jaisonline Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 ... P.S. please don't ask what my seal code is because I have no clue what it even means anyway. I only want to know whether 4204s were made during this year. no other way to know, right? 1 Quote
No More Monkeys Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 I only want to know whether 4204s were made during this year. no other way to know, right? As any seasoned naysayer would say - that information is totally irrelevant Quote
jaisonline Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 As any seasoned naysayer would say - that information is totally irrelevant the naysayers are correct about seal codes most of the time. this is one of the two times i know of that seal codes would be helpful. if 4204s weren't made during this yr, it's nearly certain to "retire" sooner than later even if Lego pulls a TRU - MF Vamp Castle move. note: the other time knowing a seal code would be helpful is if sets were changed to correct an error (e.g. some GEs didn't include the 3rd elements, MFs stopped producing "glow in the dark" stickers in some sets) 1 Quote

BTW, rovers at TRU were kinda briefly showing in for a few seconds today. I was able to get one eventually. But then +$7.99 shipping of course.... and full expectation of a pancake Quote
jaisonline Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 i just think 10214 is finally going to sunset later this yr. i'm prob wrong but do really wish people would start buying up this set like 10221 SSD and 10211 GEs so we can see how shop@home behaves. hope this is the beginning. still 'allowed' to order up to 5.

No More Monkeys Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 Stumbled upon Lego message boards... wow, lots of hate for Simpsons. Lego didn't even dare to create separate section for Simpsons in the message boards... I am thinking there is no way Lego will continue Simpsons line, given the controversy. Quote
No More Monkeys Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 What controversy? Well, it started here https://community.lego.com/t5/LEGO-General/SAY-NO-TO-LEGO-SIMPSONS/td-p/5291968 Got locked, but the same thing keeps popping up everywhere. Peoples do petitions and angry letters and stuff. Might buy some more Simpson houses and send few more even angrier letters and flame a few topics in random boards. For sure gets retired... 1 Quote

stephen_rockefeller Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 Indeed! Thanks for the link NMM, needed a chuckle! Quote
trekgate502 Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 The controversy is old and remains to this day. Alas, I do not think the Lego Simpsons universe will be expanding and it will go away. It is an interesting investment thought though. I don't like the Simpsons show personally, but if this EOL's soon will that make the house worth a lot to the people who are Simpson's followers? Quote

naf Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 This 'controversy' reminds me of how all the schools were flipping out about Bart Simpson "Don't have a cow, man" t-shirts when I was a kid. If you had Simpson's anything in school they'd send you home to change or confiscate it. 5 Quote

I am thinking there is no way Lego will continue Simpsons line, given the controversy.With or without the controversy, there really isn't much of a reason to continue on with the license. Lego made some sales, Fox and its series got some publicity, time for both parties to move on. I don't care for the set or minifigures so I make the simple choice of to not buy them. These boycotting bungholes could make life easier by doing the same. Quote
glucapg Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 "someone told me" that in september there will no more production of Simpson House.... ...and no more production of Sidney opera House... ...and no more production of 10211 GE..... ...and no more delorean Quote
king156 Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 76005 Anyone know when this set will retire I heard this year it will go EOL but not sure? Quote
naf Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 76005 Anyone know when this set will retire I heard this year it will go EOL but not sure? It will probably retire beginning of 2015, it was released Jan 2013. Probably won't disappear completely from store shelves until middle of next year. Quote
jaisonline Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 76005 Anyone know when this set will retire I heard this year it will go EOL but not sure? For those who don't have every set # memorized , 76005 is "The Daily Bugle Showdown" 4 Quote
Ciglione Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 For those who don't have every set # memorized , 76005 is "The Daily Bugle Showdown" Thanks for the clarification jaisonline. Quote
fatboycarney Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 do you think it will do wel I got 4 today at Quote
king156 Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 thanks didn't know about that il take a look now Quote
glenbart Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 It will do similar to funhouse, rise by about 20% at eol where you can't get it at retailers, then stay at around 25-30% for that whole year, getting quite rare 18 months after eol and going for double the retail, in about 2 years from now. Quote
