Still can't be if you say 200 are going. 110 seems way too low, you're right. Those sets gotta go ? Is there any set in your list that are unexpected to retire?

Yellow Castle Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Ha ha, there are so many people salivating and scratching at the door to see the list, me too?? Seeing the list would be great, I’m curious if the Creator Beetle is going? I’ve worked out most sets (I think)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val-E Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Unfortunately VWs just don´t seem to want to retire. I reckon the bus will be the next vehicle to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are public lists doing the rounds since September so pretty much everyone now knows what is going apart from maybe 2 or 3 store exclusive sets or last minute additions. It´s a lot less sets than last year mainly due to the massive cull of Brickheadz but we can also see less large D2c retirements, which is a worry as there are too many options. Lego have also extended a lot of best seller sets so they seem to be more and more sales driven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elmaslıefendi Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 I just think TLG realized the price could be uped by 50%... maybe they retire it, wait a year and bring it back as a $180 set... but that would cause an enormous outrage, seems illogical, so I really don't know why the hell they will retire it...

Val-E Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 The sooner they retire it the sooner they could bring it back. It does seem they have closed the Creator vault for a while, maybe as SW remakes have been keeping them busy. Next week SAH should start tagging retiring sets anyway.

Val-E Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 (edited) BTW there are currently 538 SVs on Bricklink EUR compared to 103 Old Fishing Stores, 109 Voltrons, 107 Banks, 335 Pet Shops, 355 Ectos and 446 PRs. Only T1 would appear more hoarded at 880 units. That´s a hell of a lot of stock considering many people will not have even bothered listing theirs yet. The good news is almost all are listed at RRP or above. Edited November 6, 2019 by Val-E 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But consider shipping, e.g. a German buyer won't pay American shipping costs, that filters out many sellers and scales down the market. Plus it's 2019 and a lot of people STILL don't know BL, they go and pay the ridiculous Amazon prices. Comfort? Fear of the unknown? ?

Darth_Raichu Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 One interesting thing to note. Just a few years ago if you told me LEGO was retiring 200+ sets, I would have asked if they were closing business. We live in interesting time. There are side effects of having this huge of catalog that we won't see until 2022 or beyond. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When interest in your product continues to dwindle away, there's really no reason to have so many. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carini26 Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 FWIW, dates when SAH updated site with near full list of tagged sets: 2016 - 11/11 2017 - 10/28 2018 - 11/16 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kouks Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Any chance 10262 - JB Aston Martin goes this year? Don't think I have seen it on any retiring lists? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
