Personally, I don't think 10000 is all that limited. I mean, even after
Larry's placed his order[1] there'll still be plenty to go around. What
production run would you expect of a set like this?
I'm not a huge fan of forced 'collectibility', but clearly I've fallen hook,
line, sinker, rod and copy of 'Angling Times' for this one. I'd rather Lego
Direct just kept producing fantastic sets at great prices. I can put up
with the marketing machinery for a while, but this could get tiresome if
they come to rely on limited editions - particularly if a more limited run
is ever used as an excuse to hike the price up.
Still, let's have a decent British steam locomotive next, eh?
