Expand I think so as prices are already climbing on eBay and some retailers are running out. I did buy some during Tesco's first 3-for-2 sale to cover myself. If the Trevi Fountain is anything to go by, this should do well. Quote

Expand I do but, I forgot to add one thing to an earlier message.... I am only keeping my Architecture sets and the best IDEAS sets as I have a gut feeling that some of these will hit 3x by next year and, since they're small sets, I haven't got to worry about storage. However, when I said that I wasn't buying any more, I meant it and have only bought sets for Xmas presents. Apart from my retired/retiring Architecture/IDEAS sets, the rest will be gone by the weekend as the offer on these was only RRP ;-) I may be daft but, I'm not stupid. Quote

Val-E Posted December 13, 2016 Posted December 13, 2016 Don´t think this one is retiring yet. There are now very few Architecture sets that are not cityscapes and one would imagine this is a best seller. I think it could have a 3-4 year lifecycle. Quote

Expand You could be right since the White House lasted a long time and has actually shown immediate growth which tells me that there's high (pun intended) hopes for the Eiffel Tower. It's only the most famous commemorative tower in the World so, how can it possibly fail? Of course, I filled my boots big-time when Tesco has these on 3-for-2. I'm not a fan of the sh1tty-scapes TBH and I only bought Venice when Amazon had it for £12.99 during a lightning deal. The only wrong with talking about Architecture on here is that the "BP horde" will soon be on the case. Guys... Don't listen to me, the theme is crap and don't buy any! ;-) Quote
TANV Posted December 13, 2016 Posted December 13, 2016 I work in the Architecture field so as far as I'm concerned, La Tour d'Eiffel will always be a winner. Quote
