Hmmm, have you checked out prices of its little brother 21012, recently?

The little SOH + the DeLorean indicate that the large Sydney Opera House should also be a winner because it is just as ugly as the other two.  Perhaps it is time to start sourcing out the worst designed sets for future investments.

ugly is in the eye of the beholder.  I have SOH on display and get many positive comments about it.

I have been looking at this set for a long time. It reminds me a lot of the Sea Cow. Big, overly expensive, and not that popular....

That being said I'd still like to grab a few, but I am really hesitant. I half expect this (creator box) as well as EV (disney box) to come out in a month with a new box design thus being available for another 2+ years.

Anyone have any thoughts on this?

I think it's done...

It's not retiring and if it was it is a loser.

 

Jeez, can we keep the horde off of one exclusive? Just one?

I think EV is almost done but the opera house I think has more legs. Although I am completely new to this.

I'd like to get my hands on a set or two but I've other priorities at the moment. Its in stock at the Lego shop UK and I saw one at my local TRU the other day.

These should do very well EOL...

No they are duds and they wont retire until 2020.

 

Why do you want every set to be hoarded?

Curious how many amazon has?

LOL! Is that why you knock every set...

Do you honestly believe people are only purchasing if they're posting? Come on...

Yes, but new box, or old box? that is the question...

You could probably trade a couple of tumblers for one...

Not couple, maybe one plus extra set of front tires from second set

So anyone know if the new batch has a new box? 

Gradually becoming hard to find outside SAH, no new box reports and star protagonist of TRU Iberia´s 40% flash sale today (and we wll know TRU don´t mark down anything for fun). I´d say it´s looking fairly done and should be retired when Big Ben comes out.

WOW 40% reduction on the Opera House would have been a sweet price, did you get any?

Good grief! Here we go yet again... Why do we have another thread for 10234? No one ever thinks about the moderators having to move these things...

Seen in my LEGO Store : 49S05

Yeah and stacking discounts and points, they worked out at around 165 euros a piece. Late 2015 seals. I expect it will be retired when Big Ben comes out later this year.
