Jurrasic World sets are still on the shelves???

bobabricks · August 2016

I just noticed today that Jurrasic World sets are still in stock on Lego.com. I thought all of these sets retired long ago. I definitely haven't seen any at my local Lego store since at least February.

Did these recently come back in stock, or have I just gone bonkers and these sets never went away?

Bricklover18 · August 2016

They have been in stock at my local Walmart forever.

Russell844 · August 2016

I've seen them at several Targets too.

monkeyhanger · August 2016

Here in the UK, they're all still available in my local Lego store, except the "Raptor Escape" set that retired very early on. #75920.

SumoLego · August 2016

^ Friggin' Raptor Escape.

Grumble.

dspigel · August 2016

Can still find them here in Hawaii.

One of my Walmarts has Jurrasic World sets on clearance for up to half off. If they have this set, do you want me to get one for you?

SumoLego · August 2016

They've been long, long, long gone...

MrJ_NY · August 2016

Yes that set is long gone but it doesn't keep me from looking whenever I stop by a Walmart, hoping an employee cleans out the storeroom & puts a few on the shelf. You never know what they'll find back there. On a trip there less than a month ago I found this

I wish I had a local Walmart, closest one is pretty far away. :/

Seems like they never did go away. I remember after market prices being sky high not that long ago.

ryjay · August 2016

At Walmarts, Targets and TRU's....and each one has had a round of 20% off sales too on 'em

SumoLego · August 2016

^ I'm sure @Thanos75's local store have a full shelf of Raptor Escapes and The Zombies.

That would be pretty spectacular, as The Zombies was a Target exclusive... ;)

And a free white range finder with every purchase...

Bumblepants · August 2016

I seem to recall hearing that they sold so strongly they decided to extend the lifespan into this year.

That's a kind offer, but i'm sure that particular one was eol'd about a year ago, not sure why it didn't last as long as the others. If you did by some miracle manage to find one then I would be very grateful, but i'm sure there's no chance.

MattDawson · August 2016

Still plenty in my local TRU.

SeanTheCollector · August 2016

After #75920 Raptor Escaped was retired, I found the whole series difficult to get in the UK. I know because I rushed out to buy all the sets. I had delayed buying them, hopying for discounts which never came!
Since then, they have become easy to buy on Amazon, at TRU and at other shops. I have even seen an odd discount on Amazon.

I believe Jurrassic World 2 will be hitting the cinemas around June 2018. Maybe they committed to another wave of sets for the new movie. Since there are so many unique parts required in this theme (i.e. the dinosaurs). Perhaps it makes sense to keep the old sets in production even if they aren't high profit margin items.

SumoLego · August 2016

I still see a similar level of stock for the Scooby-Doo theme. There may have been a late 2015 production run, but we are probably seeing the last of the current sets.

(I find that the Lego Retail Store is a much better barometer for what themes will be replenished. No Scooby-Doo or JW at the retail store!)

This is always an interesting situation, because did they have strong sales due primarily to the movie release or great sets...or both? It would be a mistake to produce and carry on for another season if Lego produced sets based upon the initial popularity. But who knows how many sets were produced for a second run.

I just think once the movie is gone these kinda fall off the table.

I think these sets would remain interesting without the film - there aren't many 3-8 year old boys who aren't mad about Dinosaurs, and want them when they see them on the shelves. They always glean a lot of interest in my local Lego store.

Venunder · August 2016

I think these sets are still around because very few were bought.

I have not seen any decent reductions on the price of these sets. Which could be another reason they are still around?

SumoLego · August 2016

They sold a ton of the JW sets over here, particularly around Christmas.

If they're still around and the retailers would like them not to be, i'd expect to have seen reductions. As it is, i've not seen any specific reductions on those sets, I bought mine on 3 for 2s at either Argos or Tesco.

Fauch · August 2016

never seen any in shops. I think they don't want to take risks with non-evergreen / big-bang themes.

dspigel · August 2016

I got an email from TRU. Buy one Jurassic Park set get the next 40% off. Just a thought.

Scott1 · September 2016

There's still some JW at my local Toys R Us, but then again, that's the same store that still has loads of Chima and plenty of the Ninjago MechDragon left.

Has this always been listed like this or are they actually getting more stock?

For those unable to google translate, it says 75920 is "temporarily" out of stock, allowing me to order for €38.96.

snowhitie · December 2016

^ that's cool - it's the only one I don't have, it was up to 40 now but even that is a good price. It is out of stock like you said but wieg amazon that happens quite often.

@monkeyhanger you should be able to get one from the UK, @SumoLego don't know if this would work too send to US? I'd order two and send you one but I'm worried they might cancel my order if I do that.

monkeyhanger · December 2016

Snowhitie: Thanks for the heads up - the only set I don't have in the JW series. I doubt more stock will be in as it hasn't been available anywhere for quite a while, but i've placed the order for one in hope.

sid3windr · December 2016

Last time I was at the Lego store here in Belgium I noticed some JW sets for the first time...

Greendude · December 2016

Now it's listed for €38.20, it's changing price often...does this suggest an active product or some mess up with an automated stock system?

snowhitie · December 2016

^ it's very very strange... I'm keeping my fingers crossed the order actually comes through!

aduk · December 2016

We can all live in hope that the Raptor escape set turns up . It has been listed in Amazon.fr for a while - I ordered mine on 8th October!

ImABrickManNow · December 2016

My local TRU has had Raptor escape on their shelves for the longest time, and its STILL priced at 40-ish dollers

Bricklover18 · December 2016

I've seen all the other ones on the shelves this year besides #75920.

teal93mr2 · December 2016

Problem with these was they were all too pricy and IMO unimaginative. I didn't know that the #75920 was rare. I just saw some a few weeks ago at one of my local TRUs.

Interesting.. thought the Raptor Escapes were Walmart exclusives. Or are you referring to JW theme being at TRU as a whole?

Im not surprised that JW could be at some TRUs still. They constantly over price these sets and there were reports that Lone Ranger sets lingered for about the same length of time. I understand that TLR was not as popular as JW, but I think TRUs pricing ways are a bigger indictment than JW somehow being not that popular.

Greendude · December 2016

OK...it's now unavailable on amazon.fr, except for marketplace...but my order is still active...wonder how this will all end...

Jurrasic World sets are still on the shelves???
