I think they intermittently retired Winter Village Cottage like this as well, before bringing it back last year for it's final run.

you mean WVC had actual "retired" tag??

I am 100% sure, that WVC was available the whole year 2013 without "retired" notice.

This situation with WVM is a precedent.

Pardon me for asking but why do we think this set matters? Looking at the numbers for the last 3 retired WV sets, I wasn't impressed.

Yep... nothing can stand close to RI...

Lol, no seriously, do we think this set is going to do well after EOL?

If this is the last year for the WVM, I think it will do just fine in retirement.  The limit of 2 at Shop at Home US is similar to what they did with the WVC about this time last year and it was gone for good by mid-December.  I will be looking to pick up a couple next month with double VIP and the holiday bonus set which will net me a nice discount.

Quit trolling.  Each and every one of these sets has at least doubled within a year or two of EOL, 3x+ with the Toy Shop.  The Cottage will easily surpass $200 this holiday season.  If those numbers don't impress you, then you are trolling.  Research Institutes, Zombies, these are 1 in a 1000 type set.  If you think this is the norm, you are out of your mind.

You don't know what troll means do you? You are making a whole bunch of assumptions about what I am saying. I was just asking a gd question if it offends you so gd much don't read it and respond.

 

Just forget it. Thanks for the help jack off

I think anything that has to do with the winter village theme is gold, I mean look at how much the freebies go for and it's a fun theme that anyone can enjoy. Im personally bummed that I missed out on the majority of them because I'd die to have them for my collection but it's nearly impossible for me to find any of the retired ones for a decent price haha.

I'm well aware of what it means.  Saying dumb things to get a rise out of people.  It's also my job here to respond to things said and people that make this site more cluttered with nonsense than it needs to be.  Your name seems to pop up for the latter quite a bit. 

 

Also, I won't forget it.  You'd never call me a jack off to my face, I guarantee it.

The damage RI has done to "investors"... Oh the humanity :(

That'd be for US LEGO Shop at Home

Sir...you don't know jack.  The Winter Village sets on average have around a 30% CAGR.  That's pretty impressive.

If they (TLC) had the plan to make it available again, what exactly was the point of marking it retired across entire Europe? To promote sales by big retailers in Europe? That would smell like bribery or some sort of market manipulation...

"You don't know jack" is American slang for basically..."You know nothing/You are wrong."  The term jack off is somewhat of an insult in the US.  Not a major one, because I call every driver on the road one and my 4 year old son repeats it.  LOL

ehehehhe ok, thanks

I am debating whether to get one 10235 this month in the US , so i can get the vintage astronaut or is it better to wait for double VIP points. I already have one astronaut on the way (order status says back ordered for GE and astronaut).
