I think that the train registry for the 10020 is a great idea! When I got
my first three sets, I quickly opened all of the sets to see the numbers,
but then after posting the sets numbers, on the Internet
<http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=12973>, I quickly realized
that I decreased the value of the set by opening the "Limited Edition" set.
Which brings me to my question.
Is the "Unknown" set kept unopened worth more than a known number?? I would
have to say yes. Why? 1) This is the first ever numbered limited edition
sets!! 2) Lego has said that they will produce more sets without the
limited edition numbering scheme. 3) The set is a great set, but a higher
sought after set with the limited edition numbering scheme.
So, I believe the next six that I have ordered (Three on Feb.28th and three
on March 1st) will remain in the box...unopened. A huge travesty for such a
great set, but one that can easily be erased by the buying and putting
together of the unlimited sets that will be hitting the market later this
month. I'm sure there won't be a limit on how many of these sets one can
buy per given phone call.
Just my 2 cents.

P.S. For those who think that the numbered sets will actually be worth more,
like the much sought after 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 sets (who knows there fate) the
tiles of these numbers can be easily imitated. Also, numbers like A4551
etc…. can also be imitated therefore decreasing the value of the opened set.

| (...) I guess this begs the question. Did you buy them to enjoy them or to make money from them? I'm not judging, I'm just saying that if you bought them for yourself, to build and enjoy, then I think it's fantastic that you've opened them. I think (...) (23 years ago, 5-Mar-02, to lugnet.trains)
