we have a retiring soon speculation thread, the actual retiring thread, but there is no "why won't this set die!!!" thread

I have 4 girls, so started early foolish time investing with the Friends line.

can I include the entire friends line as well as the princess stuff ( see DC and Cindy castle)?

I still see series 3 mixels and series 12 minifigures everywhere

the minecraft microworlds I thought would die last xmas, but the forest and end keep their never ending supply going.

besides the usual suspects (TB and DS) what haunts you?

 

I think Arctic Batman and Lex Luthor Battlesuit fit into this category pre retirement.

Eco-Suit must fit into this category now.

My vote is for the Exo Suit

Architecture wait times can be tough to stomach - White House and Brandenburg Gate need to be culled...

My list:

PS, T1, 60008 Museum Break-in, 70803 Cloud Cuckoo Palace, 70816 Benny SSS

But the most important one is 10249 Winter Toy Shop. It died but it will be resurrected. Can't it just die before it gets launched? Please?

Add WVM too, back to msrp at amazon

...from the thread title I first thought this was not about Lego sets.

Apparently it was a relatively small amount. Thank goodness

TB, PS, 10240, T1 camper, PC, DS.

if they continue resurrecting old sets, I would love a 5000+ piece MF and a Grand Carousel!

If they continue resurrecting sets you can count on TB, PS, 10240, T1 camper, PC, DS & for good measure HH, SSD, TH & GE...

well, I'm a collector first and foremost.  I joined this party very very late, so selfishly if it kills the resale market, I don't mind at all.  I just want those sets!!

Space Needle too! 

Volkswagen T1 #1 on my list.

Lego Movie stuff is dead in our market zone.....

My shelving units tell me that T1 in #1 on the list, with Tower Bridge right behind.  Until yesterday I would have said WV Market.  Death Star being the oldest living set will make it an obvious, popular choice, but since I only have a couple and will stay that way I quit worrying about what that set was doing some time ago.  10240 is another that I personally would like to see die, but it's really not THAT old yet compared to sets like Pet Shop, T1 and Tower Bridge.

Lone Ranger - silver mine shootout: still on sale everywhere & no one's buying even at 50% off.

PS, please Zeus, PS!

Any rumor of a new modular? I fear PS will stay with us into 2016...

Wow, I just checked where your location was and I'm baffled!

Capitol city eh?... everyone's baffled 'round here - I think they pump something into the air from parliament hill.

I'm sure this is redundant and most probably feel the same but I seriously honestly want the Death Star to just die. I'm tired of looking at it, tired of hearing about it, so for the love of Yoda and everything The Force, just die. Please.

DC plz

Is that Dolphin Cruiser? If so, I have a couple of those and I would also like that to go away.  It says "sold out" and I'm seeing less in the wild, but they are still out there a bit.  Not sure of potential on anything Friends and I have a few sets I wish I hadn't bought but the DC could do somewhat OK I suppose. 

Yes, and I still see them everywhere. Honestly I have seen all the princess stuff clearanced, the elf line, shopping malls, the works.....and DC sits there at MSRP

There´s been a few deaths recently but I think Pet Shop has to be the one that people have most tied up in and hasn´t gone.

I don´t count T1 as the minivan was itself in production for about 681 years so it has a way to go yet.

Yea Pet Shop please...
