More terrible sets. Avoid at all costs.

korean SAH lists PS and SOH as retiring soon.

That's about #%#*%^ time! PS at the very least needs to go before January 2017 arrives and the next Advanced Modular set becomes available.

Maybe time passes slower in Korea.....

Korea is a totally different market and give the US/Europe no indication whatsoever of retirement. This reminds me of the old Batcave that had what seemed like years between US and UK retirements. I also remember that the UK had Architecture Studio after it retired in the US.

This maybe true, but surely at the very least it gives a solid indication that the PS shop is now looking like the next modular to retire over PC or PR which some others speculated?

Just to confirm - they were there earlier this year?  And just done the std LEGO Shop at Home vanishing trick?

It was you that said PS would stop production before the summer, right? This is not gospel either but I´d take it with another of other indicators and say both are done in 2016. Something has to give.

I had to use a different browser where I was not signed in to LEGO Shop at Home with my VIP account to see that message. While signed in and trying to click through to the Pet Shop I got an error message instead.

I decided to get myself an extra pet shop using that NL10 code to get an extra discount.

You should have waited till Monday next week. Then you'd get the €10 discount plus the London Bus promo.

Isn't the -€10 gone at October 1?

Edit: 4 October I see now. Maybe I'm lucky and it is OOS by then

There were also too many 10187 VW Beetles before they retired and look at them now!

I made a killing on those and reinvested the money (I've not used any new money since!) to build up a stash worth £££££s.

Those who don't buy a T1 will really be missing out. How can a currently widely available set still sell for close/above RRP on eBay, doesn't that tell you something?

Even if it's re-released in a new colour, I think the 10220 will still be sought after.

226 in stock at John Lewis right now.

Wishful thinking at it´s best.

Well the good news is it should only take the horde 4 years to sell through their stash so that should leave 6 months or so to make your 20% profit before the pics of the remake are leaked.

Nobody knows how much the horde has and I may have none for all you know ;-) The same was said about the Sopwith Camel and I can now make 2x after fees but, I'm in no rush to sell them.

It could be another TH where they wait until the last minute only to snooze and lose.

I won't be surprised if the VW Camper lasts another 4-5 years as it's a great seller and I always see it being cleared out at my local John Lewis. Hopefully the impatient horde will have offloaded theirs by then!

I assure you 10220 has been hoarded in massive quantities for many years. Nobody snoozed, but there is a very good chance everyone will loose with it. Nothing like TH at all.

Somebody still thinks it's 2012.
