KPrevost Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 If you do not have a Haunted House - should you buy one at MRSP? Do you think it will be EOL this year? Quote
TheOrcKing Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 If you do not have a Haunted House - should you buy one at MRSP?Everbody should buy at least one, period. Do you think it will be EOL this year?Maybe. Quote
ship Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Speaking of the haunted house, has it ever been heavily discounted, whats the lowest you've seen this set go for? Also, as the rest of the line is retiring shouldn't we expect this one to be gone soon as well? Quote
stephen_rockefeller Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Amazon had a fire sale last year someone please remind me of the discounted price. I do remember many people received damaged boxes though. Keep in mind that was before the LEGO rule of no discounts on exclusives was put into effect. Also the haunted house is said to be sticking around as the only set from the MF line. It sells to well and is hands down the best set from the line. It will be around for a while to come. Quote
squareBrix Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 The haunted house is a great set & promising as a long term investment. It would be best if you can have it at a discount. But if you can't find a good deal and you're willing to hold it for a long while, purchasing at MSRP may not be too bad. It's unclear whether it's near EOL. It may still stay for quite a while like most modulars. Quote
stephen_rockefeller Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 I think the best anyone is gonna do on this set is getting it when LEGO is doing a double or triple VIP points promo. Quote

jaylay Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 May 30 ... the day when quite a few big sets had a discount ... I snagged 2 for $134 each!! Quote
Guest TabbyBoy Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 I've never seen HH discounted anywhere in the UK apart from LEGO having VIP and 10% off Quote
Bernard74 Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 I've seen this set being discounted once in my country (the Netherlands) during a period in october where all stores had 25% off all lego, including HH. Apparantly the discount came from Lego itself. Quote

I ask this as a newbie. Quote
TheOrcKing Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 is there any history of Lego keeping a theme alive with just one set hanging out by its lonesome? I ask this as a newbie.Lego is still offering the Kingdoms Joust set which is from the retired Kingdoms theme. Sure, it is technically Castle related but the exact series it is from has been gone for a while now yet this set continues to linger on. It also is a Lego exclusive much like the Haunted House is.

marcandre Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Target had it for retail and a free $30 gift card over the holidays. Pretty nice deal. Quote
waddamon Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 I bought 8 on the target deal. I am hoping other exclusives will get the same treatment. Vip de Quote
Bold-Arrow Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Target had it for retail and a free $30 gift card over the holidays. Pretty nice deal. Yup.... Good times. These kind of promotions are the only "discounts" you will get on the HH.. You can keep your eye on Amazon WH, if you don't care too much about the box and want to build one. ( although there is a long list of members itching for that one.) 1 Quote
exciter1 Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 May 30 ... the day when quite a few big sets had a discount ... I snagged 2 for $134 each!! Yep, HH was $134, Arkham Asylum was $119, Horizon Express was $108, and I forget which others were discounted on May 30th? Quote

beartrapper Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Maybe I'm crazy but I traded a Black Peal for a Haunted House. I picked up the BP for $75 at Target and the box was beat up. Quote
weakside Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Here in Canada, locally I was only able to get the HH at 20% off CAN retail price once...haven't seen sale on it for a long time. Good I have a few... Quote
Pseudoty Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 I picked up 6 with the Target $30 GC in my mind it was buy 5 get one free. Plus an additional 5% off on the red card. Have one up on eBay auction started at $99 will see where it ends up. Quote
Mos_Eisley Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 It's not on the wholesale list so it must be retiring soon. I thought it was a prerequisite that this statement was in every thread questioning if an exclusive was going away. Just doing my part. 2 Quote

Guest TabbyBoy Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Would it be on a generic wholesale list if it was an exclusive set? Quote
