Maybe it's stuck.

Hopefully. Haven't even started with that set.

I bought one pet shop a couple months ago.  I might get one more before it retires.  I have a feeling it might retired before Christmas this year 2015.  What you guys think..?

Did you read the poll @ the start of the thread?

I think it will retire once they stop making it.

I bought 2 of these today from a liquidator store for $90 each. The boxes are a little beat up. I can't tell if the seals have just been stretched or if there may have been tampering. Can anyone verify the weight. I got 2845 grams. I figured grams would be more exact than ounces.

google is your friend

Ok, so what you're saying is that according to Bricklink, both of the ones I got are slightly heavier. I guess I should rephrase my question, can someone verify the weight of a current release of this set, since the initial release was 4 years ago and the seal codes on mine are 27R5. Or is the variation of 25g small enough that you would not be concerned?

I wouldn't be concerned about 25g. Moisture alone can make that difference for a large box.

[stephen_rockefeller]

All large sets have extra pieces. That is where the discrepancy is.

[thoroakenfelder]

On the other hand, Amazon lists the weight at 6.4 lbs which would make it about 6lb 6oz, and I only had 6lb 4oz. a 2 oz discrepancy is pretty big when it comes to pieces as small as LEGO. I am more than willing to believe in a discrepancy on Amazon's part, but this was kind of why I was asking for some kind of independent verification.

The Pet Shop is on its ninth life. If you want any I would move now. It is the just months away from being the longest running modular.

Can you tell me where you got those dates?  I've got a retired set list that I would like to include the dates of release and retirement, but can't find reputable numbers.  I would be happy with the month and year.  To have the day would be fantastic!  Thanks!

I have no good answer, sorry. I got these values from monitoring availability myself.

Amazon - only 9 left in stock (more on the way).
