KidMikey2 Posted September 8, 2015 Posted September 8, 2015 Lego SAH Germany does have this listed as a retired product. Sold out on US SAH. Maybe its finally time. 1 Quote
dcdfan Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 Well, Target & Amazon put this back to full sale so this one could be with us forever... 1 Quote

cladner Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 (edited) walmart and other availability post EOL just speaks to your point that this thing is going to be around for e v e r r r r Edited October 13, 2015 by cladner 1 Quote
dcdfan Posted October 14, 2015 Posted October 14, 2015 I guess Amazon must've read our comments yesterday. But I'm surprised that Walmart & Target haven't matched yet... Quote

It's going to happen eventually. Watching the rise and fall of the exo has been interesting to say the least. Quote

cladner Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 as a build its a cool set. i wish i had my own real life exo suit. as an investment, time will tell. the rampant availability of a product that for all practical purposes is retired in a post-brickpicker LEGO is gold environment at a discounted price speaks to the set's intrinsic demand. seeing a large shelf full marked down 20% at a lego store at a very busy shopping mall 3 months after it sold out online is a bit discouraging. Walmart , amazon = still in stock also less than MSRP. i have 40 accumulated during the initial hype phase so believe me - i hope it does well. 1 Quote

Alpinemaps Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 (edited) I think all threads should be looked out down the line, to see if we can glean anything from them It's a little unfair to single out Jeff's comment though. In July 2014, it looked like this set was going to go the way of other Ideas sets - one and done. Little did we realize at the time that the quick sell out of both this and RI would result in a huge second and/or third runs that would keep these in stock far longer than we ever expected it to be. This one surprised us as much as it did LEGO. Edited November 24, 2015 by Alpinemaps Quote
jaisonline Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 $26 is a great price. It's one nice little set and not one Ideas / CUUSOO set had been a dud yet after retirement. Lego just produced too many prob based on initial demand thanks to the reseller scum (nod to SW rebel scum reference ) skewing buyer demand. Quote

montreid Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 RI stable and will probably rise this xmas again with sales picking up this week already; Exo will rise after stock sells out and nearing that time finally after a HUGE 2nd run. Quote
