Emvisawthatswho Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 I see 3 scenarios: massive un-announced retirements due to CV uncertainty minimal retirements (even those on the list) but prolonged and extensive amounts of scarcity (ie OOS/OS dance) The list was mostly right and it's like most years w/ some un-announced sets "disappearing" Treehouse has been scarce since early Nov (I think); but I wouldn't personally tie up capital on any $100+ IDEAS setsAnother scenario - sets due to retire - stock could be available well into Q2 due to Covid - delayed shipping / production / as these sets finally move to distributors and retailers (hello Mr Triceratops Rampage at Wally World). Some sets may not make another appearance, if production was halted. Should be interesting for sure. Type in Retiring Soon on SAH, there are quite a few (not marked) we “know” are retiring - and there are some that would be nice surprises.

LegoTriathlete Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Not sure if this was posted already, but Hidden Side is no longer part of the "Themes" drop down on SAH in US. Sets still show up through search, but I guess that makes it official... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that this is indicative of future results, but the 3 retiring Trolls Sets on clearance at the local LEGO store, there are 6 total sets, and they have not moved in the last week and a half. I have actually been meaning to grab them with promo, but better options have shown up. Also, not that anyone was expecting it to retire, but Wal-Mart stores have gotten restocks of Great Hall.

joneyyy1981 Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 So what are our Bankers for 2021 Retirements? - Architecture San Francisco Possible - Statue of Liberty (should be London & / or NYC, but cannot for the life of me see them retiring) - Roller Coaster, Lunar Lander (hopefully), London Bus, Assembly SQ, Gingerbread House - Ideas Dino Fossils, Friends CP, Treehouse - Stranger Things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most / all of the HP sets should go (apart from D2Cs and the new releases). I wouldn't be surprised if Ship in a Bottle goes again. I expect the Chiron to go as well as a bunch of other Technic sets (e.g. Mixer Truck, 911, Corvette, Mobile Crane, maybe Ducati.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jessekidd13 Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 This is 47 levels of speculation, but I think the Harley goes this year. Between the sale on the HD site (and then they followed it with another promo that involved the set), and it being released in 2019/standard licensing agreements, I think it's dunzo in 2021.

Brad W Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Bold prediction, but I think it's is a pipe dream...It's only been out 17 months and being the only motorcycle in the Expert theme, I say they ride this as long as the VW. lol Plus, it isn't on any retiring list which is why I didn't buy any this year. Good luck to you if it does go... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also typically one of the sets that sells out whenever popular sets get scarce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
