Has this even been proven yet?

For those that care, seems the Swap and Build feature for the Disney sets will stick around. Cinderella castle will be the top price point moving forward. Ive noticed the larger sets have a longer lifetime for Disney proper. Rapunzel bedroom is a new one to be retired.

Dang, would hate for you to create a riddle for 60 sets.  

Going to take a crack based on rollbacks, stock levels, summer clearance, etc.  You can just add and subtract however you wish 

 

Seeing you took the time to guess I will grade you for your ones you put numbers on.  

City 9/16

Creator 2/2

Duplo 1/4

Friends 0/3

MC 0/1

Ninjago 0/1

SW 9/9 (some numbers were transposed but figured them out)

21/36  58%

Been a long time since school but think 65 was passing...

COnspiracy theory about 75190 going and others not - next year one UCS will be an ISD.

An ISD will be good (I still won;t buy one), but let's hope it's not a lazy rehash of 10030.

A note: all Nexo, Elves, and TLBM sets are retiring. Marked or not, those lines are all toast.

[kumas]

70922 Joker Manor  ? could be a gem, very short life for an exclusive

ah, I see it isnt retiring yet ...

Were the Classic Batcave and SHIELD not enough evidence for you that large SH sets are best avoided?

I've been avoiding SH and SW, large and small for a long time. Two themes that really need to go away IMHO.

Anyone know if 70618 will be done soon?

I'm afraid not.

I think 70618 a top seller. 

I feel we are playing Texas Holdem with Lego. They have turned over the “flop”, shown us the 206 retiring it just waiting on the “turn” and “river” cards. Is Mini or T1 definitely there, any surprises that are gems and not hoarded I wonder? 

Also to confirm is 10259 going before 10254?

70618 is an incredible set, I've just bought another 12 on Amazon UK for £59.99 each using multiple accounts and colleagues.

not everything that is retiring is tagged RETIRING SOON.  that's just reserved for the turd's that need an extra push to get out.

sets that actually sell by themselves don't  need this retail laxative.  or maybe its to help the regular end users to grab what they want before those rotten qfll gobble them up.

Thanks for confirming my queries guys. The mini is bit of gamble as probably hoarded but got a few this week as a timeless classic. At 33% at JL and the BF Lego deal it was worth buying a handful:)

I also saw 70618 on Amazon, also Argos at £59.99 (poor packaging sometimes). Quite a few sites selling other Ninjago sets cheap too, purchased a few this week but not sure if these will do well long term. The Ninjago movie range is very well designed and art work on box great.

The Mini Cooper with a good discount is a no brainer and you'll certainly break-even at worst, I placed multiple orders at JLP earlier as LEGO's website wasn't working... again. I think that the 70618 DB has the most potential of ANY current large set as it's amazing value, even at RRP. I called in some favours today and went in rather large on Amazon. The 70652 Stormbringer at -50% was another potential gem as we all know kid love dragons. I spent more today than in all of 2018 so far ?
