I think Lego have looked at the money being spent on the secondary market and have just decided to encourage customers to buy from them first. I don't think your average Lego purchaser is checking the site weekly looking for retiring soon tags so I'm not sure how much impact that has. After all, some sets that were tagged in October/November are already climbing well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And this info is spread all over the online Lego community, so all those people are more aware of sets retiring than in the past. If a buyer has a set in mind they've been meaning to buy, and they see a retiring soon tag on it, they're more likely to buy it before it retires than if it hadn't had a tag on it IMHO. Presumably this is why Lego are doing it. It may not have much impact on us, but it will clearly have some impact if we're missing out on those kinds of buyers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voltron Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Now available at John Lewis, so now TRU and john lewis stock this in UK. Seems like almost all of the big exclusives are no stocked in 2 of the 3 big shops (TRU / smyths / john lewis). 94 in stock for reference: https://m.johnlewis.com/lego-marvel-super-heroes-76042-the-shield-helecarrier/p/3259171 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SageFly Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Picked up my ship-to-store Helicarriers from Walmart today. All 3 in great shape. Haven't seen it come back in stock yet at Walmart. Hopefully that's the end of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like it goes to Sold Out until they get estimated delivery for next shipment. Even 75192 went to Sold Out at one point on day of release.

Val-E Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 This just moved to TOOS at EU shop, which is consistent with other recently retired sets. Expect a retired tag within the week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main hold back for price rises on this one will be how long battered boxes show as available for collection at TRU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmajenga Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 I was wondering if anyone would be able to help me out with checking if an item is 100% complete. I received a Helicarrier a few weeks ago, but there's a huge gouge in the box. Pretty sure everything is there, but I thought I saw on here before that there is a way of checking if all bags are present. If anyone could help me out with that, I'd greatly appreciate it!
