ravenb99 Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 You mean like not releasing the Frozen Lego set _before_ Christmas? Same was supposed to be with the initial disney princess sets but they did come in right before xmas. I'd have to look at my receipt from last year but it was in store around dec 18th.

allen9917 Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Just an alternative to people so sure about TLG keeping R2 for the movie: There are countless lego & SW fans already got the R2. So with the movie coming out, they could put their resources to produce R2 to get more fans to buy it, or they could release something new (and also in the movie) to get all the fans who already got R2 to open their wallets. Why are we so sure the 1st one is definitely the winning move? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inversion Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 You mean like not releasing the Frozen Lego set _before_ Christmas? Actually it is a wise decision. Do you think they could keep up with the initial demand before Christmas? What they would face are angry parents complaining about lack of availability and reseller hyenas. Other LEGO products are still flying off the shelves and the company has difficulties with fulfilling retail orders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedsausage Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Checking out ebay atm, looks like R2 prices are trending above MSRP. Looks pretty promising to me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are we so sure the 1st one is definitely the winning move? This is a really good point. I don't think the market for this set is saturated but there may not be enough additional buyers to keep it alive when that production capacity could be directed elsewhere. And let's be realistic, it's an adult set for Star Wars fans, not a kids play set. The typical buyer for this sort of thing doesn't need a new Star Wars movie to be reminded who R2D2 is.

rich79 Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 I just called lego and they told me this one is done and wont come back. A few months ago i spoke to a lego store manager she told me the next sets will go eol: HH check she was right GE check she was right TH check she was right R2 check were not sure but really looks like it. She told me all this at a point that there where no signs at LEGO Shop at Home about these sets. O and there's one more thing, she said that DS will go soon as wel. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hannibal Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 I've got enough of these so I am very relaxed watching what happens now, I even enjoy it! But I might grab a few more from a store or something as this thing will disappear completely in 2 months! With the 10225 in particular I don't need anyone telling me what makes sense and what doesn't....it's the easiest decision of the year! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Table? putting a plate on 4 LEGO R2D2! chair... same decoration infront of your house? R2D2! (like those two lions infront of chinese restaurants) it will be hilarious! :-) so this is a win-win-win situation 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ciglione Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 If the price is right, of course! It is 149 euro each. I am not so much contemplating about the price. More about the quantity I should buy/be happy with. Call it "quantative easing". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had an email this morning telling me the three additional ones I've ordered at Argos have arrived. Going to pick them up today on the 3 for 2 deal.
