Retiring Soon - open speculation

in LEGO Set Retirement / End of Life (EOL)

I still wonder why 10235 WV doesn't get any attention while being retired in Europe. WV sets are that bad?

I know that 10235 shows as retired on LEGO Shop at Home, but I really doubt that it had a 1 year run and off it goes. WV sets in the past have gone off site after holiday season and then made a return a-la Michael Jordan in mid-November. What I don't know is if they've been marked as 'retired' during their hiatus.

And WV sets are not that bad, look how 10229 is performing. That one has served it's 2 year cycle and was marked as sold out in mid december IIRC, so it shouldn't come back this november. It's just that in the EU this theme is not as popular as it is in the US, not even close.

      I'm feeling generous and seems Cladner and Val-E are working to hard at this,  might as well simplify their jobs for the holidays.  Plus some of these need to disappear quicker... 10815

      Chris, I think you're coming in at a time where the LEGO reselling party is coming to an end. I'm not saying there is no more money to be made; what I'm saying is that the ship is full and the general

    It seems that the less your country has snow during winters, the less these sets are popular.

    That would explain why this theme is not seeked in australia, and guessing by your location, nor in spain.

     

    But in France it's "quite" popular (not super but ok), and I think that the more the country and inhabitants can have snowy winters, the more this theme becomes popular.

     

    There are some netherlands and germans members here who could confirm (or not) that this theme is popular in their country (having snowy winters).

    I have a business venture to propose... We pool our money, buy lots of winter sets, and set up physical shop in Alaska.  :money:

    Surprised that Lego never got to license Wizard Of Oz. Or there is someone who has exclusive merchandise license?

    Hey, this thread is off topic again :offtopic::sarcastichand: ..... and way more interesting now.

    it is morally wrong to intentially derail a thread.
