Ciglione Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 (edited) ToO is back at Lego Shop at Home Germany exclusives page. It says retired though. Edited August 14, 2015 by Ciglione Quote
cissi Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 ToO is back at Lego Shop at Home Germany exclusives page. It says retired though. only shows 'sold out' to me. I did just clean my cookies yesterday and haven't browse ToO page since. Quote
Ciglione Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 (edited) only shows 'sold out' to me. I did just clean my cookies yesterday and haven't browse ToO page since.So "Produkt ausgelaufen" means sold out? I thought it meant retired.Maybe some real germans can translate.

jensen-button Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 (edited) So "Produkt ausgelaufen" means sold out? I thought it meant retired.Maybe some real germans can translate.you are right. "Produkt ausgelaufen" = Retired. Edited August 14, 2015 by jensen-button Quote
cissi Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 (edited) you are right. "Produkt ausgelaufen" = Retired. It is. But actually we don't need to go that complicated route with German. There's a Germany-English page, which says 'retired'. And... YAY~~~~~~ Edited August 14, 2015 by cissi 1 Quote

Brian Briggs Posted August 15, 2015 Posted August 15, 2015 I just looked up the latest ToO listing sold on German ebay: price was 254,99€ including shipping. Cheapest ebay listing is now at 276,90€ shipped, cheapest listing on German amazon is 252,99€ including shipping. It will be interesting to see how prices will evolve from now on.The German ebay listing for 276,90€ shipped is sold now. In addition, two auctions for this set already ended in the meantime: one for 258,50€ shipped, and another one for 280,54€ shipped. Also, some poor guy obviously didn't get the memo and accepted a best offer below his asking price of 220€ shipped. Currently some more auctions are running and cheapest buy-it-now is 289€ shipped.The cheapest ToO available on German amazon: 299,99€.As this is the first time I'm actively monitoring the price development of a set after EOL I'm wondering: does this look promising for those who invested in this set?

And I was slightly enthausiastic.However, keep in mind it is August. Many people are on holiday. When they come back I expect some more listings which automatically means people undercutting eachother. Also Germany in general is still very traditional. Their attention is not on Lego in the summer. I expect ebay lego sales to pick up next month when the summer holiday is over and schools have started again. Although tempting, I would not draw too much conclusions on this set too fast. They are still available in shops around here. Normally they would already be gone in 60 seconds. But it simply is no Lego season now. People are laying on the beach or in their garden pools. Quote

Frank Brickowski Posted August 15, 2015 Posted August 15, 2015 As this is the first time I'm actively monitoring the price development of a set after EOL I'm wondering: does this look promising for those who invested in this set?Yes, it looks promising in general and especially since it is a LOTR set and had an MSRP of 200 Euros. Who knows, maybe this becomes the Haunted House of Middle Earth out of nowhere (for many, not all). Quote
fossilrock Posted August 15, 2015 Posted August 15, 2015 Yes, it looks promising in general and especially since it is a LOTR set and had an MSRP of 200 Euros. Who knows, maybe this becomes the Haunted House of Middle Earth out of nowhere (for many, not all).Well, it is an awesome set. By far the best of the Lord of the Rings sets, so I wouldn't be shocked to see it at least be around 500 or higher in early 2017. Quote

Since I did miss out on HH completely, I didnt want to risk the same again even if forecasts for the Tower's potential were less enthusiastic. 1 Quote
Ciglione Posted August 15, 2015 Posted August 15, 2015 Bought another ToO today. It was still there in the shop. So if no one else bites I will have to take up the heavy task and decided to buy it.Later if they want it they can buy it from me with a premium. So they learn to clean the shelves before I change my mind. 2 Quote
