JM123 Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Just bought 6 at my local toyshop for 80 euro p.p. They just put them on the shelfs fresh out of the factory case :-D lucky me. FYI: This set is also sold out not at intertoys.nl, with a pricetag of 115 euro not cheap at al.. Think they returned some to Lego to fulfil backorders.

inversion Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 (edited) What games are those? Panicking and pointless speculation. Personally, in the light of the other retiring sets it doesn't surprise me that this is not a priority.

Ciglione Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 (edited) 10233 Horizon Express was call to check availability at lego shop&home Germany this morning. I just called but all were gone.

Highlander Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 My order for 2 from last friday just got cancelled from Lego. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val-E Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 The good thing about Lego apartheid pricing is that it forces people to use their initiative so I was able to snag one from another source for 80 euros today!

tractorboy Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 (edited) My order for 2 from last friday just got cancelled from Lego. From reading the Briskset forum, it seems a lot of people in the UK who ordered 2 of any discounted set last Friday had their order cancelled, where those who ordered just one got theirs.

They must have been unlucky or just late to the party. I received my 2x SC, 2x AA, 2x EEE, 2x HE and the SOH. I also got the ice skating promo in each of the six orders.

I also got the ice skating promo in each of the six orders. I asked to have mine left out and given to charity as I don't want the main boxes damaged which has happened to too often. Also, CS thanked me for my "generosity" and this is what allowed me to order another 2x 3E. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My skating sets were delivered in pristine condition, even the one sent with the Sydney Opera House. But then TLG have always packaged my sets with plenty of air pockets.

abri123 Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Quick question - Do all the trains increase well - heard in the early days of joining this site that trains and ships were definate winners, but does that just refer to the like of Emerald Night / Maersk, or does it also follow for Horizon Express and City Passenger 7938 ?

Lego have really nailed this design, it closely represents the real thing. In Europe this should be a hugely popular train, one which most city enthusiasts will not want to be without.

abri123 Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Possibly agree, as this is based on a specific train, but where do we think 7938 will be? I bought a few for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tractorboy Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 (edited) I'm no expert on Lego trains, but the HE is not a City theme train (like the 7987, 60051, 60052 etc.), which are easy to find at generous discounts. It's an exclusive (less widely available) and a more involving build, so is more in line with sets like the Emerald Night & Maersk, which I'm sure will be reflected in its EOL value. Especially in Europe I would think. At least that's my understanding of it. Edited November 28, 2014 by tractorboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ciglione Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Yesterday I saw it build for the first time. It is wonderful! A shame I only have 4. Will be on the lookout though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beatpoppa Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 That demo vid changed me from "indifferent investor" to "I want to open 2 of these & run a train that fast around my Xmas tree this year." In. Credible. Q: That train is hauling... I have never set up and run a lego train using the power accessories but guessing this is running on something stronger than the Lego-sold power set?

Stevenplays Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Probably using two PF motors per engine I would assume... Heck, one PF motor in the back at full speed can push it along at a decent speed all things considering. Check out BrickTsar's video on YouTube regarding this, he only has one set of PFs in it.

BrickLegacy Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Alright guys, it's late and I am alone at the bar. There is a lady on the end, dressed in orange. Her name is HE, but I assure you she is a she. I haven't dated her before, in fact, I haven't even considered looking at her. But now, she is offering to take me home for the night if we go ice skating first. She said skating is her favorite thing to do on a date, but I'll need to act fast because they are closing the rink soon. What should I do?
