December 13, 201312 yr And I thought having 12 was not enough.. 12 is definitely not enough, and neither is 14 for that matter. Lol. I think we might have addiction problems.
December 13, 201312 yr This set is now two years old. Whether or not it is going away soon, it is a great set that is hard to get at a reasonable discount because of the exclusive nature of it. If you can get two from TRU for $32 each after tax (in America, at least,) I can't think of a better time to grab up as many as you can afford. Plus a couple more after that. How are you getting it for $32? Am I missing a deal on their website?
December 13, 201312 yr How are you getting it for $32? Am I missing a deal on their website? I was referring to the sale they had up until last Saturday. It was listed at $39.99, and then it was buy one, get one half off. It is still $39.99 now. This is a set though that I have happily paid full retail for at times when need be. It will appreciate enough to cover the cost.
December 13, 201312 yr I am hording these now, ordering a bunch every week. At $30 it is hard to go wrong with this set.
December 14, 201312 yr Are most TRU stores not restocking? I see the piles becoming smaller and smaller at my local stores... Could be interesting after this season?
December 14, 201312 yr Are most TRU stores not restocking? I see the piles becoming smaller and smaller at my local stores... Could be interesting after this season? My TRU stores are still stocked to the brim with these sets. So I can't tell. I think them having them at 55-60 dollars makes them dead weight in a retail environment. I think the set is done though and it is going to become very interesting. I have been buying a few every week. At ~$30 this set is gold.

I bought 18 of these a couple weeks ago, so my store doesn't have too many of these or Battle Of Hoth left. Less than 10 of each probably.
December 14, 201312 yr Interesting that these are not on the recent "Retiring Soon" page. Perhaps they will be coming back after all?
December 15, 201312 yr Got some of these during the BOGO at TRU for ~30 each. Now that I look back on it I regret not getting more :/

December 15, 201312 yr Better to get some, then to get none. I got one, not some. I can't seem to find this anywhere for less than $40.
December 15, 201312 yr Any time the Funhouse is on sale, you should add a little more each time to your positions. You'll be kicking yourself having to pay 55-60 at TRU even if it's retiring.
December 15, 201312 yr Any time the Funhouse is on sale, you should add a little more each time to your positions. You'll be kicking yourself having to pay 55-60 at TRU even if it's retiring. Best sale in my part of the world for this is $39.99CAD. I think the funhouse is pretty cool. Still a lot on the shelves at TRU so I'll wait for another discount to add to my position. I saw at least 15 on the shelves at three different TRU locations.
December 15, 201312 yr This is a beaten down topic... $30 or less is a BUY ... No Brainer. Its like a fat kid seeing free candy and not grabbing any.
December 15, 201312 yr This is a beaten down topic... $30 or less is a BUY ... No Brainer. Its like a fat kid seeing free candy and not grabbing any. No kidding it's a no brainer. And when will we get to see them at $30? I can only get them when there's an online blowout.
December 17, 201311 yr Has anyone noticed on the European Lego Shop sites that 6857 is labeled "Retired Product"? Someone on Brickset reported it, so I just wanted some confirmation? Thanks...
December 17, 201311 yr Wow - every EU S@H site shows it as a Retired Product. Let the panic buying begin in the US (or maybe that's already happened). EDIT - Australia and New Zealand also showing Retired Product.
December 17, 201311 yr I can`t see how people could classify this as a sleeper. Maybe up until a couple months ago, but now is seems everyone is buying multiples. The aftermarket, if it is going EOL soon, will be saturated. Still it`s a great set, and there is still some hope that the value will increase in the future.
December 17, 201311 yr Has anyone noticed on the European Lego Shop sites that 6857 is labeled "Retired Product"? Someone on Brickset reported it, so I just wanted some confirmation? Thanks... You can switch countries on S@H and see what they see.
December 17, 201311 yr You can switch countries on S@H and see what they see. I don't have Flash Player and I have no rights to install it. Pretty locked down here at work.
December 18, 201311 yr Fire sale now, buy 3 and $25 off. They're pulling a "Barrel Escape" from last night. Get your trigger and credit card ready to rock.
December 18, 201311 yr Fire sale now, buy 3 and $25 off. They're pulling a "Barrel Escape" from last night. Get your trigger and credit card ready to rock. What is this referring to? I'm sorry if I missed the reference earlier in the thread. I did notice just now that the Barrel Escape set seems to be gone from the TRU website. That is very telling...
December 18, 201311 yr Nevermind. I get it. TRU has $25 off $100 Lego purchase... Great way to get three Funhouses for under $35 each after all is said and done.
