To summarise, CITY space, demolition and deep sea sub themes are done. Edited November 11, 2016 by Val-E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TabbyBoy Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 142 sets now tagged in the UK. I noticed that some of the CITY vehicles didn't last long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fenix_2k1 Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 I don't think this list is done yet. Theres some very obvious omissions in the SW theme that aren't tagged. Very surprised by Tie v A-Wing but i worry it's had such a short life because there is a new set containing one of those ships in the pipeline.

It seems like one year lifespan is the norm for city, star wars etc going forward as lego increases their ever expanding themes. I would say that poe xwing is going but resistance x wing stays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A wing v Tie is overpriced for what it is so no surprise there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Val-E Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 10254 and 10245 also marked retiring soon. It´s a trap. Just now, BrickLegacy said: I would be surprised if Poe xwing is a slow seller. That´s why I am on the fence. Amazon UK had it discounted for so long it´s hard too say. It has pretty much dried up here but the blue one is everywhere.

Can´t quite beat the Ultra Agents boat that retired before it was released, though. Edited November 11, 2016 by Val-E 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GiliusThunderhead Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 This has got to be a new strategy for them - maybe they were sick of people complaining how they missed out. Have to say a few sets I'm surprised at on there but generally seems to be as expected. What ever the number of snow globes they produced they should probably think about doubling it right now.

Brian Briggs Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 I didn't think those Elves sets released in June would retire already. It looks like I have to make sure to get them soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
