I just read Sydney Opera House and thought it was the big Creator one...LOL that's what I get for being lazy and reading only the name and price.

 

Right now it is OOS online, but you can get it in store, if the Walmart has it in stock [obviously].

Interesting - I bought one online just before I posted. I guess they didnt have many left. With the big Creator one coming out I wonder if they will retire this one early.

It's pretty hard to tell how long Architecture sets last, since only a few have retired, one of them immediately remade under a different name (Sears Tower -> Willis Tower), the John Hancock Building, and the Asian Temple that I can't spell?

I could be completely wrong, but I feel like the less popular, slower selling Architecture sets get retired much quicker than the more popular ones.  This seems to sometimes be the case with other themes as well.

OK... retired. So now what are the prospects for this set?  I saw a couple at my local Books a Million... $40 - 20% off coupon + tax = $34.16 each.  Worth it now?  I guess I'd like it if it were going to $75 in the next 6 months or so... but I just don't have patience to hold a set like this for years.  So... deal, or no deal?

If you sell them tomorrow on Ebay you will have doubled your money. What´s not to like about that?

@Brian92007: Funny that you mention that. I thought *the same thing* when one of my TRUs had a bunch (three) suddenly last Wednesday. They were $46.99, if I recall, but I didn't realize they were retired so didn't think much of it.

I sold a few for more than 100 euros last xmas and also picked up a few more for RRP. When big brother 10234 retires, one can expect this set to be worth 150 or more, similar to Guggenheim or Farnsworth.

Why the link? I think 21012 has hit the plateau already
