Lego seems to be still distributing sets out to retailers. Don't fall for the trap. Take Tie helmet for instance, Argos have just got it back in stock everywhere and it's been sold out for ages at Lego. lego listed loads as retiring. corner garage, rollar coaster, croc train, ginger bread house stranger things etc... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StLBrian Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 I was planning on getting the Halloween Owl (40497) and Spider/Haunted House Pack (40493) when the sailboat came back into promo (today), but both are now showing as 'sold out' in the US, but they were each just launched not too long ago. Generally speaking, we know 'sold out' on SAH has not been the most reliable indicator in Europe. Any thoughts on whether these will come back into stock here in the US? Neither were on the StoneWars list for retiring in 2021. For what it's worth, Brickset shows the Owl retiring at the end of 2022 and the Spider/Haunted House retiring at the end of this year. I've heard nothing about whether Brickset's dates are reliable. I can't remember if the Easter Bunny (40463), in the same series as the Owl, was marked as 'sold out' but I know it was unavailable for the longest time then moved to backorder sometime in July.

I reckon there are some sets that are in the grey area that are subject to change when there is a lot of buy in….21322 prob didn’t sell well but prob going like hot cakes recently…. I know resellers don’t dictate this huge global market but combined we must be making a difference to some degree? Im interested to see 21320 Fossils now off list……not a relic yet, did we hoard too many lol 😝 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HandyHand Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 Pirates of Barracuda Bay is back for ordering (Limit 5).
