So the the leftover stock from the first production run of 75106 is finally running out? Even at half price, no one is buying this set.

Not surprising as it's not an iconic OT set ;-)

Agree. It's b-u-t-t ugly, out of scale, and from Rebels. What's more to dislike?

Hopefully Dr Turd will be sold out soon, although I doubt it, will have to use the Turdis to send them back

Is the M. Falcon 75105 retiring soon?

I doubt it and I expect it to be around until EP8. Anyway, it's been discounted heavily and will be massively hoarded with the undercutters out in force for a long time. Glad I sold all mine for £60 each (£30 at Tesco instore) when I did.

You really should stop talking about yourself in third person Tabby, people are going to start thinking you're losing your marbles.

I wouldn't call selling 20x £30 sets for £60 each within 2 months without listing/packing/fees/postage to worry about, a loss of marbles ;-) Mark my words, those that bought into 75105 MF at £90 (typical price) or RRP could be heading for frustration and disappointment further down the line. We're not in the golfen era of SW anymore. Honestly, I hope those that bought heavily into the new MF do well out of it.

BTW... Those 10x LOTR ships (£60) that you left behind went for £110 each this week ;-)

Did you see the General Grievous set for £6 in Sainsburys Yorktown last week? There were about 4 on the shelf stickered as reduced last Thursday - I left them.

As usual I stock up on the wrong one. Only bought one Wall-E but several Doctor Who. At least they were all at discounted prices.

Pirate Chess is sold out @ Lego.

disclaimer : if this has been posted before, oh well.

So, with 10 days of the year left there are still 87 retiring soon sets available at EU SAH.

Main culprits are SH, SW, Ninjago, Nexo, Friends, Ideas and juniors. Looks like quite a bit of fodder for the January sale.

According to Google Ireland, the third most searched toy this Christmas in Ireland is Lego Friends. You sure you're buying the right sets?

I'm confused. Are we talking about the mile high club now?

It's a plane and collectors won't have a pretty violet one unless they buy this! ;-)

BTW... I'm a member of the mile-out not mile-high club.

Grand total of 5 sold in the last 3 months on our eBay.

No wonder, it's still widely available even though retired. I bought some a while back for £29.99 so I could cash in now, but this will reach £100+ soon ;-)

[Alucard1982]

It is/was an exclusive to TRU over here and they are somewhat limited to about 4 per state.

[Furious_george]

Perhaps , but only 8 listings here so hardly widely available. 

Edit : snuck in there Alucard.

Falls down to lack of visibility to us, we don't have an offical LEGO store and DJ/TRU getting exclusives limits what the greater public knows what is out. This is what will hurt sets like Temple of Airjutzu, etc

[Guest TabbyBoy]

A lot of sets have just "unretired" on the LEGO UK site. If it's not a glitch, it's BIG trouble for a lot of us!
