Or, rather, the cat does it anyway and I’m claiming credit!
Does this mean they will be back in stock or is it Lego speak for they are now discontinued?
They have both been around awhile so now is a good time for me to panic.
one for myself I should find one soon at a Lego store ? ( to build not to resell )
(there is no “retiring soon” label so your guess is as good as any)
'Reitiring Soon'.... as we make the next batch and then it doesn't sell as well as a replacement product...
I'm sure there'd be more than one or two...
I'd certainly be placing an order for a yellow, green, blue or every other colour version they release!!!😬😫
I think they are buried where all those ET Atari games went.
:-)
That has me super worried about the Hogwarts Great Hall that has been out of stock for a few weeks. I had hoped to get it at 20% eventually, but I missed the couple opportunities in March because of COVID lockdown.
But, so far, the modulars seem to hold or gain value after they're retired. Anything that's harder to get will always do better. Gifts with purchase, especially for popular lines like Star Wars and Harry Potter usually do well. Spend some time looking through Bricklink to figure out your own patterns of what lines and types of sets have done the best. Get sets similar to those. That's the best guess anybody will be able to make.
Would you look at Tower Bridge and the Camper Van though. What kind of madness is this. Camper Van is out of stock everywhere, but [email protected] says backorder for 45 days so that would indicate they are making more. I don't know if I would buy any more vans, but I wish I hadn't sold my TBs.
I've been very spoiled with May 4 and Black Friday sales helping me catch up on my wishlist backlog (from my dark ages) a little more ... cash efficiently.
In addition to the Hogwarts Great Hall, there are some large sets I expect to retire in 2020, and had planned/hoped to get for a decent discount:
1) Tantive IV (maybe "expect" is too strong, but it might, so I will be careful with this one. Will jump on any discount on May 4.)
2) 20th Anniversary Slave I (don't need this one like some of the others, so I might jump on a good May 4 or Black Friday discount.)
3) Roller Coaster
4) Assembly Square
5) Steamboat Willie
6) Ideas Treehouse (will probably buy with any discount)
7) Dinosaur Fossils
8) Upside Down (will only buy if it's a really good Black Friday discount like one of the daily 40% off deals. If I miss out on it, I won't be upset)
I'm definitely a little worried that the surge in buying paired with production slowdowns are going to mess some of this up because Lego may simply not have any left that it needs to clear out come December. A few of those I may just go on and buy if they're in stock at the next Double VIP promo or if there's a really interesting GWP.
It's weeks now since I've seen anything decently discounted at Amazon or anywhere else.
(I have the benefit of family member that cuts hair - so my Male-pattern-baldness cranium remains well-trimmed.)
Yeah I have a bald top of my head and get a clipper cut normally, so I'm praying for the local Supercuts to reopen. While I guess I could buy some clippers and do the job myself, the problem is I do not want to look like Im shedding, or worse yet, that my floor is growing hair.
Buildings in Harry Potter are primarily castles. There was the Shrieking Shack and The Burrow which are also noteworthy HP buildings, but #10217 is the only other modular like buildings currently in HP. Any new ones would be welcome.
