dx0520 Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 I’m at Legoland, anyone got questions? I.E. stores have no BB, OFS, DO, Big Ben...as expected. Lots of mini coopers, tower bridges, architectures, and Star Wars sets that are on the retiring list. The new modular garage is out and plentiful. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crayxlp Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 although I would still think that 75887 Porsche 919 Hybrid is retired effectively in EU region - not just that its listed as sold out for weeks on SAH, but its such a tiny set that not including its mini thumbnail in the EU catalogue simply makes no sense (all other cars are in that..)

legorunner Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Whats the word on the seasonal brickheadz from 2018? Are they done or will they stick around to pair with the 2019 editions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iahawks550 Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 From what I've read (I think), Speed Champions is having it's last batch of new sets. Are we expecting this latest 2019 series to have a one year run and basically be finished at the end of the year, or a two year run through 2020?

$20 on joe vs dan Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Even if Speed Champions series ends, it's not like Lego is going to stop making licensed cars in this price point. Just means Lego will likely re-image into another series...maybe jump the price point to $19.99 with less stickers (which would be my hope)...IF the licensed cars line does get improved then these lesser versions will only have niche collector value and the car enthusiast would likely want the "better" sets. Based on my observation of Ebay and BL mechandise of older licensed sets (pre-Speed champion)...I get sticker shock for what are clearly less desirable older sets...(No thank-you...and I Love cars sets). SO if I'm thinking of spending $$$ on older sets, I am basically hoping Lego does not improve that particular car (ie Lamborghinis). I find it interesting that Lego's large licensed car sets have been all over the place in terms of pricing: Proches $300, Chiron $350, 2019 Porcshe $150...I am not sure how their licensing agreement is set up, but clearly Lego is trying to find the sweet spot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PLUS they have a very interesting little detail.. background scenery on most of them are based on Asian (Chinese?) locations.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think anyone is suggesting that they simply change the name/branding of the series...the only reason for the change is a new price point which will be driven by the licensing deals (per set, per total units, % of profit, endless details) and their market research...maybe the current series primary price point of $14.99 isn't cutting it. Something tangible will change but I believe Lego will always be offerring small minifigure scale cars w/ licensing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People get tired of the same or similar theme. It happens with almost every theme, except for the generic themes like CITY or Friends, which caters to new and younger kids that enter (and eventually leave) the marketplace on an annual basis. STAR WARS is an exception, yet even that beloved theme is long in the tooth as they say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The LEGO Star Wars theme could have been fine - but it was hit with a big double wammy. Between LEGO sabotaging the collectible aspects of the theme, and Disney's unfair attacks on any long time fans who would dare to critique storyline/character decisions. It's actually more surprising that things haven't been worse. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a ratio I thought Id never see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
