It's the 2nd time in the UK for Santa's Workshop, I think it'll come back a 3rd time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil B Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 (edited) I think the intern who runs shop.lego.com accidentally left the WHERE clause out of the UPDATE query he was running on the Production DB...

Guest TabbyBoy Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 It seems like the UK has stopped at 298 so I needn't open that large bag of Minstrels now. Minstrels will beat Hersheys hands down! ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not exactly true for Nexo Knights. The Fortrex didn't get the Retiring Soon label. At least... not yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ciglione Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Have we ever seen such amounts of sets retiring? There is something fishy. Also the sales that happened lately (mainly in the UK). As a financial expert I hear the alarm-bells ringing. Sales must have been really bad this year. Or a hostile take-over is in the works? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val-E Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 So, to recap. Major done lines will be: Scooby Doo Jurassic World Bionicle Speed Champions S1 Star Wars up to Sept 2015 and some post 9/15 sets Nexo 1h 2016 except flagship Technic 2015 sets except Mercedes 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
