Seems like a lot of 4-digit set numbers are being culled.

I've noticed that, especially at the Supermarkets. They only stock the 5 digit sets.

Do people think this one will be a good investment set?

It should do ok as an investment. Really the only one of its kind, for now, and that says something for a popular theme like City.

The last City Garage set from awhile back has done alright.  I'd say solid but not spectacular investment potential.  TRU exclusive, too, and I've had a tough time getting these with any kind of serious discount.  I'm holding out hope for a good sale from TRU...

It should do well with the $66 price point that TRU had during the 2013 holiday season.  If you're buying at MSRP of $120 (or heaven forbid TRU's retail price of $140), it will take awhile.

Yes, the old city garage 7642 was $99 and is now going for close to (and in some cases over) $200. I don't think that one was a TRU exclusive either but I could be wrong. This new one was going for over $150 for a while until everyone was able to get them for $66 from TRU. Since then the price has plummeted. Seems like those people who are ok with making a smaller profit started listing them for lower to undercut the next guy and so on and so on. I have a feeling the price will go back up quickly though.

Use search in shop@home. It's marked as retired product. Retiring soon also marked. Your information could be wrong.

It shows Retiring soon for me too.

Here's the S@H US listing:

It is not.  Though based on how it is listed, I expect it will flip to "Retired Product" soon.

It's listed at 30% off in the UK, but unfortunately it is sold out.

Is this a bull board spreading lies? Guys, this is available at all TRU so please, do your research before pumping out the wrong news.

I can buy this now with 15% off and I won't do it because this set won't go up that much.

I got a couple of these for $66 on that awesome deal before Christmas.  I'm curious to see how it does in 1-2 years since I don't normally buy and hold City sets, except for the select few which I have acquired at >50% discounts.

Calm down, it's pretty common for sets to hit retired on S@H while they are still available at other retailers and even LEGO Stores. They don't call every store in the world to check current inventory. When S@H runs out and goes to retired product, the set can be considered retired since it is no longer being produced and whatever is left in the wild is about all that's left.

You need to get your facts straight.  Retired sets specifically mean they are marked as "Retired Product" on LEGO Shop at Home site.  Meaning LEGO stops the production, BUT it does NOT mean the stocks at retailers have been depleted.  Technically, LEGO can stop the production right after sending multiple pallets to TRU, Walmart, etc.  In this scenario, the set will be marked "Retired" at LEGO but Walmart will still have tons of copies on the shelves.

We aren't spreading lies on this bull board? That is what I have been doing...

 

Well this is awkward.

I knew I shouldn't have put all my money into POP after you said it was going to skyrocket in value...

Plz search "retired product" at shop@home search, you can see the list which includes 4207. It's marked as retired, just not showing the flag.
