justapilgrim Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 You convinced me I'm opening one of mine so I won't be tempted to sell all of them! !! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Brickpicker mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val-E Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 No contest between them here. The good and the bad aspect about HH is that it is a standalone set. TH has much more mainstream appeal being part of a Street. Personally, I like HH better and maybe because it was harder to track one down but in ROI terms, the TH is going to be come out well ahead due to its rarity value vs demand.

Ciglione Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Every year in Sept-October you will see a pre-halloween spike in sales of HH. That discussion was right in the midst of that spike I believe. Sure it will continue to appreciate but it (HH) is also affected by the seasonal swings. HH getting a spike in sales and value before halloween is 100% true in the US. In Europe it is a different ball game. Here the HH is wanted all year around. TH will beat HH due to being more scarce at the moment. After a couple of years I guess HH will join TH again up in the high. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brickbuilder.g Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 there was a guy on amazon with a stash of these 50+ at $399 and is now gone and moved up to $449 or above, can't remember his seller name, that said no way 50 sold in two days...this will be $450 soon unless new sellers show up and yes, $500 is a given by Christmas...$600 is not outside the realm of possibility.

exciter1 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 6 months ago would have been much better You're talking to the man who stocked up on SSDs at $600. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuckeyeFanDan Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 My dilemma will be if the price skyrockets, whether or not to sell the only one I have (which is still sealed). I bought it for my own collection. I should just open it now to lessen the temptation to sell it later, but somehow I can't bring myself to do it yet. It may be tough to keep it if it zooms up to $800-$1000 in a couple of years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are a fan of lego and love building: open it and enjoy the build. Rather sooner than later cause it will get harder to open it every day that passes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vexxet Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 its borderline depressing seeing the sold option on ebay for Town Hall and seeing how much you could have had it for just 45 days ago... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Val-E Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Yup,if you paid 70 euros for a new one back in the day then depression is definitely not the right term to use! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makr Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Ordered some online at MSRP. Shop claims to deliver end of January. I'd be surprised if they actually come through with it, but it doesn't hurt to try. "Dear Mr XXX Unfortunately we received the information that the product LEGO Townhall (10224) from your order XXX 19.12.2014 cannot be delivered any longer.If you do not want to order a different article as an alternative you can cancel the position in your account. If the product has already been paid you are able to initiate a reimbursement with the following link: ..." That settles that then... Can't say that I'm surprised. This message is actually from a different store, but this seems to confirm that a Swiss reseller provided these stores with rotten data. They still show my GE orders as open, but I guess I'll get a similar message within the next few days. This comes just on the day that CHF hugely appreciated over EUR and USD, would have had to pay much more than anticipated anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eureka Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 In Korea, TH already went over $500 (550,000 KRW). And, Demand side suppresses than supply side. TH seems to be more high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biniou Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Every year in Sept-October you will see a pre-halloween spike in sales of HH. That discussion was right in the midst of that spike I believe. Sure it will continue to appreciate but it (HH) is also affected by the seasonal swings. Yep. A new modular (DO) on January ? TH is seeked by collectors. A new monster theme incoming and then halloween ? So the HH will have another peak demand next autumn. Both are winners, I don't care which will perform better: I invested in both of them. @makromizer This really is not a surprise but thanks for the confirmation.

legokent Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Hmm.... so the sudden rise in TH pricing is caused by Mr. Darin buying up all the cheap ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pseudoty Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 so i just pulled the trigger on ebay for 2 TH for 750$... lol watch it come back now... that would be just my luck =D I was going to say I would sell you 2 for that price. Still haven't set up my BrickClassified. Then looked on eBay and was like what? I haven't been following this thread or set at all just have them put away for later but looks like that may be coming sooner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darin Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 darn, I put in an offer for those 2 on ebay...you offered a little more than me. shipping was 56 for the 2 right?
