biniou Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 I agree that scarcity increases. It 'may' be a good a sign. The sign that the horde is in the starting blocks. ^^' 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kooltrader Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Does anything relating to how many you can order have anything to do with a hint of what will potentially retire soon; case example; http://shop.lego.com/en-GB/The-Tumbler-76023?fromListing=listing Batman Tumbler which only 1 can be ordered as opposed to; http://shop.lego.com/en-GB/MINI-Cooper-10242?fromListing=listing Mini Cooper or Camper van of which i can order 5 of each Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaisonline Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 sometimes. with new and popular sets like the UCS Tumbler, the max order of 1 is about giving more people the chance to buy a set. Does anything relating to how many you can order have anything to do with a hint of what will potentially retire soon; case example; http://shop.lego.com/en-GB/The-Tumbler-76023?fromListing=listing Batman Tumbler which only 1 can be ordered as opposed to; http://shop.lego.com/en-GB/MINI-Cooper-10242?fromListing=listing Mini Cooper or Camper van of which i can order 5 of each Thanks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxhound Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 10236 Ewok Village is getting rarer on ebay.de and I expect an increase in price very soon (about in 1 or 2 months). Compared to the situation 4 weeks ago, where ebay was flooded with buy it now auctions, the total amount of new sets sharply fell by ~ 30%.

Kenxxx Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Not sure where to post this.. just a Lego B&M update... was at Concord, NC store today. They had 10240 R5 ... limit 1. DO and PR were the only modulars there. They had ToO's. They had Tumblers, Helicarriers, and EEE's. A surprising amount of Chima on display... seemed like more than it deserved, but maybe that's the merchandise they want to move the most? No Slave 1.

diablo2112 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Lots and lots of talk for all the usual suspects retiring soon here (R5, ToO, PS, etc.). I'd be curious, any under-the-radar sets that have escaped hoarding/discussion? My one candidate here may be 42008, the Service Truck. Nice set, pneumatics and powered, and a decent buy-in at about $120. Rarely discussed here, and may disappear with little warning at any time. We had 42006 go 2 months ago with little warning, and 42008 is a better set. Speaking of Technic, 42009 the MkII Crane is another gem. It's certainly on the radar here, but still may be a good, less-hoarded candidate (though the recent Amazon UK sale at $150 was well advertised). This set is expected to go later this year, and a fabulous kit, perhaps the best Technic set ever. I'm bullish on this set post EOL; the previous tracked excavator is now a $450 set, and 42009 is at least as good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The larger Technic sets are amazing and usually do well after EOL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a feeling. Been out for ever. When oos sells well above msrp . Easy to store. Easy to obtain at 30-40% off. I see 100 right away eol. And my avenge buy in has been 32 and change. I'm very high on any and all arch sets though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Raichu Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 I agree. Anything new lead you to this conclusion? Not sure if this was new. There was a blurb on RI S @ H page to the effect of "This set is no longer for sale. Look forward for next Ideas set". I could not access the page atm to get screenshot though 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trekgate502 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 After being limit 99 forever, PR is now limit 5 at LEGO Shop at Home. Retirement is surely imminent... GhostDad called it. Mark it down. For me I think the MK II is looking better all the time for an end of year retirement and an epic non Star Wars set to invest in. Whatever the buy in price at MSRP or less.

Sorry BA I did not mean to imply buying it right now at MSRP. Thanks for clarifying. I meant I think near its end of life if you did not get one at $140 from Amazon UK I still think it will be a reliable investment. I think the chance for another Amazon UK deal is high. There has been 2 or 3 rounds of it already? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
