c_rpg Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Guys, SOH is back in stock at SAH. I'm afraid Val-E could be right about the new box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect that it's more an issue of how TLG is allocating their production capacity than a true run on the sets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be, but till last month they were limit 1 (now 5) so I guess there might be people stocking up now before expected EOL of PS in winter. PC seems to be holding up fine.

PC seems to be holding up fine. I haven't been paying attention this year. I'm basically done with exclusives...they have not been performing as well as other sets that I've bought into over the last few years and my sense is that the party is basically over on them unless you're willing to risk holding for 5+ years.

It goes in cycles. The hoard will be stocking up hard on the smaller sets this year (IST, architecture, minecraft, trains etc). Good time for a surprise exclusive retirement or two to bring some chaos back to the marketplace, and then they will all be back to exclusives again in 2017 lol.

I didnt fall for it but the hoard were all over it in droves. I am sure that TLG has much more immediate real concerns than "messing with us resellers" frankly. We aren't that important. Anyway, retail channels (e.g. LEGO Shop at Home ) are for retail purchases and commercial channels are for commercial purchases. P.s. Horde is who you are, hoard is what you do Edited June 7, 2016 by Battrax 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobofischer Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 According to the new Lego catalog (June-December 2016) there will be no retirements on these sets. http://www.promobricks.de/durchgeblaettert-der-neue-lego-katalog-fuer-das-2-halbjahr-2016/16926 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c_rpg Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 I'd be surprised if both Simpsons House and Kwik-E-Mart kept going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emazers Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 The Simpsons License is done this year, no more sets are coming, there should be plenty Simpsons Houses and Kwi Marts for people to get until the end of the year, but if you don't have any don't wait to long to get some.

emazers Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 (edited) Exclusives are not on the regular retail wholesale form, just the regular sets you see in Target, Walmart and Toys r us, except if one of them have a Lego Store Exclusive, like the Raptor Escape from lego and Walmart. The Only people who get a Exclusive order form is Amazon, Tru, Walmart, target and maybe a few others. Thats in the US, outside the US its alot different. But take my word the Simpsons are done. I got 20 sets. Ed Edited June 9, 2016 by emazers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ciglione Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Problem with the Simpsons House and Kwik E-Mart here in Europe is that it is very difficult to find a discount on them. I am always trying to avoid RRP in Germany. Not even mentioning the shameful RRP in the Netherlands. Anyone seen a nice discount in Europe on these lately?

UK TRU did 20% off which was priced matched by John Lewis, for about day before OOS, in April. Smyths 20% discount in Sept. Only 2 occasions I can think of. Otherwise it’s Lego VIP / Poly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is interesting news. I thought there were rumors there was going to be another set coming out, like the comic book guys shop. I take it that it was just a rumor? It just seems odd though that Lego would produce an entire line, for just 2 sets, and not even release any smaller sets or anything of the such. Kind of like Scooby-Do? I hope it's not done, because both the simpsons house and the kwik-e-mart are fantastic sets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
