labfreak7 Posted February 24, 2018 Posted February 24, 2018 The moc and the diner itself look like friends sets. The ugliest modular by a wide margin. Anyone who lives in the US has seen their share of the old school 50’s retro diners. Lego designers were obviously inspired by that and got it spot on. The colors are right. Quote

binary_storm Posted December 14, 2018 Posted December 14, 2018 I noticed this is tagged as "hard to find" on LEGO SAH UK. Does that mean anything? For comparison, pretty much all of the modulars are similarly tagged, except for Assembly Square. Quote

Could possible stand for 'Hard to find enough money to pay for it' 1 1 Quote

For comparison, pretty much all of the modulars are similarly tagged, except for Assembly Square. They do this with most direct to consumer (D2C) sets. It's hard to find because they don't stock them on shelves except LEGO retail stores (and previously TRU). Most big retailers carry them online though (Walmart, Amazon, Target). Quote
marcandre Posted October 16, 2020 Posted October 16, 2020 Diner I ordered from LEGO Shop at Home in August just shipped. Could be coming back into stock there for one last run (hopefully) Quote

elmaslıefendi Posted November 9, 2020 Posted November 9, 2020 Everybody & their grandma bought it already. There goes a 10251/10246 Scenario. They just cranked out too much. 2 Quote

They just cranked out too much. I agree and stopped buying them during the summer. I think if things stay or tend back to normal the returns will be like other modulars have trended. But heading into flu season it could very well spike up again. Quote
MotorCityMuscle Posted November 9, 2020 Posted November 9, 2020 Maybe it will be one of the discounted sets come Black Friday. Quote

marcandre Posted November 9, 2020 Posted November 9, 2020 I'll be happy if it's around for the holiday promos. Black Friday would be even sweeter. Those only last a couple minutes anyways. Quote

This is not like the Saturn V which was brought back due to "popularity"...I don;t think that was ever "the plan" prior to Saturn's retirement. The ONLY reason I can think of is a strategic offensive against resellers 2 Quote

I very much hope it's not true, just like I said I am not sure of it. want to see if anyone on this forum will concur this Quote
