cissi Posted August 9, 2015 Posted August 9, 2015 The new box feels more sturdy. I remembered mentioning once before at the store that the TB box I received was dented. The employee said that's because they are so heavy but box is so thin. Hope the new box help all our future orders arrive safe. At least, I need to find a positive side on this. lol Quote
Sauromosis Posted August 9, 2015 Posted August 9, 2015 Can we sell the first edition as "vintage?" 3 Quote
exciter1 Posted August 9, 2015 Posted August 9, 2015 It's a nice set, good seller, and we really can't blame them for keeping it around. Keep those in-stock alerts coming. Quote
JeffProbst Posted August 9, 2015 Posted August 9, 2015 Does the Pet Shop have a new box as well?I know the Cinema got one Quote
Jersey Crewmax Posted August 9, 2015 Posted August 9, 2015 It looks like me sticking to only one might have been a good call. Quote
Fcbarcelona101 Posted August 9, 2015 Posted August 9, 2015 I have none at this point and will probably keep it that way for now... Quote

landphieran Posted August 9, 2015 Posted August 9, 2015 Something odd occurred today and I'm a bit concerned. I called in to cancel my tower bridge orders. They said the orders were already cancelled by their authorization process (which is an automated authentication program). Where they deny the payment "in-case" it is a fraudulent charge. He said he could reinstate the order if i was interested. Quote
BrickLegacy Posted August 9, 2015 Posted August 9, 2015 I like the new box art but I hate what it might do to my portfolio. I'm going to remain patient and see how this plays out. Its impossible to know what TLG is up to with this move. Quote

Its impossible to know what TLG is up to with this move. More and more I see confirmative signs that my fear is coming true. Exclusives will be around longer and smaller sets will be refreshed faster. Look at the Agents theme. That is just ridiculous how fast these new ones retired. 1 Quote

If your account can still be used, I'd tread lightly going forward. Quote

landphieran Posted August 9, 2015 Posted August 9, 2015 I was considering the same thing. I'm just surprised since it was the only transaction in ~2 weeks and was within limits. May just be bad practices catching up to me. Note taken TLG.This could signal a ban, or a partial ban, where orders above a certain size are automatically cancelled.

dcdfan Posted August 9, 2015 Posted August 9, 2015 What does this tell us about the rumors of the JW series going EOL before christmas?I think it's unrealistic to think this line is done. I think only 75920 & 30320 are done... Quote
Alpinemaps Posted August 9, 2015 Posted August 9, 2015 What does this tell us about the rumors of the JW series going EOL before christmas?JW theme isn't going anywhere. Go into the JW theme thread and look for the article posted today. Lego was shocked at how well it's doing. Quote
Foxhound Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 Does anyone know, how many boxes of Tower Bridge (10214) and Sidney Opera House (10234) brown outer boxes (with Lego print) contain? For example, Pet Shop's outer box contains 2 items. Is every Tower Bridge or Sidney Opera House sent in a brown box? Thank you in advance! Quote
cambridge02138 Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 Based on my personal experience in 2014, in the US, a TB outer box contains 2 TB sets. 1 Quote
jbacunn Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 You all are making a huge assumption that new box are means that it won't retire anytime soon. Any proof to support this position? Quote

Guest Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 I would think that no one has any actual "proof" of any position on the EOL of this set. Quote
stephen_rockefeller Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 I would think that no one has any actual "proof" of any position on the EOL of this set.Or any other set for that matter.......or the sales numbers for any set. Quote

soopaman15 Posted August 15, 2015 Posted August 15, 2015 LEGO Shop at Home temporarily OOS in the US this morning. Saw the new box in the store earlier this week. Quote
