tacsniper 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. Resellers will continue to wipe them off the shelves as soon as they are spotted. Consumers stand very little chance. 1 Quote
xeeeej Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 idk about that, maybe in original form but reincarnated into another...I normally don't buy into conspiracy theories, but this one is marvelous! 3 Quote

Migration Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 idk about that, maybe in original form but reincarnated into another...new BP party game, guess the secret Mscheaf identity. 1 Quote

trekgate502 Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 Based on what I can sell JW for now even with the spigot on almost every 48 hours or less it is no trap Quote
gregpj Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 new BP party game, guess the secret Mscheaf identity. Or let's not.... this isn't time place for it. Maybe Cyber Monday trivia. Seriously folks, we've had our fun, let's go back to JW. Quote
Migration Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 Based on what I can sell JW for now even with the spigot on almost every 48 hours or less it is no trapyep. Should be lucrative this year. Quote
FiveAlive Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 idk about that, maybe in original form but reincarnated into another...Don't mean to argue, but i think the Mack's have IP tracking in place to prevent banned or existing users to just create a new ID on the site. Quote
danevere Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 They could be messing with us, I ordered 2 RRs with estimated ship date 28 Oct....they were dispatched the very next day, no hold ups, no fuss.....??? Anyone considered that all these TOOS could be lego trying to catch investors out and destabilise the secondary market? Quote

Problem is Lego aren´t selling them and they don´t know what stock is left in shops. Quote

Would be terrible if their new tactic would be to rotate their stocks shelf life potentially prolonging retirement for years? That said it wouldn't fit with their ethos of keeping the brand "fresh". Thanks for clearing that up for me though. Quote

Thanks for clearing that up for me though.I think that their "new" strategy is simply to cull off the lines or sets that don´t meet initial expectations and extend the life of those that do well. For every T1, PS or DS we ca get a Sea Cow, Brick Bounty or Ultra Agents.Regarding JW, there is still stock in the EU so we just need to watch for developments over the pond. I am of the same opinion as Emazers on this one - it makes no sense to retire these sets now. 1 Quote
fossilrock Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 I don't think it takes much for that to happen. Anyway, back to the thread.. Up until today, everything was fairly cryptic with what lego was doing with this theme. Now with that message, it's quite clear, and the point of the game is to adapt, figure out what you want to sacrifice, or keep and move on and reinvest.It still makes little sense that this line is not available for christmas… especially when the Force Awakens doesn't come out a week before that day.. So, why hold out on obviously a popular line for that one is a head scratcher. That just seems like poor decision making on some executives behalf, but whatever. Quote
Migration Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 Dude, give it a rest. You were wrong, get over it. If you would have shown some tact in the past or would try to now you would have a much better time here. 2 Quote
Guest Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 Dude, give it a rest. You were wrong, get over it.

Exactly, instead he passes of speculation as pure fact and personally insults all those who don't agree. And then wonders why people enjoy telling him he was wrong. Some people... Quote
pete411 Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 I was told two weeks ago from a very talkative Lego employee that JW would be taking a six month hiatus as they ramp up production for the holidays and into 2016. I take most things said by their employees with a grain of salt, but it looks like his information was valid. He also said that Lego hasn't really decided if they're going to bring it back after the 6 month break. At some point later in the year, they will evaluate their ginormous product line and decide to either retire this wave of Jurassic World, or bring it back for one more huge run. I think with how many resellers are snatching these up, we can expect Lego to do another run next year but until then, we're in the clear. Quote
fossilrock Posted October 17, 2015 Posted October 17, 2015 Once again, my posts here on the jurassic world line is all about speculation.. But, i'm glad I was proactive so far with this line. In 2015, what sets have had this sort of potential at this stage in the game. Not many that I can think of. If these do prolong into the summer of next year, then I think long term the potential for this line diminishes quite a bit. Raptor Escape the next Zombies? We'll see… Is lego releasing that one again at walmart? And what would be the big tie-in next time now that Jurassic World is moving on and burying JW until 2018? Obviously, Lego might have dropped the ball on this theme...Regardless, check back with me in december, and ill let you know how "wrong" I was this year, even if I COULD be a bit off on thinking these might hit 3x to 4x next year. If I pay for my christmas bills out right by flipping some JW sets, then so be it. To me that's a victory...Also, i don't care what most people think about me. Im not here to make friends, and don't care if i'm not cool enough to be a card carrying member of the toy scalpers cult. Quote
