Were all the recent retirements tagged 'retiring soon'? I mean are there any sets going OOS and about to be retired without that tag?

many people are saying the simpsons house & kwik-e-mart, but no solid proof...just on back order

Here you go. Are likes important? ^^ Anyway, I find it interesting that the City Vulcan sets are also seem to be done. They are from last year, so they are not really that old. Did a pretty good

I'm feeling generous and seems Cladner and Val-E are working to hard at this,  might as well simplify their jobs for the holidays.  Plus some of these need to disappear quicker... 10815

Chris, I think you're coming in at a time where the LEGO reselling party is coming to an end. I'm not saying there is no more money to be made; what I'm saying is that the ship is full and the general

The Simpsons House is VERY available in the UK and probably will be for some time. Hopefully they'll ship them back to the US where they belong!

At my local Lego store there was about 80 Dr Who left after the door buster 50% off sale... Maybe our countries should make a trade

Makes sense as each show is more popular in its home country. Don't dismiss Doctor Who as you can post them cheaply to UK buyers once they skyrocket ;-)

Simpsons Houses, on the other hand, are too expensive to ship tracked from the UK to the US.

I know Super Hero sets aren't exactly the rage, but I think Jokerland retiring after a little over a year is kind of a big deal. I may have missed the boat, but I will be hoping the big boys have some left in stock for after holiday clearances. At 40-50% off this seems to be a no brainer to me.

Not sure if any of these has been mentioned yet, but Opera House, Heartlake Airport, Trevi, Jokerland and Mystery Mansion are officially retired on LEGO Shop at Home Europe.

Yep, it was mentioned in the

Technically speaking, this thread is for retirement speculation. But yeah, obviously there's some overlap.

With the Lego Batman movie coming out, there will be Batman overload for the next couple of years. Will this hurt or help Jokerland is the question. I think the quality disparity with the Lego movie sets and with Beast Boy being in next year's Dimensions lineup will hurt the value. That makes Sapphire is the only exclusive minifig.

US SAH has pretty much cleared out everything except ToA (max 5). Seems this set has golden turd potential even with a Tumbleresque shelf life.

Back in Europe, a lot of sets have been revived from sold out to backorder status, including KWEM and AS.

It's a shame this set doesn't get any love. It's a gorgeous set and I had lots of fun putting it together.

Same as Minecraft village, TLG priced it too high for kids and AFOL appeal is diminished by the kiddy theme. It was a mistake to create a large exclusive for every theme. Hopefully the madness stops before Elves and Nexo.

Worked for HH and Monster Fighters. Maybe the bar was set too high there.

In for another ToA terd. This is one of the best builds and without a doubt one of the best looking sets out there.  Gets lots of attention from guests and the shadow puppet stage is very clever.   Ninjago4LIFE tattoo on my neck.

If your buy-in is good, why not? Here RRP is 220 euros, which is just insane and it is a SAH exclusive.

Monster Fighters may be somewhat of an exception because it is so similar to the Modular theme. I think that helped. It appealed to both the MF crowd and collectors of buildings (Creator and Modular). It was my first expensive set. Sorry.. what is HH? Thanks in advance.

T1 will probably be back with seal code 49S6 via the biggest production run ever!
