11k

some reported issues with the set,  first smoke stack doesn't go up and down when moved.  It will go up one cycle then not do anymore.   Guess I'll build one this weekend and see what it does.

This is why I often avoid the first batch, like when WALL·E had the dodgy neck. LEGO designers aren't as adept as they once were. These days, it's always a rush to market instead of proper QA. I await the report of your smoke stack test ?

Still all 24.  Was approx 11k 24 and 16k 25 in first batches.  Which explains why they never stocked out.

thank you for the response and detailed information! 11k doesn't seem like much but the demand is not very high at this point

Personally think it is more than that.  Just off the first 2 weeks shipments if you times it by 100 stores it comes out to about 15k and both those shipments were 24s.  All the early shop at homes have been 24 too.  Then Legoland were all 24 even though their initial numbers aren't very high.  

Next shipment should give a better idea.

from the sounds of that it will be well in to summer before another shipment? or once a store gets down to a case, they reorder? perhaps I should be looking at the store near disney as they would be the most likely to turn over higher a quantity!

Nah they move 15-20 per day first week.  Probably 10 or so per day now.  It does move they just made quite a few to meet demand which keeps secondary market declining.  

They are just very good at stock levels now.

Anyone seen a rare box in the wild yet? Apparently it has no. 25 printed on it! 

This set is currently at 'Hard to find'. 

Do you guys think it's my last chance to get it? Or it's only temporary and I'm better waiting Christmas for a restock and a sale ??

Hard to Find means it isn't available in traditional in-store retailers (Target, Walmart), not an indication that it will be retiring. I imagine it will restock sometime this holiday, if not sooner.

Not sure what this means, but I just received my 21317 from LEGO SaH today and the set has the printing error of saying #024 instead of CORRECTLY showing #025. I am guessing that LEGO must have made a TON of these sets when it got released and only noticed the error after they had made thousands of the wrong one. I was looking at all the eBay listings and all of them show the error. I don't even know if a box WITHOUT the error even exists. Instead of the error box, being worth a lot of money it could just be that the box that accurately displays the #025 could be worth some serious cash, just speculating.

Dang! That's the smallest Benchy I've ever seen! Incredibly well calibrated machine, too!

So is just 24 the rare, or 25?

Do you know if they have plans for another run this last quarter?
