My latest received from LEGO Shop at Home was manufactured 141118 in Mexico

Well, they're not even trying to disguise the dates.

It's quite impressive that they're STILL cranking out Death Stars as of a month ago whereas other sets in store have production dates from early 2013.

 

The demand for this set is UNREAL considering its price point.

 

I can only imagine what will happen when you can't click buy it now on amazon for 399.99

There was at least one period this year - spring/summer? - when it was OOS at LEGO Shop at Home and a few other retailers, and prices went up a little.  Anyone remember that?... what was the going rate then?   ...or am I remembering things that didn't happen (again)?

Yes in fact its documented in this very thread around July.

 

It was out of stock at all major retailers, but Lego.com had it backordered with late July shipping, limit 5. They did fulfill those, and they've returned at several retailers since then.

 

Target.com even upped the price to $560.99 (even though it was out of stock).

 

That shows us that Target raising the price doesn't ALWAYS mean the set is about to retire.

One at Hamleys (LHR T5) 5 had seal code 46S4.  Box not good as probably picked up and dropped several times.  Also 20% above RRP - duty free, my arse!
