Retiring Soon - open speculation

[Hardwired]

BN.com is listing Popup Book 21315 as Retiring Soon. No such language on Lego.com. 

Fun idea but missed the mark in playability. Still available in a lot of places.

lol - it was on the list to retire last year and is retired product in europe.

then in north america,  the final bargeful arrived and it has never gotten close to being retired or out of stock at amazon and shop at home.

Dear heavens, $70. No wonder it's still in stock. :)

I had the chance to pick these up at 48% off, passed on it. I don't feel this set.

Edit: Just checked eBay, still sells regularly for 50€ 6 months after EOL. 21313 was clearly the better choice here.

I only ever bought one Pop-Up Book set, for myself. It's a gimmick set that's fun for a brief moment. Glad I never bought more of them.

Target exclusive. I believe it’s going so I have a few.

75956 from Target now has the sticker. So, these may be done after that supply is sold.

Also, somebody mentioned before Sidney and Las Vegas as retiring candidates. Both also are becoming difficult to find, most difficult is las Vegas.

They were about £180 each. Glad I made sure to get the house and Kwik-E-Mart before they went - mine are still sealed but I plan to open and build. I seem to remember some saying it was brave to buy the Kwik-E-Mart at RRP. Things worked out I guess.

I really regret not getting one of each for my collection. Too. Much. Lego.

I think you're asking to be tarred and feathered.  There is no such thing.

[Hardwired]

Have we talked about the Chinese New Year sets yet?  I think they're awesome but I don't really get much of a read from anyone on how long they're going to be around and if there is going to be any demand.

Someone said "too much lego". 

I was making a joke that there is no such thing and to even imply that there was they should be tarred and feathered.  Dipped in boiling tar and then a lot of chicken feathers - it's medieval torture that makes absolutely no sense now that I think about it.
