Meanwhile, 10278 Police Station is no longer available in Europe, therefore the last availble modular is 10270 Bookshop.

Still available:

41721 Friends Organic Farm

41729 Friends Organic Grocery Store

What do you guys think of these sets as investment (available for approx. 50% off)?

amazon showing 200 sales per month, Plus friends is not like it used to be for flipping. Not something we would load up on.

Corvette is kinda a surprise.  I have yet to see this one on the shelves at target, I've seen all the other vehicles there.  If it truly is retiring after this year, it will definitely be a set to invest in.  Supposedly, the Camaro is also retiring this year.

Looking for thoughts on BOP - 10289. Its sitting at close to $190 now for a couple weeks. Seller count rose to 35 but now back at 25. Is this a Valentines day bump or are we looking at a genuine TFH part 2?

I sold my ties way too early after the first bump and then watched it rise to $330. Seems like this may have similar legs 

Slightly concerned about some sort of quick remake or inclusion is a new bouqet of some sort

The completionist pull on the Botanical line is strong and now that many new enters will be getting the rose bouquet for Valentine’s Day interest should increase. I think it is the ugliest and most overpriced set in the line so many collectors probably passed regretfully so. Remake doubtful unless the angry target soccer moms pressure Lego into it, inclusion in a bouquet possible next year at the earliest. I doubt we will see a TFH remake but could they make a micro version GWP to satisfy demand like Ninjago City possible. Just hurry up and grab 30 off BL shipped for just under MSRP.

I have tropical decor and love this set and think it looks great. There is some cross interest with those that like tropical plants as well.

Did you get the Macaws to display? I need a break from this Titanic build and they are calling me.

I wish they had a little more color variation but I get what they were going for with the art style, they would pop on the right color background. Seems like a rewarding build.

a tie fighter this is not ive decided....

Its back up to 190.  Almost double rrp, so this one is looking good as an investment.  I think youre being a little impatient.

blizzard came and left. They always scare us with these snowstorm predictions!

I have a few of these.  I regretted not buying this one when it went out of stock at lego.com back in december.  Then they popped back into stock, and I bought a couple and got a good GWP that I sold off that I basically consider a discount too.  Then about 2 weeks later, each of the targets in my town got in about 3 at each store and discounted them to about 80.00 (and all the stores in my town they stuff them behind lock glass, so the boxes are minty).  So, I picked up a few more.   I'm holding them for a few years I think.  The jump out of the retirement gate which was about less than 30 days ago, has been good and I believe we could see this one get to 3 to 4x within a couple years.  I'm tempted to crack one open and build one, but so far i've resisted the urge and haven't built a single set with this theme.  I think this theme is one of the few that is going to do well.  When my son got really into lego, the Architecture theme was pretty new, and that was kind of a golden era, IMO.  Not saying the botanical line will go that way, but its one of the themes that could head that way.  I know i'm not the only one that thinks that way, either.  I hope they dont overdo it with too many sets.  I hope they keep it to about 2 to 3 new sets a year.

This site is saying the Icons Corvette is retiring this year.  Think this is accurate?  It just came out last August.  That would be about a year and a few month run which would make it rare short run for this theme...but hey.

No guarantee it will retire this year.

That's a given.  It could be said about every single LEGO set that is currently being sold.  Personally, I don't find a 16 month shelf life to be odd at all.

It's way too early in the year for the retirement lists currently floating around to be taken as highly accurate.  If it stays on the retirement lists past August, then it's probably a lock to retire this year, but LEGO has made late retirement changes in the past.

It's probably going to depend on how many of you go start buying corvettes in Q1 and 2 ;)
