Most of you probably know this already, but the SSD is "call to check availability."

I missed that..one more time? lol

:music:

Hey wazza, did you ever make your trip to the store? Get what you wanted?

Hey game. I didn't get what I wanted actually. I will go Thursday when I get paid but I will let you know what I got! I do want the Sopwith camel but the store at my local town didn't have one. I might just order it online.

Hmmm, do you know if they still had balloon carts at your store? My Sopwith I ordered a couple of days ago is still on back order from LEGO Shop at Home & so is my balloon cart.  Bummer

Game, I didn't go to the store. I decided to wait until I can drop some cash instead of credit. But I will go tomorrow and let you know what I get and if I get a balloon cart ;)

Gotcha, good luck!

Called a Lego store 1 hour drive away from me. 2 Haunted Houses left and kept in the backroom because they "are retiring"! Eek! Gotta go after work lol!!!

"they are retiring" said the employee! :)

lol, that's a great set, cant go wrong with that one!

I was at my Lego store on Monday and asked about the HH since there were none on the shelves, and the employee told me it was retiring as well. I also placed an order for one from Walmart that took 12 days to ship, possible sourcing issues due to low inventory? All speculation of course, could just be Walmart providing a Walmart-level of service especially since it's still available to order.

It is widely assumed that Haunted House is a true winner, but does Vampyre Castle tell us anything about what to expect?

 

They're both "vampire-themed, halloween-type large buildings."  And, yes I know the House is more like a modular and has more to offer, but Vampyre Castle is a dud so far.  It's not because of Toyr R Us inventory.  If there was true interest in the secondary market, that inventory would be gone by now.  It retired last November for crying out loud.

 

There may not be much interest in vampyres and "horror" themes amongst the general public.

Holloween will be the first true test for this theme

I say there is interest, but largely for the sparkle in sunlight variety

lol .....you really hate twilight don't you!

I would expect HH not retiring until after Halloween this year. TLG will be a bit silly to retire it before then.

This is the very first haunted house in Lego history according to the original description. I plan on buying both today at that store. I will keep one and probably convert the other to a bed and breakfast to go with my modular town. It has the look of an old Victorian house which I love. It can also easily convert to the Psycho house as well lol

it is an amazing set.  you won't regret it. 

Not sure how much this matters but I will add this about the HH. Women seem to really like this set. Every female I have showed this set to, falls in love with it!!!

Ha ha ha ha.....game using the HH to run his game!!

My wife almost literally tore the box out of my hands, and dug into it.  I think I got to put together maybe 5 pieces.

 

She gave me specific instructions that if I was purchasing this for investment, I better buy more than 1, since she was claiming one for herself.

Enough said, all the ladies loves this set, it's  a real winner!!!  lol

So you're saying the HH would make for a good anniversary gift?  I'm terrible at getting gifts, but with a can't lose woman pleaser like the HH, I could turn my streak around.  Thanks.

Should we start a thread "what legos do to/for my woman"?

lol.....Maybe you should just buy her some flowers & take her out to dinner fuzz.......probably be a lot cheaper $$$

Not if it leads to another kid....a HH might actually prevent that.
