I'd rather speculate and not tip them off to anything (as many LEGO employees in Denmark are reading this).  My 2 cents...

Dearest Lego Denmark Employee:

I hope this post found you well.  We just want to let you know that all the purchases revolving around the Town Hall in the last week do not reflect the true demand for this set.  The set still sucks, so please retire it.

 

Yours Truly,

"Dear Lego,

 

     As a neurotic, truly obsessed collector, I only want to own a Lego set like, hypothetically, a Town Hall, if I can be assured that it is a 'first edition'.  Please tell me how I can determine this from the seal codes.

 

Sincerely,

 

Not An Investor"

Dear Neurotic Collector,

 

What are seal codes?

GhostDad I like your post and glad you have volunteered to be the one to call LEGO Shop at Home

I though the 39 refers to the week of the year, and R4 is 2014, no?

 

R = Ci

R = Ci

i am afraid we don't have enough historic data to know if "skipped runs" ever happened before

 

It may be interesting to add a "known seals codes" section in the Price guide... there's some space under the "brickfolio inventory" line...

 

 

It means that last run was at least two weeks long.

 

Are we really sure of that ?

Can't a run begin on wednesday (week 38), and stop on tuesday (week 39) ?

Or, to take to the extreme, on saturday (week 38) and stop on monday (week 39) ? So it would be 2 days, instead of 2 weeks...

 

I think the production runs can begin whenever in a week. It does make so much sense to me, considering we're talking about big factories.

Employees simply put the "seals of the week" on sets when everything's done. But I agree that there's certainly some kind of a schedule like "ok, this week we'll produce more TH !"

I don't know if anyone posted this earlier, TH currently OOS with estimated shipping date of Oct 30th at LEGO Shop at Home EU, GE as well.

4/nov

Yeah probably because everybody who invests in them is buying now (2xVIP-Points).

 

This will be an interesting year I guess.

sell. the TH will have much more growth left than the Maersk trains

Has anyone cross referenced these codes with the Mayan calendar?

I believe, it is there, where we shall find our answers.

10224 = EOL 22.10.2014 !!!

10224 = EOL 22.10.2014 !!!

 

That would be great.  If only it were that simple!

 

In the interim I shall continue to stockpile the Town Hall

Are you sure? When and where did you get the memo? Is your source reliable?

I am really getting crazy here. What should I buy? 10228 HH? 10224 TH? My original plan was to stockpils the 10241 Maersk Triple E. Should I put that on hold? R2-D2 also seems to slowly vanish. My goal was to have at least 4 of each. I have 4 HH's but still am not satisfied. I have only one TH and two Triple E's.

 

This game is getting really confusing!

 

Buy.... all

First Haunted House, R2D2 (gone from collishop) then Town Hall (collishop stock is still adequate)

Oh yeah, collishop is giving 15% on all so town hall 159*0.85 = 135.15

Good luck to find some HH at MSRP. It's selling for 270

Just making sure you got what he was saying

 

Set # = 10224   Retirement Date = 102214 (add the 1 in)  Is it code?  Joke
