Do you know why only one store got this set?

My best guess is that we get sooo many European tourists this time of year. Especially on week days. I stopped by the hotel on Wednesday and no body was speaking English in the lobby, many different languages.

Otherwise, no idea. But Give me the address of the person who made that decision and I'll send them a Thank you! Card.

I went to Legoland, FL, only got 15. No eyebrow raised.

It seems to be WHEN you get it, and who is at the register. If it's a Lead (like an Assistant manager) they're pretty cool. But the regular people have to get approval from a lead before selling in quantities. If they're lazy, they'll just say no. And if you ask for it by the case, they get suspicious. =)

Ok.
Which one of you is it?
Who's undercutting me on BL?
Completely unnecessary.
30 secs of market research will show that 40252 sells like McRibs at $32.99
There's no justification for selling under $30, except laziness.
I'm watching you ;(

Buy all of them in 1 go, then add them to your stash and relist for $39.99.

Can anybody guess or speak of out of experience how long the availability of such a Promo set in Legoland stores will last and what such a regular availability might do to the set's value/demand long-term?

I´d say checking Ebay on Tuesday evening you will have your answer.

No, because neither will Legoland make a statement about the planned shelf-life of the set on Tuesday evening nor will we get to know about the effects of retail availability on long-term value/demand of the set based on the according effects in past cases. That's why I was asking for people's experience regarding those questions.

Fine, but Legoland is a drop in the ocean as it is only in a few countries. The thousands of unit bought in stores and on SAH will determine the value and whether TLG reissue it at a later date.

It will be interesting to see how much it sells for on ebay when it becomes massively available - 20 euros is usually the marker.

Thanks for your view on it. You're also right with the last past of course.

Based on current eBay sales and BL sales, the prices are starting to trickle in at around $20-$23 on average.  Given how long the promo will last, it wouldn't be unusual for the prices to drop further.

Sorry, @donbee, but it seems the market's invisible hand is going to assert its control.  Fun ride while it lasted.

.. I just bought a few things like Mighty Micros (cause I enjoy the minifigs and some of the pieces) just to get one of these. I don't care about reselling or value or whatever. Just wanted an excuse to buy Mighty Micros :P

I'm using this as an excuse to get 5x Brickheadz and a keychain.

I sold almost 300 at $32.
The last 15 I sold last week at $25.
Haven't sold any this week, still listed at $25, but I'm not surprised. It was definitely fun while it lasted. Made some new friends at LL, maybe an enemy too...
