M4x18 Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 I still wonder why 10235 WV doesn't get any attention while being retired in Europe. WV sets are that bad? I know that 10235 shows as retired on LEGO Shop at Home, but I really doubt that it had a 1 year run and off it goes. WV sets in the past have gone off site after holiday season and then made a return a-la Michael Jordan in mid-November. What I don't know is if they've been marked as 'retired' during their hiatus. And WV sets are not that bad, look how 10229 is performing. That one has served it's 2 year cycle and was marked as sold out in mid december IIRC, so it shouldn't come back this november. It's just that in the EU this theme is not as popular as it is in the US, not even close. Quote

That would explain why this theme is not seeked in australia, and guessing by your location, nor in spain. But in France it's "quite" popular (not super but ok), and I think that the more the country and inhabitants can have snowy winters, the more this theme becomes popular. There are some netherlands and germans members here who could confirm (or not) that this theme is popular in their country (having snowy winters). Quote

We pool our money, buy lots of winter sets, and set up physical shop in Alaska. 1 Quote
