Littlek9b Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 2 came from TRS today and also mint in lego boxes. Hubby ordered 4 with his new TRU credit card at same time. I actually placed order and forgot about sales tax and it took him over his temporary pass credit limit. TRU "suspended" order bc $40 over! We called and tried to pay with another card, cancel one of the four sets, pay credit card over phone then, anything. They would not help at all and the set sold out in meantime. Guess I shouldn't complain...got 2 anyway. Quote

biking_tiger Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Just received a third notice from LEGO LEGO Shop at Home that one I have on back order "might be a little longer." If it ships, good, if not, okay. Glad I still grabbed a few from Target before the Horde descended. Quote
Heart Juggler Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 (edited) Is the general consensus that this set is to be gone soon? Edited February 3, 2015 by Heart Juggler Quote

trekgate502 Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Is the general consensus that this set is to be gone soon? If you look back, this thread is an interesting read and has been fun. But the bottom line is no one has any idea. Well Lego corporate might but we don't know. Quote
biking_tiger Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Can I ask about when you placed your back order? Thinking of ordering some through them. December 30. Pretty sure Red Five is not standing by. 1 Quote
jaxman Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 10240 is listed as "Available Now" pretty consistently across regions other than the US (Australia, Germany, UK, France, Spain). I'm too new at this game to know what that is indicative of. Quote
JoshB Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 All of mine from Toys R Us came in Lego boxes and all were mint. I have great luck with Toys R Us but these were unusually good quality. I hope everyones comes that way. I also received two on Saturday in a lego shipping box. Both 10240's came in excellent condition. 1 Quote

I'm too new at this game to know what that is indicative of. Star Wars sets seem to last longer outside of America. The SSD did at least. Quote
trekgate502 Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Star Wars sets seem to last longer outside of America. The SSD did at least. There is I think a more ferocious Star Wars fan base here (exclude all brickpickers) the US consumes Star Wars stuff left and right Quote
jaxman Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 So does the stateside 30 day shipment delay indicate they are pulling inventory from other regions to meet US orders, or is it more likely that it's another production run? I guess that's the 64,000 question. Quote

jay4e Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 So does the stateside 30 day shipment delay indicate they are pulling inventory from other regions to meet US orders, or is it more likely that it's another production run? I guess that's the 64,000 question. as far as I have seen 30 days can mean any of 3 things. 1. The set is not done but currently there is no eta on new stock. this likely means a production run is not yet scheduled but planned. 2. They are pulling overstock from other regions, but shipping times are unknown. this is less common but does happen. 3. Their are no plans to produce more of these, but they do not want to tell us. this is one "sign" of EOL. Red5 is likely in category 3, but since stock is still pretty high in B&M stores they do not want a run of resellers grabbing them up. 1 Quote
mscheaf Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 My Lego store had three rows of Red 5 on the shelf. I mentioned they had a lot and the guy said he had more in back too. On a Sunday. The day before shipments come in. I still bought one since that what I went there for but I am sitting on the 5 I have until actual EOL comes then I might panic buy a couple more. The ones they had were all 43R4 Quote

That said, Red 5 could be going soon or could be around another 2 years and reflood. No one knows and I have no inside info from anyone to indicate it is retiring Quote
asharerin Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 So does the stateside 30 day shipment delay indicate they are pulling inventory from other regions to meet US orders, or is it more likely that it's another production run? I guess that's the 64,000 question. In the past available in 30 days has meant a new packing run in Mexico. So the new batch coming to the USA will have 05 seals. As for production of the pieces inside the set nobody knows. They could have 12 months worth of pieces stockpiled, or they could have 2 months, or they could be making new pieces as I type. They may have very few pieces/boxes left and may not make more and may not be able to satisfy backorders. You will need to take an educated guess armed with the knowledge it is a poor seller and production capacity and shelf space is not unlimited. If LEGO Shop at Home cancels backorders then you can say with certainty it is done with no more coming to LEGO Shop at Home. Any extras will then go to amazon and big box for the F5 game. 1 Quote
jaxman Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Thanks for the help. I'm just trying to figure this out. We've got 10240 with a 30 day shipment delay, but widely available in other regions. Then we've got the EEE, which is Sold Out (not even a 30 day delay) in many international regions, but Available in the US. My guess is that the EEE is done and they are just clearing remaining inventory, but I'm not sure about Red 5. Quote
asharerin Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 30 day means at least one more packing run. Being early on I would guess it won't be small or the last. Just MO. Quote

justapilgrim Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Mine ordered from Jan 24th from LEGO Shop at Home isn't back ordered, it's "waiting on shipment" Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Brickpicker mobile app Quote
