AirborneAFOL Posted January 22, 2017 Posted January 22, 2017 Should be done this year, final quarter.I'm not inclined to pick up ANYTHING from LEGO Shop at Home given the lousy promos. I'm hoping PC sticks around at least until a nice promo bonanza... Quote
Shewie Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 Purchased today Palace Cinema as my stocking project before retirement. This purchase left me little surprised because the manufacturer code on this one is 45S6. How to interpretate it? are close to the end of the lifespan? Just before PS retirement we got the same codes. Thoughts? Quote

So the fact that the seal code on PC is the same as the last seal code seen on PS which retired does not mean anything. Niente, Nada, Nic :). Of course conspiracy theorists find a correlation in anything so speculate as much as you want ..... 2 Quote
Cheese Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 Palace cinema will be around till the end of the year. It's a good seller because of hoarding by the masses, hence won't retire unexpectedly out of the normal retirement window of year end. Last time a modular retired unexpectedly was town hall mainly because it was a poor seller. Modulars aren't the slam dunks they used to be and given cost and space that they take up, slow capital growth, along with the cost to post them. 1 Quote

Guest TabbyBoy Posted July 26, 2017 Posted July 26, 2017 Be careful when buying these as PS performance has been dismal. Quote

PS performance seems to be mainly down to oversupply. With over 40 bnib BIN listings on EBay in UK alone there's just too.many people holding these and plenty ready to cash out for minimal profit. I think lots of people will get burned this year and not pick up modulars again. So I expect PC to be less popular amongst the post retirement qf crew. Edited July 26, 2017 by Fenix_2k1 Quote
Val-E Posted July 26, 2017 Posted July 26, 2017 I guess its performance will be more similar to that of PS than to GE or FB. The modular range needs a surprise, out-of-order retirement to breathe life back into it. When you know a set is going for sure with months of warning and you can still find them, often at a lower price than those who started hoarding them 4 years ago, it makes sense just to sit and wait. @Fenix_2k1 might be right about people getting burnt and not buying more modulars, I´ve only picked up one modular since early 2015 and that was because it was half price. If they were to retire Detective Office, I´d have none. Quote

hockeyweasel Posted July 26, 2017 Posted July 26, 2017 When we used to read too much into order limits, we'd point out that on US SAH, Palace Cinema is limit 2; Parisian Restaurant is limit 2; Detective's Office is limit 5; Brick Bank is limit 5; and Assembly Square is limit 2. Therefore, we should all panic and buy Assembly Square. Quote
WCH Posted July 26, 2017 Posted July 26, 2017 (edited) They never retire sets like they use to within 2 years range or suddenly retired. As Val-E as pointed out, I also haven't been buying modular or many exclusives since 2015. Edited July 26, 2017 by WCH Quote

I've still got some and will gladly accept RRP for them from UK buyers only.... sorry, I don't ship anything worth >£50 overseas. I never thought that a modular would ever be an investment turkey... I was wrong. It leaves little hope for those that remain. Edited July 26, 2017 by TabbyBoy Quote
SageFly Posted September 7, 2017 Posted September 7, 2017 Lego made an announcement on Facebook today that this set will be retiring soon. Nothing showing on LEGO Shop at Home yet, but likely going by year end. Quote
