legotrader Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 How long do sets like the Grand Emporium(10211) stay in production? I noticed that some of the older Town modular sets like the Cafe Corner(10182) are selling for over $1000 on EBAY. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lego-10182-Cafe-Corner-NEW-/320781576179?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4ab01267f3#ht_596wt_1040 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lego-City-Town-10182-Cafe-Corner-New-Sealed-/300537352140?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item45f96c0fcc#ht_581wt_905 WOW!

Ed Mack Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Most Lego sets seem to stick around a year or two. Some of the the more popular sets like the Death Star(10188) have been around 4+ years already and doesn't seem to be getting retired anytime soon. As for the modular Town sets, yes, they bring back big money after a few years of being discontinued. The Pet Shop(10218), Grand Emporium(10211) and Fire Brigade(10197) all look like a future appreciation winners! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johncrumpton Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Looks like the fire brigade will be discontinued in the next 6 months. Speaking to staff at a Lego store today models are in production for 2 years then remain on the market for another year while stocks last. So 3 years on average.

So 3 years on average.I agree with the Fire Brigade prediction. It's been around since 2009 and it's not in the new catalog. See ya. ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johncrumpton Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 How many are you planning to buy? I'm thinking at least 4 judging by Cafe Corner prices makes this series a good investment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have one already. I might buy another if I can find a deal. Maybe a Toys r Us BOGO 50% off deal if they are in stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
