cissi Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 The Frank Lloyd wright museum sells all of his sets both in the gift shop and online. They had Robie left at MSRP for about 6 months after EOL. Too bad last time I was in Chicago I didn't have enough time to visit his buildings. Quote
inversion Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 (edited) I like the SOH. It is a mature set. It's the favourite of my girlfriend. However I also think it won'T be popular. If LEGO just did a Neuschwanstein... it could surpass all the previously released stuff. It's the archetype of fairytale castles. Even the traditional Disney castle is based on that.

yu051131 Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 is simpson house retiring？ price is rising in hongkong Quote
Locutus001 Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 is simpson house retiring？ price is rising in hongkong Yes... (someday...) You seem to be pretty new to the forum so I'll point it out pretty clearly: WE DO NOT KNOW which sets are retiring and WHEN... or even if they really are retired... what we do here is assuming... some here are looking for signs and patterns, trying it the logical way, while others just have "the feeling" or need more posts to get another LEGO-MINIFIG picture ^.^ Also the title of the thread (where you just posted in) could be an indicator: "retiring soon open SPECULATION" ;-) So to come back to you question: YES! The Simpson House is retiring... but I would be surprised if it would retire just now... you should check international markets for it... easiest way is to look at LEGO shop at home (www.lego.com). Is it available? In most cases that's a good and first indicator if it is retiring or not... if it is widely available it obviously is NOT retired... and you cannot tell if it is close to retirement yet. 1 Quote
yu051131 Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 thanks for advise ,BTW, i will get 6 box of SOH,just in case ,if it sold out ,will get another 6 Quote
Crustybeaver Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 I would believe it if SOH was mostly star wars grey... That should become an official Pantone colour 2 Quote
GhostDad Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 I always thought the '50 Shades of Grey' books were the laments of a DS investor who loaded up back in 2008... 5 Quote
Veegs Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 I always thought the '50 Shades of Grey' books were the laments of a DS investor who loaded up back in 2008... Now THAT concept turns me on. I'd rather take my wife to see a movie based on those laments, too. 1 Quote
bricketycricket Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 (edited) Got a PC, it popped into stock on Amazon half an hour ago. Poofed immediately, which is slightly insane for a product available elsewhere and nowhere near retirement. Edited February 4, 2015 by bricketycricket Quote
stephen_rockefeller Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 Who a says it's nowhere near retirement? Quote
bricketycricket Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 My good friend, common sense, told me. Quote
stephen_rockefeller Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 What did common sense tell you about the town hall? 1 Quote
xeeeej Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 Who a says it's nowhere near retirement? It's the only corner modular available. It seems highly unlikely to retire until another corner is at least announced. Stranger things have happened, but... I have 0 in my inventory, except for the one I built. Quote
bricketycricket Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 What did common sense tell you about the town hall? Even the Town Hall was out for longer than the PC has been. And if people around here would stop citing the TH as justification for any and all nonsense retirement speculation that would be great. Quote
stephen_rockefeller Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 Ok just keep your head in the sand and pretend LEGO loves us and is doing nothing to combat resellers. Quote
bricketycricket Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 Ok just keep your head in the sand and pretend LEGO loves us and is doing nothing to combat resellers. OK, just keep believing conspiracy theories and basing your decisions around sets that are the exception rather than those that are the rule. 3 Quote
bricketycricket Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 By the way, I hear the Tumbler is on its last legs. Absurd, you say? Nope, Town Hall. Slave I is on the way out too. I know that because Town Hall and because Lego hates resellers. 3 Quote
holleman67 Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 OK, just keep believing conspiracy theories and basing your decisions around sets that are the exception rather than those that are the rule. Ed and Jeff should be proud, brick picker was the reason the town hall was pulled from production. We have the power. Sent from my HTC6525LVW using Brickpicker mobile app Quote

stephen_rockefeller Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 I'm saying that anything can and will happen and if people want to be foolish and base their buying and thinking based on what was going on before the huge reseller boom then be my guest. 1 Quote
BrickLegacy Posted February 4, 2015 Posted February 4, 2015 I'm at 0 PC and 1 PS for my personal collection. One thing I learned over the years is to take notice when certain members post subtle hints. E1 buys a lot of Lego but doesn't brag about it. Tonight was the exception and I think we should take notice. The veterans on here have better connections and better techniques than us rookies. I've been at this for about a year and half. The guys that really know wheat they are doing have been doing this for much longer. I would be foolish to ignore what they have to say. Ed Mack has been very gracious with his hints. So have others on this forum. The 2015 seal codes for PS scare me. I haven't been following the trends on PC. That also scares me. I was fortunate enough to get a few Town Halls before it poofed. Its much more competitive now so if a set unexpectedly goes F5, it will be devoured by the hoard. Maybe its time to stash away a couple of these just in case. I'm still on the fence, but I'm paying closer attention now. Quote
