City/Town

I've been looking at this set its on sale at amazon and gains are pretty good for a newish set what do you guys thinkl

I am pretty thrilled about this set, it looks to be pretty clear cut investment winner, possessing pretty much everything needed to do very well. The set is very large with a high price tag It is very rare and exclusive and unlikely to have a another release that is similar in design Couple that with a short production cycle with limited availability and you could most likely take that to the bank.

Now at amazon.it the 60027 Monster Truck Transporter for 14,21 euro (free shipping on orders above 19 euro). Should I pull the trigger and order some? Is this a set that is appreciated highly?

(I guess having its own topic would be more simple) Do you think guys the Arctic City theme will last for a while (let's say up to 2016) or could it stop this summer ? I can have a deal on arctic base (about 36% off) so I wonder if it could be a good choice if the theme stops this summer (to resell on Xmas 2015). I'm sure it's a good investment but I would like to invest elsewhere if it'll stay available for one more year. Thanks

I have a general question about this set. I noticed that it only came out in 2014 and it is already in sold out status in Lego SAH. I thought only sets that are about to retire move to that status. I'm a little confused. Do Lego City sets retire quicker?

This little set is doing quite well right now. Wish I had more than two.

Is the 60061 Airport Firetruck on its way out? Or is it such a good seller? I haven't seen it anywhere. Not even at SaH. I really like it. So I would like to have one for myself at least.

So I was looking on the TRU page and it appears that the Ice Breaker has been removed again. Even 4204 The Mine hasn't been removed yet! Was last week's 20% off so that they could do a massive blowout of these?

One of the smaller Arctic Sets. I've been please with the whole series. I'm hoping that my next build will be The Lonely Mountain.

With the recent Shopko and Wal-Mart clearance on this set I thought I would start a topic to discuss it's investment potential. These days if a set isn't Star Wars or an exclusive then it doesn't seem to garner much interest. A lot of us have learned that completely overlooking the small to medium sized sets from less popular themes can be a huge mistake. This set is one that I feel deserves some attention. The City theme can be a tough theme to predict "winners". Police and Fire sub themes tend to be rehashed every other year. Most of those sets can be avoided for investment unless found at a steep discount. Construction sets on the other hand don't seem to be on th…

Here is The Brick Show Review.

Very interesting description mentioned here: http://www.thebrickfan.com/london-toy-fair-2015-lego-set-report/ City Square (60097)

I remember great success of previous set 3222 (limo and heli) from 2009...walmart exclusive http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_sacat=0&LH_BIN=1&_nkw=lego 3222&rt=nc&LH_ItemCondition=3&_trksid=p2045573.m1684 i think black limo would be great/better for new set...anyway ill keep an eye on this one.

Official name I am unsure of. Here you go anyway....into the danger zone.

By the way, suggested retail price is $99.99.

60107 Fire Ladder Truck - released Jan 2016 - 214 pcs, 2 minifigs, including a female firefighter. RRP US$24.99. Now (Sep 2016) discounted to $13.43 on Amazon.com (46% off). So is this the next fire truck to retire in 1 year, and triple in value the next? (ref 60061 Airport Firetruck). I'm lookin' at you exciter1 ... stocking up?... or ignoring this run-of-the-mill little fire truck?

Did Lego make a huge price increase on its 2016 sets? I was at ToysRUs today and saw this set for $70 CAD!! Now I know the weak Canadian dollar is a contributor... but $65 for only 376 pieces!!! That's getting insane!! Prisoner Island at $120 CAD for 754 pieces! If license fee was involved then I understand, but for unlicensed product, this is starting to get expensive and ultimately leads to the bubble thread on this forum.
