Ciglione Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Just got a set at Westfield London. Seal code is 49S4. Thanks. Is it safe to conclude from this that the production run was rather small? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mos_Eisley Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 My best guess: The production run = The square root of the first two digit number, added to the second number (after the letter), divided by any number of your choice, then multiplied by 1,000. I've found this to be pretty accurate. By pretty accurate, I mean give or take 15,000 units. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legodelorean Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Just received my Triple E today from LEGO Shop at Home. Box is minty mint and seals read 33R4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@rtisan Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Marked as Retiring Soon on Canada/USA LEGO Shop at Home, and the limit has been raised to 5 from 2 earlier this week. My guess it`ll be gone pretty quick, sometime in March perhaps. Double VIP is 1/2 way through the month and I`ll wager that if it is not gone by then, it will be shortly after.

Veegs Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Raising the limit to five and marking it retiring soon seem like desperation pleas to resellers - please clear these out of our warehouses! We weren't moving them fast enough with limit 2. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@rtisan Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Yeah exactly, just further evidence to approach this one with caution. I`m happy with 2 sealed. Who know, most people ignoring it may just inflate the value even more, though I`m seriously sceptical of that. I think it will do alright, enough to buy 2 "shares" of it.

Veegs Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Gah! I caved and ordered another single to up myself to 3 'shares'. The cheap Canadian dollar made me do it, plus I like the demolition driller. Now I promise to not order any more unless it makes it to double VIP. Then I'll probably cave and buy two more. But only if... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biking_tiger Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Maybe, just maybe, since this wasn't available other than LEGO shops and LEGO Shop at Home in the US (or third party sellers at Amazon and eBay), they had to up the minimum to clear them out. Maybe the suggested "experiment in exclusivity" was a failure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adewar Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 There are about 60,000 container ships in the world with an average crew of 20, so 1.2 million workers currently. I won't try to infer anything from this number here, but i thought it might be of interest to some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course they'll spend it all on LEGO container ships! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
