Tough call.  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.

I grabbed a small quantity of them with the sailboat gwp's. 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.

Plus if it works out like Tree House, you may be able to unload them anyway this holiday season.

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!

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!

Except that one time where it goes from Temporarily out of stock to Sold out

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

[iahawks550]

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.

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.

 

 

[CosmicSpeed]

I'll bet a Jyn Erso that they discontinue the Ideas set and rerelease as a new Pirates subtheme a-la Saturn V.

Retirement date is December, the can run a batch every day until December 31 and it’s still retiring on time.
I thought I was negative 😂😂

Great Hall is listed as "retired Product", so must be gone for good?

[Ogelwoc]

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?

the better indicator is I've seen all new Ebay listings for this set at at least 20% over RRP (it was typically -20% for the past 3 years)

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.

Cleared out? How much was the discount?
Too bad I’m up north, no deal to have here
