Guest TabbyBoy Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Lord knows we can't have a WVM market discussion without you saying this for the 358275734273422347698432763th time. Isn't that a slight exaggeration? Remember we have new members joining daily who don't always read all the way back through. I'm one that only reads the last coupld of pages if I've been offline for a while. Oh yes, in case for forgot to mention it.... can I remind you that the WVM may yet un-retire again? ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trekgate502 Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 This set is still at Target, Amazon and Toys R Us at the moment. I know it is on its way out but I just do not see a major price spike in the next 17 days. I am stocking up but not for this Christmas.

Guest TabbyBoy Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 I was planing on saving all my WVM for next xmas, but if this gets up to $200 in the next week I may just move them now. It won't here as still very available and eBay flooded. Once I see "The Tag" (See, I didn't mention the actual word!), I'm getting rid of them as soon as they cover initial cost and fees. It seems like they perform better in the US than in the UK - good luck anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minimyrin08 Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 (edited) Anyone think this will come back on LEGO Shop at Home? Edited December 8, 2014 by minimyrin08 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legogregors Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 If I find it online for $200 or is this too much? Anyone think this will come back on LEGO Shop at Home? 10235 is still widely available at amazon and target for under $100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minimyrin08 Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 10235 is still widely available at amazon and target for under $100. Sorry I thought I was posting on the AA thread not the winter set. I walked away to make some food and forgot to switch back. Is that too much for AA?

pickleboy Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 (edited) I think all the seasonal sets will be profitable and therefore "winners" but I have the entire line that gets displayed at Christmas and IMO it was missing something until this set came out. This set really pulls the entire line together and makes a nice center piece to build everything else around.

exciter1 Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Are these still in abundance in LEGO brick & mortar stores, or are they disappearing there too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hxckid88 Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Are these still in abundance in LEGO brick & mortar stores, or are they disappearing there too? Both. I've seen piles and I've seen none. Depends on where you go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcandre Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 WVC went oos at LEGO Shop at Home last year about this time. That thing vanished fast too, I got a few but not as many as I had planned. If you like the market get some now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nozomi1230 Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Hi all, just wanna ask if you think 10235 is going to be back again or simply goes EOL? I never had any winter sets but take it as a mini 10196, I think it worths. Assuming there are ppl still want a carousel, WVM is the only choice unless they are too rich.

Veegs Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Check the ROI% on past Winter Village sets. Even the ugliest set in the bunch (which is subjective anyway) will always be a nice addition to a Winter Village scene. I'd expect a new set next year more in line with the price point of Santa's Workshop, but people have been willing to pay well over MSRP to add to their collection before and will do so in the future. With so many new investors you might not get the returns you want next Christmas, but I'd wager the Christmas after that will be a good time to sell.

waddamon Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 The seasonal theme is #3 in the order of top performing themes. It has maintained in the 1-3 position for quite some time. The WVC 10229 retired last december and has shown an 80% plus return in 1 year. I think this is fairly consitent for the theme. The average ROR for that set should drop down to mid fifties by Christmas next year putting it at a price of $240.00 us dollars or so by Christmas next year 2016. The WVM 10235 is a fantastic set and does not detract from the set in my opinion. It has a functioning carousel, that is awsome. In fact with some color modifications it could easily be MOC'd into the Mixer, carnival theme. I have 20 and am happy at that level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TabbyBoy Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 I admit that I had buyer's remorse when I bought several of these last year only to see them being unretired. This set has really grown on me and I think it's the focal point of the whole theme. Hence, I've decided not to sell this year and will hold on until the year that they don't come back.

The previous sets lasted longer, and the trend for Lego was/is to extend the life of special sets. People are more prepared with WMV. Do I think its still a worthy investment? Sure, but the circumstances are different -- if it does retire . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, but the circumstances are different -- if it does retire . . . I adamantly disagree. Go run the retirement/MSRP/current price calculations on the other winter theme retired sets and you will see that I am in fact conservative in my calculations. You are making assumptions "of other people" that you could not possibly know. As far as I can remember everyone diliked the WVM since it came out, and most advice was to buy other sets. I think it is better to look at the numbers and performance rather than speculate on assumptions that in no way can be confirmed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TabbyBoy Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 I tonly partially retired in the UK, it was always available in the US It said "Retired Product" in the UK which I interpret as fully, retired, gone, deal, never to return. I'm going to take a photo in RAW unedited format the next time I see and sent it to those that need proof of it retiring as I'm clearly a liar, right? For some reason I'm being blamed for this set being retired and then being resurrected. Get over it and enjoy the thrill of the new era in Lego speculating.
