Christ, TOOS it is too. Will this thing never retire?

Soon.

[Val-E]

Due to unprecedented demand we are pleased to anounce we will continue to make 10218 after the Christmas campaign. Please check back in January.

At this point does it really matter if it retires now or early next year for this set?

Is Daphne hotter than Velma? Way better to have the pre xmas window to flip some than wait another full year.

Can we call that the Manatee Effect in honor of the Sea Cow's performance last year?  Or perhaps the Mermaid Effect...

[Val-E]

I´d call it common sense. Why would anyone give up an extra opportunity to sell when there is most demand? It´s sketchy enough whether this set will experience a post EOL bump so anything to shorten the odds helps.

[GhostDad]

Say what you will, but I'm pretty psyched about Pet Shop retiring.  I have so many plans for that 12 square feet of primo floor space.  It's like discovering a whole new secret room in your house.  Ok, more like a secret closet.  Still, I can't wait 'till the end of 2018 when I have these all sold off, have finally broken even on a 2014-15 investment, and can finally see the actual floorboards again...

You´ll have a nice two tone floor to look forward to, rather like a pro cyclist´s arm.

I'm not saying it isn't a good plan.  I'm sure there are people with stacks of Sea Cows who are upset they didn't sell last year.  I'm just having a little fun in spite of all this European negativity today ?

Are you talking about Pet Shop or Detective's Office? 

[Val-E]

He´s talking about his floor.

Received today from LEGO Shop at Home a Pet Shop with 42S6 seal.

The very last production, I think

There's some good news here.  Some of those boxes are clearly too small for Pet Shops.  I'm thinking they're a combination of Ecto-1's, Pirates Chess sets, and a last shipment of Funhouse Escapes someone found in the janitor's closet.

No... the shipping boxes are smaller cause inside are the PS's with the new, smaller and more efficient boxes. So it is easier to send them to Smyth in the UK for example.

This is the  95% scale model that will be launched in 2017 to fit Assembly Square base plate.

Looks like what Boris said "Were going to make a Titanic sucess of Brexit"

[GhostDad]

Brexit is going to be awesome.  Some actual democracy happens, and the elites all freak out.  "What the hell?  Who let the people vote on something that was actually affecting their lives?!  Obviously the UK benefits from unlimited EU immigration that it's treaty-bound to accept, especially with the EU's currently wide open borders!"  I'd say that watching those votes come in on CNN reminded me of Braveheart, except all the Scots voted to Bremain.  I pity the poor ghost of William Wallace.

Obviously you don't know what you talking about.
