No More Monkeys Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 I think they intermittently retired Winter Village Cottage like this as well, before bringing it back last year for it's final run. you mean WVC had actual "retired" tag??

fantomas007 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 I think they intermittently retired Winter Village Cottage like this as well, before bringing it back last year for it's final run. I am 100% sure, that WVC was available the whole year 2013 without "retired" notice. This situation with WVM is a precedent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mscheaf Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Pardon me for asking but why do we think this set matters? Looking at the numbers for the last 3 retired WV sets, I wasn't impressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zskid00 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Lol, no seriously, do we think this set is going to do well after EOL? If this is the last year for the WVM, I think it will do just fine in retirement. The limit of 2 at Shop at Home US is similar to what they did with the WVC about this time last year and it was gone for good by mid-December. I will be looking to pick up a couple next month with double VIP and the holiday bonus set which will net me a nice discount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the numbers for the last 3 retired WV sets, I wasn't impressed. Quit trolling. Each and every one of these sets has at least doubled within a year or two of EOL, 3x+ with the Toy Shop. The Cottage will easily surpass $200 this holiday season. If those numbers don't impress you, then you are trolling. Research Institutes, Zombies, these are 1 in a 1000 type set. If you think this is the norm, you are out of your mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just asking a gd question if it offends you so gd much don't read it and respond. Just forget it.

California92563 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 I think anything that has to do with the winter village theme is gold, I mean look at how much the freebies go for and it's a fun theme that anyone can enjoy. Im personally bummed that I missed out on the majority of them because I'd die to have them for my collection but it's nearly impossible for me to find any of the retired ones for a decent price haha.

Saying dumb things to get a rise out of people. It's also my job here to respond to things said and people that make this site more cluttered with nonsense than it needs to be. Your name seems to pop up for the latter quite a bit. Also, I won't forget it. You'd never call me a jack off to my face, I guarantee it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir...you don't know jack. The Winter Village sets on average have around a 30% CAGR. That's pretty impressive. PS: Please refrain from calling other members, especially Mods, a jack off.

The term jack off is somewhat of an insult in the US. Not a major one, because I call every driver on the road one and my 4 year old son repeats it.

siddji Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 I am debating whether to get one 10235 this month in the US , so i can get the vintage astronaut or is it better to wait for double VIP points. I already have one astronaut on the way (order status says back ordered for GE and astronaut). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
