LegoBro Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 People are still panic buying, there just not posting hereLol...I'm guilty of wanting to do this. Feeling left out syndrome. I only have one for personal build. Everytime I get ready to press buy on amazon I ask myself whether the money could fetch a better ROI on something else in a smaller time frame. Let's just say I haven't pressed the buy button yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This reason here....makes my pause even on slam dunk buys. I just try to make the best decisions I can and never regret the opportunities that got by....key word on try lol. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenix_2k1 Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 I'm sitting out PS and waiting to see whether modulars are a bust as an investment. Got my one for PB and I'm. happy at that. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My data says March 290€. Doesn't really matter though. The point is I'd be happy if EV did happen to follow a similar pattern. Though I doubt that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That must become a brilliant City Layout. You must post a picture of them all build. I am sure they are all bought on some kind of discount. So you will get your money back. No worries. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got my one for PB and I'm. happy at that. I bought my first Pet Shop today. I was tempted when I saw the discounted price at LEGO shop at home... talked myself out of it. I was very pleased to see that it was sold out. But then someone posted that it was available again as a back order... I couldn't resist and pulled the trigger. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Val-E Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 So, to summarise what we know so far: Confirmed retiring large exclusives in 2016 are: The Simpsons´ House and Kwik E Mart, Sydney Opera, Ewok Village, Sandcrawler, Fairground Mixer, Pet Shop (7) On my speculation list I also had Mini, SHIELD and ToA as a joker (3) Total 10. I think we will get at least a couple more besides those, or to replace the ones I got wrong. T1 and TB are both going to be discounted over the weekend but does that mean they will go too?

There is no retiring soon tag on Simpsons´ House and Kwik E Mart - its just a speculation of finishing licence this year. Yes, there is a solid chance that they will finish, but nothing sure. No reason why to finish Shield - there is no other big heroes set on the shelves + if they want to finish it or is bad seller, they would put a retiring soon there or 20 % black friday discount. I expect another year of life. Temple of Arjitzu - why to finish it just 1 year after release + next year is a Ninjago movie. T1 and TB - this is biggest question what they plan with these sets. They are perfect sellers - thatswhy they keep them a lot of years. But why are in BF discounts? They can finish, but also live another 2-5 years...

I expect another year of life. I don´t, unless US sales make up for poor European ones. Temple of Arjitzu - why to finish it just 1 year after release + next year is a Ninjago movie. 50% off doorbuster in the US. Au revoir T1 and TB - this is biggest question what they plan with these sets. They are perfect sellers - thatswhy they keep them a lot of years. But why are in BF discounts?

Some of the accessories have been done for weeks now. Architecture Studio is also done but neither are exclusives so don´t make my list.

I would be very surprised if they retired this, unless they want to get rid of the consumer version and focus solely on the Education version of Mindstorms.

Sold out means only one thing at EU shop, unless we are talking seasonal sets. Your reasons are valid but there is also supposed to be the new PF 2.0 in 2017 and this set is ages old now. Let´s see.

Ewok Village and Sand Crawler are the right colour for that tag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
