Val-E Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 (edited) For anyone who has got up late, there is a very interesting sale on at EU Lego shop with 30% off a number of items.Notable mentions are:Exo SuitLego Movie (exept Sea Cow)Star Wars Micro Fighters series 1Mixels Series 4SW B WingUltra Agents and Marvel selected setsChima selected sets.Hobbit lineThis seems to suggest retirement for a wave of sets in June but no exclusives.UPDATE: Items are being moved to SOLD OUT status as soon as there is no stock left so on past evidence we can assume they are retired.

tacsniper Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Interesting... in the past, have sales like this move to other regions as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val-E Posted June 24, 2015 Author Share Posted June 24, 2015 (edited) It would appear to be the same items in all EU zone shops so I guess retiring sets will also be promo´ed in North America if they want to reduce stock quickly. Series 4 mixels are already reduced in US shop..... Edited June 24, 2015 by valenciaeric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wceagles Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 btw AU region missed out again (only got Exo Suit!)noticed that some of the new wave of Ultra Agents are also included Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val-E Posted June 24, 2015 Author Share Posted June 24, 2015 (edited) I am waiting to see what happens with the B Wing - it should sell out today and then we can see if it is retired or not. If it does, there will be a run on all the 2014 SW sets..... Edited June 24, 2015 by valenciaeric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tpkuk Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 (edited) Was this a flash sale or a mistake - prices now back to normal, but lots of items marked as retired after selling out?Page must have cached, sale prices now back Edited June 24, 2015 by nbrumby Additional info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feed Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Received an email this morning listing the sale and some of the sale items, so not a complete mistake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Val-E Posted June 24, 2015 Author Share Posted June 24, 2015 (edited) So, some conclusions that could be drawn from the sale:Hobbit and Movie themes are finished. Last chance saloon to grab the few remaining sets in either range.Chima is being wound down - expect the last wave of released sets to go by Xmas.Ultra Agents is in the new catalogue but all sets reduced so much means it may be finished too. SupriseArctic theme seems to be hanging around a while longer.A few odd poor selling sets like Exo, B wing and police control are being got rid of too.

pawel_przybyla Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 In Poland lego.com works properly. Lucky strike with refreshing website 02:30 AM - all of sets were available. So I decided to invest asap :)) To personal collection: 1x Battle of the Five Armies [Hobbit] and 1x Dol Guldur Battle [Hobbit] and as a investment in two steps: 20x Hobbit - Mirkwood Elf Army 5x Hobbit - Lonely Mountain and creme de la creme 10x Ninjago - Battle for Ninjago. Ufff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val-E Posted June 24, 2015 Author Share Posted June 24, 2015 Home for lunch and checking what is still left and there is not a lot.Amazed that Bwing is still available as there were not that many units in stock at the start of the day.Interesting to see if the sets that are now marked call for availabilty will be retired or restocked.

Val-E Posted June 24, 2015 Author Share Posted June 24, 2015 70147 has gone to sold out status (expected retired product) so it seems the older Chima stuff won´t be coming back either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redcell Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Everyone in the U.S. should pay attention to the sets that were a part of this sale and have already clicked over to "Retired Product" on the EU website. Although it doesn't happen every time, a product selling out across the pond is generally pretty good evidence that the product is going EOL so grab 'em while you can.

fantomas007 Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 I really dont understand what happen.... Discounts - Sold out - Retired Hobbit sets within few hours, without any warnings and out of classic sale days (black friday, beginning of the year), and EOL just after 6 months.... what to say.... I have nothing from the last Hobbit wave, I have thought that have lot of time, and I refused to pay horrible full price for Lonely Mountain and other sets. I am really frustrated, because panic buying of Lonely mountain is a nightmare. This set is really overpriced, normally the half price is too much for such set...The LOTR/Hobbit had to have horrible sale numbers, when TLG decided to not continue with 3.wave LOTR and to kill so quickly the 3.wave of Hobbit sets. But it was also a big fault of TLG how they f***d the third Hobbit wave (horrible designed and overpriced sets with repeating the figs) - they should make an exclusive AFOL-oriented Minas Tirith instead such stupid small sets, they had to know that children are not buying these sets and that the orientation to AFOLs is the only way.

And that's the case, and the BWing is on the list - then man, there is a serious lack of BWing love in the Lego Universe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val-E Posted June 24, 2015 Author Share Posted June 24, 2015 Wow, the last Hobbit set has gone too and that had loads in stock. The keychains are gonna sell out before the Bwing does at this rate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
