HHs rolling in from LEGO Shop at Home all 28R4 from mexico. 

[Neosphinx]

Really seems HH is done in the Eurozone. 

[glucapg]

In the LEGO Shop at Home Italy has passed from TOOS to "Out of stock, expected ship date 16 Oct 2014"

Hey Guys,

 

Fairly new to all this. In the UK and have been watching Haunted House on the Lego shop. Up until a few days ago the listing for HH said 'Temporarily Unavailable'. It came back in stock for like 2 days so I got one. Now it says 'Sold out'. Is this a sign of EOL or might it still come back?

 

Cheers

Andy

Glad I ordered another one rather than waiting for October promos. Will be interesting to see what happens to the Amazon / eBay prices now which have been hovering around

Finally took the plunge and bought my first one. Its EOL in my region. Got 10% discount for damaged box so ended up paying $210. I am probably going to open it to build though

I did the same as soon as it has been available again on LEGO Shop at Home.

I did not want to upset  guys [edit: european guys] waiting for double VIP points in october but it was obvious for me that the stock would not last until then.

 

Take on you glasses, and be ready to see it skyrocket.

I would rather have a ge over the hh. That is for resale. The hh build is way better, but the hh is not part of an ongoing series and that is a big strike against it.

The Grand Carousel was not part of any series so it's supposed to be cheap. Oh wait...

 

The truth is that people recognise awesomeness, regardless of series.

At least we are all entitled to put opinions.

It seems that it was the last month to get the HH, so it was the priority.

 

I'll get some more GE next month.

i agree that folks care about sets themselves instead of just associated theme. 

 

HH is part of the Creator Exclusives and Monster Fighters themes.

 

The vast majority of advanced sets in the 2000s weren't officially associated with themes.  Lego did move many sets under Creator theme as sub-themes.

Subthemes:

Modular Buildings

Designer

Exclusives

TECHNIC

IMO HH will easily outperform GE. The reasons being HH was available to buy for 2 years vs 4.5 years for GE. Secondly GE is way more hoarded by resellers than HH (most were expecting HH to last at least 3 years if not longer). There are 301 HH on bricklink vs 1130 for GE. Thirdly HH has alot rarer pieces and colors and costs more to bricklink. Lastly at least in ******. America HH is going to be that one iconic set every household will want to display on Halloween. It will be as sought after as Grand Carousel, Taj Mahal, etc. There will always be another retail corner modular down the road. Another Haunted House? It is possible but highly unlikely a lego haunted house will ever be done again on this scale. 10228 IMO will be the only recent set to duplicate the returns we enjoyed during the golden age of lego collecting.
