They had aisle displays for Black Friday, so I picked up a bunch in store. I also had some shipped to store, which I usually have a good experience with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't find many in store. I've been haggling with their online CS to come up with an amicable solution for all the time I've wasted replacing damaged sets the last 30 days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m interested to hear how your negotiations turn out. I feel most online CS folks have little leeway to make good on our misfortunes. And many successful companies don’t get how things like bad shipping experiences may have pocketed them an extra fifty cents per item, but is only tolerated by their customers for lack of options. If you have a CS rep that can make “right” for their mistakes, then maybe they also have management that is listening to their mistakes and can take actions to reduce them in the future.

redcell Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 For you guys that have been around the block (heh), how do the non-EOY retirements typically work? I know COVID makes things potentially screwy, but do the same sort of lists tend to pop up, or are there a lot of surprises/sudden disappearances of sets? Is there another production turnover mid-year, or are there just sort of scattered instances throughout? JesseLego basically has two retirement points each year...7/31 and 12/31. A smaller number of sets is retired 7/31 than 12/31, but there's no real rhyme or reason about whether a set goes mid-year or end-of-year. And when a set is retired mid-year, it may disappear as early as April or May, or remain available until later in the year. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voltron Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 5 hours ago, joneyyy1981 said: This still has me scratching my head. I can see a mid year retirement personally. This is usually due to JL not being able to order the item from Lego. As the back order is down as April on SAH right now, maybe why JL have removed as they can't get stock for a few months. Or second option is like you said, suppliers won't get any more batches after the back orders are fulfilled, and it goes Q2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jessekidd13 Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 I think it's the only Star Wars set from 2017 or 2018 still around (oops, I guess UCS MF is still there), so it has to be either retiring soon or significant in some way to upcoming SW stuff, I would think. Either way, I like that one a lot. Unrelated, has like, ALMOST ALL the HP stuff that is retiring totally dried up in the last few days?

Brad W Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Here is the list I've been going by. As noted there was an update in December, but this seems to be pretty close to what has been reported. HP, Ideas and Creator Expert sets are the ones most in question I believe. https://www.brickfanatics.com/lego-sets-retiring-in-2020-october-update/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Secret Squirrel Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Rumours of new up and coming Lego sets this year including a new Death Star. Think this will effect the resale of the retiring Death Star. 🙁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
