biniou Posted November 11, 2014 Posted November 11, 2014 I'm looking at the box this morning, and possibly the most prominent picture is Yoda??? Why is he on the box, yet has nothing to do with the set? lol You are a great lego SW fan, aren't you ? Trooper for 2011 sets Darth maul for 2012 sets Yoda for 2013 sets Darth Vader for 2014 sets Storm trooper for 2015 sets etc. Quote
Val-E Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 can get one for 198 euros but am doubting on this or R2D2 for same Price. What would you do? Quote
biniou Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 can get one for 198 euros but am doubting on this or R2D2 for same Price. What would you do? R2D2 if I do not have some. Ewok village if I already have some R2D2, because 198 Quote
hannibal Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 Have you guys noticed its is: Out of stock, expected ship date null It's been like this for the last two days in Europe. Interesting... Quote
Yellowtot Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 Yeah this has happened a few times over the last few years, I think it basically means they are just waiting for production lines to become available to run another batch. This set is 100% not going EOL right now. Quote

This set is 100% not going EOL right now. Yeah...Just like the SSD, TH, HH, GE, etc...LOL I don't think retirement is imminent, but this is a set to watch possibly. Quote
Ciglione Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 Which sets can you be sure about these days? If you want one, or see high investment potential in it, buy it sooner rather than later. I do not like the boxart with Yoda. The set is so so. But it has got alot of minifigs. I will buy one or two when I stumble upon them on sale and dunno what else to buy. Quote
dubzero Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 (edited) Now: "Eh, this set is a dust collector." "Lego really screwed the pooch on this one!" "Ewoks are so LAME! ROTJ is the worstest!" First Signs of EOL: "Guaranteed massive winner!" "ZOMG SO MANY AWESOME MINIFIGS! SO MANY PROFITS!!" "F5 F5 F5 F5 F5 F5 F5 F5" Book it. Edit: once again, the proofreader has been sacked.

Yellowtot Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 Some of the our most trusted sources don't claim to know so how do you know this? Common sense really, once you've been investing in Lego for several years. Quote
Cashmoney-0 Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 This set has been out for more than a year already and is still advertised as new on lego.com. It's a possible indication that it will stay out for a looong time or lego just doesn't feel like taking down the word "new." Quote
stephen_rockefeller Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 Common sense really, once you've been investing in Lego for several years.OK I'm fine with you thinking you have it all figured out but can you please do me a favor and phrase posts like that more in the form of an opinion. There are new investors here that might take your "common sense" as fact. I understand everyone must think on their own and do their due diligence but let's not make it harder for them. I'm not trying to be rude in any way but the bottom line is that you THINK that it's not gonna retire soon, you really don't know......unless you know someone high up in lego pyramid, which you did not indicate.

Fairly new set been out approx 1 year, massive and popular set which means Lego will produce it for several years, going off examples of previous size Star Wars sets and third it's Christmas which means a lot of sets nowhere near EOL will flash in and out of 'unavailable, sold out, etc etc during the festive season. I am sorry that I've somehow struck a cord I did not mean to but the thread's title is just 'Ewok Village' Not is it EOL or is it done etc, so I was just voicing my opinion. 1 Quote

LEGO is very conscious of investors these days and are trying to protect their brand. So it really doesn't matter how long a set has been out, they can and will retire a set whenever. While it's still possible I think it will become harder and harder to predict EOL. They have already shown signs of mixing things up to throw off investors. Please no hard feelings. Quote
Ed Mack Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 Common sense really, once you've been investing in Lego for several years. Maybe in the good ole' days of LEGO investing. Be very careful assuming that a newer set will not retire. This set was put up for sale for a reason. Quote

brickelements Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 Too bad the sale on EWOK did not extend into the US. I was able to acquire my first copy using the 25% amazon promo. Massive set, loads of figures 20% (up to 25% off of $200=$50) off retail. Great buy. Now if I can just keep it in the darn box. I have so many sets I want to build and no time yet. Loose TB Loose PC Volvo (that will be a long build since I am a newbie in Technic building) 10221 NIB: might need to buy a loose copy to build ... more for the proper thread Quote
Ed Mack Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 Queue Panic! The gods have spoken. Relax. When a set goes on sale at LEGO S@H, it doesn't always mean imminent retirement. But what it tells me is that LEGO must be having a hard time selling them or they are clearing out their inventory. 1 Quote
fuzzy_bricks Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 They have already shown signs of mixing things up to throw off investors. I may have missed some comments but is that the speculated reason for the suspected upcoming retirements? Quote
Dbroncoboy Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 Relax. When a set goes on sale at LEGO LEGO Shop at Home, it doesn't always mean imminent retirement. But what it tells me is that LEGO must be having a hard time selling them or they are clearing out their inventory. Sorry, I wasn't being serious. I have 0 still, but it's definitely on my radar after the holidays. Your points are good :-) Quote
dcdfan Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 (edited) I may have missed some comments but is that the speculated reason for the suspected upcoming retirements?Historically Nov & Dec have more retirements than any other months. However, I do not believe this title is anywhere near the end. Edited November 24, 2014 by dcdfan Quote
Ed Mack Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 Historically Nov & Dec have more retirements than any other months. However, I do not believe this title is anywhere near the end. This is true. The May time frame is popular for retirements as well. 2 Quote
glucapg Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 This is true. The May time frame is popular for retirements as well. I will not forget this post Sent from my XT1052 using Brickpicker mobile app Quote
