ajconway85 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Where is it £160? I can see £240 at Lego and £200 at smyths £160 was the price at smyths. However, it appears that they have increased it as of today and is now back to £200 mark. First positive movement in months. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kumas Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 weird, it was £160 at Smyths 2 days ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajconway85 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 weird, it was £160 at Smyths 2 days agoIt was yesterday too, maybe chancing an increase in interest due to forthcoming retirement. Would not be surprised to see this drop again soon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellow Castle Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 It was £160 in Smyths in Crayford last week, quite a few boxes too. Sometimes their prices online don't always match price sticker in shop. Worth a phone call to your nearest shop if anyone interested.

Val-E Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 (edited) Google search results show 169.99 and 199.99 prices so the change seems to have been in the last few days. Maybe they are expecting an Adam West demand related spike. Edited June 23, 2017 by Val-E 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenix_2k1 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 (edited) More likely they've seen the retiring soon tag and are expecting Tumbler like demand they can cash in on. Remember this is the company who sold the Tumbler above RRP when they saw demand. Edited June 23, 2017 by Fenix_2k1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember this is the company who sold the Tumbler above RRP when they saw demand. It could be a general online price refresh as there are a few of other items that have moved. Some sets have disappeared from online as well, maybe worth popping in your local to see if they’re clearance-ing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yellow Castle Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Smyths Crawley indeed had Batcave back at £200 today. I wonder if Smyths will put up prices of other sets that are retiring on US Lego site, e.g. 60098 and 60125 if they switch to retire on Lego UK shortly?

inversion Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 (edited) I don't know what is happening in Hungary, but the local web shops are going apeshit by massively discounting some exclusives. 30% discounts or more are quite common. And not just the bad sellers, basically everything. Just bought a Porsche with 40% off. These guys tend to have some early hints at what is going to happen, so I would not be surprised at an exclusives exodus this year to narrow down the overly bloated portfolio.

With so much over-production, vast QFLL stocks, flooded aftermarket and so much remaining on retails shelves, it's hardly surprising. I can see LEGO downsizing soon, greed gets to us all in the end ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Val-E Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 DSSS now backordered 4th July at EU SAH. Bad news if that means they are making more of them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what to think of that set either way. Great chance that doctor strange will appear again on future sets as the avengers films progress. Not sure how many will want the other two minifigs if they can buy future sets with Dr strange along with other minifigs. Thanks for the alert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheese Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Star Wars sets 30% off in store, including Rebel Frigate which is retired. Expect the others to be retired before the Sep wave 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenix_2k1 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Will be interesting to see which Star wars sets get retired this year. I think ones in pic above will all go. I expect all TFA sets to disappear but there is a question mark over the x wings, will they really retire both? Then there could be some early rogue one retirements. I imagine hover tank is a likely candidate. They could retire Tie Striker too possibly with new Tie in TLJ sets. Micro fighters they'll probably retire all but 2 of the Rogue One sets and supplement it with 4 TLJ microfighters. Construction figures you'd think all TFA ones would disappear but their retirements have been all over the place so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val-E Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 I reckon all R1 sets and figures , all TFA except Falcon and X-Wings. UCS TIE as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenix_2k1 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 I think 75105 is done. UCS Falcon apparently on its way and they'll want to clear the decks for a year or so before releasing the Han Solo Star Wars Story Edition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different customer bases and remember the UCS will be a SAH exclusive for the first quarter of its release period. Tesco won´t stock it in any case so there has to be a MF playset around until Xmas as it is the absolute best selling set. No remake for TLJ means that, at best, they will stop making 75105 at the end of this year, like with 7965 in 2014. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
