Guest ph4tb0i Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I just built this set with my sons the other day. I must Say this was the most enjoyable set that I have put together. Having different segments made it feel like you are going faster. It didn't feel as tedious as some of the modulars feel and really looks awesome when it's completed. As an adult builder that's what I like about the city sets. There are days when I just want to do some small simple builds and it's fun to open a city set to just build a couple of things. I think your experience really reminds me of when I built 8404. That was an awesome set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waddamon Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 I think i am going to start pursuing this one soon. I really like it and the price point fits my investment model. Time to start looking for deals on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ciglione Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 It is now on sale again on amazon.es (Spain) for 77 euro. I never ordered from amazon.es but this might become my first time. I also expect this one will disappear soon and seeing it is a nice set which cannot be missed in anyones city setup. I see some investment potential here. I still wake up all sweaty in the night when I have nightmares about not buying that public transport set when I saw it for 80 euro about a year ago.

It came in the standard box within a few days, so the same as ordering it from Amazon.co.uk. In fact I suspect it was dispatched from my local Amazon depot (there's one approx 20km away [pity they do not do Click and Collect]) because it came so quickly and was in such good condition.

I ordered 2 of them from amazon.es a few weeks ago. They were in perfect condition! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ebjazzz Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Really wanted to pick this up at TRU during their 20% coupon period! however it's a "Hot Price" item and didn't qualify. $120 is just too steep no matter how nice the set is. At sub $95 I'd be a buyer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At sub $95 I'd be a buyer. It was $75 on Black Friday and you could use a $10 gift card coupon and a bonus 10% off on Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glucapg Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 At LEGO Shop at Home Usa is CALL TO CHECK....is it going EOL? At LEGO Shop at Home italy is BRIGHTING AVAILABLE NOW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veegs Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 That would be a really short production run. My guess is that another batch will be made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebjazzz Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 I finally cracked and picked on up for myself after the transformers event on Saturday. It was no longer Hot Priced so I was able to get 20% off. Given how it's been OOS at most of my local TRUs I wanted to get one. Built it yesterday - quite a nice set.

Neosphinx Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Is this one on its way out? Dried up in Belgian shops. Has some cool vehicles, nice gadgets, windows and some fun stickers. Seems not bad. Has been discounted but not that much. Is relatively expensive for mass buying and has the stigma of being city in eyes of many investors. Limited to 10 on LEGO Shop at Home, the only shop I know still has it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Limited to 10 on LEGO Shop at Home, the only shop I know still has it. I don't think so. The set was released in August 2013 and I would say that it has at least 6-9 more months before it goes EOL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember TRU keeping the last big City exclusive (Public Transport - at least I think it was exclusive) in stock long after S&**** sold it (at least up here in Canada). Now is not a bad time to start thinking about picking them up if/when a decent sale arrives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a good deal, but I don't know if that kind of deal will happen this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neosphinx Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 I was just watching Public Transport and saw it was released in august 10 and retired in december 11. Town Square was released in august 13. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sets look very similar, but I'm still not convinced that the set will retire by this Christmas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neosphinx Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 If you look at Public Transport and it's value. Is it safe to say that we can expect the same for Town Square or is there anything that Public Transport has more? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would expect the Town Square to sell around $200-$225 2-3 years after EOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's something that cool that misses for me in Town Square. The statue is bomb but statue vs tram hmm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that this set is better than the Public Transport set, but not by much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
