Jules_K Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 This looks to be sold out pretty much everywhere here in Australia, which is a rare occurrence. I'm not ruling this set out for making a sneaky 2015 exit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be very sneaky if Lego.com goes from TOOS to Sold Out status. That's how it should be to keep the resellers off guard. Sets like this has been on the shelf long enough for people to purchase. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Val-E Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 It´s available in the rest of the world so unless it is old stock, unlikely. They must have made quite a few not to sell out during the BF promotion in Europe. Let´s see if it is marked down again in the January sale.

Well before my comment this thread was dormant for over a month... seems a bit too quiet if everyone was thinking it was imminently retiring.

It's TOOS @ Lego & sold out @ FAO, Target, TRU & Walmart. That didn't happen overnight. I believe most of the comments may have been in the "Retiring Soon" thread...

This is by far the exclusive with the least amount of chatter, it would be interesting to know how much this is hoarded. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not a bad set as well. Just too expensive and decent discounts were very very rare. At least in my outback of the woods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iluminadings Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 I guess it's usual that lego doesn't make discount with an exclusive Set. It's not like SW or Ninjago and so on. That mean's that TLG dont't want that People like we shouldn't able to horde this Set I would say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait until Lego really expand into the China market. I can't wait for a Forbidden City! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belljohn Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 If you want one for $280, 316 Distribution has some with damaged boxes on Amazon. I don't know how damaged the box will be, but the listing says still sealed. 4 available. http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00EQ7LZSY/ref=dp_olp_collectible?ie=UTF8&condition=collectible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TabbyBoy Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 It's just butt ugly compared to the Tower Bridge which is why I'm leaving this one alone. It could retire due to lack of interest as the ones I've seen in the UK appear to linger on shelves where the Tower Bridges don't last long at all. However, if I see one cheap enough, I'd use it for the bits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just one of those that's reluctant to buy what I don't like. However, I love the new cityscapes and could be tempted with those. The selling price of a small set isn't necessarily an indication of the selling price of its big brother. If the big SOH had a smooth roof rather then the very inaccurate corrugated one, I may think differently about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
