Leicamarc Posted September 9, 2013 Posted September 9, 2013 Maybe he can't order anymore in 2012 ( for some or all of the sets you mentioned) since 2013 resell orders were already done? Can you ask him about 2014 ordering of these same sets? Asking him as we speak Quote
Leicamarc Posted September 9, 2013 Posted September 9, 2013 Asking him as we speak B-Wing definitely gone. SSD he didn't really ask. But Death Star and Fire Brigade weren't available for order in 2014. But: if TLG still decides to make more of em.. who knows ;-) Quote

bmw328i2008 Posted September 13, 2013 Posted September 13, 2013 Contacted my local lego store in Delaware today and found out that when i asked about the fire brigade the employee stated that they no longer carry that item. They do still carry the Tower Bridge. Could it be that it will be retired soon rather than later. Discuss? Quote

bmw328i2008 Posted September 13, 2013 Posted September 13, 2013 im just stating that it probably will happen by november. that is all Quote

The Lego stores had the "Retiring Soon" tags peppered under the Fire Brigade for the past few weeks along with the City Garage and I believe the mini-modular as well. Quote
bmw328i2008 Posted September 13, 2013 Posted September 13, 2013 its not under the LEGO Shop at Home site though Quote
lowillsw Posted September 13, 2013 Posted September 13, 2013 its not under the LEGO Shop at Home site though That is what I saw in the 4 stores in my area. I'm not familiar with the policies TLG on how they place display tags in store and their website. Exercise your own judgement. Quote
Ed Mack Posted September 13, 2013 Posted September 13, 2013 The Haunted House will not retire for at least until December 2014, I know for a fact that it is still in full production, same goes for all the other modulars available, except fire brigade. Do you work for LEGO? Quote
DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted September 13, 2013 Posted September 13, 2013 Do you work for LEGO? Thats what I was wondering. I don't think anybody knows stuff like that for a fact. Quote
StompingFreak Posted September 13, 2013 Posted September 13, 2013 Played posting this information. Dam those Death Stars. I have two of them still in the packing boxes. Stomping Quote

Guest TabbyBoy Posted September 14, 2013 Posted September 14, 2013 The wife of one of my cycling buddies works in Legoland, Windsor UK. It appears that they sign some sort of "Official Secrets Act" as I've pumped her for information and she always says, "I'll be fired if any of this gets back so, I just can't tell you - sorry". I'd rather that response instead of being fed a pile of speculative Bovine Scatology. Regarding rumours of what's going EOL, I'm not believing anyone until it actually happens. If someone on here did know (I bet someone does) what was about to go EOL, I'd expect them to protect their investment (and their TLG job) and not say a word until they've filled their boots, it's sold out and common knowledge. Back to the subject... These 3 items are still widely available in vast quantities (in the UK anyway) so, I'm not taking the bait just yet. However, cheap TBs at Amazon Italy are very tempting. Quote
kenaijoe Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 Tower Bridge is back in stock at walmart.com Quote
Guest TabbyBoy Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 Stocks seem to be dwindling on Amazon in Europe, at least for now. Italy no longer has them cheap. Can't wait as my dozen are taking up a lot of space! Quote
jeff_14 Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 I just need them to last until October for double VIP points. Here in Canada these sets are not available in any TRU, Target or Walmart I have seen in Toronto. Some appear on the websites but are never on sale. Quote
jaisonline Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 Tower Bridge is back in stock at walmart.com My gut tells me this set will be available throughout most of 2014 (if not all). I stopped at 2 sets which I was luckily enough to be on the cheap (under $195 each). Hope I am wrong. 1 Quote
M4x18 Posted September 16, 2013 Author Posted September 16, 2013 FB and GE have been gone-ish from Amazon ES for the last week or so. As for the TB, it's not currently available from Amazon ES. Quote
