Nick83 Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 OK, certainly retired at end of the year as R2D2 or Xwing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grabbitfast Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 EV will not retire anytime soon Attack on Hoth was brought out to cash in on EV success not to replace a money spinning popular set,look at it logically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Brick Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 So it is clear after reading all these comments that 15S6 is clearly the last production run after which it will be done. Or maybe not... Anyhow, just to be sure I bought another 5 and 2 more SC's. I'll let you know what my seals codes are as I get them in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See I'd go with the opposite line of thinking. If you have a new playset that's not selling well, retire the alternatives to push customers towards your new product that you've invested in.

Over the years, TLG has been known to take many actions that don't fit neatly within the "logic" and "common sense" that has often prevailed on this board. For example, there was absolutely no way that TLG would retire the Haunted House before Halloween, but it did exactly that. Similarly, there was no possible way that TLG would retire R2-D2 before EPVII came out, but it did exactly that. Personally, I think that EV is done this year based solely on the box art. It is the last green box set on the market and has already outlasted all of the blue box sets and many of the tan box sets. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But to your point, actions don't always conform to logic, hence, EV will now probably outlast AOH, so to catch everyone unaware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If EV retired, it would be 1/ to make shelf space for other UCS sets 2/ because Disney says so 3/ because resellers stopped buying in please start doing 3?
