fossilrock Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 Just FYI:Started this morning on Canada side Lego.shop.com has labelled each JW sets with:We're sorry that this set is not available. Please check back in February for product availability. Same message now on the US site. Quote

Please check back in February for product availability. OK. I think now we should probably have a "check back" thread to see what happens after these "check back" dates...This is now on too many sets... Edited October 16, 2015 by dcdfan 2 Quote

iahawks550 Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 This probably means production will start back up on these after the first of the year. Makes sense, doesn't it? Unless we want to think the company is leading people to believe these sets will be available in the future when they really won't be. Quote

Unless we want to think the company is leading people to believe these sets will be available in the future when they really won't be.I know Simpsons House was knocked out last 2xvip date in March, and had a "Available in September" date, and that did happen. Also, Santas Workshop also had this message, and it came back too. And currently, the same label is slapped on Ewok Village, and Death Star (although not with a specific date). So, i'm sort of convinced with that message, there is a very good chance it will reappear. The terminology is a little odd, because unlike the DS it's not saying "We are making more", but I think from past history this year, they will be back in February, which is in the dead of winter when people are past the holiday spending spree.

Migration Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 Hmmm. So now we hold (for 2 more weeks) then flip away. Quote
sflv Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 Is it correct to assume that Lego reserves the last of the existing stock for themselves for Shop @ Home? So once these last orders trickle in, these are done for the Christmas season at retail? Quote

Alpinemaps Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 Same message now on the US site.By why would they say "check back in February" if it's the end of the line for these sets? 3 Quote
jbacunn Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 By why would they say "check back in February" if it's the end of the line for these sets? Come on man. You are using common sense and that has no place on BP. 1 Quote
BrickStanley74 Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 By why would they say "check back in February" if it's the end of the line for these sets?Because those that want them now will be so smitten in the new year with "Nexo Knights" that they will have completely forgotten all about JW by then. LEGO can then retire the line in February without a fanfare. Quote
marcandre Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 T-Rex is the only one I had not stocked up on yet. That got me to order a pair How quick are those gone from amz? Within the hour? Quote
tacsniper Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 By why would they say "check back in February" if it's the end of the line for these sets?OMG how many times does this have to be posted... JW line is in the 2016 wholesale order form! So there will at least be one more waive of JW in 2016... if not more... 2 Quote
Alpinemaps Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 A reliable source on here has specifically stated that the Jurassic World sets are on the 2016 order sheet, so I'm not sure why you are still stoking your flame? 1 Quote

LEGO can then retire the line in February without a fanfare.Plausible theory, that I also think is "possible" with Ewok Village and DS, but i'm starting to have my doubts and think they will be back. That message is fairly clear, and judging from the amount of stock with Simpsons House, and Santas Workshop when they became available again, i'd suspect there will be a fair amount which will suppress the resale value quite a bit until they are truly retired.

trekgate502 Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 So I have not said or asked much on thisI also absolutely believe it will be back I want to ask a question it does not change my opinion it will absolutely be backIs the whole sale order form perfect ?Has every time for all time it never had a set on it for the next year that ended up being not available ?Again JW will be back in my opinion but I want to know if this whole sale catalog order form can be considered PERFECTI highly doubt it Quote

I've been a believer that these sets are going to stick around for awhile, despite what a select few have said around here. Quote
marcandre Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 The news for me is not if it will be back but that it won't be back until Feb. This line will be gold in late Nov if that is true. 3 Quote
fuzzy_bricks Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 The news for me is not if it will be back but that it won't be back until Feb. This line will be gold in late Nov if that is true. This could apply for all retailers, but I take it to mean that LEGO Shop at Home won't have any until Feb. I think it's possible there may be stock sent out to other retailers, where more people would be likely to see/get it. Regardless, it should do well. Quote

Messages on LEGO Shop at Home speak for itself and shouldn't be assumed for all retailers. Quote
