Ciglione Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 TBC is Tuberculosis... TB is the universal abbreviation for the Lego Tower Bridge Quote
Darth_Raichu Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 TBC is Tuberculosis... TB is the universal abbreviation for the Lego Tower Bridge Never heard of TBC as an abbreviation for Tuberculosis. TB actually stands for the latin name of that disease (which I can't remember at the moment) Quote
Sozial Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 yepp in germany it is called TBC, dont know if it the same in the US, latin name is tuberculum Quote
Darth_Raichu Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 Per wikipedia: Tuberculosis, MTB, or TB (short for tubercle bacillus), ... Quote
ttsupra1994 Posted March 19, 2014 Posted March 19, 2014 From all the reply im reading, the veteran in this forum are saying "buy now if you have the funds, if no funds, hope it wont be too late". I for one, will start buying at least 1 per month. As a rookie on this hobby, i just to thank the seasonal veteran for their guidance..... Quote
eyebrow40 Posted March 20, 2014 Posted March 20, 2014 Lego shop@home US: GE: expected ship date April 9! Yesterday it was March 23. It would be funny when they change it to may, so nobody can buy it during double vip points. Or is it possible to order it during double vip although it's not available at the moment? Quote
legomaniac81 Posted March 20, 2014 Posted March 20, 2014 I m planing to buy at least 10 of these as we have all seen the increase seen in fire brigade( i had only 3) the question is GE is only available at retail price how to get best possible price?

As long as you can put it in your bag and pay for it, you should be able to buy it. Quote

McAJ Posted March 20, 2014 Posted March 20, 2014 John Lewis in UK is out of stock. Yesterday they had 10+ but today out of stock. Sent from my iPhone using Brickpicker Quote
ninjasnake1337 Posted March 20, 2014 Posted March 20, 2014 John Lewis had 26 when I checked a couple of days ago. Someone panicked Quote
Ciglione Posted March 20, 2014 Posted March 20, 2014 Someone probably panicked. And it wasn't me. Quote
MartinP Posted March 20, 2014 Posted March 20, 2014 John Lewis had 26 when I checked a couple of days ago. Someone panicked And bought all 26 of them? Quote
ninjasnake1337 Posted March 20, 2014 Posted March 20, 2014 I have checked the stock levels over the past few weeks and they did not change much. I doubt one individual bought all 26 (I'm looking at you, TabbyBoy), but if enough of the Brits here panicked that would explain it. Quote

But that would still be a lot of money. Quote
Ciglione Posted March 20, 2014 Posted March 20, 2014 If the GE would not retire, it will retire now. People are panicking. Quote

dbost01 Posted March 20, 2014 Posted March 20, 2014 Isn't the grand emporium in the most recent catalogue? Quote
Ciglione Posted March 20, 2014 Posted March 20, 2014 That would make sense as it goes from January to June 2014. It is still available at Lego. Quote
Mos_Eisley Posted March 20, 2014 Posted March 20, 2014 If the GE would not retire, it will retire now. People are panicking. If anything, I think the too early panic buying only results in more being produced and extended life since it appears to TLG there's some new interest in the set. I don't think this set was planned to be out of production until the end of the year, but I think heavy buying can end up extending that time. Quote

I've been buying a few here and there for the last year, so I'm not worried. It seems a lot of people are a little paranoid after the FB seemed to vanish from one day to the next. Quote

I've been getting mine from Amazon Spain when they were less than Quote
Ciglione Posted March 20, 2014 Posted March 20, 2014 I checked the catalogue of Jan-Jun 2014 (3 times). There are no exclusives shown in the catalogue. Maybe there is another catalogue for more expensive items?? Quote
Alpinemaps Posted March 20, 2014 Posted March 20, 2014 LOL yeah, right... assuming they learned anything from recent zoo/hearse/PA fiasco... when even "cancelled" did not mean anything Well, yeah. If LEGO Shop at Home cancels your order, than no points. But everything I ordered (even if it was on back order, which a few things were), was still charged immediately, and still got me my VIP points. Quote
