Retiring Soon - open speculation

[starwarsxpress]

Lego Mos Eisley 75290

Amazon sold by Amazon is out and has been a long while third party now 468

Barnes Noble listing removed for some time

Walmart had 98 last night just ran out today 3rd party is 550

Lego sold out called last night asked if would be back or should order else where they said they forgot to order yesterday it’s out and after checking for a while said it is likely not coming back… who know I guess they could have thousands come Thanksgiving I suppose.  This feels more likely it’s sold out has 21 figures ? they don’t I think make $400 Star Wars Lego sets any more with this much content so if they stop making it they are saving money vs Jabba Sail Barge for example I guess

Disney Store and Legoland is all that’s left that I know

ebay 95 listed new USA buy it now

I bought another for personal myself.  One to build one to be boxed

makes me think of jurassic park trex rampage it mostly disappeared before Black Friday if memory serves

When the hordes descend, it can be crazy.  This year, i'm probably not going to invest much because I didn't see a big rise in set values from the ones I picked last year, but it's amazing to sit back and watch sets just fly away at the end from the frenzy.

Quand les hordes descendent, ça peut être fou. Cette année, je ne vais probablement pas investir beaucoup car je n'ai pas vu une grande augmentation de la valeur des sets par rapport à ceux que j'ai choisis l'année dernière, mais c'est incroyable de s'asseoir et de regarder les sets s'envoler à la fin de la frénésie.

I completely agree with you. The prices of old sets are stagnating or even declining

So much of the horde also are happy selling off a big set like this that nets them only 20 bucks profit and they are out of stock within a year.  Better to just hold one or two for over 5 or 6 years.  Less effort, less hassle.

I think Ninjago Gardens will be the BF deal. Looks like LEGO indexed the page on Google by accident, but this page is hidden on their website. Batcave Shadowbox has a good chance of getting the 30% off treatment -- still not worth it to me.

i think this page could be from last year because at the bottom of the page there is 71767 Ninja Dojo Temple as one of the black friday specials which officially retired in February 2024.

It is....Here's the link

https://www.lego.com/en-us/black-friday-deals/lego-ninjago-black-friday

They did Ninjago plus other themes as well

30% off for the Batcave Shadowbox wouldn't be a bad price at all....I'd grab a few

Got some bad news y’all 

 

[ManAetherslime14]

60425 Jungle Explorer Water Plane sold out.

Probability of restock is in limbo...

[starwarsxpress]

Batcave shadow box sold out for now

[starwarsxpress]

seems like things are different this year on retiring.  all 3 of these sets have left.  I doubt they are coming back black friday.  reminds me of the jurassic park trex set that left early but very little did that year.

Batcave Shadow Box gone at retail and not back. amazon 2 sellers 2 copies total starting at 749.  ebay us buy it now 10 listings

Mos Eisley gone at retail and not back. amazon 8 sellers on primary list 26 copies starting 599.  ebay us buy it now new 51 listings (down from mid 60 a week ago)

Sanctum Sanctorum.  gone at retail and not back.  amazon 17 listings starting 325.  ebay us buy it now new 10 listings

Hard to believe there was any real demand for this thing at $500 pre-retirement, and $750 immediately post-retirement seems like a stretch for the Batman theme (Joker Manor aside). However, this may have been a very limited run, more limited than we knew. Ofc, I want it and have wanted it all year, and have been hoping for at least 30% off. Still got a feeling we might see it again for BF & CM 🤞

There really wasn't....Many people (Including myself) on here, YT, and other platforms loved the set but said it was overpriced and would wait for it to go on discount during a BF or Prime Event

Only deal that i can remember was a month or 2 ago on Batman day when they did triple points for purchasing the set.....I debated and debated and again figured it would get discounted at some point later on....Still holding out hope but i'm afraid this ship may have sailed

Same experience, I ordered the minifigs, I think the box has closed, would have been an interesting build but I don’t have room for it anyway

Might be the new trend going forward in the future....Lego keeps releasing more and more of these expensive overpriced sets and many are going to end up with a short shelf life due to lack of sales/deals and many are going to go under the radar of both collectors and investors and next thing you know "Out Of Stock/Sold Out" and then boom goes the dynamite

I think this exactly makes it hard to decide which to get
