justapilgrim Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 we have a retiring soon speculation thread, the actual retiring thread, but there is no "why won't this set die!!!" threadI have 4 girls, so started early foolish time investing with the Friends line.can I include the entire friends line as well as the princess stuff ( see DC and Cindy castle)?I still see series 3 mixels and series 12 minifigures everywherethe minecraft microworlds I thought would die last xmas, but the forest and end keep their never ending supply going.besides the usual suspects (TB and DS) what haunts you? 1 Quote
Alpinemaps Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 I think Arctic Batman and Lex Luthor Battlesuit fit into this category pre retirement. Eco-Suit must fit into this category now. Quote

Ciglione Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 My list:PS, T1, 60008 Museum Break-in, 70803 Cloud Cuckoo Palace, 70816 Benny SSSBut the most important one is 10249 Winter Toy Shop. It died but it will be resurrected. Can't it just die before it gets launched? Please? Quote

Frank Brickowski Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 ...from the thread title I first thought this was not about Lego sets. Quote

I joined this party very very late, so selfishly if it kills the resale market, I don't mind at all. I just want those sets!! Quote

Huskers1236 Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 My shelving units tell me that T1 in #1 on the list, with Tower Bridge right behind. Until yesterday I would have said WV Market. Death Star being the oldest living set will make it an obvious, popular choice, but since I only have a couple and will stay that way I quit worrying about what that set was doing some time ago. 10240 is another that I personally would like to see die, but it's really not THAT old yet compared to sets like Pet Shop, T1 and Tower Bridge. 1 Quote

biking_tiger Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 PS, please Zeus, PS!Any rumor of a new modular? I fear PS will stay with us into 2016... Quote
binici Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 Lone Ranger - silver mine shootout: still on sale everywhere & no one's buying even at 50% off. Wow, I just checked where your location was and I'm baffled! 1 Quote
Thumper Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 Wow, I just checked where your location was and I'm baffled! Capitol city eh?... everyone's baffled 'round here - I think they pump something into the air from parliament hill. Quote
TheOrcKing Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 I'm sure this is redundant and most probably feel the same but I seriously honestly want the Death Star to just die. I'm tired of looking at it, tired of hearing about it, so for the love of Yoda and everything The Force, just die. Please. Quote
DenJ91 Posted January 9, 2016 Posted January 9, 2016 16 minutes ago, justapilgrim said: DC plz Is that Dolphin Cruiser? If so, I have a couple of those and I would also like that to go away. It says "sold out" and I'm seeing less in the wild, but they are still out there a bit. Not sure of potential on anything Friends and I have a few sets I wish I hadn't bought but the DC could do somewhat OK I suppose. Quote
justapilgrim Posted January 9, 2016 Author Posted January 9, 2016 Yes, and I still see them everywhere. Honestly I have seen all the princess stuff clearanced, the elf line, shopping malls, the works.....and DC sits there at MSRP Quote
Val-E Posted January 9, 2016 Posted January 9, 2016 There´s been a few deaths recently but I think Pet Shop has to be the one that people have most tied up in and hasn´t gone. I don´t count T1 as the minivan was itself in production for about 681 years so it has a way to go yet. 2 Quote
