Great video from the LEGO designers about the TOWN HALL, set 10224, released today!

TOWN HALL 10224 Video

I think people should keep an eye on Amazon.  They mentioned something about problems with inventory...but it sounds like they still have some.

 

Item Under Review

While this item is available from other marketplace sellers on this page, it is not currently offered by Amazon.com because customers have told us there may be something wrong with our inventory of the item, the way we are shipping it, or the way it's described here. (Thanks for the tip!)

We're working to fix the problem as quickly as possible.

FWIW, I ordered a Town Hall from Target a couple of weeks ago.  The seal code on the box was 37R2, suggesting they were selling stock from 2012.  I'll be curious to compare to the one I ordered from Lego yesterday.

Nice eh Was the box damaged in any way from Target?

Uh oh, it's a battle of the Eds. Who will win?!

We are both wieners...I mean winners.

No, it actually arrived in great condition.  It was packed under 2 ft of air pockets.

That does say something about the demand for this set...

Not sure. I think plenty of demand is there for the TH set.

The 10228 HH sets were all collecting dust at my 3 local Lego stores and shop@home only until Aug.

I just think folks have been paying much more attention this year to newer sets. So many sets arrived this year that AFOLs, teens, and parents been buying instead of the older sets.

Ed, I sincerely hope you aren't trying to get some churn and affiliate points going.

Considering it is sold out or out of stock everywhere, making money from affiliate links would be a futile endeavor...would it not?

So just curious, if TH is retired today, what do you think its projected value be in 2018 ?

And..... now it's back to shipping Oct. 13 at Shop at Home.

I have been watching as that disclaimer has been there for a few days.  I have a good pile of these and would be surprised if it is done.  I may be forced to get a few more if Amazon comes through.  If it does indeed get the retired tag I will be very happy nonetheless.

it's back up, delayed ship date, better hurry at LEGO Shop at Home.

But.. he just got a set with a very nice box so I presume it wasn't sent back or something. I assume dont know how the shops work, but that they would first get rid of the older boxes. In my sometimes oversimplistic mind, that means that they did quite a long time with an ordered stock so demand was rather small?

Who was the fella who predicted this set along with a handful of others was due to retire this year?

Not I... My office is ready to issue a retraction regarding my earlier TH posts. Lol

I'm man enough to admit when I got it wrong..

Amazon.ca has 13 left in stock if any Canadians are interested.

I give this thread a week to reach 100 pages....

Interesting how there was a whole parade of people laughing at the potential of this EOL'ing yesterday.

 

Now things are somewhat quiet on that front.

 

Note: I am not saying this will not be back in stock and out and back like SSD, it will.

 

I do find it very curious that so many major sets may all in fact be on last legs. But Lego is introducing sets at an incredible pace and they have to make room for new ones.
