Retiring Soon - open speculation


Recommended Posts

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?

 

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.

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.

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. 

 

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.
