More resellers buy FB because of EOL speculations, thus TLG makes more FB and delaying EOL due to the "demand". Meanwhile, since resellers' resources got tied up in FB, the "demand" for GE goes down. TLG decides to EOL GE (instead of FB) due to low demands...
Then again maybe resellers should take credit for allowing little Timmy the opportunity to buy FB for a whole year longer so he didn't have to get trampled at last years BF sales. Who's hating resellers now?
Darth-Mart or Darthazon could be responsible.
We all know that hyped purchasing on one item can impact supply/demand on other related items and influence aftermarket positions.
A great example of this is: The 1989-1990 Score Football Set
1989 Set was underproduced (high prices/popularity); 1990 Set is overproduced (low prices/demand) - then the 1990 update comes out, nobody buys it and prices/demand skyrocket.
I don't think this is the case with either FB and GE. But just showing that it can happen. And I think this scenario can happen in the Lego world.
Whenever FB does retire, it will be a very strong indicator of what's to happen with GE, PS and the current modular market.
Dang, and I was hoping that I could wait on the Maersk Train. Too many things being discontinued behind my back.
But I do appreciate Pitfall69's snapshot of Emmitt there. Nice!
Yes, let's hope Lego doesn't follow that trend. I don't think it will for obvious reasons, but anything is possible.
Soccer( Ya I'm a Yank ) stadiums might do bettter.
I like the idea of an open ended stadium, perhaps they could do a Baseball Park and then you could combine two of them to make a Football/Soccer/Rugby stadium or an Athletics Track & Field.
I saw it as sold out on LEGOs site, but TRU had them still so I got a couple in order to get the minifig set.
Im guessing the Airport will probably be on its way out as well.
