They were never heavily discounted, <35% Still available in stores in the Netherlands and Germany

 

Except here in the US where they sat at Targets at 50% off for seemingly ever! I still have a small mountain that I hope someday to make a little bit of money on. Nice set, but every Tom, ****, and Harry has at least a few if not a bunch stashed away.

Heavily discounted in the UK, my average buy in was 46% retail and I wasn’t trying too hard, if you’d been creative, you could probably have got them for 35% retail. I’d move all of mine at retail today, but as they’re still available in store, that’s a stretch. Thankfully I only have 10.

Looks like the gamble paid off, I went in really big with Disney minifigures, manage to get most of mine during 3 for 2, hopefully now series 2 disney will not be the same characters

Some of the characters like Mickey, Minnie, Donald etc are immensly popular and I can't see them not being redone, albeit in some sort of new clothing or print

Thats just pure speculation though, my own opinion.

I think that is reasonable to expect.  Similar to series 2 of the Simpsons, where they made a rehash of Marge, Homer, Maggie, Lisa, and Bart, I would almost expect them to do the same with Donald, Mickey, Minnie, and Daisy.

My only 'concern' now is how soon season 2 makes an appearance. As happy as I am to see these retire it does seem a some what strange decision by Lego based on the recent release of 71040. I'm banking on selling a few sets to parents who want them to accompany the castle as a Xmas present, however if we see a quick release of series 2 they may not be as popular as we hope...

Complete sets have been selling for £70-80, I personally don't think they'll go any higher than 3xRRP  (£135), these should be £100 by Xmas, so good time to start dumping then.

I like buying complete sets of minifigures via Bricklink. I have quite some complete sets of Disney and dfb and will put them on ebay during Christmas I think. I think I'll sell half of the sets for double the money I payed.  That way I have my money back and can put the rest in longterm storage.

Just a reminder, but as per our new rules, we are not allowed discussion of Lepin and other knock off brands.

Don't worry - we know this is a new policy for us.  Grace period for now, but we will start issuing warnings and suspensions if rules aren't followed.  Thank you.

75899 LaFerrari retired at LEGO Shop at Home.de 

Same in the UK. Currently only TRU, Argos & John Lewis have them in stock from what I can see. I won't bite unless £7 or less ;-)
