DrJB Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 I'm one of those ... simply afraid to leave my fingerprints on the delicate parts ... and soil the set for ever. So, be brave, come forward and acknowledge it is on a shelf, protected from dust and light .... etc. Quote
SuperCAD Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 One to play with, two in the box. There was no way I was going to buy one and not put it together. Quote
DrJB Posted September 18, 2013 Author Posted September 18, 2013 One to play with, two in the box. There was no way I was going to buy one and not put it together. What if, one of those non-open sets has License Plate 00001 of 20000? I bet a large fraction of those sets will remain sealed for a long long time ... Quote
lukeandahalf Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 @superCAD if only I had your Technic budget! Quote
Saberwing40k Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 I opened mine. And I'm going to mix it in with my collection, just like every other set I've ever gotten. I see no point in just leaving something on a shelf, and not using it. And I can still sell it, if I ever so desire. Quote
SuperCAD Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 What if, one of those non-open sets has License Plate 00001 of 20000? I bet a large fraction of those sets will remain sealed for a long long time ... Especially if it's true that someone bought 200 of them. It's going to be a long time before he can unload all of them. @superCAD if only I had your Technic budget! The power of plastic, my friend. Now I have to find a way to pay the bill and avoid the interest. Quote
Rishab N Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 I have mine but I simply don't have time to open it yet Quote
The_Skirrid Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 I'd be ashamed to admit to having bought more than two. The two per customer limit seemed fair and sensible. Bypassing it doesn't. Quote
SuperCAD Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 I'm not ashamed at all. I wasn't even aware that there was a limit until I viewed the threads on this site. At least I'm not trying to get rich by selling them on evil-bay. Quote
Lipko Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 Congrats people for getting that many of this limited set out of the life-circle. Quote
FuzzyBallz Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 I opened that baby the moment I received it and built it right away, and went into service harassing my cats. Quote
Simon8MR Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 I opened and built mine, and stickered it up as well. The way I see it, you want to enjoy the set, not hoard it away to profit off it later. Although that said I'm sure it will appreciate in value being a limited run regardless of weather it has been opened or not. Quote
Bricktrain Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 I would like to open mine but having to work away for a few months so I have to wait until I get home to open it. I would really like 8285 for a number. Quote
Waterkamp Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 The power of plastic, my friend. you use plastic to buy plastic. sorry couldn't help it mine is still sealed, couldn't find the time to build it. and I want to enjoy and savour when building it Quote
JunkstyleGio Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 Got mine, opened it immediately, built it, stickered it, enjoyed it, played with it.... Quote
jantjeuh Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 Congrats people for getting that many of this limited set out of the life-circle. Yep, really selfish. Quote
JM1971 Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 Parts were missing on a few sets, collectors should do a count before shelving. How long does lego last and will it be worth a lot in years to come? Quote
Lakop Posted September 19, 2013 Posted September 19, 2013 I don't see how anyone could buy the set and not open it as soon as you got it home. To those who did not open it because of work or some other distraction, open it at Christmas and enjoy. H Quote
aol000xw Posted September 20, 2013 Posted September 20, 2013 One open, built and recycled, and one sealed... until I need the parts. Quote
Lakop Posted September 20, 2013 Posted September 20, 2013 Yes. I wish I had one to open. We can but dream. H Quote
Kronos Posted September 20, 2013 Posted September 20, 2013 Yes. I wish I had one to open. We can but dream. H Same here. Quote
jantjeuh Posted September 20, 2013 Posted September 20, 2013 *Raises hand Anyway, I hope Lego will produce some more soon, I'm not going to pay these #$@#$@ who are hoarding this set. Quote
CisFran Posted September 20, 2013 Posted September 20, 2013 I opened mine only to check the plate number. Maybe I'll built it this christmas Quote
Tadej Posted September 20, 2013 Posted September 20, 2013 People who bought more than one and are not ashamed to admit it have no conscience. I certainly wouldn't brag about robbing someone else of this set Quote
