Emvisawthatswho Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 The argument is always shipping. Here it's 5€ for a 2kg, 6€ for a 5kg, 8,50€ for a 10kg package, so it doesn't really matter. You can ship the biggest set for 8,50€, the smallest set for 5€. In the US things may be different. The hardest part for me about small sets is pushing volume, I'd rather double my money on one big exclusive rather than tripling it with 10 sales. Not worth the hassle & time is money.I’d rather send in a bunch of smaller sets FBA, that are not likely to get returned, easy to pack a bunch in 1 box, and let the money flow in. Just my opinion and it works for me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(75089). From the sets you mentioned just 75089 has made it over retail here. That's the case with almost every clone trooper set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

House Schubert Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Someone heard that someone said that they heard from a lego store employee that assembly square was retiring in 2019. Anyone care to soundly refute that rumor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone care to soundly refute that rumor? I wouldn't be surprise if they did the same as the Mini Cooper. They just let stock run down at full retail price until it was gone. No 20-30% off last kick. Just faded away. Right now it's the only Modular Building I'm missing; I just want it for a decent discount. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone care to soundly refute that rumor? We have signage here that it's having another run in stores - our major stores are all getting another batch in for January and have been taking preorders. I'd say it'll retire July or Dec 2020 (the latter being more likely). 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain_chaos Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 I'm sure that there won't be another modular double retirement until we've had another year of none retiring (as when PS was extended). Otherwise, they won't have as many as they would like on sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't put much on that. Their inventory goes so quick at some store stat they are constantly shuffling sets around as they sell out and try to fill the voids. I lot of the time those tags are just there from whatever occupied that spot earlier. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lego Benito Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Bollocks. I missed Parisian Restaurant being about to retire. Any chance of a reappearance at Lego.com? Will need to pop in and see if the local toy shop still has it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can still pop up, sure. It popped up once on SAH EU -> gone within 15 minutes. I'd search elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
