LittleRedTrain Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 Wow, that's quite a price jump, £595 when the original 4 pack was sold for £280! No mention of tooling changes, just painted seats. Given some of the crazy prices they go for on eBay, it wouldn't surprise me if they still sell out, but I don't think many tourists will be buying them on a whim from the Covent Garden shop. Just glad I got my original 8 car set when I did! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a big jump but not a surprise really given what has happened in between. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyman7 Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 Given that the profits help fund the museum and that the first run ones are going for insane prices this seems a win-win all round 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted September 25, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 25, 2022 I wonder if they are going to produce different numbers and the extra cars for a seven or eight car set? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delta_Who Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 Ofc they would do this when my wallet is dried up for the month. Time to start battle-plans for Covent Garden. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRman Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 "This item can only be shipped to UK mainland address. Apologies for any inconvenience." Well, that's a bit of a bummer! I was really tempted to order this set. 😟 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir TophamHatt Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 Wonder how this will affect prices of the original version. I'd be tempted to buy this and sell my OG one instead. If the former sells for the same price, win-win all round from me. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rapido doing another APT-E run seemed to drop the prices of the NRM ones (I think the only ones at high prices now are those bought by 2nd hand retailers before the re release) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyman7 Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 It should hopefully temper the price of the existing ones a bit (and I have one, but the current resale market in these is bonkers). 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, like the thing is that collectors probably want the first one or both. Likewise that people wanting two trains might want both running numbers. People who run their trains without either will probably settle for either. So I think the older ones will still carry a slight premium but make them more sensible. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mel_H Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 (edited) Clearly there is a demand, judging by the last three months of 'completed sales' on eBay - yep, just three sets sold (or is it the same set twice in one case?). It might take the wind out of the sails of the current optimistic sellers who are looking for £900 upwards... When including the discount, LTM's are almost half the price. Supply and demand. Economics in action! Either way, at least the LTM have provided an option for those who are keen Edited September 26, 2022 by Mel_H 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir TophamHatt Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 One is the same seller twice. They relisted two or three times due to non-payment, progressivly getting less value through each one. Just got to check those numbers - if they're stickers, they're a dud buy IMO. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twitsky Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Still massively on the fence about getting this, on one hand it’s been on the top of my wishlist for years now but I’ll probably have to sell a few things to afford it including my prized XC 220. The original releases seemed to be discounted at 20% as they didn’t sell too well 2nd time round (and that was when the RRP was at £350!). Will have to make my mind up whether to take the 10% discount now or wait and maybe take my chances and see if they discount it at 20% at the LTM if they become stagnant (which I can see being likely). 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were not stickers, but overprints. There were two separate additional renumbered sets including extra cars so three full 8 car sets possible from the original release. I have one original and one of the renumbered sets. The renumbering looks fine, it is noticeable if you look closely but these days do you think anyone will be quibbling at £280 a set?

Sir TophamHatt Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Mine arrived today. Not sure if the extra painted seats and different numbers is worth it but we'll see. Mine had a black dust mark down the side and not sure what's happening around the destination board, so not a good start. Only inspected one coach so far. The numbers are normal - no printing over on this coach at least! 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ouroborus Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 A lighting unit will make all the difference to those seats. But that mark.....😵 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir TophamHatt Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Yeah, although it did rub off with a damp cloth. Need to decide if I should keep this and sell the first gen I have or what. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomScrut Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 They look good. Unfortunately I cancelled my order on this due to other financial commitments and therefore wont be joining the club, but they do look very nice. Envious.com. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
