Continuing the theme of this thread.  I was just placing an order at LEGO and went to add the Friends Horse trailer set.  It can no longer be ordered and is as good as gone, I ordered 5 last week all delivered on Sat..  It will most likely sit in this status until the next retirement update.  All that are left now is Olivias House and Riding camp.  Riding camp looks like the next to go.  I have been waiting 2.5 months for them to fulfill an order of one.

I hope it sticks around as I am not ready to buy that one yet. I figured I had this Christmas season to load up.

I think it sticks around as long as stocks lasts. I believe LEGO considered it as a flop since this set is unattractive to many people in itself. But when they will try to complete their WV something will be missing to make the town busy...

As we are dumping cash into the EOL speculation pool, (GE SSD DS), Are we neglecting the Studio?

What's the deal with this one? 

Back, but may go away at any moment?

Anyone have any insights into this set?

 

That set is one I would call a giant cluster<deleted>. I am staying away from it for now just because I don't want to invest $150 into it until we see what happens with it. Of course by then it may be too late.

Wonder if Winter Village Market will be back later this year though. If it`s not, anyone who bought them is in for a serious ROI.

Plenty to be had at my local LEGO store. Was eyeing them up today for double VIP but with limited funds I went with a Sopwith and T1 Camper instead.

I made enough on this set already. I am not messing with it at the moment.

regarding what i put in bold. maybe... probably to an extent.

the modulars and winter sets are 'unique' as more sets are added annually and people think of them as collections (not so much as individual sets). there is a diff here. i own the eiffel tower and tower bridge sets but that isn't making me want to buy the sidney opera house. on the flip side, i just bought a winter market set along with a winter bakery to keep my winter collection complete (and i'm not a fan of the market set).

in summary, most people are now learning just how special the modulars are.

note: it isn't always about budget. many people simply do not have the storage space to buy 1-2 per month of multiple large boxed sets. that is why some people wait until the end.

then their dumb. They should buy a bigger house or get rid of a kid.

Regarding GE being a TRU exclusive, Im not sure. But castle cavalry 70813 from the lego movie is also a "TRU exclusive" which is weird cause other retailers also carry it.

It wouldn't be the first time Toys R Us has made a mistake or two on their website let alone trying to pull that sort of stunt. This still continues to be a favorite of mine for their sort of shenanigans.

Well at least Castle Cavalry is selling for actual retail from Toys R Us instead of their 'normal' store price.

I think they just price matched my EBay listing.

I know the difference. Though I do mess up other words and my spelling *** can be bad at times. But I punch really hard and csn lift more weight then most. We all have our flaws. Be nice to one another. Not everyone has had same education and not everyone has the discipline to not booze and eat happy meals.
