Bold-Arrow Posted June 3, 2014 Posted June 3, 2014 This reminds me of the Orc Forge fiasco..... didn't it go from sold out to retiring soon to available before it rode into the sunset Quote
No More Monkeys Posted June 3, 2014 Posted June 3, 2014 This reminds me of the Orc Forge fiasco..... didn't it go from sold out to retiring soon to available before it rode into the sunset But it would still mean that SSD is heading for the sunset, so it is unlikely to survive until the movie (though, given Architecture Studio reanimation, who knows..)

No More Monkeys Posted June 3, 2014 Posted June 3, 2014 Now that it's Call to check product Availability do you think we are absolved from the recent purchase limit of 1? I'll probably pass this round but I fall for peer pressure easily. If you missed it, it was actually "sold out" this morning. And if you call SAH CS, it is sold out at the moment 1 Quote
Darth_Raichu Posted June 3, 2014 Posted June 3, 2014 There is always a chance for resurgence until a set is marked "retired item" Quote

Ed Mack Posted June 3, 2014 Posted June 3, 2014 There is always a chance for resurgence until a set is marked "retired item" This is true. Sold out doesn't mean retired. Quote

naf Posted June 3, 2014 Posted June 3, 2014 I love the fact that if you search for "super star destroyer" on LEGO Shop at Home you get the SSD and the A-Wing in your search results 1 Quote

labfreak7 Posted June 3, 2014 Posted June 3, 2014 I think it may be on the brink of retirement, I just cant sink 400 into one set. Good luck to those who stocked up. Quote

Anakinisvader Posted June 3, 2014 Posted June 3, 2014 and that is why you fail. -Yoda Yes but Yoda also skipped out on all his credit card bills when he fled to Dagobah. He didn't leave a forwarding address, just a dead hologram of Obi Wan with directions. 2 Quote

Alfiepops Posted June 3, 2014 Posted June 3, 2014 You would be amazed what goes through people's head when they are sitting trying to come up with any excuse to buy things they want. I never thought i'd spent the money on a SSD. I told myself that I had stopped smoking 10 months ago and therefore I deserved a reward despite spending money on LEGO on a weekly basis. If you buy one you can tell yourself you won't buy any mediocre LEGO sets for several months. If you follow through you are left with a SSD and all that free space that would otherwise be taken up from the average $20 - 30 LEGO you would have bought. It really depends on how much you want it. Go ask your bank manager for a $400 interest free loan for a year and pay him back $1.50 a day and you will still be in the money. You never know you may even put the remainder towards another SSD when the year is up. Quote
TheOrcKing Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 I think it may be on the brink of retirement, I just cant sink 400 into one set. Good luck to those who stocked up.Even for people with the means to, $400 is a ton of cash to plunk down on a single set. If it isn't the process of gathering the money to pay that get you, the amount of space taken to store the thing for an unknown amount of time waiting in hopes of earning back enough money to cover all the inherent costs will. Just stick with what you are comfortable with through better or worse. Quote
legone Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 So, is time for this: or should we still be doing this: 2 Quote
hannibal Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 For you guys on the other side of the ocean it's indeed time to celebrate! Here in Europe it's still available here and there... In fact, last weekend I saw a brand new box of 10221 in the Lego shop in London, only one though. But didn't see any R2-D2 which puzzled me a bit.... I hope 10221 OOS status on lego.com/uk soon gets changed to - sold out! Quote
