Menno Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 Any idea when 71040 (Disney Castle) will retire, year released: 2016? Quote

fantomas007 Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 I expect retiring this year after 3.5 years life, what is more than average. But - its a that kind of set, which life can be special - so I am giving just 50% on retiring this year. It can easy live next year, another year, etc. So it is very risky to buy it without "retiring soon" notice... 1 Quote
iahawks550 Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 I would be shocked if this set retires in the next five years. 1 Quote
MrToes16 Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 If and when it retires, I expect a re-vamp a couple of months later with a new Mickey mini-fig headpiece an added blue brick separator and labeled UCS. RRP: $800 1 4 1 Quote
roxio Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 where did that tabby retiring thread go, didn't he want his account deleting 31 March ? ? Quote
ravenb99 Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 Rumor is castle is going sooner then later... last update was 12/31/20 from the extension last year, but could always move up a year, won't know for a few months for sure 2 Quote
CosmicSpeed Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 Now is a good time to buy with 2x VIP. I doubt this set gets discounted even with retirement potentially looming. Quote
Brick625 Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 This set will be discounted for sure, just have to wait. It will not retire for at least 2 more years. I would not touch this set even with 25% discount, the risk is too big. Also huge box to store. Quote

terrymc4677 Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 T1, Tower Bridge, and Disney Castle? Alex, I’ll take “sets that won’t retire during this century” for $2000. 3 1 Quote
