Miami Bomb Squad Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 If I wait long enough, someone always posts what I wanted to say but more eloquently. Thanks for that. At some point older sets--while still selling--just don't bring the volume of sales that something new would. Consumer fatigue, investor fatigue... it's like saying "The Sorcerer's Stone was a great book and sold well, so why did JK Rowling write six more?" Because consumers--especially fans--expect something new. A new book to read, a new set to build... books and Lego sets are different, sure, but the analogy is there That was pretty eloquent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S.African.AFOL Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Well keep scooping them up and we will see I guess.It's already marked as retired everywhere except in the US. The quick sellout points more to the fact that its a very small restock rather than to it being super popular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 OK, good luck. I feel like this eol conversation has been going on for over a year on this set. So I guess eventually someone will be right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
