Busch97racing Posted November 22, 2013 Posted November 22, 2013 Went to Lego store today, bought the max of 5, my coworker did the same and emptied the shelf. got to the register and instead of ringing up 39.99, they rang up 31.98. Definitely a good score! Quote

waddamon Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 just shows out of stock, not "retired" Quote
boliramirez Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 just shows out of stock, not "retired" But now it says "Retiring Soon"... Quote
Coneil21 Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 But now it says "Retiring Soon"... It has said that before. But I will keep my fingers crossed! Quote
@rtisan Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 Hopefully it`s gone. May come back for another wave though. Just have to wait and see what Lego does. Quote
Spartikis Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 But now it says "Retiring Soon"... They dont change it to retired until its been removed from the listing all together, an example would be weather top, its listed as retired but you cant find it directly under the LOTR theme. Also, very few if any sets go from SOLD OUT to back in stock so i would say this is it for the Orc Forge. Quote
CNH1974 Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 It's not gone until amazon UK runs out of stock....... Quote

TheOrcKing Posted November 26, 2013 Posted November 26, 2013 The current listing does just state "Sold Out". It could return despite the "Retiring Soon" tag same as the previous Series' of Minifigures for this year. Quote
joonhee Posted November 26, 2013 Posted November 26, 2013 Just bought five from Lego Pleasanton CA store today for $31.98. They had about 5 left on the shelf around 3pm. Quote
legoman12323123 Posted November 26, 2013 Posted November 26, 2013 But now it says "Retiring Soon"... Its been saying retiring soon for like 2 months .. than recently they took the retiring soon off for 2 weeks and now they labeled it retiring soon .. I guess legos tricks do work on people lol Quote
Alcarin Posted November 30, 2013 Posted November 30, 2013 Man Amazon bought entire production line and is probably still producing those lol.... CRAZY! Quote
dman2900 Posted December 1, 2013 Posted December 1, 2013 Just bought 3 at Lego Store in Chicago last night......$31.98......and they had a few more on the shelf.... Quote
Soadfan4ever Posted December 1, 2013 Posted December 1, 2013 Anyone near a lego store should definitley check for them. I found a bunch at black Friday for 31.98. Quote
Miami Bomb Squad Posted December 1, 2013 Posted December 1, 2013 yup, my lego store had them also, 31.98. Quote
StealthSleeper Posted December 4, 2013 Posted December 4, 2013 ^ Kinda creepy how everyone had the same price...*shiver* (20% off I assume?) Quote
amnesiac Posted December 18, 2013 Posted December 18, 2013 Hey guys. I wanted to get your guys' thoughts on these two sets and how they would compare as investments. I think both sets have a LOT in common. Orc Forge was released summer of last year and if it is indeed retired it will have had a little over a year in production. Barrel Escape came out a year go in December and many would argue the latest TRU sell off and the LEGO Shop at Home oos may point to retirement sometime in the spring. Both sets were exclusives. Orc to Target and Barrel to TRU. Both had the exact same MSRP (though Target probably was the only one out of the two retailers that actually sold it at that price). Both had a similar piece count and finally both represent very memorable scenes from their respective films (Barrel is an educated guess as I have not seen the movie yet or read the book). How does everyone think they will appreciate immediately after a verifiable EOL and in the long run??? I think because of TRUs overpricing and the fact that Desolation was just released in theaters a lot of the Barrels just sat on shelves. Without the need to be replenished maybe there are a lot fewer out there than the Forges. This is a guess on my part as I wasnt collecting when the Forges were easily attainable at Target and have no idea if they were big sellers. Does anyone think there are MORE Barrels out there than Forges?? Does anybody see one set outperforming the other and if so why??? I love both sets. They both have some really cool play features and the display quality is pretty bad @$$. I cannot see either set performing badly in the future and have a healthy stash of both. Really anxious to hear what you guys think though.... Quote
