Last summer it went out of stock and jumped immediately to $300. It has been going in and out of stock for a while. Are they going to retire it after the big ben set goes into production? Good question. I'd wish I knew. I am thinking about unloading part of my stash of tower bridges. So if they are planning to retire it they'd better hurry up!

thelegollama Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 I would assume that since the new box design never made it to the SOH that it would go EOL first. Sometimes I wonder if LEGO does these things just to mess with us, haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yu051131 Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 you mean it depends on sales & SOH is a slower seller? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckBricks Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Does anyone think 76041 is worth loading up on at 24$ ? I know Super Hero sets aren't the best but with it being a TRU exclusive and at 40% off is it worth the investment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure some kid right now is starring at it wishing he could get the set. 5-10 years from now the little kid will grow up and eBay the set, if that made any sense, and buy it. I don't think many people will hoard this set, if they do they'll sell it come a year or two from now. Reasoning behind that is because I feel new investors don't like holding on to sets for 5-10 years. Again just an opinion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it will be a grand slam but it should be the last set with quicksilver and that should be worth something in a couple years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trekgate502 Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Quicksilver may be ressurected in infinity wars in 2018. Choose wisely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cory730 Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 I bought 2 everyday too but they canceled 6 of my orders for some reason. I bought over 60 Vet Clinic the other week and none were canceled but they would not give me and Hydra's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That reminds me of when I bought over 30 Pet Salons at -50% and I'm still struggling to get rid of them well after EOL. The Friends novelty has worn off I think and retailers are glad to get shot of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormBricks Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 I think the house Friends do good (Emma, Livi, ...etc). The small ones seem overloaded with tiny useless parts and people got aware of that enough. So any expectations on Emma's retirement?

That's what I find in the Brickset data. Emma's House is being sold for a year and a half now, which means it could retire any moment now. But I still see it in toy-stores everywhere. So I don't think it's a good seller. It's also rather pricey at €75 (RRP, Netherlands), though it's currently offered by many stores here between €52 and €60. The high number of discounts on this set could indicate it's about to get the retirement-boot. But it will be a while before this set is really cleared from toy-store inventories.

HandyHand Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 What he (@Val-E) ^^ said. Olivia's House ... RRP was €69,99 in Germany (Brickset). Retired November 2014. Now, 1.5 years later the NIB asking price is around €70-€80. What a dud! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olivia's House is doing well in the U.S., though. $139.95 on Amazon right now from a RRP of $74.99 (and deeply discounted at times--40-50%).

donbee Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Didn't know the VA had licensing agreement with LEGO? Yeah, they did. It just took them a couple years to announce it, and they're still back ordered on it. They still use printed catalogs, and you can only order by mail or phone. And i'm pretty sure there are more customers on the wait list, than there are actually still alive at the moment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
