Guest TabbyBoy Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Are you talking Dolphins or FBs? Sorry, I went off-track. Dolphins. FBs at that price would've sold even before listing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcandre Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 I just ordered one from Target. Only place I could find it online for retail price. My first one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comicblast Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 OK, How do y ou make the difference finally ? I thought sold out and EOL are same. Yannick Sold out sets can be replenished. It just means that LEGO hasn't produced enough of the set to meet demand. EOL=End of Line = LEGO is not going to produce any more of that set. It can be distinguished when LEGO changes the status to retired. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinP Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 OK, How do y ou make the difference finally ? I thought sold out and EOL are same. Yannick Sold out means that there could be more made due to the insufficient supply of sets and EOL is when Lego stops making a set completely. You can tell if the set is retired by seeing if they still sell it at LEGO Shop at Home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CNH1974 Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 It vanishing from all the stores mentioned above "suggests" EOL - or that they have not produced enough for the Christmas rush (like Sopwith Camel last year). For the first time on Ebay UK NISB auctions are finishing above RRP; two went for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alcarin Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Fire Brigade will be the ultimate test for Modulars.....
