M4x18 Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Jeez, I just went into LEGO Shop at Home US and I got scared as many of the sets that are TOOS are sets that probably will retire soon and I have none of them. That includes 10211. In EU there's no sign of them slowing down. We even have 10221 available and I couldn't find it in US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNH1974 Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Remember the same set can go EOL at different times in the US and UK. 10217 is a case in point, 6 months difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biniou Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 or winter village market EOL in europ since 2013 and not for the moment in US It's in the (german or netherland) June-December 2014 Lego catalog. Not sure if it's a mistake. We might see it back, side by side (sort of) with Santa's workshop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M4x18 Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 or winter village market EOL in europ since 2013 and not for the moment in US It should come back in October. I find it weird as it is labeled as retired. I also must say I don't remember if they marked the previos ones as retired after their first sales swing.

veecavaz Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Have you checked that the instructions are in the box? :-) I think you feel pain seeing this nightmare Yeah instructions were there. Just received my last 2 from walmart and they arrived in the original lego box. Near mint/mint condition, they should of shipped the other 2 this way. Oh well, Im happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also must say I don't remember if they marked the previos ones as retired after their first sales swing. it is indeed labeled as retired. I bought 2 of these slightly below msrp but am wary of this set. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Brickpicker mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneknightr Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Geez... I just got my GE from LEGO Shop at Home... in a creased box I think the remaining inventory are bottom of the barrel versions. When I saw the four GE's in stock at my local Lego store a month or so ago, they all had varying degrees of high wear. Needless to say, they were all gone when I went a week ago.

A creased box still brings in more profit than an imaginary one. Sent from my iPhone using Brickpicker 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comicblast Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Not sure if this has been reported by anyone else, but the expected ship date is now September 12th, 2014, up about two weeks from the previous date. Doesn't really mean anything to me, but some of you enjoy tracking this kind of info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mynatt Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Ok, so I'm thinking about getting 3, but in September they have the classic space minifigure free set with a 100$ purchase. Should I buy now or can I wait it out until September? Sent from an apple device; all misspelling are from the doing of autocorrect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you already have a mini Mini Cooper then get another and sell one, that should be ~$10 toward the GE. Not sure what would sell better, the Spaceman or the Mini.

I want to get multiple spacemen sets that I hope to sell with my exo suits but I don't want to miss the GE.

Should I buy now or can I wait it out until September? Sent from an apple device; all misspelling are from the doing of autocorrect. Buy now. No minifig promo is worth missing a modular at EOL. You can always pick up something else in September, like 10220 or 10228 (if still around), or Tower of Orthanc, which I think might surprise people by dying young (along with or slightly after the LotR theme, which dies more or less in 2014).

So I have 2 on my way from lego to begin to ship on September 28. Now if The GE is still available in September, can I cancel my previous order and get the September space minifigure? If I do this, (if they are availible) could lego cancel my order due to not enough grand emporiums? Should I do this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
