Finally, a new Batman set that doesn't look like a downgrade of the earlier sets - 1,619 pieces! '' target='_blank'>>

I admit, I am bummed about this. I was really hoping the AA would last until after the holiday season. I was planning on loading up heavy on these.

Just picked up my first AA!

At the end of the day, both R2 and Arkham are iconic. I don't think we'll see another Arkham for awhile. I won't hit Ed's numbers, but I will make sure I hit my target on this set.

Yeah but Ed doesn't have 2,368 mixels and percentage wise those things will beat AA and R2 for awhile!

AA sold out at Target.com, at the inflated $223.99 price.  Yikes!

Solt Out in Europe too!

Im a little disappointed that the hoard didn't clear out LEGO Shop at Home with double VIP

I think it won't make it through next weekend.

A few days ago these were selling at MSRP on ebay. Now moved up to ~$175-$180. Hmm.

I am happy I am near my target with this set. Wanted 5, have 4 now. I really like it and think it will do above expectation after retirement.

That is MSRP

*edit* sorry not msrp but close.

That is MSRP

 

$159.95 msrp

 

Dec 14 puts this right at two years. I'm not convinced it's going but I already have quite a few. I certainly would not mind if it does poof.

Yeah that's my bad.....it's been so long since I've bought any.

it's a great set and build.  wish i would have done a review thread on it.  be sure to pick one up to build.

Over on Reddit, they are reporting that AA is Retired on LEGO Shop at Home UK.  I can't seem to show it as Retired, can anyone else confirm?

 

Interestingly enough, Brickset is showing it as retired as of 21 Nov for UK only.

Looks like it is done. Dunno about the US offcourse.

It shows as Sold Out for me when I look at the UK site.  But, probably a precursor to retirement.

 

I think the Brickset database automatically lists the dates when it was not in Sold Out status. 

I haven't seen any in my Lego store for months and they aren't sure if they will get more. But they still have that display up. I made sure to get a couple from LEGO Shop at Home during double VIP since I had never bought these from Lego yet, the other 4 I have being from various other sources

My Lego store took down the display, said they aren't getting anymore in.  Kind of surprised, I figured it would be around until the summer at least.  It will be very interesting if this does go away right now, makes me wonder if Lego is going to a 2 year product lifecycle on exclusives.  I can't imagine they would pull this set because of poor performance.

Well, there is a rumor that chaos is coming... or winter... anyway "expected product lifecycle" will be outdated concept, according to certain hints

I could see them pulling it once the tumbler production catches up. One big batman set is probably enough.

Just got the email mine shipped from Lego SAH

stockpiled mine up to what I wanted.  Now I can sit and wait.

Care to expand on this or point me to the hints?

Half of the Townhall thread

Brickset shows the last availibility on LEGO Shop at Home (the day it became "sold out"), not the "retirement date" of the set.

If the AA comes back in the UK, it will change again into "now".
