Retiring Soon - open speculation


Recommended Posts

I'm just gutted TRU UK ended their sale on SOH and SC yesterday

If you have kids, take them with you and say it's for their birthday. I did that with one of their previous flash sales and missed it by a day and my son was with me and said that the Sandcrawler was for him and the manager gave it to me for the sale price and also it was a minty box that they had held back until the sale was over and back to rrp

Oh dear. Ecto-1 is not yet "Retiring Soon" in the US. Buying now just signals to TLG that they need to fire up the machines and run a few new batches :)

Other than uneven on-hand inventory, have we seen seal codes for a set produced AFTER retirement in another region?  I'm still too new to know the historical precedence if this has happened.  I'm guessing most production schedules are made well in advance, so it is probably costly to shift production.

Is that not an exception? As it was stated in US lego SAH that "check back in fall" 

Yes, that tag was up long before any "retiring soon" labels went up anywhere.  And it took them how many months to shift production and get them back on shelves?  3-4?  I don't think Ecto-1s are going to start flying off the shelves, especially not in numbers that would justify another production.  Most people who stock up in large quantities have done so over the last 2-3 years of availability.

What about BIRDS emoji20.pngemoji35.pngemoji35.pngemoji35.png

Those all still have 2015 seal codes...no new production, just a spare warehouse full at Walmart.
