I, for one, will be glad to purchase sets without the number tile. While
I'm glad it helped spur interest in buying the Super Chief, I don't think it
will mean much in the future as far as value. I think the set stands on
it's own. The limited edition thing was more an attention getter than a
serious collecting item. I only bought one of the first ones, but I plan on
buying a couple more of the sets. If it takes this limited edition idea to
get lego to make great little sets like this, then I'm all for it. I just
hope they realize that it was more than the "limited" idea that sold this set.
I wonder if this is a record for number sold in a certain amount of time for
Lego? Anyone know?
