From what I have seen. Misprints do not translate to value in most cases.

Misprints have not proven to add any value to a lego set.

The extra piece is that security device.

Ha thats not a security device that's a box damager that requires five people to remove.

I don't have that ability, but you have the honor for another 10 minutes (eastern time ), until you move into defending your title. DNIIM will probably dethrone you, but the odds are always in his favor as he comments a lot.

Dniim can debate me about it.

I passed a few of these for $63 at Kmart. There should be at least another year for it, correct? I wonder whether there is short-term potential later this year for this set, especially if there's gap before the next fire station come out. The previous police station 7498 did have a nice price surge during holiday before the current police station was released.  

Allen, the current fire station was released only last year so it likely has another 2 years to go. That said, if you have the space and the time to sit on this (3-4 years) $63 is a nice price for this set. Police and fire stations tend to appreciate more slowly than other larger sets, but they also tend to be reliable, leveling out between 80-90% above MSRP.

I think 7498 had a nice surge because it was Christmas and because it was a legitimately great set, even for a repeat. I actually like it better than the new Police has it replaced and think it will sell well down the line.

Looks like the fire station is out at a lot of places. It has been two years, could this be the start of EOL? I'm wondering whether this holiday could give a surge to this as the police station 7498 last year.

Couldn't resist at 48 euro and bought two. Will probably end up as gifts.

Great price. But they are hard to move. Patience is the key. You will earn.

Looks like walmart has listed these at 79 now online and in stores.

So pics of the  version are now online and it seems to be a three part building with the garages on either side of the main offices at angles and a larger main fire truck. How do you see this impacting on the older version?

I'm not a big fan of the new fire station, but I do like the ladder truck.  I always preferred 7208 anyway.
