stephen_rockefeller Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 May I ask which set are you referring to??He is probably referring to all the sets we want to see retired. 2 Quote

Kenxxx Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 May I ask which set are you referring to?? Go back to pages 6 thru 9 of this thread to see all the retirement announcements that were made on Tuesday, Feb 4th, 2014. 1 Quote
stephen_rockefeller Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 I doubt that system maintenance means they are retiring anything. You don't have to shut a whole website down for hours to slap the word retired on a few sets, or remove them completely. Quote

Maybe they are just dissing you cause they know you want to order something. hehehe Quote
vteeuwen Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 (edited) If they have to shut down the site for putting stuff to retired, they would shut down after each sale to adjust the stock Let's hope IT department is also selected on "building stuff" the right way.

Val-E Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 (edited) Nothing special on the calendar for today either. Maybe they are doing a training day for newly hired crazy uncle button pressers. I never get why companies do their maintenance during business hours - too tight to pay overtime for the IT guys, maybe? Edited February 9, 2015 by valenciaeric Quote

Problem is that LEGO is global and I think they will use visiting statistics to determine the lowest visitor time. With America in bed and Europe waking up on monday is probably the best timing to release a new update. Quote

You don't have to shut a whole website down for hours to slap the word retired on a few sets, or remove them completely. Normally you don't have to shut a whole website if you need to change something - but Lego shop is not normal web site - this web site is horrible, with user un-friendly interface, it often has mistakes, cannot remember my payment data, with problematic android version, etc... most of our local web shops with limited budget has much better web sites... Another story is their impotence to expand their web shop to other countries... Edited February 9, 2015 by mesje Quote

This is lego we are talking about, it may very well require a full site outage. Or maybe it Just the fact that it's snowing again and the IT guy couldn't make it in ToO wake up the hamster. On a more related not red5 expected date of March 27th. New production run in the works? Or just shipping extra stock from Europe? 2 months could be a production run in Europe... Quote

You know you've been spending too much time on Brickpicker when this is your autocorrect - bravo! 5 Quote
jay4e Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 (edited) You know you've been spending too much time on Brickpicker when this is your autocorrect - bravo! was thinking the same thing... not the first time either... back on the red5 and a 3+ month haitus from LEGO Shop at Home. plenty of other exclusive have been produced and sold out again in this time frame. I am wondering if either speculative EOL sales have given this new life, or if this is the start of limited runs for exclusive that keep them going. Though given that many seal codes are still showing 2013 production, who knows what is going on over there. Edited February 9, 2015 by jay4e Quote
Achilles Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 I can't believe the "Epic Dragon Battle" finally marked down and headed out the door celebration hasn't begun on this thread Quote
Darth_Raichu Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 I can't believe the "Epic Dragon Battle" finally marked down and headed out the door celebration hasn't begun on this thread Wake me up when it is sold out... -- taking an extra long nap -- 1 Quote
skanks Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 I don't really understand why my question yesterday was moved to this thread. I wasn't speculating about any sets going EOL. I was simply asking how to find out about sets EOL status. For a forum that has major topic overkill issues and has umpteen pointless topic sections the fussiness with tidying up is mind blowing. Whoever thinks having threads with 236 pages is a good thing is wrong. Quote

toycrazedchris Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 For what it is worth... my research and analysis come to the same conclusion. Just bought my first yesterday for $90 with TRU rewards and discount GC. Saw today they are out of stock. I figured we had at least another year on this one since it was introduced May 2014, but you guys are making me want to buy more now.. Shame on you! Quote
