I have been following 8547 over the last few months. It has been sold out at Lego LEGO Shop at Home for a few months now so I believe it is done but not officially retired as the new MindStorm is coming out soon and Lego is no longer producing the set (i assume). You can't get it at Target, WalMart, TRU, or Amazon. Trades on ebay have been occurring over the last few months for between $375 to $425. $279.99 is the MRP. Yesterday afternoon, I noticed at least 20+ available on Amazon for $279.99 free shipping. By the time I placed my order, they were all sold out. Would have been a decent profit immediately had I been able to get any. Do you all think that when the new mindstorm is released, this will continue to appreciate or will it drop in value and if so how low?
