A set retired in the UK will be retired in Hungary as well. Expand Thats not true.. the retirement date between UK and the continental Europe varies.. have a look at brickset. Almost each set retires in UK on a different date than in the rest of Europe. And I remember seeing something retired in Germany but still available in Czech Rep.

Alpinemaps Posted December 1, 2017 Posted December 1, 2017 Well, what I will probably do is establish a US thread and a EU thread just to help keep things a little more organized. Since there won’t be chatter in the thread, it should be easy to subscribe to both. 2 1

Expand I think that is more like the last date the database scanned the respective website rather than the actual retirement date. I have never seen different availability of items across EU countries (barring the few sets that are not distributed in a select set of countries, like Dimensions).

Expand I think you're probably right. If you check out a set that's Sold Out or Out of Stock (but not retired), it will show up with an "on sale date" to when it was last in stock. Should the item come back in stock, or move to Retired, the date will change.

Expand No, I stand behind my argument - have a look at this thread when Val-E reported some sets as retired (in his UK shop) and we in Germany, Czech, Hungary, italy still were able to order that set because it was not retired for the continental Europe. There is truly a different between UK - and the rest of Europe. A few days cca.
Villager Chris Posted December 3, 2017 Posted December 3, 2017 (edited) I think this went on Friday in the UK and not yet posted. Neither did it appear on that German list of upcoming retirements. Edited December 3, 2017 by Villager Chris 1 1
crayxlp Posted December 4, 2017 Posted December 4, 2017 about 10 sets tagged "as retiring soon" just diisappeared (show as retired) on CZE e-shop. I was able to decipher these two now marked as retired: 41128 Friends Space Attraction 41131 Friends Advent Calendar
Villager Chris Posted December 4, 2017 Posted December 4, 2017 Quite a few retirements today. First City: 60117: Van and Caravan 60109: Fire Boat 60101 Cargo Plane 60121 Volcano Truck DC Comics 76044 Clash of the Heroes Minecraft 21132 Jungle Temple There are also 3 Friends sets, 1 Nexo and 3 Star Wars but I cannot track which. These may have been posted before, but that's what I can see after a quick look. 2
crayxlp Posted December 4, 2017 Posted December 4, 2017 60121 Volcano has been tagged as retired for like two weeks - I know that, bc I reported it here. :)
crayxlp Posted December 5, 2017 Posted December 5, 2017 41180 Elves Ragana's Magic Castle retired - for the 2nd time - on Czech e-shop 1
Roy vd M. Posted December 5, 2017 Posted December 5, 2017 Lego Technic 42054 Claas tractor has become available without limitation again, after first being limited and having been 'retired' for a few weeks. 13th of November 2017: 28th of November 2017: 5th of December 2017: @Alpinemaps these kinds of 'retreats' happen often and are arguably relevant for investors. I think it's difficult for you admins / mods to think of a handy method of showing these developments after retirement (if so desired) but perhaps you have a plan. In final I'd like to say that I really appreciate the energy you're putting in streamlining this thread and making it more user-friendly. 1
crayxlp Posted December 5, 2017 Posted December 5, 2017 Claas Xerions is back for like 10 days at least.

Expand @Roy vd M. As a courtesy to the international nature of this forum and its visitors, could you please set your region at Lego LEGO Shop at Home page to Netherlands / English instead of Nederland / Nederlands when you make screenshots ? Small effort, much appreciation ... (kleine moeite, groot plezier )
Villager Chris Posted December 6, 2017 Posted December 6, 2017 ...and City 60097. There were also 7 other retirements so far today but nothing significant I can see. 1 1
