redghostx Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Lot of hurt feelings today......his opinions are fine and I have no issues with opinions but obviously his "opinions" are not worded as such. Why don't some of you go back and read some of his posts. I highly doubt any of you read every single post posted day in and day out as do the moderators. And also I'm not here to gain fans, post the same info over and over or post pictures of my huge stashes, I'm here to moderate the forums. Thanks. I think that you should be forced to resign as that is the new American way when anyone objects to anything. (: /sarcasm. Has anyone designed a way to invert the layout of the GE so that only the one corner is exposed to the street and the two sidewalks are connected to other buildings? Or a simple horizontal double shop. Ex Astris, Scientia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Respectfully Walmart, target, amazon and toysrus are and have been out. LEGO Shop at Home has bounced in and out. It has all the classic signs like SSD did. It will be done soon, where is the fork.

trekgate502 Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 I am against the common theory I suppose but Walmart went so fast your head could spin. I still think this will be gone sooner than later and not reappear everywhere. Thats just me and my guess though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinP Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 My thoughts are that there will be an ample supply of GE for Black Friday from Lego on LEGO Shop at Home, then it will go into OOS, and then retired product status. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good idea I do have to say that I'm done buying it, have what I want and moving on to R2, Maersk, WVM and maybe a couple of others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRandall Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 It is only an opinion but this modular set may end up being hoarded/purchased more than any other modular due to increasing hype far above FB at this point with a 3-4 month lag of sold out titles, especially if it stays in stock until the New Year. I believe FB's original price point above the other modulars and it's basic Fire Station genre may have turned more people than previously thought off purchasing too many because it cost more, was just a simple fire station which we've all seen dozens of in other sets including City, and lack of detail inside. The same might be said about the current Town Hall as it currently sits at $200 and few care about it. Knowing the rapid increase of Fire Brigade at a $100 increase in less than 12 months there is a chance that GE having sit as the top seller for Lego several days alone last week before returning for another production run while more limited in overall in-production years may be a far more purchased set. Many investors and collectors have only found this site within the last year or two and among those I know a few who purchase several dozen sets just for themselves, and they don't have several dozen Fire Brigades even when Emazers was pushing them and warning before EOL. The Fire Brigades are already going for $300 on Fleabay. The corner building appeal doesn't really have weight imo as most modular pictures show a strait line of buildings whether modified or original. Who in the pictures you've seen builds a town in squares rather than putting their Buildings in a strait line along the wall so that they can gaze at them?? Either way, this set is good and I have some but I don't think it will fetch near what some of the other Modulars may end up fetching in 5-8 years when 10 more modular sets will have been released, especially when newer modulars have better character(Parisian Restaurant and Pet Shop) or are a must for any group of buildings whether a small town or a large MOC layout(Town Hall, Fire Brigade). The GE is kind of on it's own, and I kind of wonder what it will really do, I hope it's a home run but I don't see it being better long term than Fire Brigade, I hope someone can show me the error of thinking. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
