I believe WVM was labeled retired last year as well before making a comeback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephen_rockefeller Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 I thought the only set that has ever done that was the WMV......I don't recall any other set retiring then coming back. I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrickLegacy Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 (edited) I thought the only set that has ever done that was the WMV......I don't recall any other set retiring then coming back. I could be wrong. If you are right, and I haven't been around long enough to say you aren't, what if the only reason they "unretired" the WVM was because of poor sales? The same reason it continues to linger on Amazon. What if they have an original production run and then retire it right after Christmas, expecting it to sell out? I guess we would need seal codes on WVM to test this. Of course, this is pure speculation so it's in the wrong thread. Some veterans can and should correct my logic on this. Disclaimer: I fully expect Santas Worskhop to be available in spurts through the summer, maybe Fall. Edited March 21, 2015 by BrickLegacy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, I thought they did this to a few winter sets and WVM was just the last one. Hmm, maybe it was just an anomaly but it would be surprising if SW was really retiring.

Legodog Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Winter sets are only usually sold from late fall through February or March (if they last that long). WVM is one of the only ones that has stuck around year round (last year) and again this year most likely. In my opinion this is due to poor sales. SW will be back next fall and be sold through Christmas. What is odd is that it should have been gone by now. I'm not sure why Lego keeps producing more. In any case unless something changes WMV should now be retired and SW will go another Christmas with another new winter set being released late fall.

legowalker Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Is there a chart or list where I can see all the retired product's dates? The price guide index does not show the retired dates...only the released dates...maybe Admin/Mods should add that option? It will be great if they do.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Val-E Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 This would seem to suggest a 6 month delay in announcing official retirement of most sets - something to fo with returns policy, maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

legogregors Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Thanks for posting! I am not sure if you got this from Canada or US but the handful I spot checked on US agree with this list. The only one that jumped out at me is the Winter Village Market 10235. It is still available at retail at amazon.com for anyone who completely missed it.
