Went to a semi-official lego store this afternoon and they still had about 8 on the shelf. Dunno how many they still had in the back. Maybe the price of 230 euro is the reason they still had them in these quantities. 

Furthermore, all the modulars were depleted. So no Pet Shop, Palace Cinema or Parisian Restaurant. Also missing were all of the UCS Star Wars sets. Including Ewok Village. Simpsons House however was present in high numbers.

HI, have you ask them when the modulars will be back?

yep. same tiny sad friends polypag

I don't see anything regarding winter soldier poly promo. I wish I could have got some of these

If this set retires now it might follow the same growth curve as TH or HH. Sold a TH this morning at 250% profit and will be using the funds to acquire two ToO's on top of the two I already have. Still more than 30 in stock across all of SA's shops that sell online, but I highly doubt we'll be getting another shipment. The question is whether 4 is enough or not!

Negative.

So did I. But I got a poor Friends polybag instead of Winter Soldier...

Friends + Tower of Orthanc?  I've see the "Friends Star".  Where's the Tower of Heartlake City?  I'd like to see that.

Well...

 

Hopefully it sells out quickly!

I'm not so sure it will be TH or HH.  I do see this set hitting around 500 eventually, but it will take some time.  But having 4 of them is probably a good bet long term.  You definitely shouldn't lose money on these.

Looks like Amazon US is getting some stock. I ordered one this morning and estimated ship date was mid August. Just received an email saying they will be sending it by Aug 7th.

Still sold out on SAH...

LOTR search by theme is gone from the Canadian site...I swear it was there two days ago when I checked. Debating whether to pull the trigger at walmart.ca or if I'm happy with the ones I have. With SAH, Amazon.ca, TRU.ca and mastermindtoys out I think Canadians are down to one lonely retailer with stock.

I always buy 4 copies of the sets I invest in (excepted for HH ^^) !

That's how many of these i'm sitting on.  Have one for the personal collection, and 3 for the future.

haha ... same here ... im not big time so i like to keep my exclusives at a max of 4, especially the more expensive kine ... usually!!!  haha ... 

I always like to have a minimum of five. But hardly ever make it.

I have two Orthancs. That will be it I am affraid. Especially cause finding discounts on this set is like impossible now.

My max is 3...I'm in the same boat as you fellas!

I think this one will be more of a slow burner like Arkham Asylum

I didn't buy too many as storage space is an issue.  My goal was ten of these originally. It's a neat design and fairly impressive in-person.   I was hesitant to go over 3 - 5 though.
Is it even one of top 3 landmarks in the trilogy? I'm not trying to debate the importance of this fortress / Isengard.  Just trying to figure out if enough people care about it.

Maybe this set will be a winner in the long run.  

Sold out at LEGO Shop at Home EU.

Sounds like the good one this time !!

If this is not like the issue we had a few ago (which I doubt)...then watch this place exploding!

 

A retirement is never late, nor is it early, it goes away precisely when it is meant to.
