Popular Post Infiltrator Posted November 4, 2018 Popular Post Posted November 4, 2018 Hi folks! I've been in a Lego brand store in Austria and they have following sets marked with a Tag as "retired soon" (Auslaufmodell 2018). The shop assistant told me that this should be mostly the final decision otherwise it will lure the customers with false information to buy the sets and that is forbidden. However, I took photos but I'm sure that I haven't got all of them photographed. Sorry for the bad pic quality but I was in a hurry. Here is the list: 10243 - Parisian Restaurant 10246 - Detective's Office 10247 - Ferris Wheel 21310 - Old Fishing Store 21312 - Women of NASA 71042 - Silent Mary 75060 - Slave I 75144 - Snowspeeder 75827 - Ghostbusters HQ Hope this helps a little bit?!

You wrote: 10243 - Parisian Restaurant 10246 - Detective's Office But on the photo it clearly shows 10246 DO and 10251 BB to be retiring. It doesn't say 10243 PR is going out... Quote

It doesn't say 10243 PR is going out... Yes, you are right - it's the 10251 - Brick Bank! My mistake, but the 10243 - Parisian Restaurant is also exiting. I missed to photograph that. Thank you for correcting the mistake. I didn't even recognize that 10251 is marked. Maybe also a poor seller? It was marked up to 120€ on LEGO Shop at Home for 3 days last year afaik?! Quote

Interesting, that's new information for me. So we're going to have three modular buildings all retiring this season. WOW! Quote

I still think that some will stay. 10243 & 1246 seem to be the right candidates for retirement?! Edited November 4, 2018 by Infiltrator Quote

Or maybe LEGO wants to go a new direction with the Modulars, and use the Diner's 1950s design as cue for the upcoming Modulars. So the pre-WW2 designed buildings like BB, DO, PR are simply all finished... ? We'll have to see, haven't we? Quote

Val-E Posted November 4, 2018 Posted November 4, 2018 At this point a definition of "soon" would be helpful.... Quote

Yellow Castle Posted November 4, 2018 Posted November 4, 2018 Well according to the LEGO Christmas magazine that came through post last week PR looks to be staying and DO definitely going. I don’t know if my money is on BB.....should we bank on it? Sorry poor pun?. On the Architecture tip, any idea on those heading into sunset? Chicago as mentioned further up post and also SaH had it in sale while back. 1 Quote

Chicago as mentioned further up post and also SaH had it in sale while back. Hmm, I'm thinking about buying some 21019 Eiffel Towers because they hit the lifespan of the Big Ben (21013). Any ideas of a 21019 retirement? I didn't hear any rumors of architecture sets retiring. ? Quote
Val-E Posted November 4, 2018 Posted November 4, 2018 If you want to know other retiring sets, SAH has added more to its sale. Quote

Ciglione Posted November 5, 2018 Posted November 5, 2018 So... Saturn V is not retiring? That is one set I want and still do not have. Quote

calmdahn Posted November 5, 2018 Posted November 5, 2018 US SAH only has one item listed as "retiring soon". Quote
