Guest TabbyBoy Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 (edited) It seems like the 10218 Pet Shop and 10234 Sydney Opera House is about to be resurrected. LEGO UK now show them as "Temporarily out of stock" which tells they're coming back. Maybe a glitch or retailers returning unsold stock for one last push but, I'll put nothing past LEGO these days. This WILL burst the bubble for sure! Edited December 6, 2016 by TabbyBoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think a product getting the "retired product" tag and then going back to toos or c2c is that common. So I don't see the need for another thread (unless this becomes more common). Just use this thread for posting updates about products that do happen to come back in stock after receiving a "retired product" tag. Use the bubble thread if you want to discuss how this is related to the downfall of Lego resellers / the apocalypse. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough but, bringing back the 2 most significant "retirees" is a huge concern. I just hope it's selling off excess retailer stock that's been returned. Let's hope we don't see seal code 49S6 unless it's a reseal for an inspected return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've got a good point, but we're trying to keep the chatter down in this thread to just retirements (or, in this case, unretirements). You can always bring up the implications of unretirements in the bubble thread. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenix_2k1 Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 This will be qfll's returning imperfect boxes or realising that they weren't going to jump by £100 before xmas. these sets are still done. it's just the dance.they'll go from toos to sold out when returned sets go back out of the warehouse, prob tomorrow, then retired state will return.

Let's hope so otherwise there'll be some returns before the 30 days are up. If others sets also join these, time for the bubble thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be a... dare I say... TURD. And I have plenty. They can't all be winners Check out the last lego space shuttle. I bought a bunch at RRP ($30) shortly after retirement and sold at $75. Peeps love their space shuttles. It's just that resellers are traumatized after the past year and avoiding stuff they would have snatched up in bulk last year. This is a good thing (for those who do buy). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandyHand Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 (edited) Just noticed, but 60095 Deep Sea Exploration Vessel has retired overnight (yesterday it was still available!). Set is (temporarily) not visible on the English language LEGO Shop at Home sites. (Dutch "Product uit de handel" means Retired) And I noticed that the Friends set 41095 Emma's House has also retired overnight: Edited December 7, 2016 by Haay 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think any retired set has some chance of reappearing until 90 day return window closes. And who is the most likely group of people to return exclusives........? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This set at a 50% discount would've been an instant winner IHMO. C'mon IDEAS sets, you're next! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
