Bricklectic Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 HP moments I expected for months already, made no sense to retire after 1 year. Unclear as to why the others are extended. Hopefully only to mid 2021. I wonder the implications for the other HP moments, can we deduce that they are to indeed be retired, or does the portend a possible across the line extension. all in all bad news. I loaded up on baking shop during the kohls sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like they were out of iron mans helmet very early in the season. I'm guessing a few boatloads will be docking this january. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if Lego cares about that kind of stuff. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cladner Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 (edited) what's weird about the stonewars update is that panda nursery is sold out at shop at home world wide - not TOOS - SOLD OUT - and listed as retired product in australia. same pattern with baking championship - retired product in oz - sold out worldwide. didn't check the rest. stonewars has been accurate the past 2 years - it will be interesting to see if they end up being right. they only say available in 2022 maybe there is an unusual q1 retirement. i was about to start cleaning out local stock of panda nursery.

donbee Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 Maybe they’re referring to a massive amazon restock… like so many sets In the past 2-3 years. Available in 2022… on amazon. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_chaos Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 Well that's annoying. I'm also sceptical that the Pirates of Barracuda Bay will retire. Reason being: John Lewis have the set OOS, but for retiring sets they will typically put a message saying that they don't expect more (e.g., London Bus https://www.johnlewis.com/lego-creator-10258-london-bus/p3389552). That message is not there for Barracuda (https://www.johnlewis.com/lego-ideas-21322-pirates-of-barracuda-bay/p5080238). That implies they are expecting a restock, and pre-Christmas seems unlikely at this point. The Chiron is in the same boat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goblin Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 (edited) Barrucuda Bay is done with production. JLP don't keep their website up to date, e.g. Fossils which is also done. Edited December 10, 2021 by Goblin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm waiting for Barracuda Bay to get postponed as well. i don't believe it will go. or if it does, it will go the way of Saturn V and Ship in a Bottle and just come out again.

Since becoming "sold out" at SAH I've seen several restocks at retailers and it's available still for MRSP. Costco Canada has been selling these by the hundreds all week. I see this as a marketing ploy to make the resellers believe it's going so they can clean out the stores that still have them. After Christmas it will go back in stock at SAH, and the lesson we didn't learn from Treehouse will be repeated. At worst we sit on these for an extra year and have more time to procrastinate whether or not to buy more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just picked one up in store and the code is 27. So they are still selling through a big run mid-summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Lego is sitting on all this product kind of makes you wonder why they list it as "sold out", hence my theory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Achilles Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 Stopped into local LEGO store again today, the retiring exclusives (Barracuda, Corner Garage, Upside Down, Roller Coaster, etc) are all being restocked pretty deeply. Gingerbread House, Aston Martin, and Harley I did NOT see as being restocked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gingerbread House, Aston Martin, and Harley I did NOT see as being restocked. I would arm sweep Barracuda and Corner garage without hesitation. We KNOW these are a matter of months and will double in price. I would add Roller Coaster if not for it being expensive and gigantic Upside down is a ? very specific audience.
