trekgate502 Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 I called lots of stores looking for Grand Emporiums. Had person after person tell me they are out. One store I called the person said he expected to get more back in as he thinks the Pet Shop is going to retire before the Grand Emporium. Interesting. Hope he is wrong and that I don't have a stack of the not to retire Grand Emporium's, while the Pet Shop goes away first. Guess I should buy some of them as a safety buffer too. Would rather wait.

First rule of lego investing...never let what a lego store employee tells you influence your buying decisions. They don't know any more about eol than you or I do. For all you know, this store was probably sitting on a pile of pet shops and he told you that hoping to move a few of them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know not to trust any of it. But I think I have sen it mentioned a few times on this thread or brick picker as to if it could be a stealth move by Lego to do such as he said. I am 95% confident the GE will go first based on the timing excel chart, stock and other things and 90% sure it will go this year. But wow what a mess up it could be (short term only) if they did make a move like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, when the entire population of Lego store employees is included, they do know more than we do. The problem is that the word of any one particular employee cannot be trusted 100%. On average, I think the opinion of a random employee should be given about +25% on the WOBLES (Wray's Official Believability of Lego EOL Scale 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedsausage Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 So guessing the store managers don't put in any kind of set requests? They just get what TLG sends them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mos_Eisley Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 So I'm guessing the store managers don't put in any kind of set requests? They just get what TLG sends them? This is correct. So anytime you see someone posting that a store manager said that "they can't order set xxxx anymore", either the poster or the manager doesn't know what they're talking about. Probably both. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So anytime you see someone posting that a store manager said that "they can't order set xxxx anymore", either the poster or the manager doesn't know what they're talking about. Probably both. I`d add to that that Lego stores are not like independent stores or franchises, they have virtually no control over what comes in and out of their store, certain things (perhaps PAB parts for example) may have some baring on the manager`s decision to order more or not, but that`s very unlikely. It`s like Starbucks (Latte anyone?), Lego stores just sell the product determined by the higher ups, and they obviously base that product on the brand and their desire to make money. Anyone who says otherwise is quite frankly either misinformed or just B*******ing you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
