As you say HP could be a factor in a very big drop in sales for Jurassic, I go for a year this time around so around April May 2019 EOL. New Jurassic film due 2021. HP ?

amrandazz Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Brick Bank or Detectives office first? I'm thinking BB since its been discounted and has a little less depth than DO. Or both simultaneously? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt it. Parisian Restaurant is widely considered the best and most popular modular so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(see what I did there ) I gotta agree with calmdahn though. This set is a beaut! I like all 3 of these modulars though. Up until about a month ago I thought it was PR that was going... but who knows.

brecki Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Well, I think the Restaurant and the Detective Office will be EOL this Year. Regarding the lifespan of other sets of this series, both sets reached the average. The Restaurant appeared in 2014, the Office in 2015. So usually they have to be the next EOL sets as Assembly Square (2017) and American Diner (2018) are far too young and the Brick Bank (2016) with a lifespan less than two years would be a great surprise. I guess Restaurant and Office will go as three other sets for sale in this series are enough to cover the market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My absolute fav is BB It's hard for me to say because I still have yet to build any of them, so to be fair, my opinion might change after the build and seeing it right in front of me. I've built Town Hall, Grand Emporium, Pet Shop and Palace Cinema. My favs based on pics would be PR, BB, AS, PC, DO, DD, CC, GG, TH, PS, FB, GE... give or take (little thought put into it). I think they're generally getting better, but still wish I had acquired the older ones I missed (CC, GG, FB).

Guest TabbyBoy Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 I wonder which modular will make way for the resurrected Cafe Corner? ? I'd be very surprised if the powers that be haven't thought about it. All it takes is a new set number and the addition of a brick separator! Seriously, those that are hanging onto retired modulars that have at least doubled in value are taking a big risk. Greed stung those that held onto the original Taj Mahal. As far as retirements are concerned, FWIW I've heard (from a Bright Bricks employee) that LEGO have no intention of retiring the VW Camper or Tower Bridge for at least another 5 years as sales volumes are still very high. Disney may also be hiking the licence fee so LEGO Star Wars sets may become a thing of the past? Good riddance I say! ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one thinks T1 is going but interestingly enough it's been 25% quite a bit lately here in Canada which I had never seen up until that passed month or 2. And as it's been said before, sales on hard to find sets are a lot harder to come by here in Canada. Tower Bridge keeps moving in price on Amazon as well... I'm not necessarily convinced they're going... but makes you wonder. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be an interesting case study. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon74 Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 ourselves open speculations... you could agree on some but TLG will do as they please here the ones I could agree on that short list of 7 "d2c"... more than 7 will retire... 75144 - Snowspeeder 10247 - Ferris Wheel 10242 - Mini Cooper 21313 - Ship in the bottle 21310 - Old fishing store 75827 - GB Firehouse HQ I might not agree on the following but I cannot say that it would be impossible... 75159 - Death Star we are getting closer to year end, TLG will soon apply real "retiring" badges starting from EU LEGO Shop at Home sites: this speculation is fun!
