eliminator Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Sorry if already mentioned, but I just received the Lego store catalog for 2017 and there's no UCS Tie Fighter. Perhaps it just didn't make the cut.... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other City sets may retire sooner. Or even later but I can't think of any that lasted more than three years. There will be a new police station (60141) in 2017 to replace the current police station (60047) from 2014. Trains have lasted 4 years before. 1 hour ago, eliminator said: Sorry if already mentioned, but I just received the Lego store catalog for 2017 and there's no UCS Tie Fighter.

Mini is there, no Simpsons, no Shield (at least, in the US version). MF still features. Ecto 1&2 next to GBHQ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eliminator Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 (edited) Of note, there's no VW van and no Tower Bridge. Edit: Probably no need to advertise them since they've been around since 2011ish. Edited December 29, 2016 by eliminator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eliminator Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 (edited) Also, Technic Arocs 42043 isn't there but should be around til next holiday season. I'd be very surprised to we the Ferris Wheel go so soon. Slow seller? Remember, the FW and Tower Bridge did go on Black Friday sale at the UK LEGO Shop at Home...perhaps a hint of retirement.

Val-E Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 (edited) So basically SImpsons, Tie, ToA, Shield, Ferris, T1 and TB are not there.Did I miss any other exclusives - modulars? Edited December 29, 2016 by Val-E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val-E Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 As per German catalogue TFA stuff is still there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcandre Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 The catalog is not a good gauge to determine retirements. It's been proven time and time again. The SSD had a massive two page spread when it was sold out at LEGO Shop at Home and everywhere else. VW and TB has been missing from many issues but live on in perpetuity. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val-E Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 True. However they are all strong candidate to be done by this time next year, if not sooner. Amazed the Simpsons are still going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val-E Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Down to the last 29 retiring soon sets at EU SAH. Friends is done, it´s basically a Ninjago v Duplo v Nexo slugfest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only real set that will be gone from this list is the Simpsons. I can't see Shield disappearing after a year. That Tie Fighter will be around forever. Stay tuned.

Leopard Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Has anyone bought USC Tie Fighter at a discount, if so how much was the lowest? Haven't seen one in such a long time honestly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't seen one in such a long time honestly. I believe 50 USD was the lowest and about 100 over in Europe. Could anyone post recent seal codes of all the above sets?

Haven't seen one in such a long time honestly. It has been almost exclusively available at a discount ... 40$ thing was a fluke .

GhostDad Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Thanks to this site, I nabbed a UCS TIE off Amazon for ~$100 a few months back. As I recall, it was the standard $140 price + coupon of some sort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iahawks550 Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 UCS Tie retiring would be a gift, but thousands have been bought at 20-40% off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
