The ideas range is very hard to judge too. John Lewis had Fishing Store and Ship in Bottle at 25% off for week now. FS went OOS in 2-3 days and SB is still in stock - a sign of bad resell value? Not long until the Retiring Soon Tags and Black November deals, decisions decisions? Expand I'm keeping an eye out around Black Friday, but I won't be going silly this time around. I have a few sets earmarked, but won't go near them unless discounts are the highest so far. The Ship in a Bottle ain't one of them and could be the first turkey since Adventure Time, but who knows?

Expand Yes have my doubts about the Ship in a Bottle too as the other half and the kids turned their noses up at it, will wait and see if Smyths clear them at a good buy in. Quote
Yellow Castle Posted October 25, 2018 Posted October 25, 2018 Ship in bottle is still in stock at JL for £52.49 (25%) off but time will tell if bigger discounts will happen next couple of months. Be interested to see what ideas sets go this year, I reckon Saturn will stay a little while longer. Also Tron has only been available on SaH in UK (i believe) so maybe a short life? Quote

Expand I believe it is 31/12/19 for retirement. There would have to be another Chess Set out before shelving this one. It was also OOS earlier in the year. 1 Quote
grabbitfast Posted October 27, 2018 Posted October 27, 2018 (edited) For those rushing in on the Brickheadz supposedly ending theme, my local Asda have the Homer Simpson Krusty the Clown sets sitting with no sign of interest. Do you get the feeling your being zoomed by Lego.com. On The flipside still waiting for my Newt Scamander & Gellert Grindelwald sets dispatched on the 18th, contacted Leg sah told me to get back to them if I dont get them for the 29th.Dont think I will ever see them. Edited October 27, 2018 by grabbitfast Quote
Villager Chris Posted October 28, 2018 Posted October 28, 2018 Probably a limited number of x units to Asda. Think Phasma and Tesco and you get the idea. Quote

grabbitfast Posted November 2, 2018 Posted November 2, 2018 So my order is not coming, am I relieved, will be refunded and getting a points bonus for my disappointment lol. And better still now in my local store and with a voucher will be £3 cheaper each. Some times the Sun does shine, sold out apparently with no re-supply date yet. Do I sense a flurry of activity.
