If the likes of TRU get their grubby hands on it, don't expect much growth, if any. I'll buy just one for my collection in 2018 (I'm having 2017 off!). Seems like most Exclusives are lego SAH exclusive for 3 to 6 months i.e. death star is now available at Smyths Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will always see that when you decide not to buy a set or buy it later it turns out to be a Lego Exclusive with a 12 month life and you miss out on it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZULU Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 (edited) Not sure I like it enough. Was in Lyon for business and checked the local store. They had plenty and showcased in the window. Looks expensive for a modular with a bite in. Anyways, couldn't resist asking for a Trevi Fountain as they will have a far higher IRR anyways. The store manager told me the archtecture set was phased out, just like every architecture set will be rolling over every 6months! Nothing left in stock. I could barely keep the poker face ?. Retirements chaining every 6 month !!!! Imagine that! Edited January 6, 2017 by ZULU 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diablo2112 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Instant classic. Absolutely incredible build. So many Easter eggs referencing other Lego sets, including all the prior modulars. Easily the finest modular yet. Really rewards long-term fans that are familiar with others in the series. No less than *9* detailed interior rooms, each a tiny little masterpiece. 100% home-run from Lego, thank you! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pseudoty Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 (edited) Anyone hear of pending availability in the USA from other retailers? If I don't win one tomorrow in the BP raffle will need to buy one this set needs to be built. Edited February 7, 2017 by Pseudoty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

$20 on joe vs dan Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 My family is in the middle of this build and it's amazeballz the combination of rooms and details...can't take your eyes away..even half complete my 8 year old is filming a mini movie and story telling on it. I know it's actually a rehash of past sets and in that case, many may view it as a copycat frenkenstein...but this being our first modular, it was a great intro. They packed so much into one set...the only thing that rivals it is obviously Ninjago City...which btw way has almost doubled in price since retiring 4 months ago. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MotorCityMuscle Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 if you could buy it for retail would you? it's got to come back again at some point, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcandre Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 It will be back. No guarantee it retires this year either. Last modular I bought in bulk at rrp was GE. Discounts have been easier to come by since then. Should be the same here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDK...w/ the recent disclosure (since removed) that LEGO is cutting back production, and the clear supply chain issues in general globally...and the concerns of unemployment dampening future sales...those tea leaves point to LEGO retiring sets aggressively. The ones that have been available for awhile are likely on the short list...IMO 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
