TigerG Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 Quote from the PR thread:"A few weeks ago I had to return a Parisian Restaurant to the Lego Online Store since the box was so badly damaged. They told me on phone today that the do not know when they will have PR back in stock and are giving me a refund"..... Quote
game Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 Personal thoughts:1. I don't believe LEGO really cares about resellers. What are resellers for LEGO? Customers who buy sets in larger quantities than normal, keep the sets in order to make a profit in the future. Resellers just increase profit for LEGO right at the moment they buy sets, that's it Oh really, so why are people being banned from Lego shop @ home then? 1 Quote
jaisonline Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 Please keep the posts civil. Respect one another please. Quote
gbg108 Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 Oh really, so why are people being banned from Lego shop @ home then? My guess is that has more to do with wanting their "exclusives" to actually be exclusive and not be available at every 3rd party seller. They want their retail shops to have something special and a reason to exist. This is most likely the same reason no other retail shops (Walmart/Target/TRU) carry exclusives in store. Pick-a-brick alone probably wouldn't draw in the same crowds. Quote
Ciglione Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 But why does Pet Shop say "temporarely out of stock" and underneath it says "We are currently making more, so please check back soon for availability" on US SaH.PS does not say "sold out" like DS.So what is the difference? Quote

Ciglione Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 Someone in Lego has a good sense of humor lately.I wouldn't read too much into it. I am not exactly. Just trying to understand. I guess Lego even doesn't know why. Quote

Ed Mack Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 These look like manual messages someone posted. Maybe it's the new way of listing sets, maybe it's some customer service rep feeing sorry for people who have been calling in. Quote
fantomas007 Posted July 22, 2015 Posted July 22, 2015 (edited) People please dont panic. Can you imagine retiring a modular set (PR) just after 1,5 year ?? I cannot. Why the hell would TLG design a modular set and finish it so quickly? It has normal size and prize, so there couldnt be an issue as it was with TH. Also I dont think that PR has bad selling numbers, it is one of the best modulars. Modular sets are popular, people are buying them frequently, why would TLG finish 1 of them just after 1,5 year, while other modulars were alive 4-5 years? Even Town hall, which was most expensive and went to short EOL, lived more than 2,5 years... I also doubt that PC will finish this year. Only retiring the PS is real...I think its a temporary shortage of these sets, or just a mistake (there is no logic to have sold out so many sets in same moment). Its horrible to see such panic also regarding the sets, which CANNOT retire at all - for example Kwik Emarkt - its impossible to think about this set as retired, it has just several months of life + Simpsons house is still here.

tacsniper Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 People please dont panic. Can you imagine retiring a modular set (PR) just after 1,5 year ?? Why not throw a curve ball at collectors to force us to start buying sets early shortly after release? I am one not expecting PR to retire for another year... so I have none. But this Sold Out status in EU have me worry Quote
Darth_Raichu Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 I am not exactly. Just trying to understand. I guess Lego even doesn't know why. Because it is coming back just like other sets with similar messages last year Quote
tacsniper Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 (edited) May I add to the party... Imperial Star Destroyer is also "Sold Out" in EU LEGO Shop at Home . Just about to celebrate its 1 yr anniversary. Is it done? Edited July 23, 2015 by tacsniper Quote
mahler24 Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 this morning in Germany, death star added to sold out on lego.de........hmmmmmm Quote
hendrikdejager Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 Earlier this morning i got to see this. Coincidence? I think not! 3 Quote
Ryan Junior Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 (edited) Wow ! It has changed now though. Edited July 23, 2015 by Lambrae Quote
JM123 Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 Was this 'retired product' status also found on the other 2 modulars (PR, PC)? Quote
mattyman Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 The problem being resolved seems to be making progress - the add to basket is on the items sold out - still won't add to basket BUT the buttons were not there yesterday Quote
hendrikdejager Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 Was this 'retired product' status also found on the other 2 modulars (PR, PC)?Only on this one. Quote
jaisonline Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 I think Lego's web site developers are having more fun with us lately than Ed has. At least Ed gives us riddles and jingles. 1 Quote
denosya Posted July 23, 2015 Posted July 23, 2015 Damn... what's happening? On lego.fr, Parisian Restaurant, Pet Shop, Cinema Palace and Kwik-E-Mart marked as EOL... Quote
