eliminator 956 Posted January 2 I quick flipped the two I purchased during the 30% BF sale...even though I sold them at a fair discount, they took a while to sell. The inclusion of the power functions components makes this set $100 that it should be. I was going to keep and build one for my collection, but something about the set just doesn't jive....

CathyVT 70 Posted January 2 Just now, exciter1 said: Did you not read about the sticker issue with the initial runs? My only issue with stickers was 1) the 3 carpet tiles had the printing shifted, so when one gets turned around for the end of the carpet, it doesn't like up; and 2) ONE sticker for the train station was on the sheet of stickers for the train! ALL other stickers were separated so you could split and sell separately the building and the train, except that one sticker... 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This set doesn't do a whole lot for me, so I'd not been paying attention until the BF deal. That said, I don't for a second believe that TLG took $100 off the price to move out some sets with wonky stickers. They didn't blow out the early Wall-E sets for 30% off, and that damn thing couldn't keep his head up. This set is not moving - bad price, bad stickers, bad concept, bad whatever - take your pick of reasons why. I would absolutely believe an early retirement for this guy while the castle keeps chugging along. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had quality control issues with mine having broken pieces (which Lego did replace). May have been a one-off issue but it doesn't add well to this set's resume from my experience. I wonder how this would sell if offered as two separate sets with minifigs split across them. Example - Goofy and Minnie with the station for $169.99; Mickey and the chipmunks with the train/tracks and power functions for $159.99 (assuming the combined MSRP of $329.99 needed to remain the same).

waddamon 897 Posted January 3 Not related to the train but I am real tired of breaking lego pieces and splitting figures. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LegoMan1212 607 Posted January 3 I just checked my VIP account and I received the double bonus VIP pts back from November (the glitch thing if you know what I'm talking about). In total got over 8,500 pts for it. Wasn't expecting it, but I'll take it. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

elmaslıefendi 155 Posted February 24 Barely moving at 30% off RRP on eBay, what a joke. Should have been a 230€ set to begin with I guess, the market just boycotted the price. It'll be done this year, if they discount it 30% on BF right after release it's not a good sign, can't imagine it surviving 2020. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
