  1. 1. When will 10218 Pet Shop become permanently unavailable at retail?



Recommended Posts

I heard an interesting conversation on radio

 

Pet Shop this is Red 5 over

 

My navigation system is malfunctioning

 

I am going to have a hard landing and I am headed straight for your location

 

Please evacuate all Pets

 

I want to save all the animals but I am afraid that the Pet Shop and my ship will be going down in flames

 

I will eject shortly before impact wish me luck

 

Over

 

Then there was static

In all seriousness I do not see the California port strike effecting Lego delivery

Lego has 3 main build plants in Denmark, Czech Republic and Mexico

Mexico would come by truck

Denmark and Czech Republic would be by ship and those should hit the East Coast

 

I think Pet Shop will be gone by March and Red 5 by June

I just called Lego about my order status on PS and the told me it was in warehouse now. Off course i asked if this set is going out, she looked in her computer and saw that it would be available until the END OF 2016!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whatever happens it will be interesting to see how long this will stay. For me i just buy the amount i want and wait what will happen.

I don't know what she saw but I doubt she has more information than any of us here. She is just a clerk meanwhile retirement is most likely an upper-mid management decision. Also publishing this to the lower level employees could result in heavy internal trading and speculation and no sane company wants that.

Even the Town Hall is not yet retired.  Selling before "Retired Product" is throwing money away.  I backordered another 5x 10218 during 2xVIP this week.  I think this is the "Dark Horse" modular that a lot of you will miss out on.  It's my personal favourite.

 Wanted to delay it but I decided that I want that Valentine's day set. So I added a Pet Shop to get free shipping.

 

I've backordered 20x (the limit) Valentine Sets!  I hope to sell for 3x in 2016 as they won't arrive in time for this year.  I have one already for the lady though.

hard to say. i was in the huge lego store in manhattan yesterday. they seemed to have lots of new stock on everything. one thing missing...Pet Shop. Now maybe they'll get more but seemed odd they had everything else.

The reason they have a lot seems to be that their pricing is above msrp and the 9%? tax in the city. I didn't touch the AA quite a few weeks back since the prices on ebay at the time means that I will lose money after fees.

well yeah, it's manhattan and prices are higher.  i only buy sets on sale there, but that doesn't mean others don't pay the higher price, because they do.  the foot traffic through that store is incredible all day long and it's not locals for the most part buying so that's why they can charge those prices.
