It’s hard to say really. With the new Disney train coming out, you’d think they would wanna keep it in stock so people can pair it together.

Like keeping a haunted house around for Halloween and keeping a holiday station for a holiday train. Even though Amazon helped alleviate that.

Any ideas on when Ninjago City is going? I was hoping it would be black fridayed at LEGO SaH and I might buy 2. Typically any set is a winner if you sell it on Amazon, except for Prince of Persia. Those sets are D E A D DEAD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tacsniper Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Doesn't this happen every summer? Big sets going to TOOS, or reduced limit just to have it come back in full force in the fall? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big sets going to TOOS, or reduced limit just to have it come back in full force in the fall? doesn't it depend on recent shelf life? For example, the Harry Potter sets went TOOS, but came back over-flowing in the fall, but they were new sets Maybe sets that have been around for over a year are past seasonal flux and when they go TOOS, that's a sign of the end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terrymc4677 Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Found this on Reddit a little bit ago. Can anyone else confirm this or has anyone heard this yet?Slow seller and over priced. Just a tactic used to induce sales. This set needs to be at least 60% off before I’d even consider buying it for resale. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ravenb99 Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Standard big set 24*20*8 shipping box. Sells well on secondary market. Could be good one to load up on if short release.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val-E Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Joker Manor was a similar case and is the shortest run D2C ever if I am not mistaken. Even that one lasted 13 months and this set has only just come out of SAH exclusive period, so it is a bit early to say. I´d wager it goes next winter along with the better selling Movie sets but that some smaller non exclusive turds will go this winter. Movie 1 had a few short run sets that did ok in the end.

I've taken pictures of "Retiring Soon" tags on sets at the LEGO store and other exclusives surrounding them have retired sooner. You almost get the impression that the circle covers up the "er rather than later" remaining portion of the message. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shneebs Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Voltron on 20% off at Walmart.ca right now... sign of end of life? Walmart Canada discounts have been a sign of retirement in the past... Would be a short run if true... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walmart Canada discounts have been a sign of retirement in the past... Would be a short run if true... Voltron was discounted to 100€ by amazon France a few months ago. Hopefully we will see this discount again. Assume it’s more a set for the US market... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picked them up for 45-55% off from Amazon France - best I've ever seen, and it happened 3 times (100, 90 and 100 euro) . After 1st time, you could sell them still for 140 euro. After 3rd time, people offer max 110, so have to keep some boxes a bit longer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
