So, now T1 can retire.

Lego cannot permit two campers on the shelves.

There's two different models there; where's the third?

Don´t let the cat out of the bag - I feel T1 is a hidden gem and now everyone will be buying it.

It´s a remake of the first model. Lego are now masters of self parody.

Anyone know why some of the new sets are showing up on LEGO Shop at Home as "coming soon - Nov. 25" (such as Modular Skate House and Outback Adventures) and some aren't (Surfer Van, Modular Winter Vacation)?

They've already had several campers on the shelves at the same time:

60057 (These performed brilliantly after I bought a bunch from Boots during their 3-for-2 and clubcard promotion and voucher code!)

10220

I think 10220 has years to go yet. Every time I go into John Lewis, I see later seal codes on the shelves. By the time it does retire, it may not reach RRP after fees. I sold 20 at a small loss last year and I'm thinking of getting rid of the rest before Xmas. Such a great set could prove to be the biggest investment turkey to date.

The only chance for 10220 to do well is if it retires quickly untagged, but we'll still have to wait years for the QFLLs to run out.

Webmaster coffee break.

I don't know... They're still not listed on LEGO Shop at Home. I think for some reason they're being released later. When official photos were being leaked for other new sets, all we had for Surfer Van and Modular Winter Vacation were blurry photos of a catalog.

But then, I don't know how the release cycle normally works.

And the box shot is now also available:

Now I get why they were so shy about showing photos of the third model.

I keep reading this as the sunshine smurf van.

That was my though exactly as well when I saw the 3rd model on the box!

Tubular.

[CathyVT]

Any idea when this will be available?

Long overdue Spicoli set finally here!

Been waiting for this review.
