You're getting to the root of the issue, but it all stems on how TLG wants to grow.

I'm just concerned that support for this will dry out and it will go up in flames.

I'm trying to come up with a new one but I'm kind of stumped...

Don’t worry. Prices will Fall soon, leafing us to cleanup and stack these for next winter.

I bought one of the LEGO originals. Possibly very short life-span?

What in the world are they up to? Looks like a very expensive and small log

I won't be touching wood. 

Front loaded demand (and minimal demand at that, IMO).

Maybe it'll be a winner, but there are better bets right now...

If this goes somewhat unnoticed it'll be a sure winner. Lower demand can easily be balanced out with low supply and that's the case with this set (at least here). At a decent discount I'd buy one or two.

I thought I read somewhere (can't find it) LEGO said the wooden figure was limited production of 10,000.  That wouldn't last very long world-wide.

10k per reseller or per day?

lol, I thought it was 10k total.  One-time production run, hand made.  I wish I could find the article I read it in.  It might be in the LEGO News feed a few pages back.

 

Below is the only article I can find re: quantity and it says LEGO never stated how many.  So I stand corrected.  idk where I got the 10k idea from.

It takes a warped and twisted mind to branch out this far on a limb when investing. 

Knot for me.

That’s like a dad joke hat trick.

Wooden it make sense to just buy a few of these just in case TLG discards this set and it's entire branch of possible new sets in the future?

This is a potentially good idea, as they could stem this theme out. My guess is that these are around for at least tree years.
