10228 - Haunted House

[biniou]

I'm joking, again, and I'm not very good at it.

Ah ah, it's a good one ! ^^

Thanks for your reply, I'm having a good night...

BTW because there was some (known) problems with some green bricks, I was wondering if the problem was in the 2012 and 2014 sets.

 

Note that I have 2013 and 2014 sets, and I was planning to sell 2014 first because of your post. ^^

Oh please please please let them ship mine! I need to make an offering to the fulfillment gods.

I got one on September 1st which is on its way. Threw in another order for HH last night to get another spaceman as I have enough things I want next month. Of course this is the extra scary Canadian version

It's sold out at LEGO Shop at Home US.

newbie question sorry..do you think at this point in time a tumbler for haunted house is a fair trade?

[Sauromosis]

Did SSD or GE ever hit sold out and then come back?

They did, but we are too close to end of year for reappearance, i would think

Yes...

If both sides agree, then in current circumstances I would consider it a fair deal. But with 1 year ahead expectations, i would think HH is in better position than tumbler

It will come back into stock.  Maybe for a minute...Maybe for an hour...Maybe for a day...Maybe for a week...But they all usually come back into stock for a short time after the initial "Sold Out."  After the remaining stock is accounted for and sold, the set usually retires shortly thereafter.  For some sets, this process takes a few days...others a few months.  I would think the HH is on the cusp of retirement.

I hope so. After looking at what I have spent this year, I could really use one of these big sets to go nuts at xmas this year.

After seeing the SSD do that and then flip to retired weeks later, I'm going to do my darndest to get another if they become available again.

Just an observation, Target did not increase their price on HH like they do for DS, T1, GE, SC... maybe they run out of stock too quick to do so or simply forgot?

thanks NMM. anyways its a moot point now i had managed to put in an order for 4 tumblers via wbshop earlier today, but they all just got cancelled due to out of stock.

luckily was able to order 2 HH's from US site in past week and 1 HH to my australian family an hr ago. that will probably have to be sufficient!

[Sandwraith]

For any Canadians looking to grab a few more (albeit at a markup) TRU.ca still has 7 or so. They had 14 this morning, so they're going fast!

I don't think Target raises its price on every retiring set, probably because they didn't have any inventory to raise it on.

Hi all, just curious how you guys buy so many sets if it is limited to just 2 per household address?

Target limit of 8 with redcard discount and $ 30 gift card last year. They allowed multiple orders. Those were good times...sigh.

yes

[terrymc4677]

I only have 13 and was waiting until October to get a few more. Perhaps ending up with 13 haunted houses was meant to be. That number seems to fit that set quite well.

[sopranos]

In Europe it is available again, with delivery date 16. October.

[anolian]

Looks like toysrus CA is sold out. They had 6 one minute 0 the next..should not of hesitated.

[Locutus001]

If anybody does mind: It's also available at the German Online Store ^.^

[anolian]

Does anyone think the other monster fighter sets will start to increase in value. If so what one would be a good buy?

I think they will just because the time of year too. I like the 9466 Crazy Scientist for investment. 

[emazers]

Well Hopefully these will come back at Lego now and then, but looking at the Post and people listing how many Haunted Houses they have gotten looks like most have missed out on another big buck set down the road, and there is no way I would be selling these at Christmas.  Ed
