Which is what the set will do to your wallet if you buy it.

I'd say that: 

GBH = Gingerbread House

FHQ = Firehouse Headquarters (also known as GBHQ or Ghostbusters Headquarters)

I wait patiently for the Olivia's Motor Garage, Friends Fire Station and the Star Hopper Imperial Transport.

*sigh*

Ahh yes I forgot about the gingerbread house.....GBH was what we used before that little gold nugget was released. Guess we better use GBHQ. 

Between Ginger Bread Headquarters, Star Workshop & Santa's Wars sometimes it gets a little confusing...

I'm buying all my exclusives within the first seal code from here on out. Maybe a couple on known last.  I agree, not only this set but many are going to be victims of hoarding past first code.

You know, there´s a reason Lego put 5 digit numbers on the boxes

And for really simple folk that's why they have pictures...?

so from now on let´s just post set box stock photos - it will save everyone a whole heap of time.

^ Sorry about that garbage.

The PS has been available for 1664 days, second to the GE which was out 1687 days. The end may be near.

Throw out ms and there is a clear patter to retirement. I have my # of PS. I am not even starting to think about any modulars beyond that.

I've moved onto the PC. 

Although I accidentally won a used PS last week.

I'm tempted to order one more tonight to get a GBH.

Might night have a chance next month. Fingers crossed...

I was at the Potomac Mills, Virginia, BAM this morning, where one of the employees is newer, chatty, and not jaded from dealing with us reseller scum.  An AFOL was trying to get intel on the Red Fives and Death Star, and then conversation moved over to the Exclusives. I missed what she was saying regarding Tower Bridge versus Sydney Opera House, though I think she was pushing Tower Bridge as expected to go before SOH. However, the worst thing she said (I hope my ears deceived me) was that Pet Shop was being extended through next year. Something to the effect of with 2 having been retired last year and only 1 being added next year, TLG decided that they wanted to have more modulars around at the same time and so decided to extend it. If so, should we rename it Pet Star or Death Shop?

If that's true, then PS will highly likely retire around November/December next year. Except if the demand for PS increases so much that TLG decides that the Palace Cinema is the better candidate for retirement.  

Happy New Year again, Pet Shop. May you retire before the champagne goes flat.

Popped into my local Lego Store on the way home and saw a load of shiny PS.  staff said they were new shipment.  Seals were 49S5.  looks like they're still on the production line.  At this rate I think PC may be retired first!

Happy New Year to all and poop to PS investors!

I think the versatility of the PS being two separate buildingsmakes it a much more attractive buy for those looking for massive house rows, whereas the PC is a corner building with limited versatility (though I do like the style of it quite a bit). 

Based on this, I say PC goes first.
