Which Creator Expert Car(s) will retire in 2020 ?

[HandyHand]

These seven (!) Creator Expert cars are all available right now, but logically one or more should retire this year. Which one(s) do you expect to go?

You made a mistake, 10220 isn't supposed to be in the poll.

For a range of reasons, I wouldn't be surprised to a fairly mass retiring of these this year - due to both production prioritisation (covid) and . 

I voted for 10220 Volkswagen T1 Camper Van 10252 Volkswagen Beetle, 10258 London Bus and 10262 James Bond™ Aston Martin DB5.

I can legitimately see any or all of them going. 10220 has had it's time, and the Mustang will be the new eternal best-seller.
The other 3 were all slow sellers, comparatively. Especially the overpriced DB5.

Interesting to look back at this topic, almost 3 years later. Now we can compare the actual retirement dates with the poll predictions (data taken from Brickset)  

10220 Volkswagen T1 Camper Van (since 2011) --> Retired December 2020

10252 Volkswagen Beetle (since August 2016) --> Retired December 2020

10258 London Bus (since August 2017) --> Retired December 2021

10262 James Bond™ Aston Martin DB5 (since August 2018) --> Retired December 2021

10265 Ford Mustang (since March 2019) --> still available

10269 Harley-Davidson® Fat Boy® (since August 2019) --> Retired December 2021

10271 Fiat 500 (since March 2020) --> Retired December 2022

 

 

The correct answers were both Volkswagen cars.

10252: Volkswagen Beetle is just above RRP on eBay UK, surprising as I thought it would do decent.

So did everyone else - it's been pathologically over-hoarded.

And the general economic downturn globally with decreased demand for retired Lego sets doesn't help either.
