I've had it with this theme and I now only have 1 of each Winter set for collection only. BTW... John Lewis could discount this set soon as I've seen them drop 50% before. I'd still not buy though.

John82 Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 I brought a couple of these last week as I thought they had retired last year!!! Oh well, looks like i'll part them out instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRIX23 Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Has anyone been able to get this at a discount recently? Looking through pages of history here not really seeing any US discounts. Amazing how close to RRP it is holding with the ridiculous amount of sellers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeff_14 Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Have they ever had 3 of their annual Christmas sets on the shelf at the same time? Once the holiday train drops I expect this set to be gone so maybe profit can be had this Christmas. I might pick some up during the double VIP and free advent promos next month. Seems appropriate.

marcandre Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 I think they mass produced this and have a ton left over. My store has had it on the shelf all year. Any current seal codes out there? It could easily last the season with the train and toy shop available. If it does sell out maybe it gets to $100 on the qfll market.

I don't know if they were damaged returns that were written off by a big box store or what, but they were there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emazers Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 I have 10 might up to 5 more of these and that's it, I think it will take a long time before we see these selling for big money, same for the new Winter train. 10-20 with 2 yrs to get them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exciter1 Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Those who cashed out during the holidays 2014 probably amassed their stash with those profits, so they are already sitting pretty good and are in the black if they get to $100 or above.

asharerin Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 In Europe the Winter sets always get tagged Retired and are then brought back in the fall. Been this way since 2011. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been this way since 2011. Yes, @asharerin is correct. It always shows as retired in Europe. And people in the US and people in Europe always fight over whether the item has really been retired, especially after it's first year out.
