Slobey Posted January 9, 2015 Hi guys, what's the general consensus on how long this set will be around? It's on my "to get" list but I'm not sure how long it will be around for. Thoughts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AlmightyArjen Posted January 9, 2015 It's already out of production. If you buy it now, you'll get it cheaper then when you buy it tomorrow: prices are rising pretty quick the last few weeks... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peterab Posted January 10, 2015 Particularly since you are from Australia, I'd buy it as soon as possible. As Arjen has said it appears to be out of production, since it is sold out on the LEGO shop at home website. It could still be restocked if there is another production run but most would agree that is very unlikely since the other Creator trains had two year production runs. The other Creator trains rose rapidly in price once retail stocks disappeared, and this never really had large stock levels in Australia. You might be lucky and still find it at retail price at a Toyworld or an independent retailer, and if so I wouldn't hesitate in buying it because you are unlikely to find it that cheap later.

I agree with you. Its prices are getting sky high. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

legonerd54321 Posted January 10, 2015 I'm glad I got mine right before they sold out! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eliminator Posted January 10, 2015 I'm hopeful it will get back in stock at the US/CAN Lego shops; doesn't say "retired product" yet. (although it did go on sale, so that's usually an indicator to retire) I have one, but will buy two more immediately if they become available again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chubbs Posted January 15, 2015 Called Lego this am and managed to order 2 HE at the sale price. Thank you eliminator for the tip :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rockethead26 Posted January 16, 2015 As did Chubbs and others, I just got my shipping notice on two HE trains at the sale price I ordered via phone. These are just about gone so if you're on the fence, don't wait. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Heppeng Posted January 22, 2015 Especially when the answer was given in the previous post anyway, which he presumably did not bother reading! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
