Lobot Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 It's also sold out online at Smyths - total of 179 currently in store (plus a few stragglers!) Hopefully it won't be too long before all retail stock is cleared out - I think this will do well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping so, usually a peak mid to end jan then roller coaster until levels out in the U.K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Secret Squirrel Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 Still can be purchased here on the bay at 171€ brand new. If only just sold out then this will be why as was £139.95 RRP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't actually. Pet shop did very poorly initially (only very recently has it gone over £200), and put a lot of people off modulars. Palace Cinema also took a long time to come good (but has now). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lowest price for Pet Shop on the bay in Germany is 270€, for Palace Cinema 250€. Pet Shop gets a lot of hate but here it has almost tripled if you bought for 100€. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expecations not met 3. Storage space limits 4. Puchase price was rarely 100E as most hoarded when the dance started and then TLG extended retirement date 5. Release date 2011... https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?S=10218-1#T=P But you are right, 7% CAGR is a nice rate well above TB10Yr !!!

That's the case with a lot of sets, but people still like to single out the Pet Shop for no reason. It has still done better than a lot of sets. It's your own fault if you over-buy a certain set or you buy it too early, no reason to blame the set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah you're right that there are many duds out there that did worse, but Pet Shop should be compared to those I think. Anyhow, I was just trying to help by resetting the context of many years ago as I've been along for a while now.

brickvoyeur Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Just now, $20 on joe vs dan said: thanks seems like there is one perrenial...Parisian before and now Assembly Square there's 1 that's soon to retire (Diner) and two "active": Corner Garage and Bookstore that would suggest next year's diner is the Corner Garage There is always a corner set available. So far the sets have released in this order: Corner, Straight, Straight, Corner, Straight, Straight, Corner, Straight, Straight, Corner, Straight, Straight, Corner, Straight, Straight So a corner building next year. Garage is toast. They're overdue for a double retirement. But AS sells too well to kill it off... so Garage will likely go alone. The buy in on it isn't great, but it will have as long of a life as Brick Bank/Downtown Diner has. Which were only on the shelves ~3 months longer than the Town Hall. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
