zskid00 Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 I really don't know what to do about that T-16. Can the Tusken minifigure carry it at a $24.99 buy-in? I'm leaning towards leaving this one alone but it really hasn't been out that long at all.

TheGallows Posted December 10, 2015 Posted December 10, 2015 Lets see how long it takes for the ones on ebay at rrp to clear out. There's loads at the moment, it will be a good indicator for me on whether i decide to buy any at rrp. Got all mine for earlier in the year for £45

Other TLM sets still available as far as I can see. TRU still has 70809 on sale for 40% off at the moment.

Supermox99 Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 The tumbler 76023 has retired on the EU lego site. Hows it looking across the pond?

The thing about the Red 5 being 'sold out' online in the US (across Walmart, Target, TRU, ShopAtHome.com, etc), is that they have been readily available for months on Lego B&M store shelves across the US. I think Lego is hesitant to put the retiring soon or certainly not the retired tag while they are on shelves. It's like begging resellers to get overly aggressive in avoiding limits. That being said, i have no doubt that once in-store inventory is depleted these things are gone. I truly believe that Lego (in the US) did this intentionally. It's easier for them to enforce limits on a few dirty QFLL's when you they get to look them in the eye as you buy them. IE: Hey this guy hasn't showered this week, no X-wing for him. Also the appearance of a full shelf of 5 sets (and more in the back) makes the reseller THINK there are millions of these out there, no rush to scoop them up. In fact, there's around 75 stores in the US, so even if they had 20 sets each, that's 1500 sets. That amount would be gone in a BLINK online if it was marked Retired. I suspect lego "bottlenecked" the remaining Xwings by putting them in Lego brand stores only rather than selling them online to try to keep them in-stores through the holidays. Mission Accomplished, now off to retirement. 2
