johnwray Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 Well, it started here https://community.lego.com/t5/LEGO-General/SAY-NO-TO-LEGO-SIMPSONS/td-p/5291968 Got locked, but the same thing keeps popping up everywhere. Peoples do petitions and angry letters and stuff. Might buy some more Simpson houses and send few more even angrier letters and flame a few topics in random boards. For sure gets retired... We should all stock up on Simpsons Houses and minifigs, then collectively drum up outrage across the internet to increase chances of it retiring prematurely. Who's with me! 1 Quote
legodelorean Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 This 'controversy' reminds me of how all the schools were flipping out about Bart Simpson "Don't have a cow, man" t-shirts when I was a kid. If you had Simpson's anything in school they'd send you home to change or confiscate it. I totally remember this too. Quote

Ciglione Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 I noticed something interesting (at least for me) today. I went to a big toyshop in my area who carries alot of exclusives. They are not cheap. But when they have sales, they have good sales! Before they always had the 10220 T1 Camper and the 10226 Sopwith Camel proudly on the shelf with exclusives. But now... the T1 Camper (about 5 boxes) and the Sopwith (about 8 boxes) were on the floor in a corner. Their place was taken now by the Simpsons house. For me that is a clear indication that they will be on sale soon and when finished they won't get any more. I think the end is nigh for these sets. I will hop in the shop regularly to check if they put them on sale. Cause when they do... they do it sneaky without a sound. Quote
king156 Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 I heard the t1 camper is not going until January? Quote
biniou Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 (...) they do it sneaky without a sound. There's a reason why... 2 Quote
chanoh Posted August 2, 2014 Posted August 2, 2014 Anybody heard about the retirement of Town Hall? I was told that TH will be gone before Pet Shop this year. I know Pet Shop was released earlier than Town Hall. BUT the source mentioned that UCS Tumbler would be released on September. It was July 2 when I heard that. Was there any rumor about the tumbler at that time? Quote
justgod Posted August 2, 2014 Posted August 2, 2014 I have heard the same, but it means nothing. Still picking up one of each every month, just in case. Quote

justgod Posted August 2, 2014 Posted August 2, 2014 GE first. I am hoping TH goes first and catches a lot of people off guard. That is just me, and I have no more insight than a chicken egg. 1 Quote

Was there any rumor about the tumbler at that time? This rumor has been knocking around for months now. Pure speculation as usual I would say, based soley on the notion that the TH isn't a big seller. There's been talk of the Tumbler going back months. Ed Mack confirmed it on here before July 2nd, if I remember rightly. I suspect your 'source' read that on BP. Quote

Anyway he mentioned Santa Workshop on Oct also. We need to wait until than to confirm how accurate his info is. Sent from my iPhone using Brickpicker Quote

folivo76 Posted August 2, 2014 Posted August 2, 2014 The HH is already retired according to the lego salesperson. Quote
Ed Mack Posted August 2, 2014 Posted August 2, 2014 It is my belief that LEGO internally considers sets "retired," even though they are still available for sale. It can take months to clear out inventory and the "Retiring Soon" notation is not always applied to every set. Quote

Sent from my iPhone using Brickpicker I mentioned Santa's Workshop at the same time the Slave I and Tumbler info came out. I would imagine that a Holiday set would be sold in Sept-Oct. Quote

DS, R2D2, Winter Village, Sopwith camel, X-Wing, Horizon Express and Camper Van will be next year. Quote
Pseudoty Posted August 2, 2014 Posted August 2, 2014 Mods can we please close this, not another EOL, speculation thread, or just merge it with the others.
