iluvmyelement Posted December 27, 2009 Posted December 27, 2009 It's showing sold out on the Lego website and when I called TLG's customer service they said production was done and it's no longer available. Should I take TLG at their word or does anyone have any info on this? Quote
Grrr Posted December 27, 2009 Posted December 27, 2009 It's pretty much a goner. It appeared in that leaked 2010 dutch retailer catelog, perhaps it's not gone. Quote
Rick Posted December 27, 2009 Posted December 27, 2009 Maybe a difference in availability next year between North-America and the rest of the world? Quote
Legoist Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 In Finland you can still find it in several shops, of course it might be just leftovers but at least in one shop I've been recently they seemed to have quite of a bunch of them stacked, and they looked like recently delivered to the shop. I'm not 100% sure but I think it was the first creator house produced, and it sold a lot through the years. However it was probably surclassed by the following creator houses, all of which had at least a more interesting colour scheme. This to me means that if you really want this set, you may easily find it for a cheap price on the 2nd hand market. Quote

The Cobra Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 It wouldn't be a surprise if it was gone, it's a 2007 set and there are now 3 Creator houses available. Still, I haven't seen a 4956 around for a while and then a local shopping mall had a few in early December. Quote
Legoist Posted December 30, 2009 Posted December 30, 2009 (edited) Nope, the first creator house was the Building Bonanza. I owned that one. That's right! They had the same colour scheme and other similarities, maybe that's why I forgot about the first one. BTW I checked the Finnish catalog 2010 and 4956 is in fact missing.

You are right - when I mentioned that it was still in the retailer catalog I got it confused with 4996. Quote
