60098 near EOL? TIME to invest?

I agree with Villager Chris. There's a lot of EOL trains on the secondary market now so buy at a huge discount to minimise risk. If the boxes are damaged (eg. from Argos or TRU), you can part them out and sell the individual components separately by putting each bag with its associated manual. Personally, I'd pay £75 tops for this.

Even a new 7938 (EOL) sold on eBay for only £79.99 (RRP £102.99) 5 days ago so a huge discount is paramount, don't even think about paying RRP ;-)

a curiosity to share: 70905 Batman movie - The Scuttler is currently listed as out of stock on Czech website - but what caught my attention was that somebody adjusted the max limit per order to 10. Ive checked all other sets tagged as retiring and majority of them is listed with 20 or more (except exclusives such as Brickheadz max 5 or Kwik Markt also 5). Even that Elves Water Dragon that is out of stock with a note "call to check upon availability" is listed with max 20 per order.

is it just a flaw or some tell sign..(in case of The Scuttler)?

75201. Apparently 75205 is another Cantina too.

I've got 75201 showing as a diorama set, it may contain an AT-ST but can't see it being full size

(75201) – described as a diorama looking set, I guess it has something to do with the set depicting a particular background similar to that of the Battle on Takodana (75139) and Battle on Scarif (75171) sets. 75201 is said to feature a redesigned Captain Phasma, and First Order disguised Finn and Rose. Images of these minifigures have been circulating via Instagram so its just a matter of clicks before you can find them.

76052 batcave now sold out at EU SAH.

Good riddance. Judging by the difficulty they could get rid of this and the performance of the Tumbler I do not have much hope for this set. Personally I think it is a fun albeit imperfect set, but I am not the market. I have one for my collection and that's it.

The Tumbler is dire and I'm dumping mine as soon as I can clear RRP after fees and tax. No more Pooper Heroes for me!

Not a fan..

Apparently all speed champions marked for retiring are being produced on backorder for 30 days. May stunt the growth of these sets. Summer TRU clearance?

Speed Champions are "lovely" .. okay, excuse my obvious attachment to this theme.. I consider them kind of "SW microfighters". There are six more scheduled to be released in 2018 and after that most likely sayonara - as the lead designer quit and moved with his wife to UK.

If the lead helicopter designer ever quits, Lego Group will be on their knees.
