September 9, 201411 yr Popular Post I'm holding out for the WVSSD. My sources at Lego just gave me an exclusive sneak peek at this holiday season's second Winter Village release, and it's pretty amazing. On the box, you can see the reindeer-powered, snow-speckled WVSSD suspended above the Winter Village, raining down festive red and green turbolaser bolts on the holiday revelers below... The set has been revealed:
September 9, 201411 yr This Winter Village (really 5-6 polybags thrown together) is going to quietly walk pass people since the Santa set now has the attention. Then when the Winter Village is knocking on EOL's door, panic mode will finally set-in. My magic 8 ball says... As an investor, just buy a few if you would like at least 50% ROI during it's first year alone. People will want this set at the very least to expand / complete their Winter theme collection.

September 9, 201411 yr Author I also don't remember other retailers ever selling these before. Have Winter Village sets sold at Target/Walmart/Amazon before? I was thinking they were exclusives to Lego stores and online. I could very well be wrong, though.
September 9, 201411 yr I haven't been paying attention to the last few releases but the Toy Shop was definitely available from Amazon.

September 9, 201411 yr Every time I set out to acquire this set, I end up buying the VW Camper. good one
October 2, 201411 yr Back in stock at LEGO S @ **** EU, limit of 5! Thanks. That's not a surprise. I only wonder when it will be retired (mid-december ? or sooner ?).
October 2, 201411 yr So there you go, from 'Retired' to 'Available Now' Yep... from now on, "retired" status has zero meaning. Bring on SSD in US!
October 2, 201411 yr It's definitively odd but I'm not sure this rationale applies to other lines, only time will tell...
October 2, 201411 yr My suspicion is that they reallocated some inventory from the US to Europe. It was selling better over there.
October 2, 201411 yr It's definitively odd but I'm not sure this rationale applies to other lines, only time will tell... Well, i could give a benefit of a doubt. I guess they meant TOOS, but accidentally retired it. But we are watching you, TLC!
October 2, 201411 yr It's definitively odd but I'm not sure this rationale applies to other lines, only time will tell... Some sets were already "retired" and then "available". The exosuit, of course, but it's not the only one. Everytime I enter my stockage room, I feel that my TMNT Baxter robot sets are laughing at me. Edited October 2, 201411 yr by biniou

October 2, 201411 yr My suspicion is that they reallocated some inventory from the US to Europe. It was selling better over there. No way. WV sets sell WAY much better in the the US.
October 2, 201411 yr No way. WV sets sell WAY much better in the the US. I'm sure there was demand over there, so they probably kept some of a production run in Europe. I would tend to say Lego isn't really in the business of relocating sets a great distance.
October 2, 201411 yr Well, i could give a benefit of a doubt. I guess they meant TOOS, but accidentally retired it. But we are watching you, TLC! Indeed, we are! =P
October 2, 201411 yr Author Just an FYI, all the Markets I have bought this fall have had '13 codes on them. I'm not sure they made another run for this holiday season and are just moving out what didn't sell last year. Maybe somebody can prove me wrong with new codes, but I have not seen any yet and have received them from LEGO Shop at Home and Amazon. I that's the case, could sell out soon and be much lower stocked than the others. AFAIK, this has been the only WV set to not go out of stock after the holiday season in the US and it's very possible they didn't make a bunch more after seeing poor sales in its initial run. I'm just theorizing right now, if there are '14 codes that you have seen, I have wasted time typing.
