It was already done. The old tower bridge was 4287 pieces and the new one has 4295 pieces to account for some pieces that were out of production. I still think that they're on the last batch and one it's done it's EOL time. 

Let me get this correct...Everything is the same except for 8 extra pcs inside the box and the printing of the # of pcs.

I must have misunderstanded him, because i though he said a brand new bridge.

So. would the newer one with more pcs be worth more?

You think it will matter which one in terms of price?

Since it's somewhat related to this, LEGO has to change the UPC number and item number on the underside of the box anytime the contents of the box are altered in any fashion.

 

They can change anything about the box itself (fixing a printing error, more efficiently sizing the box, changing the art highlights, etc) without changing the UPC or item numbers, so long as the product offered within hasn't been changed from the previous version.

I speculate that he meant the gift book $20 off $100 coupons.

I think the coupons were part of a coupon/gift book sold in schools or by organizations (Boy Scouts, clubs, etc.).  It might have been an East Coast thing, since only 10 or so Lego stores honor them.  People were selling the Lego $5 and $20 off coupons on EBay for $5 - $10 dollars.

Take it with a grain of salt, but two guys at my store today told me that Ewok Village will replace Death Star and that Death Star, SSD, and Tower Bridge will retire at the end of the year.

 

They also said Haunted House would retire but I'm not sure seeing it alone with no other Monster Fighters at the store.

Sounds like they were hoping you'd drop $1200 in their store today... My store has told me the exact opposite on everything but TB. Everyone seems to agree that one will be gone by January.

In my Lego store, I always see these sets on the shelves. I am not sure what to say about their retirement coming up soon.

One can only hope they all retire soon

What's the updated status on these sets?

There is none other than there is a good chance they will be gone by the end of the year. 

I'm 100% sure they are maybe retiring this year.

There will be the chance to see the Haunted House officially sold by amazon european sites?

I like those odds!

Amazon is down to less than 10 TBs. I wonder if they'll restock... Gues I better quit putting it off and pick one up soon.

Yeah I need to get a few more as well.

Why does it matter if Amazon dont even have any to sell?

 

You can still buy 99 of each of these sets on lego UK

You're totally right. Amazon's stock has absolutely no bearing on worldwide supplies whatsoever. If they do sell out, you'd probably be safe waiting another 6 months or so before you invest.

Totally right about what?

Grabbed a tower bridge on amzn....now shows only 3rd party. Wonder if they will reorder.
