9516 sold out on many sites
Couldn't post under the Jabba Palace discussion. The website is requiring a login, but then doesn't register my email, but I am fine over here. But I noticed, not only is Amazon sold out, but Walmart, Target, Meijer and Kmart. Lego is still selling and Target still has in stores. My guess is that the major retailers are pulling in order to be PC until they figure out what is really going on. Just glad I got mine when I did.

But is it really worth it to make $15 per set, then have customers demand a return when they figure out it isn't really gone?
No, not really. :)
TLG have said that they will continue selling through 2013 and this fact has moreorless been advertised in every news report. Given shelves are empty just 3 months through it, would TLG not just continue to replenish them for the remaining 9 months.
Why clamber over everybody to get the last remaining sets in month 3 when you can just buy over the next 6-9 months? What's the rush? Is this a case of buying up and reselling to customers who have misunderstood the situation and think it's already gone?
I'm sorry. I don't get it!?
Why do you think we get the politicians we get (of all colors and stripes)? Because most people don't actually pay any attention and have no clue as to what is really going on.
Same thing here.
But I haven't seen a single article saying "TLG to stop selling". I have however seen dozens of articles saying "TLG to stop selling in 2014". Even my dad quoted it to me over dinner last night.
So who is it that's buying them up now? Resellers or illiterate consumers?
I think @LFT has called it right, but what do I know!?

Even that was stil not enough to make me bite.
This set will be EOL as planned in dec ´13. and seeing this panic buying is funny.
But I have to admit I also bought it in...read the article in the morning, went shopping for groceries in the afternoon, There is a toy shop besides the supermarket that I almost always visit, and they had 3 boxes left with a big mark "50%" on it....Guess what i did...
LOL
Seeing some "entrepreneurs" on NYC CL putting them up for $140-150. I'm sure there will be unsuspecting folks getting catfished.
Lego certainly know what to do the next time a set isnt selling as well as they hoped :)
I also made the rounds today and it still looks like these are on physical shelves at both of the Wal-Marts and the Target in my area. I guess we just don't keep up on all the LEGO news around these parts.
Amazon has 4 left.
People for flipping these quickly now though!
