snot Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 As we have seen with 10249 WV Toy Shop, and the upcoming 75159 Death Star, when a set goes into retirement there is no longer any guarantee that it will be able to stay retired. The reasons may be varied, but the facts are that there is a whole new class of Lego sets, those that are Coming Out of Retirement Soon. Sure they might have a few new pieces, a couple of mini figures that had some work done, but for all intents and purposes its the same set. So which is next? My guess: 10179 with a new radar dish. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brickvoyeur Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Star Wars UCS sets are just a matter of time. Wouldn't be surprised to see the Y-Wing in the next year or so. Really overdue for a UCS A-Wing though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c_rpg Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Nice idea, but I think the title is a bit confusing. I thought this was the "retiring soon" thread. Anyway, I think another Black Pearl or something is a possibility for next year. 199€ of course. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exciter1 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 If the Architecture: White House ever retires, I think it will return again quickly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TabbyBoy Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 (edited) I'd put money on a variant of 10179 being on sale within 2 years. If I'm wrong, I'll donate $50 to BP or a charity of their choice ;-) LEGO are missing out on a lot of profit they don't resurrect 10179. If I had 10179s in stock, I'd be getting rid of them asap! I have one left which graded 9.5 in perspex and wrapped in black-out plastic that I'll never sell. As far as I know, the Winter Village Market and Santa's Workshop were resurrected in the UK.

ISO8T0 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 I don't think we'll see another rehash of a MF. Perhaps a 10178 instead of 10179. Maybe they'll do 8274 Combine Harvester like they were supposed to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TabbyBoy Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 I did read somewhere (can't recall where) that LEGO are going to place a "LEGO Again" shop on eBay where buyers can request any retired set and LEGO will supply it within 30 days at current RRP (allowing for inflation ) in a plain box. This alone will mean it's Game Over for LEGO investing. I'll do some digging to see if I can find out more about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have thought of such a thing as well, but there would need to be a healthy premium (to make it worthwhile). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ISO8T0 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 I'm actually surprised they don't have a scratch and dent shop within their online shop. (for returns after they ship their sets with too many F*#k'n air pillows crammed on top) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If yes, they will take the secondary market has well. All of it. But i don't see them printing on demand minifigures.. it's a robot doing it, and cleaning etc everytime isnt worth it, you have to make lot. Any retired set doesnt make senses to me.
