jchiappetta Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 Architecture Burj Khalifa, Willis Tower and Rockefeller Center are also gone. Quote
Darth_Raichu Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 Orc Forge is finally dead! Yay!!! Paging willy431 willy431, it is safe to come out now 1 Quote
tonysbricks Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 I am in deep with LotR ... HD, HK army, forges, and weathertop. Today is a good day. Quote
hxckid88 Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 Here's hoping to one more sale for fun houses. Quote
zskid00 Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 Has anyone seen TRU retail stores restocking the Funhouse set recently? My store has some left but they haven't been moving since the pre-Christmas sales. They are grossly overpriced right now and I am also hoping there is one last sale before they head off into the sunset. Quote
njseale Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 Here's hoping to one more sale for fun houses. I could use another 10.........or maybe 50. Quote
hxckid88 Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 I think biggest take away from all of this is these are the first 2 architecture sets to be retired. Curious to see what happens over the next year with them Quote
Migration Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 I think biggest take away from all of this is these are the first 2 architecture sets to be retired. Curious to see what happens over the next year with them No their not. First in a while, but not the first. still no Robie.... Quote
tonysbricks Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 Willis tower and Sungnyemun went before. Quote
hxckid88 Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 I just looked that up.... Havnt been gone for long though right? Not enough for any solid data back. I stand corrected Quote
Migration Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 John Hancock has done very well for itself since it's retirement. Sipping margaritas and chillin on the beach. Sungnemun has done alright as well, but not to the same extent. I think John Hancock surprised a lot of people, it's selling over 5x retail, not sure if these newer ones will do as well but I am willing to settle for 3-4x regardless. 1 Quote
exciter1 Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 I mean, this seems like quite a bit to retire at once. Well, at least within 6 months. Is this pretty typical? Friends mid-size sets wave 1 (Prediction: Olivia's House and Summer Riding Camp will be retired this Summer) Lego Batman 2 LOTR Wave 1 Lone Ranger Galaxy Squad Chima Wave 1 Not forgetting City and Star Wars of course.

CNH1974 Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 Orc Forge is finally dead! Yay!!! It was a lingering death.... RIP I mean, this seems like quite a bit to retire at once. Well, at least within 6 months. Is this pretty typical? Friends mid-size sets wave 1 (Prediction: Olivia's House and Summer Riding Camp will be retired this Summer) Lego Batman 2 LOTR Wave 1 Lone Ranger Galaxy Squad Chima Wave 1 Not forgetting City and Star Wars of course. LOTR Wave 1 is finally rising in price, except for 9473 which is still available in most places. Presumably next to go will be Hobbit wave 1. June time??? Although as said above Goblin King is going now. Quote
exciter1 Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 Come on Two Face Chase. I'm really surprised Batwing officially went to retired before Two-Face. You can still find Batwing in stores much more frequently than you can ever find a Two-Face. Quote
chinothegeeko Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 Was hoping batcave would too. Either way great news! Gandalf arrives and shelob attacks are showing as sold out still not retired Quote
chinothegeeko Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 Might have missed it but attack of the wargs is retired Quote
zskid00 Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 I mean, this seems like quite a bit to retire at once. Well, at least within 6 months. Is this pretty typical? I would think this has a lot to do with the large number of licenses and sets LEGO is cranking out these days. There is just an overwhelming amount of lines and products to try to keep up with and there wouldn't be room at retail or in online warehouses for all the new sets if they didn't retire many of the older ones.
