Regardless of history, it wouldn't make sense for them to produce these past 11/15. 2 Quote

thoroakenfelder Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 It makes no sense to produce a bunch more perishable items at this point in time. Production takes X amount of time, Shipping takes Y amount of time and hoping to sell enough to make an entire production run profitable in 27-(X+Y). Because They're not going to spin up production to make 1/2 or 1/4 batches of something seasonal when they've got to get January 2016 product on pallets. Sure there's a lot of these out there already, but LEGO already made the profit that they calculated for them. Producing more eats into their profit margin, especially if they have to put them on discount in 30-45 days to get them out of the shop before TFA wave 2 comes along. Quote

I remember getting in late last year and scoring about 5 or so in late November, so yes, there will almost certainly be sporadic restocks, but they will sell out quickly. The key question is whether or not ppl have already heavily invested in these. I have only three but will be monitoring the situation to determine my next move. The season of Advent begins on Nov 29 and continues into December. That is when you will see prices at their peak. What that top price is ... Who knows. Quote

Much sturdier than those used by Kmart, Target, Walmart, and Amazon. I sent out 30 advents last year in the priority box. If you fill in the voids with kraft paper and tape up the corners real good it is a very sturdy box for it's size. I did not have one complaint Quote
