tractorboy Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Fallingwater House have been around since almost 5 years. Feeling that it may follow Farnworth house footstep. what is your thought? I was wondering that today. I'd like to see it go soon hopefully, it's been around a long time. A big new architecture set would be nice too.

No More Monkeys Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Since it looks like the GE is officially retired and sold out pretty much everywhere. What is every ones predictions on the next big set. Could it be Pet shop or town Hall? It is not retired until it is retired. And it is not retired yet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TabbyBoy Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 It's still available all over the UK and shows no signs of disappearing at all. Pet shops on the other hand......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trekgate502 Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Saw your post first come through in email without the graphic, not seeing Yoda and it made me think of this. Opened the page and saw your graphic, too hilarious. The force must run deep in those who believe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flemdog33 Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Do the larger sets usually get a "retiring soon" next to them. Everyone keeps speculating on tons of sets that might be retired but none have a "retiring soon". What's past history from Lego? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The retiring soon tag, IMO, is used to sell sets that they want to retire but aren't selling. No need to do that with HH since it was selling a lot.

Achilles Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Mscheaf is correct. It's basically a marketing gimmick. The vast majority of sets that retire never get a retiring soon tag. You'll notice the current list of retiring soon sets is mostly clunkers, or "series" types of things they want to move out to release the next wave. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brickstoriches Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Lego Shop at Home on the phone. It seems very obvious that it's gone. The site shows sold out without a date of when it will be back in stock. It will show "retired" in a few weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super put that with Toys ****** Bricks Retired article and it is starting to look better for retirement sooner than later As soon as I say that it will be in stock everywhere momentarily.

Not a chance my friend, I think I can count on both hands the number of times it has been "sold out", same for Town Hall, same for SSD. I expect retired tags at the end of the year or in January, inventory should be long gone by then. I am not convinced on town hall, but if it is then that would be great.

brickstoriches Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Why do you think TH is retiring. It clearly says that it will ship in 30 days when you click through to the product page. SSD is retired. That message for the TH is not there anymore, it was 15 minutes ago. The TH is not going yet. Pet shop is first to go.
