Hee Hee. This is a real gem... It is the fact that these sets are under appreciated when they are available that makes them so sought after when it is discontinued...     If you look back at the history of sets that price shot up like crazy after EOL you will notice it.
Hmmm.... I don't think so. I think Tower Bridge falls under Lego Exclusive, same theme as Modular Buildings. Modular Buildings allows you to connect with other modulars and each level is removable. Tower Bridge is like a gigantic scale architecture series.

New theme for Modular now is "Expert" series.
You got pm!
It doesn't necessarily follow that trend but naturally TLG will do that. Some sets like 10188 Death Star survived until today while all the Star Wars sets from 2008 has discontinued. And then there are also sets that go into early retirement... Ultimately it is a commercial decision TLG has to make.
This one I can confirm, Fire Brigade will go EOL this year. Grand Emporium and Pet Shop will still be in production until 2014. Whether they will continue production after 2014 I don't know yet, rest assured being a big fan of Modular Buildings I am keeping a close eye on this and report if I hear anything!
Normally, one sign of a set going EOL is price drop!   (and low stock levels)

Any sets just released in the market will hold firm to its RRP and slowly drop in price as it approaches EOL...

Hey guys, so unfortunately that i have ran into some issues which i need to settle

Totally no time to read the forum and it has jumped so many pages already.

I may be slightly not so active until the issues are totally resolved.

Hope you all have a great time LEGO-ing! I will stay strong until the issue is resolved!

Wahh chess set  Nice set, but I won't buy it though because it's not my 'thing'.

Once I saw a BOMer sell that. I think the price list is still there.

I felt like buying 1 set also... but I sayang want to play them as chess I scared their leg later loose and become OKU...

My friend bought there but apparently, they ship the contents and the box separately. The box came with cellophane tape everywhere 

kesian the box, they should learn how to keep those huge sets at higher places like how they did to the SSD (last time I saw it was on top of the counter )
very niceee!

Restock..

Im working for ALJ.
Exactly.the price kinda good actually.....hehehee
I saw someone sapu 2 bakul...
Thats like 40-50 boxes i think...

funny captions lol

Hahaha this is funny

on this subject, i just wondering
lets say if the set got rubber tires rite,
wouldn't it be hard (deterioration) after some time? 
no way to check right, since ady cling wrap everything?

I want to but not much airport set and nice/complete ones as well.
Too much open air to breathe will also cause the stickiness I think. Maybe the right amount of air pressure/amount will prevent stickiness. Or maybe no air at all in a vacuum bag

From my limited knowledge here is what I can share, hopefully other experts can help...

Rubber disintegrate or rather the rubber + chemical compounds used to make the toys disintegrate over time. Recently I took out my old collection of He-Man and Thundercats for spring cleaning and they literally melted!   I was heartbroken to see these toys that I have played with and still in good condition to "die such a horrible death"...

I think the lack of UV (sunlight) actually accelerates the rate of deterioration, don't ask me to explain further like a chemical engineer! However, I am not suggesting to put them under the sun either as too much UV will definitely destroy them even faster! lol!

I recently opened an old retired MISB city construction set, bought it from a European seller. It is one of those small sets that came with the Tower Crane mega pack so I think it is around 5-6 yrs old? The rubber tyres and hoses were all very sticky. I washed it with soap and warm water, seemed to help a little to get rid of the stickiness but once it starts to "melt" then I think it is irreversible unless you know of a way to stabilise the compound like how you apply silicon to car trims to keep them looking new...

Hope have sifu here can help explain better!

This looks great! something fresh!
