Hey Tabby, how many Tabby bridge have you got stashed up at the moment, :).

Sorry I meant Tower Bridge,

None! I sold them all at around £180 a while ago as they were the horrible old boxes that are worth less then the newer ones (buyer's aren't stupid). I'll buy them back in the new boxes once I see them under say, £150 on the like of Amazon. It could EOL tomorrow but, I'll take a chance. Seal code 45S6 was in Harrods last Friday.

I'm rinsing and repeating on the VW T1 Campers also to update the boxes.

LOL, I hope that it won't become $1000 after tomorrow as I haven't got any atm, :))

If they will end tomorrow or this year, then they will be a good investment, because nearly every reseller has lost his patience...

You'll be perfectly safe for a long time I think. Just don't pay much more than £150 for one as Amazon often has them discounted.

Not that good an investment as I reckon this is probably the most hoarded of all the large sets. Even though I detest the SOH, that will do a lot better I think.

Just one call to John Lewis and I'll buy all 51 that they have in stock right now!

Not worth much at all. Will probably be back in stock next Xmas. Got rid all of mine. Seasonal sets are too risky.

As I am someone from Germany, what does it mean?

But I am not more sure as I have seen how many are horded at BrickLink...

John Lewis let me return mine a year after I bought them without a receipt and gave me £300 in vouchers.

This set is a turkey and all Winter sets are in danger of a resurrection next year or a rehash the year after.

Money is better place elsewhere.

There's a huge amount hoarded and it'll be hovering at around RRP (or even less) for at least a year after EOL.

Beside Maze it was the best set to fullfill the prerequisite for the snowglobe, with 20% off even the best one...

I really don't know what the satus "will be delivered at 5th or whenever" means, the date changes to often to guarantee a new production run in this case...

T1 seal code 48S6 will be on the shelves next week... probably.

Were all the recent retirements tagged 'retiring soon'? I mean are there any sets going OOS and about to be retired without that tag?
