Enough already with 5yr olds shaking their booties... I see enough of that s*** during the dance competitions my daughter participates in throughout the year. and no, my daughter's studio does not participate in training little girls to dance provocatively

Anyone else? Speak now.

Provocative? I don't see it. Comical, circus act, even.

Well, DC does have a point.  Every set is dancing like that right now.  So this is a vote that honeybooboo stays!

See, @dcdfan, I told you it was Honeybooboo.

Still can't issue you a warning for it, though.  Grrr

Having called my local Lego store in the UK at lunch to confirm that the VIP release of Cindas castle (which is the 17th) I also asked if they had any of the Disney Minifigs back in stock and her exact words were "I'm afraid they have now been discontinued, they may be releasing a new series but the current one has now been discontinued and therefore we will not be getting any new stock" !! Take that as you wish, I'm merely reporting back what she told me guys but kinda makes sense as these disappeared from SAH UK a few weeks back !

Apologies for the repeat re-posts, I just figured some users have notifications for various threads.

How long have 10236 and 75095 been at LEGO Shop at Home limit 1? They can both retire, now, I won't mind.

Limit of 5 for each of these in the UK.

Maybe they just hate Americans. Who can blame them though.

I recently received an indominous rex and raptor rampage from U.S. SAH with 20R6 seal codes. Most of my purchases from Amazon have been mid R5.

Tldr: JW batches still being produced

Lego definitely want to have enough stock to last till Christmas before axing the line.

[Manse1001]

Yeah I thought this line was done until I was in my local Lego store tonight, they had a t Rex tracker, week 25!

What i don't understand is where TLG is getting all the capacity to keep all these sets in stock.  Last time i heard there new factories were still some years off.  Whoever the bod is who improved the efficiency thus allowing them to keep more sets round longer my hat off to them.

EV now clearly takes the crown as second longest available SW set at retail.   Maybe "playsets" are something they keep around longer because the direct competition for these is smaller.  My 2 cents is still on EV going this year - pure speculation on my part.  No evidence to back it up other than at the end of this month its been around 3 years.

6212 X-wing was available for 3 years 8 months

The 6212 X-wing was out for 6 yrs 2006-12

I find it interesting that amazon sells the TB as "discontinued by manufacturer" even though it is clearly still being made.

[Val-E]

It´s a trap!

Or someone let info from the wholesale order form slip...?

I dunno, possible, right?

Possibly a mistake, its difficult to say, in the UK the other week the entertainer had the Simpsons house as discontinued but now its just out of stock. They also have the ecto 1 21108 as discontinued but you can pick it up in many places including shop at home. TB is possibly on its way out or that retailer is just not selling it anymore, or someone just pressed the wrong button at Amazon. I think sometimes its best to trust your gut, although my gut is only right some of the time lol :-)

If we have to trust our gut, we'd all be following @Yellowtot ...
