Expensive set to get caught with. I'll grab a few "if" discounted or with a good gwp but probably not otherwise. With not much of a run it could be a big hit however. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't take the risk of missing "the boat." Yes, the tree house burned many, but there is only so much retail shelf space. With three or four large idea sets in production at the moment maybe one has to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HandyHand Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 (edited) In the (Dutch) Brickwatch website that lists Lego sets and where to buy them cheapest online, it shows: Means: supply has completely dried up, everywhere. Few resellers are offering it above LEGO RRP, and many webshops do not have any stock left (under "No longer directly available"). After my order at LEGO LEGO Shop at Home processed, I received a follow up email that there's no stock available, and it may take 60 days until my order gets fulfilled! I do NOT see the same pattern as with the Tree House being repeated here. This set is done! Edited September 10, 2021 by HandyHand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how I managed to get my order in yesterday. I had put in a Notify at the Lego Store for this set, and acted quickly when I received that email. The window to act was quite short!

This set is done! your post basically confirms there will be a restock within 60 days??? there were 6 month stints when treehouse could not be gotten for<1.5x RRP...I don;t see how this is significantly different 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iahawks550 Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 Many times, it may list a 60 day waiting period. It may or may not mean they will have any more. My guess is it's done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nolan808 Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 This set isn't going anywhere. Lego will create huge demand towards the end of the year and then sell an absolute tonne. Everyone will be able to get one and re sellers will stock up and get stung again. Wait for the retirement date go be moved end of October early November. They know exactly what there doing. I've also noticed that many sets that say sold out on Lego keep coming back which hasn't happened before. Even when they stay sold out retailers seem to still be getting stock. Great hall, tie helmet, Jurassic sets, Disney train to name a few. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CosmicSpeed Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 I'll bet a Jyn Erso that they discontinue the Ideas set and rerelease as a new Pirates subtheme a-la Saturn V. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ogelwoc Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 Except the few websites stating this is retiring end of the year, with a big caveat, none of others are. It’s still available with most retailers. So could this be another repeat of the Tree House fiasco that Lego pulled last year?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Walmart cleared it out like they did with the Crocodile and just now with the A-Wing. It's also sold out at Target. I'm cautiously optimistic that it's done.
