Val-E Posted December 13, 2014 Posted December 13, 2014 By the way my seal codes are 42s4 so there has been a recent production run. Is it done now, though? Quote
biniou Posted December 13, 2014 Posted December 13, 2014 (edited) By the way my seal codes are 42s4 so there has been a recent production run. Is it done now, though? It's sold out, not retired. But yes I think you can consider it's done. There were some discounts on LEGO Shop at Home, meaning you-know-what. The 2012 City - Mining sets will be (sort of) replaced by the 2015 City - Demolition sets (# 60072, 60073, 60074, 60075, 60076). When reaching EOL, recent seals are from the last production run to fulfill retailers backorders. It's "sold out" on LEGO Shop at Home, so this 42S4 run is dedicated to retailers.

I'm hoping folks who buy the new sets will also want to the 2014 sets, since some of the items are unique, like "The Mine". Quote

Yep that's what I was refering to some posts before: "the new 2015 construction theme will help" For people who want something different than the 60076 Demolition site (or want another "big" city playset with workers), the 4204 will be a "second best" set.

makr Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 It seems like this is flying off the shelves at record speeds. Just last week, I've seen them plentifully stocked at many shops, and now it seems to be completely vanished. Out of 6 stores with plentiful stock last week, spread over both northern and southern Germany, only one had a single item left yesterday (which I bought, didn't have any and desperately wanted one for myself). Cheapest online I found was 105 Quote
Ciglione Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 True. I see one on ebay Germany for 100 euro shipped now. I can still find them around. Time to buy I guess. Still did not get to it. Have zero still. Quote
Val-E Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 Wow, my mine just went for 130 including shipping - my biggest ever profit! 2 Quote

Have zero still. Waste of time (low profits) if you can have them at RRP. Ebay + paypal fees (and packing) will drop the deal. I can see this set being sold next year around 130 Quote
Val-E Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 And thanks to you guys who recommended getting this one - no way would I have touched based on my own knowledge. 1 Quote
Sozial Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 same here. I got 18 pcs for 50 euro because of you. Quote
Val-E Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 I would stick my neck out at that Price. This is an unhoarded set that is EOL -I wouldn 1 Quote
makr Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 Exactly. I still have to buy some. Guess time is limited. So much to buy. Do you have a good way to source them? Or would you even buy them around 100 Quote
Ciglione Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 Do not buy them at 100 euro except when you are buying from me. I can still get two at 65 euro each. But I saw lower prices not so long ago so I am not so triggerhappy. Maybe I should breath out and squeeze? 2 Quote

biniou Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 65 euros is a good to go price - I can Quote
makr Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 Fortunately, they do exist. Where do you still get them at that price? (Feel free not to answer if you don't want to, no hard feelings) Quote

Val-E Posted December 20, 2014 Posted December 20, 2014 My shop was almost sold out when I returned today so I got the last one at full Price. A bit of a risk but it seems to have potential. The cargo terminal was also sold out - maybe I should have got a couple of that too. Quote
