speedsausage Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 So I called my local lego store a few minutes ago and he hasn't heard anything about the SC or SSD being retired, but on that note he did say r2d2 is being retired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No More Monkeys Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Just thought I would share what I heard! Nevermind the grumpiness. Every rumor helps. We do special thread for that though - what I heard from lego employee today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedsausage Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Ahh true. I posted here though because I was inquiring about the sopwith originally. Ill do a copy and paste into that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TabbyBoy Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 WW1 started on this date exactly 100 years ago so, why would Lego retire the Sopwith Camel with this fresh in our minds? 11NOV 1918 was when the war ended so could this set EOL on 11NOV 2018? Well, wasn't that a lot of useless information? ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newbie77 Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 my opinion. still has some time .. but who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trekgate502 Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 I think this is Sopwith going EOL. Target, Walmart and Amazon are gone. Toys R Us has them at $124.99 LEGO Shop at Home is limit 2 with a ship date of mid September. Looks similar to the SSD last order window at LEGO Shop at Home. I just got 2 more from LEGO Shop at Home backordered. If they still offer backorders on September 1st I will cancel these and order 2 more with the Spaceman.

inversion Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 It makes sense that it is being retired. LEGO can't possibly keep up without retiring some exclusives because I think there are just too many in production right now and many new ones are coming. As much as they want to stop speculation and hoarding they can't escape eventual EOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 I hope so. I have a good amount, almost double digits now. If there are more signs I will probably double my inventory of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
