Highlander Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 It is. And I live in the US. I like bridges cabins and scenic stuff. This bridge wins out. I hope lego does a covered rustic bridge at some point. If Lego did the Forth rail Bridge, that would be the ultimate Lego bridge in my opinion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TabbyBoy Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 If Lego did the Forth rail Bridge, that would be the ultimate Lego bridge in my opinion. Won't that be a Technic set rather than Creator? It'll be cool all the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toycrazedchris Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 I heard they were doing a freeway overpass to go with the new red district modular theme. So much for nice bridges... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdmpartz Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 I have been keeping an eye on this set, but this is new. "Out of stock, expected ship date 10 Jan 2015" http://shop.lego.com/en-US/Tower-Bridge-10214?fromListing=listing Just a heads up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DenJ91 Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 ^ It's been going OOS here and there for months. Getting harder to find in retail stores as well. I personally think it's on it's last legs but could be another few months or summer before it's really gone. I certainly hope so, I've got a few of them and one built. It's an extremely impressive set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brick_slayer Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 I also think this set will be done in the next few months. I'm hoping sooner than later since so many sets have retired recently that many people don't have the funds for more big exclusives Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an extremely impressive set. It was doing the same dance last year this time. I have a hunch that what LEGO is doing is some dynamic evaluation of sales. Last batch did ok? Then go for the next one! Therefore they don't retire it as long as sales don't dip under a certain threshold in a given period of time. Same thing may be going on with Death Star. If there is satisfactory demand why would a company stop production? It would be retarded. Introduction of new sets is expensive.

inversion Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Lets all face it Lego reinvesting is a calculated gamble, but hey its fun as hell! LEGO investment is no different at all from other forms of investment. All of them contain some risks. Else there wouldn't be profits. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hxckid88 Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 (edited) I Why I like this set : I'd be willing to bet we never see a better price per piece set ever I mean ever again. It's an iconic structure. It's the second lego set over ever built.... Still building I mean I love European culture. Like really enjoy the people and culture of the area. I also love bridges. Has display value and the people paying big bucks for arch sets like robbie house are your same demo with this. What I don't like: Hoarding these Takes up a lot of room in my house......but so did 137 turtle lairs. I'll adapt and adjust. The bridge is not flush with other parts of road. This is by design so bridge can lift but upon close look it looks weird.

I agree with you that this is the best price/piece ratio we will most likely ever see again in a LEGO set. Although I do remember a year or 2 ago someone here mentioned that this set was one of the most heavily hoarded sets. Not sure if that is still true or not.

My apologies I knew you were being sarcastic and was playing along as a literal schmuck. I can easily go back to my this set is not very good line of thinking. I will go back to what I said about this set, don't buy it, see my post from a few days ago. That was a serious post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sozial Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 stock at retailers around here in europe is getting less and less. I think it will be gone soon. A bigger retailer (intertoys) sold them at a special price a while ago and most of the times that shop is a good indicator if the stuff does not come back.

Size of real numbers was the fire brigade..... It's doing just fine. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Brickpicker mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
