Jon22 Posted December 31, 2019 Posted December 31, 2019 Hello, Just wondering what the likelihood is of more of the large 2019 Gingerbread House from the Winter Village series being produced and sold? In previous years have sets in this line been all sold before Christmas and then never reappeared? I'd appreciate knowing whether we'll see this set in stores again or whether I need to find a reseller if I want to ever own it. Thank you Quote
Vindicare Posted December 31, 2019 Posted December 31, 2019 I don’t know about currently, but they’re likely to restock it again around the time the next one goes on sale. They typically have at least the previous years’ one. Quote
autolycus Posted January 1, 2020 Posted January 1, 2020 (edited) The Winter Village line usually lasts 2 years. If I had to guess, Gingerbread House will be retired Dec 2021. Thats no guarantee, but I do think I can guarantee you’ll have a chance to get it from Lego itself before next Christmas. Just look at the Winter Village Fire Station as the example. It was released in 2018, and is still not retired. The Train is now retired this month, but it was released all the way back in 2016. edit to add: I would be careful waiting past Dec 2020 to get it though. The Winter Village Train Station was an active product from fall 2017 to Dec 2018. It was retired earlier than normal for the series. Presumably they did that because the train was a better seller and they decided to keep it for a whole other production run instead of retiring it to keep the station. Similarly, the modular Brick Bank and Detective’s Office were retired out of order, with Lego keeping the older Parisian Restaurant longer than normal. Edited January 1, 2020 by autolycus Quote
