this one is real huge set... poison the star war fans  brows.gif  brows.gif

Last time retail 1300 to 1400, cannot recall. Good set la, but better not display both ship combined together. The black bar can bend in long term.

Still got a little flaw in it. But nice set la. Haha.

i'm one of those hoping that TLG would make a re-issue of this set... it's huge... and cost a bomb just to ship over..  sweat.gif

Yea, large set hardly got reissue, example, it took so many years to reissue a Sandcrawler.

QUOTE(callhf121 @ Mar 16 2014, 11:54 PM)
I also waiting for the reissue

Definitely got improvement if reissue, current one, Clone Wars version of AT-TE cannot fit nicely, top mounted cannon need move sideway.

For Modulars or UCS sets, chasing the few previous current sets; after a while its not worth it to chase the old.  The prices are over-aggregated and most of the time over inflated.  Besides being a good "Show and Tell" piece for elite few, for most of us is very hard to justify the cost to acquire it.

Anyway, with the re-released versions or new sets is always much improved with more details.  Might as well shoot for those current new sets.  Just have to be patient, scout around and see what comes along.

I could not agree more. nod.gif Retired sets are gone, and chasing them will cost AFOLs a bomb... but they will always be some willing buyers who are completist and willing to pay those inflated prices. It comes down to simple economics of demand and supply.

When it comes to Lego re-releasing retired sets, I don't think they have ever done so or ever will (but I stand to be corrected). From a business point of view, they can sell more sets if they release a new and improved version/design, like what happened with some of the Star Wars vehicles and spaceships (X-Wing, Falcon and now Sandcrawler). If they re-released the exact same 7191 UCS X-wing or 10144 Sandcrawler, the thousands who already have them won't be buying the same set again. Yes, there will be many new AFOLs who missed the original release and will want these sets, but at the same time a new design will be more sellable to both old and new AFOLs.

As for non-licensed exclusives like modulars, trains, ships, etc... the same logic applies, Lego is unlikely to release an old design that has already sold thousands. In fact, the possibilities are endless here as they are not bound by an actual movie or product, and there is so much more new creations they can release and sell compared to a re-issued Green Grocer, Emerald Night, Imperial Flagship or Taj Mahal. But we AFOLs who missed out on some of these retiured iconic sets and are not willing to splash the cash for them in the inflated resale market, can still wish... maybe Lego will prove me wrong and make my dreams come true someday. rclxm9.gif

unlike modular, have seen TLG re-issue a number of SW sets... it's just a matter of time... there are lots of other interesting sets to look for, instead of chasing retired sets...  icon_rolleyes.gif

then it raise a questions why would some companies took the risk to bring in long retired stuffs. where many bulk importers know well enough of the challenges and risks especially including cost. why they can get away making good money with sold outs and their premise packed during weekend with curious buyers?

I too wonder which pirate ship was re-released - got set number? Was it in a different packaging to justify the Legends branding and higher price? I searched brickset but could not find anything related to Legends other than Legends of Chima. smile.gif

6268 is a small set, only 178 pieces and USD40 when it was released. At RM1K the 'inflasi' is amazing! rclxub.gif
