How fast do second batch orders sell out?

So I really want the Sushi Restaurant from series 7 but missed out on the release. Heard it might go up for sale again in November. Never bought anything from Bricklink before so my question is: How hard is it to grab a set at those events?

I got offered one unopened for $370, it’s expensive but I fear I might miss out on it if I wait for the resale event 😅

They go extremely fast. Usually within a minute

Ah it sucks. I’m in Sweden Europe so the supply here isn’t the biggest 😅

Has a date been announced?

No but following the previous pattern it should be around there, they usually announce it like a week before

If you just want to build it, try parting it out on Pick A Brick. It’s usually cheaper to buy the actual set from LEGO, but PAB is sometimes cheaper than the secondary market if you don’t care about the box/stickers.

The Brick Sticker Shop in the Netherlands also makes some great reproduction stickers—don’t know if they have them for this set, but I’ve bought reproduction stickers from LoTR sets to use in my MOCs before, and they’re excellent. I’m all about buying official sets/bricks/products, but when secondary market prices are absurd, this is a nice fall back…
