That doesn’t mean TLG actually started printing new boxes and inserting that minifigure into production runs of 75188. I want to know if anybody has actually purchased those boxes.

There is a long conversation about this on Eurobricks. Most of it is on pages 56 & 57, including some “proof.” https://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?/forums/topic/167577-lego-star-wars-2019-set-discussion-read-first-post/&page=57 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
$20 on joe vs dan Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Rare "errors' are a hot potato game with the guy at the end holding it losing no one really wants it..just perceived value based on scarcity...seen it during the baseball card phase...seen rare error cards at shows going for ridiculous prices...never seen any actually purchased or in a private collection (ie actually purchased by a collector...end consumer)...usually just a conversation piece Just comes down to how much the next reseller thinks its worth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the best known example...Billy Ripken 89 Fleer cards sold like crazy at card shows for decently high amounts (given it was 30 years ago). 1987 Donruss opening day Barry Bonds (showing Johnny Ray) was another highly sought after card and still sells for high dollar amounts. I will agree that error cards not corrected were just eye candy at the time. Of course, there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm, wait, first leia from mf wasn’t flesh color was she? She came in the 10198 Tantive IV - I got this fig in a used 10198 set and bought the “rough” hair version to resell with the rest of the set. That was a nice flip. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Brick Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Not an official tag yet but when I search "Retiring Soon" on Shop at Home I get the Tower Bridge (here's to hoping) and the FireHouse which would be a surprise.

Val-E Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Why would they be surprises? They are all retired in Europe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellow Castle Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 This message seems 4 months out of date? Most 2018 retiring soon sets are long gone (except ideas 21308 which they may have to give away?). S&H Have left retiring tags on retired sets which needs housekeeping. Now waiting to see which sets slip into retirement this summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alucard1982 Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Not sure if this was mentioned yet, but The Ghostbusters Firehouse is retired in Australia Our warehouse is the size of a small convenience store, not everything that retires in Australia can be seen as a sign. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
