iahawks550 Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 For resale, it makes it easier to say 'retired' when it's actually able to be confirmed by potential buyers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth_Raichu Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 (edited) Why are people anxiously awaiting these retirement status updates? Do you need confirmation of what you've been able to see with your own eyes for months now? Why do people gather together and stay up until late on December 31st ? New year falls on January 1st year after year. Edited March 11, 2015 by Darth_Raichu 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bricketycricket Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Why do people gather together and stay up until late on December 31st ? New year falls on January 1st year after year. Point taken, and I understand why people will be excited when these sets are officially marked as retired. Not sure it's worth F5ing and watching for daily though like some people seem to be doing.

mscheaf Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Why are people anxiously awaiting these retirement status updates? Do you need confirmation of what you've been able to see with your own eyes for months now? Because I am not a liar and I only put "retired" on my ebay listings if it says "retired" on the Lego site. Now I will be able to. Other than that, it doesn't really make much difference to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This all just seems moot to me since selling anytime near when the retired label is slapped onto a set seems a bit premature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mscheaf Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 (edited) I am not looking to sell HH and R2 no. But X-Wing and MF? You bet! Deloreans and Micro Worlds? Sure! And I would move 1 or maybe 2 of my TH right now for $525 shipped. That's a fantastic return. Edited March 11, 2015 by mscheaf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I wouldn't have to "lean" on the retired label. I never said I had to "lean" on it. But now I can include that in the listings and if it helps me get an extra penny it was worth it.

andredub Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Individual pages for many sold out items have no details on them as of now, so perhaps we'll see the mass retirement today. e.***., http://shop.lego.com/en-US/Grand-Emporium-10211?fromListing=listing The sold out search page has two products on it. The retired product search comes up empty. Hopefully this is the mass retirment and official confirmation we have all been waiting for. Hi, Are they updating the EOLs or is there a problem with the website. Grand Emporium does not show any longer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DFC01 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 I don't know if someone said already, but no more TMNT set available in belgium. Just 4 keychains. Lego lost the license for TMNT to Hasbro.

holleman67 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Lego lost the license for TMNT to Hasbro. We won't get TMNT from Lego for a while. Did they lose it or let the contract expire?

diablo2112 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Speaking of confirmed retirement, I predict this post and the previous page and half of threads gets "retired" from this thread, which is meant for confirmed listing from TLG of a "retired" label on an official SAH website. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninocerruti Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 (edited) Find a all TMNT sets at 50% from the movie and 30% off for some others 2013. MATTEL bought MEGA BLOKS and have the license back for TMNT and same for Bob's sponge ( all NICKELODEON license). I heard Spiderman, but I have to check this one.
