need it's own ticket... Something to do on overnight international flight.
If you want the set box to be likely creased, crushed and generally beat up, Amazon is the way to go.
For those interested in getting it, shop.lego.com is probably your best bet (when it's released in Sept).
I respect your right to be confrontational, and know that it's kind your MO around here. I actually like a lot of your posts. They can be really funny and useful.
That being said, you've been all over the map in this thread with your non-knowledge of the subject matter, and you're also projecting your values onto others. I know that there are serious collectors here, and I feel they would like to be educated about stuff by those that do have the knowledge.
So take that as constructive criticism. It's not meant to be hurtful in any way, just honest.
Part of what drives a lot of those Star Wars sets up is the minifig count. The Assault on Hoth has 14 of them. The last Death Star had 24 and the Ewok Village has 16. Cinderella Castle appears to have 5, 7 if you count the knights that are part of the decor in the castle. That will affect the pricing more than you might realize. It's part of why City sets are usually over 10 cents a brick, where the Creator sets are usually right at or under 10 cents a brick.
$350 seems about right to me for this set, and the places I have seen online seem to point to that as the price. But I guess time will tell. At any rate, I think this looks like a great set. The detail in the castle looks great and I like that Minnie is in her traditional red dress instead of the pink Mickey Mouse Clubhouse dress. I also like that Tink is a minifig not a mini doll.
I'll look forward to seeing the photos from you folks when you get the sets built and on display. Have fun!
Don't you have 60 hours to kill ?
