Ciglione Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 The QFLL that got those last 8k Wall E´s will be a millionaire by January.Those just went to retailers. To me... that is the only logic explanation. Quote
Val-E Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 Or they were withdrawn to be modified and repacked.....I´m thinking that the PS´s and TB´s have also been pulled to sell to retail to fulfil prior orders and that both are done. We´ll see, Quote

We´ll see,I called a local ToysXL yesterday to ask if they still have the PS. Few weeks ago I visited them to buy an AT-AT on sale and that time they still had a few PS on the shelves. Not anymore. They don't have the PS any more and no more restock either. Quote

JM123 Posted October 17, 2015 Posted October 17, 2015 (edited) I think 10218 PS is going nowhere. Lego is playing a game and will make a statement by retiring something soon nobody expected. In the future, you will need to stock every stock after 1 year of release because you don't know what is going EOL. This is combination with the fact that stock updates (sold out, call to check product availability, TOOS) are not saying much anymore (i.e. at the moment 10240 X-Wing) then I come to the conclusion that you got to be pretty wealthy to stock up many many exclusives, or you just focus on a theme like modulars or SW and be patient.It's just speculation from my side, what I think will happen. You can just have other opinions of course. Edited October 17, 2015 by JM123 Quote

PS may go or it may stay (I think it is going), but it won't be because TLG wanted to make a statement to one of the smallest slices of its consumer base (i.e., resellers). 5 Quote

There are plenty of ways for LEGO to give the proverbial middle finger to resellers, retiring something randomly without reason can't be high on that list. Quote

With the new Modular on the way, one is probably going. Only question is which one. 1 Quote

ED-209 Posted October 17, 2015 Posted October 17, 2015 Either PS or PC is most likely going to go. It's hard to tell. Has anyone confirmed PS box redesign? Quote

Crustybeaver Posted October 17, 2015 Posted October 17, 2015 I suspect he was referring to the US site? Quote
Val-E Posted October 17, 2015 Posted October 17, 2015 I suspect he was referring to the US site?Yup, it´s the US site that sets the trend for retirements at this time of the year. PS is available there but DO and PR are back ordered. Quote
Ciglione Posted October 17, 2015 Posted October 17, 2015 Was it ever so covered in myst which modular will retire? Stephen King... eat your heart out. Quote
Val-E Posted October 17, 2015 Posted October 17, 2015 I´d need a pretty good reason not to think it was PS.... Quote
