Crustybeaver Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 10218 pet shop is only availabe at SAH. Is is eol eminent? I don't think anyone on this site has any inside information on whether the Pet Shop is retiring, however it's quite common at this time of year for stock to sell out at retailers. If it was going I feel it would have been long gone by now, I imagine Pet Ship will end production towards the end of 2015 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich79 Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 I called a retailer to order one PS but they didn't had any. I asked when they would get new ones, they looked in the computer and then they said that they would not get any PS anymore and they could look till Deliveries in March. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shislerocco Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 I was at a lego store today in the king of Prussia mall in PA. Interesting observation. The shelves were packed full. Not a single modular. Not one. I even asked. No Simpson house No t1 van No Arkham asylum They did have: Tower of orthanc. plenty Triple E Red 5 xwing Tumbler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostDad Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 I would guess that the advent of the Kwik E Mart will herald the retirement of the Simpsons house. The lack of modulars is interesting, but I'm going to go out on a limb and say they probably aren't all being retired this year... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt1147 Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Stopped by lego store in Kansas City and similar - no modular buildings at all, no T1, no Simpsons House, no Sea Cow. They did have TB, ToO, Ewok V, Sandcrawler, lots of Fairground Mixers, and 2 Tumblers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crustybeaver Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 I would guess that the advent of the Kwik E Mart will herald the retirement of the Simpsons house. I would guess the Simpsons House will sit alongside the Kwik E Mart and not retire anytime soon. I'd imagine it to have a 2-3 year lifespan, not retiring until end of 2015 at the very earliest.

There would be renewed interest in the Simpsons House IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcandre Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Why? I would think just the opposite. There would be renewed interest in the Simpsons House IMO. I agree with this. A new set will help sales of the house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lack of modulars is interesting, but I'm going to go out on a limb and say they probably aren't all being retired this year... I would hope the same also just because i haven't gotten a few of the modulars like the palace cinema and parisian thinking they wouldn't be gone. They still have a kragled parisian on display so id hope its coming back. Stopped by lego store in Kansas City and similar - no modular buildings at all, no T1, no Simpsons House, no Sea Cow. They did have TB, ToO, Ewok V, Sandcrawler, lots of Fairground Mixers, and 2 Tumblers. oh yes I forgot about the Seacow. They had a few and a kragled one on display. (im speculating about the kragling)They did have sandcrawler also not sure about TB as the box is always there on display but usually empties. although the investment potential it doesnt interest me to own.

mudcatsfan Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Something i noticed this morning. 10225 R2D2 now says "SOLD OUT" on Lego LEGO Shop at Home, where he previously said Temporarily out of stock. This looks like a hint of moving closer to EOL. For comparisson sake, Arkham went straight to, and still is in "Sold Out". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allen9917 Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 PS is in the new 2015 catalog, along with the other 3 newer modulars. I would bet it is not going any time soon, but could behave like what GE did in 2014 as we go deeper into 2015. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interestingly gone where R2 and Red 5 X Wing Got to make room for Slave 1, Tie Fighter and possible a large Hoth set? I'd be surprised if Red 5 made it to May 4th, and if it does, I think it would be a prime candidate to get a discount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GhostDad Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Tumbler kicked out AA. Why shouldn't Kwik E Mart do the same to the Simpsons House? Most licensed themes (except Star Wars) don't have multiple exclusives at once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most licensed themes (except Star Wars) don't have multiple exclusives at once. Do we have a price point on Kwik E Mart yet? I didn't think it was going to be anything larger than a $100 set? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmontgomery Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Just flipped through the January 2015 catalog and saw the picture with TH, PC, and PR together with the tagline "Combine these LEGO Modular Buildings: Parisian Restaurant, Pet Shop, Palace Cinema, and the New Detective's Office!". C'mon, Lego! At least get the stupid picture to match what you are selling! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
