Removed  a couple bricks from the bottom row on the back and put in 2 LEDs (pre-wired with resistor).  9V battery that is going to have a lego housing built for it.  Looks really cool in the dark.

Lego have just  canceled my  order for this,  as apparently demand exceeds supply. I've replaced my order with toys r us

How many did you order? Here it's on backorder with limit 10.

It's on Back Order in the UK so is probably for the chop soon. It's quite a cute set and I do have a few stashed away. John Lewis have 19 in stock which isn't many.

That's weird. It seems to be similar to my experience ordering WALL-E yesterday. That set was available when I ordered it but then I got an e-mail telling me it's on backorder. I guess LEGO Shop at Home still has potential for improvement.

Just so you know, I placed the order on the last day of the London bus promo. I ordered the architecture Big Ben (small one) and Trevi fountain. Big Ben and the London bus shipped a couple of days ago and the Trevi fountain cancelation email arrived today

Now I'm tempted to order a Trevi Fountain myself, just to see what happens.

If you do, please let me know how you get on

John Lewis have only sold 1 online since yesterday. I'll hang on for some voucher codes before I buy any more.

Get it elsewhere then. SAH are allowing backorder but they are cancelling them so don´t wait too long or you´ll struggle to find it  in any shop if it does retire.

Yeah I have, like I said up there ^, right after lego canceled my order

And back in the SAH shop...

Has anyone received a Trevi Fountain from a recent order yet? I wonder why they were taking orders while not being able to fulfill them, and now it's said to be back in stock - so DO they or DON'T they have sets in the warehouses to ship to customers at the moment?

They need to develop a "We have no idea what we are doing" tag for SAH. Trouble is it would become the default. No use calling them to check, they are closed today. Is it a public holiday in North Korea?

OOS - call to check availability USA shop at home . 

I can see this going up to around £70-80 before fees/tax etc within several months (that would be a promising start). I think this may have caught a few of the usual mega-horde off guard.

Caught some off guard, not me.

Hi,

I can get 3 x 21020 Trevi Fountain for 34.15 euros each, take it or leave it ?

Thanks

It's only a question you can answer and I know what I would do! Do your own research and look at recent sold prices and this should give you some indication of future performance. However, don't miss the selling window as prices can fall as well as rise. A bit like a "parabola" ;-)

This along with the White House and Lincoln Memorial is the most prolific set I have. I went in H-U-G-E on these.

Thanks TabbyBoy, I know you got a "few", I know it's retired and I know it sells for 60-70 euros at the moment from what I see and can hope for 100 soonish maybe.

So it isn't bad price and shouldn't stay in the cupboard for too long.

Just to be sure, since I am not convinced by now: Did you buy many Trevis?

Yes, you could say that ;-) Don't worry, I want top $ on eBay so no QFLLing from me!

If I get back into it next year, the Eiffel Tower is next on my hit list.

21020 TV has recently been selling for AUD 150.00 in Australia which is about £88 (already 3.5x my buy-in). This is why I'll be listing mine Worldwide. If the Aussies want to pay through the nose, it may as well be my nose, right?

The 21006 WH will be another biggie I think.
