I'm just happy that I already have all the UCS X-Wings I want to have and am out of money to buy anything at the moment... so no stressing going on here. Maybe subconcious stressing ;-) a little bit...

Should I take the fork out of it...?

I've had fifteen Pet Shops and five Palace Cinemas delivered over the last two weeks and not one of them has arrived in a newly designed box. Can anyone confirm seeing a redesigned PC box? Tower Bridge and the T1 Campervan are the only sets I've got which have the new Creator Expert designs.

good, a nice sales spike so the decision would be made to extend production.  Not that Lego would do that though...

I've not only posted a pic that you can find in the PC thread and in this thread but I also got one PC with a new designed box at home.

You're right I shouldn't buy anymore. Let it retire without getting my quota.

Guess I can put these on the back burner for another year then!

If they went through the trouble of refreshing the box... you'd think they can resize it as well to be inline with PR, DO etc.

this was 15 minutes of work for an intern. a box size change would be changes to photos, production lines, packing and shipping, shelving, planograms, and some other stuff.  a box size change would be significant, this means nothing really in regard to life expectancy.

maybe PC will live longer but not too long 

few interesting notes that somewhat relate to possible retiring soon.

damage points levels changed for some of the price points again.  New list was made.  Ewok, TB, Sea Cow , SOH, Sandcrawler, Helicarrier all on it

one notable set not on it.  DS
