every retailer has delorean now , the 3 months was lifted July 1 . so having said that. bought mine off Amazon (they ship the nicer sets in the lego shipping boxes , better than walmart , target , etc) and on that note , i got my delorean just now from Amazon and as i predicted , in an amazon box , and within that box , a lego shipping box , and within that box.. set 10300 in mint condition

Jurassic Park Gate, Disney Trains, and 1989 Batmobile are fresh in my mind as "sudden"...no wonder they are all around x2 RRP already. (I have to kick myself for not getting an extra Jurassic Gate...I literally had the 2nd box on the counter at the LEGO store and then change my mind thinking it wasn't a popular set)

In recent memory the last time there was a decent deal on big sets just prior to retirement was carousel. Last year there was a mad scramble for Disney trains. Discounts for big sets on SAH have been rare since covid started with the increased demand.

Treehouse is top contender for sure. Hagrids Hut, San Francisco, Dubai, Corvette, Baronyx & Bowers Castle still available at amazon really throws a curveball... You can be right with your entry price, right at picking a winning set, right in trusting the retiring list, and still not make money on the investment because amazon stockpiled 7 bajillion of your set you thought was a sure fire winner for the next 5 years post retirement. I really wish there was a way to see how many amazon has in stock for something beyond the limit 20. Keepa is worthless for this particular data point.
