cmartin33 Posted October 31, 2018 Posted October 31, 2018 Did anyone else notice the "MANY RETIRING SOON" wording on pg. 39 of the US 2018 Holiday catalog? What does everyone think it means? The sets listed on pages 38 & 39 are below: 41152 Sleeping Beauty Castle - relatively new but there is another Disney castle play set 10247 Ferris Wheel - already confirmed to be retiring soon? 10246 Detectives Office - already confirmed to be retiring soon? 75060 Slave I - not retiring? 75205 Mos Eisley Cantina - very new 31080 Modular Winter Vacation - pretty new 42056 Porsche - already confirmed to be retiring soon? 21312 - Women of Nasa - ???? 60110 Fire Station - probably retiring soon? 10405 Mission to Mars - pretty new 41324 Snow Resort Ski Lift - probably retiring soon? 21144 The Farm Cottage - probably retiring soon? 1 Quote
fantomas007 Posted October 31, 2018 Posted October 31, 2018 Most of the sets are expected for retiring (slave, porsche, ferris), some are a suprise (detective office). Are there also other exclusive sets notices as retiring soon? Other modular, or UCS set? Quote

Great sets for your wish list, many retiring soon. my take on the wording is not all the sets listed are retiring, only part of them. could be wrong tho Quote

Remember Ferrari and the short run Two Face among aothers. Quote
Val-E Posted October 31, 2018 Posted October 31, 2018 US reseller scum all got the catalogue as FW and DO are both now out of stock at US SAH.... Quote
Pseudoty Posted November 1, 2018 Posted November 1, 2018 I got my catalog today and the first thing I noticed was the recycled paper it was printed on and how the luster that really made the sets pop no longer exists. That new Capital city Set looks nice will have to pick that up at TRU on BF ? 1 Quote
