Market Analysis

With retirement expected by December 2026, the window to acquire Snowplough at retail price is closing. Once a City set leaves store shelves, secondary market premiums typically appear within 3-6 months. At the current RRP of €25, buying now locks in the retail price before any post-retirement markup.

Snowplough is currently available on BrickLink from €21 — 16% below the retail price of €25. This below-RRP pricing on the secondary market typically occurs when sellers are clearing excess inventory or when a set is readily available at retail. For buyers, this represents a chance to acquire the set at a discount while it's still in production.

Our Verdict

Strong Buy. Snowplough is retiring soon with a "likely" Crystal Ball grade and a "buy_now" timing signal. This combination of imminent retirement and high appreciation potential makes it one of the best investment opportunities available right now.
