Val-E Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 Carbuncles is a good alternative. To get back on topic, EU SAH now has 68 items on sale and a couple of chocolate logs, such as Ninjago 70590 are back to available status. It will be interesting to see what happens to sets like DSSS and how long they actually take to retire. Quote

Members may instead use the much more positive chocolate log At first read, I thought your statement was ironic given your username. Then I read your username again and realized it wasn't poopy2612. I blame the misreading on the constant toilet references here. Edited February 10, 2017 by lazuli16 1 Quote

Fully agree, the quesion should sound like: "Has the Turd-1 retired now?" ;-) Edited February 10, 2017 by mauro23 Quote

asharerin Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 16 hours ago, Brickshopper said: With such different markets and interesting characters posting (I am looking at you val-e and tabby) would it make sense for a separate US retiring soon and a UK/Europe retiring soon thread? These posts seem less and less relevant to US brickpickers and many of the posts are negative in nature and bashing the Lego product. This site wants to promote the Lego brand in a positive way and having this distasteful criticism is not good for the readers or the site. These posts are the best contraindicators ever and have made us $$$. Keep them coming! 1 Quote

Anything that flies under the radar of most of the resellers (I'm looking at you too, Elves) can pay great dividends. At least here in the States... 1 Quote

At least my moobs have reduced a bit since I've resuming cycling. Anyhow, JL in Reading still have F40, Mini & T1 on the shelves with Nov'16 seal codes. The tatty taped-up GBHQ is still an eyesore there and I took it to the till asking for a big discount that was refused ;-( Quote

I went out today and saw a bird, I also saw some cows, they were in a hurd, when I got in I had lemon curd, but purchasing Lego was really the word. It's just a shame that although I was spurred, the Lego set I had delivered, was a bit of a turd. yes I think that's enough now... Quote
lorantchik Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 I think this controversy with the word "turd" is not, as it's only employed, as I understood, when an EOL set is a bad selling on Amazon or ebay...after a few months...or it's still alive on Lego shop too long. I'm "turded" too as I have some sandcrawlers and ewok villages to sell quickly with hoped benefits (I'm moving to canada this summer). Maybe I won't do it. And that's the game... Quote
