I bought a load for £50 each a year ago, it would be nice to fill that space with more rockets! Crap! At that price you can't lose, even if it was a stinker. I liked this set for splitting up, with the news helicopter being the only true loser, though the car dealership/service center and tram station also could take a while to sell. Oh, and the US listing is back to Backorder Edited October 16, 2017 by hockeyweasel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, after all, we are talking about the SAH IT department. Will this force a production run (assuming it wasn't in the plans to begin with) so that they can honor the order or will they cancel it? If you order, add a <$5 CMF to get them to ship you the freebies, just in case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that the CMF was like some small polybag, but what does it actually mean?

Shewie Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 75149 was even announced as "Retiring Soon" before? It's kinda surprise to see a RP on this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gnueck Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Got some recent information which said that the 75105 Falcon will be retired soon. I'm not sure if that is true but there are really many large sets out there. On the list were also both X-Wings, the FO Tie, Clone Turbo and some other sets. Captain Rex was missing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Rex was missing The designer confirmed it on Brickset over a month ago. Basically there won´t be much left of TFA or R1 sets after Xmas - depending on how fast existing stock sells. New Falcon coming in 1HY 2018 anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnueck Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Got a lot of stock of these left, that would be f*cking great if there would be a new one shortly after the 75105. But lets wait and see, maybe it will take till late 2018 and or the price will be a *bit* higher BTW- had the 42054 Claas on that list too. Thats also pretty strange, it's a good selling very cool set and out for not so long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about Architecture and Elves? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnueck Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Elves seems to be done up to 41185, but I'm no expert here. I have bought quite some of the older sets (up to 41180) because I thought they will be retired in 2016. Which didnt happen ^^ Architecture the same (no sets at all), but on my list are Berlin, Louvre, Venedig, Burj Khalifa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Val-E Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 They just can´t make a go of those BK´s can they?

Gnueck Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Never got in that Minecraft stuff. I have three Villages (the big set, forgot the number) and I guess they are done too because there are too many big sets out there. They are not on the list tough, because as a "normal" trader I cant buy exclusives here in Germany from Lego (only through "shady" channels). It's not like in the US, where you get that stuff in Target or WalMart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Gnueck Posted October 27, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted October 27, 2017 (edited) Here you go. Are likes important? ^^ Anyway, I find it interesting that the City Vulcan sets are also seem to be done. They are from last year, so they are not really that old. Did a pretty good investment with the last (deep sea) sets, but I didnt bought any of these Retired.txt Edited October 27, 2017 by Gnueck 27 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val-E Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Good job. Likes are important to the people who give them as they show gratitude. Volcano was replaced by Jungle so they have to retire it as they are similar themes and would cannibalise sales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fantomas007 Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 What is the source that Claas and Volvo is retiring?

So did 42042 crane and the fire plane last year. Volvo is out of stock in Europe and US so that is a pretty good source.
