LEGO BTS Dynamite set sells out in record time, and scalpers are making bank

March 1, 2023 | 12

In perhaps the least surprising news today, it took almost no time for the LEGO BTS Dynamite set to sell out in record time in North America.

Following the launch of all the new LEGO’s March 2023 sets which included the highly anticipated 21339 BTS Dynamite, it took less than 30 minutes from the product page going up (which had some issues initially) for the set to go on backorder.

It’s still available to order in the UK, Europe and funnily enough in South Korea.

Despite a purchase limit of 1, the North American BTS Army showed up in full force to back their favourite KPOP sensations.

Right now, the backorder time has slipped to 60 days, and for fans that missed out, don’t dismay as LEGO will continue to keep restocking the set, over and over again.

It will just be a bit of a wait OR you could try your luck at your nearest LEGO Store.

Despite not being particularly targeted at seasoned LEGO fans (read my review), the LEGO Idea set which features minifigure renditions of BTS bandmembers J-Hope, Jimin, Jin, RM, Jung Kook, Suga and V proved to be incredibly popular, at least in North America.

Predictably, scalers and resellers are having a field day with this. As you can see from these sold listings (so yes, someone has paid for it), the set is already fetching up to double its RRP of US$99.99 on eBay, and I guess once store stock runs out, I can see this trend continuing until the next restock.

Stay classy, LEGO Entrepreneurs.

This has to be one of the least surprising things, given the passion and zeal from the BTS Army, and I hope that actual BTS fans were actually able to get their hands on the set.
