10224 - Town Hall

[Neosphinx]

I think it may be interesting, when questionning an employee, to know for how long he was a lego employee. I would ignore any rumor from a lego employee hired less than 3 years ago, and doubt the words from the older ones.

Got a point there, I verified twice with him about it. In the end, time only will tell if he was right.

[biniou]

You and he... verified ? So it's not another random guess from an employee. Thanks, that's a rumor that might worth gold.

No, i meant to say I asked him twice to check if I heared him ok. A rumor, even if said twice remains a rumor, I know

Anyone else think the Town Hall would make a good Hill Valley clock tower to go with a Delorean? WIth a little work obviously.

Yup definitely does. I mentioned this in another thread too. My local lego store has the delorean set up with the town hall, looks pretty good!

Indeed, the size ratio may be better than the ecto-1/HH, for display.

This would be cool to integrate in a lego city display. Brilliant idea mscheaf!

 

Maybe in the future we can sell the Town Hall and the Delorean as a package deal combo?

I don't think so, because such a scene is only about Back to the future (BttF).

And the main value is in the TH.

The (few) people who would like to do this would do it by themselves, so I wouldn't bother to combine such sets, and have the risk to see it taking dust.

 

IMO you can pack some items when it's very obvious to sell them together (like santa's workshop and the free polybags with elves), or when the cheapest item can be seen as a nice bonus (and not the reverse ).

 

With the TH + Delorean, in value it will be about 80% TH and 20% delorean, but the scene is about BttF.

Something like a Delorean + a cheaper set would be better (let's say a lego city dustbin with accessories) , to make a scene in which doc search for bananas to give some power to the delorean. Or a big billboard to hide the delorean behind.

 

Of course, if the TH were an official BttF set (box, etc.), that would be different !

Backordered at LEGO Shop at Home. You may now commence EOL speculation and unwarranted panic

[zskid00]

Maybe it's a limit of 2 because LEGO hasn't been able to produce this set in a while and knew stock was low and would go to backorder soon.  They have been keeping the factories busy producing more GE in the meantime.

[trekgate502]

I think it is heading towards EOL land based on multiple comments BUT that is purely highly unwarranted speculation.  Of course where mscheaf and I have the fork discussion going on the haunted house, I won't stick a fork in this one. VBG  

[Neosphinx]

Ehmz... put a fork in?

[mscheaf]

Yeah, if I get worried about this set retiring I will just go to the Lego store and pick up a few of the 2 dozen I saw there next to the Town Hall display model.

[Neosphinx]

Still plenty of stock

OK not sure if your asking seriously in which case I am going to explain or sarcastically in which case I apologize for trying to explain.

In America, related to Thanksgiving Day and Turkeys there is an old saying that is "Its done, stick a fork in it to check that it is cooked fully".

It has been adapted to where we apply it to lots of different things meaning that something is completely done, over with, etc.

So in this case on Town Hall I am not going to stick a fork in it.

That said since mscheaf has so many I love vacations to the South so maybe I could do a road trip with him and round up the remaining ones when the time comes and split the bounty.

Hmmm, weird, I thought it had to do with the fat lady singing at the end of professional sporting events.  Maybe that's "Stick a fork in her!"

What do you say besides "thank you"?

What is a patatten? A potato? Or is it the Fat Lady exciter1 is talking about?

[Neosphinx]

Indeed potatoes. We're not savages that go around poking fat ladies eh!

We do not celebrate "thanksgiving" but "thanksbuying".

Ohhhh, you mean instead of Thanksgiving. I thought you meant you didn't say thank you and I was curious.

I know, was pulling your leg. We do have something like Sinterklaas Saint Nicolas which is also good for Thanksgiving-promo's on 6 december. Can do some good business then.... but we don't eat turkeys then.
