Guest TabbyBoy Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 I love this set and I'm determined to build mine when I have more time to relax next week with a few beers to hand. It'll look great on our lounge windowsill pulling into the station, but I just hope nobody breaks the window and steals it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villager Chris Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 Lego must have produced a bucket load of trains, thinking that Autumn hype would shift them all by now. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-4907012/John-Lewis-unveils-10-Christmas-toys.html Should have been a £120 set with the power functions included. People don't like paying twice. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val-E Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 It´s done for another year so we have 9 months to flip them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emazers Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 Don't understand why would you want to flip these for the next 9 months and make a few dollars, and what spend a thousand or more to buy them again, The Holiday Train will always be a great seller for years to come, I have 25 and may get more next October or so. My advice is hold on to the ones you got, unless you got yourself in a hole buying stuff you should have never gotten and need the money to Pay off those credit card bills, which I am sure many have done that.

Ed This set is coming back in October (Lego retire them here) and there will be discounts next time round too. Better to have this set making money during that time than sitting in a loft. WTS is done for good, or till the next remake so that one is a keeper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spot on correct as one of my fellow Britons on here says "rinse and repeat" I sold one in august for £95. Sold it as I had to clear space and knew I could re-buy.

thebluewizard Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Putting aside all the "faux controversy" regarding Lego's relaunch of this set, it has done pretty well. CAGR of 31.61% since I bought the set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
