Retiring Soon - open speculation


Recommended Posts

Anyone notice r2 status. Hopefully it stays orderable until may 4th. I am using my vips to order that to get 6 of the revan minifig. Still another week of double vip to go.

I think it will still be around for May 4th. It's not going anywhere until at least the end of the year. IMO

I think alot of sets (exclusives) will retire this year. There are just to many exclusives now in MHO. And there are new ones coming. I expect the usual suspects to retire. Will there be some surprises? Maybe yes. Just let them wait for that a couple of months more so I have reached all my objectives and have sufficient stock on all sets which are retirement suspects.

Since GE is the "favourite" to retire and Lego know that and may want to shaft us, I expect the PS to go first.  For every

Noticed something interesting today.

 

The SSD says "SOLD OUT" without the option to add to bag, and of course with no return date in the search results.

However, if you click thru to its page, it says "TEMPORARILY out of stock"

Not saying that means its definately coming back, but it does make it slightly different than say a set like the Y-wing which shows Sold out on both the search result page AND the product page.

Good catch. The manager at my local Lego store did say that it's retiring, and they had a one-per-household limit. Plus, I can only assume that Temp OOS is somehow different than SO or OOS with a restock date. Maybe they're expecting some returns from a retailer that they'll then sell through LEGO Shop at Home until they run out again?

I still have a gut feeling this thing will be around all year.  I'd like to see it as part of the May the 4th sale.

I hope it pops back in quiickly before double points is over so I can snag 5 more.

If I remember correctly some members said there store was restocking Monday(today). I bet it comes back in stock sometime today. Some people said there stores aren't restocking so I believe this might be the last wave of SSD. IMO

Just a tip for those Amazon lovers.  Kroger has 4x fuel points right now on gift card purchases.  If you buy $400 worth it well net you $56 on 35 gallons.  If you buy $500 in gift cards, it can get you $70 for 35 gallons.  I usually use this to buy Amazon gift cards instead of 2x VIP for big purchases.  It makes it a much better deal for me, since I'm still in a no tax state.

Interesting thing I just noticed: Pre Visla's Mandalorian is the only "retiring soon" tagged set still available besides a $4 or $5 thing. A lot of retiring soon sets get discounted so might want to keep an eye out for a deep discount on this one. One member found them for $12 at his LEGO store.
