Needs a little more truthiness if He thinks Aragog can hit $45+ before they re-make/release it. Or he’s not good at math. Speculate. FG has been in the game long enough to know his market so if it´s a winner there then good for him. In Europe it is still easy to find and will be a marker for HP EOL appreciation. Also, many Euro Timmy and Timettas are scared of spiders and how many parents are gonna buy something to scare their kids? I forgot the bus, which is the only sub 50 set I would take on but it has to be half price. Hagrid´s Hut is my winner from the lot.

Alucard1982 Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 George is right in regards to 75950 in the Oz market. Our buy-in was around $12 AUD ($23 RRP). Set is on the cusp of $40 AUD at the moment.Personally Minecraft is my constant performer, Sparkle babies were never released here, so also a decent flip if you get a decent price off BL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually got none of the little spider, but just because I was too greedy with the buyin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the LEGO put some "rails" into HP Express Train then I could see that as a solid investment - maybe not gaining much but never ever falling below (whatever it would be) original purchase price. You simply do not get it.. why not even 3 pcs of rails.. ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortbus311 Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 For me, my Harry Potter money has gone into 75956. I believe that we will see a surprise retirement of that set soon, maybe as early as March. Amazon and Walmart are already both sold out of them and Amazon doesn't have it listed as more on the way or anything. I think this set will be last years Minecraft sets 21144 and 21146.

Found an ebay listing in which the guy offered me $30 each on this set, for a total of 8. I believe he has more than that. Find the listing which is BIN OBO for $39.99 with several available. Trying to work out an offer now but thought I'd pass the deal on... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HandyHand Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 “LEGO House Tree of Creativity” to discontinue Since the opening of LEGO House it has been an important milestone to create exclusive products that relate to LEGO House and adds to the LEGO House experience for the guests. The first exclusive product launched was the LEGO House Architecture (21037) in 2017, followed by the LEGO House Tree of Creativity (4000026) in 2018, and then the LEGO House Dinosaurs (40366) in 2019. LEGO House has now decided to discontinue the LEGO House Tree of Creativity – in order to make shelf space for a new exclusive product arriving in late May 2020. The Tree of Creativity was originally launched as a great reproduction of the 15,6 metre tall Tree of Creativity in LEGO Square. The most iconic features were resized into the retail model. LEGO enthusiasts will know that the LEGO Group also launched a Tree of Creativity model back in May 2017. That particular model was developed as the surprise gift for the participants of the LEGO Inside Tour. Due to the popularity of the product and the iconic link to LEGO House, the model was chosen to become an LEGO House exclusive product. LEGO designer Steen Sig Andersen is the designer of the retail version in LEGO House and had great focus on the details. The LEGO House Tree of Creativity will be sold until out of stock. However, a special agreement has been made to ensure that the product is available during the AFOL Day in LEGO House on the 24th September 2020.

crayxlp Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Would be interesting to know how LEGO handled the IP license fees 1 % from all sales for the original IDEAS Creator.. Surely you get more if the product is widely in circulation than to restrict its sale to a SINGLE city... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crayxlp Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 on the contrary - I meant Ideas Tree House. Perhaps you were taken off by the "IP license fees". but actually that is what it is - LEGO pays 1 % off all the sales to the original IDEAS Designer for his/hers design (intelectual property, copyright rights etc.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Set # 4000026 is an exclusive that is only sold at Lego House. Set # 31318 is sold worldwide. The original article posted is saying that they are retiring 4000026 once it sells out. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrickBuilderX Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Hello, Are there any sets likely to be retiring between now and July such as Steamboat Willie, which has now been out a year? In general, do sets only retire in July and December or is it more spread out? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain_chaos Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 I expect that this has very little to do with retirements, and a lot to do with people stuck at home wanting something to do. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
