Nick83 Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 I don’t understand the difference between Sold-out and Retired ? It appears as Retired on French store but Sold-Out on US store. http://shop.lego.com/en-FR/Imperial-Star-Destroyer-75055 http://shop.lego.com/en-US/Imperial-Star-Destroyer-75055 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some products have quite a large variation (several months of availability) while some move from sold out to retired at pretty much the same time. I don't know if anyone understands the exact reasons why. I don't even know if the head of TLG knows everything about every set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This affects a number of things such as stock levels, dates that promotions occur, and product retirement dates. In this case, the 75055 has officially retired in Europe, and people are heavily speculating/hoping that the current Sold Out status on the US/Can website leads to the retirement in North America; finalizing the End of Life (EoL) term thrown around here so often.

No More Monkeys Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 (edited) Wasn't JW Raptor Escape "retired" in Europe? As in actually having the page say "retired"? I don't think there is any credibility to "retired" status anymore, at least for Europe From the other hand, RE does say retired in Europe again...

As lego increases the amount of sets on a yearly basis, maybe there will be some rare sets and themes here and there. I dont see that as a shock, to be honest. Many other toy lines do similar things.

We have 2xVIP day coming up, a black friday and cyber monday swarm, and a holiday season. Those two sets won't be around much longer, I suspect.

JeffProbst Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 This probably means very little as it's a seasonal set which is refreshed yearly but anyway http://shop.lego.com/en-AU/LEGO-Star-Wars-Advent-Calendar-75097 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah you say that but it was available at Asda in the UK last week, it sold out in 24-48 hours but there's a chance more stock will filter through.
