It's about bloody time - this one has been available at retail for far too long.  As per my investment corner article, I still think this will have some legs (despite its long run) but perhaps a little slower than other Creator houses.  Get'em before they are gone!

Sold out, but not officially "retired" yet, kinda like what was happening with the B-Wing. It could come back into stock again, who knows.

B&****** seems to always have these around.

May be somebody knows where to get it on sale for good price....Please, let me know.

Wife spotted these today in a local discount chain shop for

If the are selling for more you can't really lose

[Guest TabbyBoy]

Assuming this is Home Bargains? After eBay and PayPal fees, I wouldn't bother as there's only a couple of quid in it. Also this set is hardly inspiring IMHO.

[TheDarkness]

That is if it is sold now. If looking at the future it already is moving solidly.

[Gondorian]

You should buy them at that price for the parts.  I got one from a Home Bargains on the weekend, but it wasn't local.  I'm not sure if I have one near me.

this set pretty much will be a winner.....lets see what doing to happened on Xmas....now close to 70.00!!!   Nowhere to be found.

Nice - I bought right at EOL (one for us, one for the vault). I'll see what they're going for in mid-November and if it looks good I'll put it up this year.

What do you mean nowhere?  It's available at amazon for that price right now... 

 

Guys, why would you need to pay $70 for this set if you can get bigger Creator house like 31012 (756 pcs) for same or less (expecting discounts in November)?  I have one for my own collection (payed $42, my 1st purchase) but didn't think it's anything special.

for 70 bucks...yep...how about MSRP. No.

That's what I ment   And that's why I don't understand.  Why somebody would pay that much for it, if we have this one for the same price and it looks like a much better bang for your $?  What do I miss?

I am probably stating the obvious here but they are different. For many people getting more for your money doesn't make it better.

Personally I think this set is awesome. 

I have built nearly all of the creator houses as far back as the building bonanza and hillside and apple tree were by far my favorites.

 

I also think they look pretty good in a city display and compliment the bigger modulars pretty well.

 

An old display of mine 

 

No idea of the investment potential but from my perspective this set is far from uninspiring. :-)
