HandyHand Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 (edited) 1 hour ago, HandyHand said: Pirates of Barracuda Bay is back for ordering (Limit 5). Will be interesting to see if it was just a one off batch that will soon sell out again, or a large amount that will stay available for the coming months. Well, that didn't last long. Already back to Temporarily Out of Stock A-Wing Starfighter has dimensions and is labeled "Retiring Soon" Crocodile Locomotive has dimensions and is labeled "Retiring Soon" Ship in a Bottle re-release has dimensions and is labeled "Retiring Soon" .... But, in general the theory does hold up. These are the exceptions to the general rule. Edited September 14, 2021 by HandyHand 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forget how to read these stamps, can someone point me to the thread on this or provide a quick refresher please? I believe the first digits is the time (year or quarter maybe) and the last two is the location (maybe)? please and ty!

This is how I read them: S1 (season/year? 1) and 33 (production run in week 33) I'm not sure if anyone has a definitive answer but it could be that 33 is the week number of the production batch. Although I have seen contradicting codes as well. Can't find the old thread that quickly but it has been discussed many times throughout different posts. One thing is for sure: when it is retired it doesn't matter anymore (to me) Edited September 14, 2021 by Eric83 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least; that has always made sense to me. Can't find the old thread that quickly but it has been discussed many times throughout different posts. It's week, factory, year. So 33S1 would be 33rd week of 2021 in factory S (Czech Republic, I believe). I didn't check but dimensions could be related to release date, with later releases having that info. And since older sets are more likely to retire... Or the Treehouse disappears 😉 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First time I have seen that.... There are 5 digit seal codes as well, which follow the <day of the week><week#><factory><year> format. So 733S1 is Sunday (or Saturday) of the 33rd week of 2021, produced in Kladno. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mathew Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 The problem I have with the San Francisco set is the giant, phallic looking building. It disrupts the aesthetic of an otherwise nice looking set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
