CNH1974 Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 A guy in the Lego store in Munich told me that they don't have anymore and no more will arrive... and in the lego online shop it's not available anymore for buying since today! My local store still have some but they said it will be the next one to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheewyy Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Hi all, FB sold out at LEGO Shop at Home for France Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZULU Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 as this set is available in all shops and lego.com, this is not EoL. Modulars are bread and butter AFOL sets, thus lego will increase the offer and add to the range. My best guess is another year for all sets (except maybe HH) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZULU Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 lego is not shipping its exclusives anymore to amazon/discount retailers. That's all. The B-Wing, he is EoL for sure. Disappeared from the official Lego.com website. That is silent kill of a line. My 2c anyways If FB woudl be EoL the better - but I think it's early to tell.

exciter1 Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 I just ordered another from LEGO S@H. Pretty cool they give you the $10 gift card, even if it's $149.99. I got the free Christmas truck and I used $50 in VIP points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not what the lego store told me yesterday. I know they are not the most reliable of sources but they said in the UK at least, some retailers, like John Lewis for example, have deals to stock some of the exclusives. But not usually in their first year of production. John Lewis had both the Fire Brigade and the VW Camper yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pins79 Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Could this be it? Really? "Call to check for availability" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legodog Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Its not the first time it has gone to "Call to check for availability" so I wouldn't get too excited just yet. It is the set that refuses to retire. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chipbee Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Its not the first time it has gone to "Call to check for availability" so I wouldn't get too excited just yet. It is the set that refuses to retire. It will be retired eventually, and probability of retirement increases exponentially with age. Retirement is a certainty in life, just like death and taxes. There are more and more indications that FB and GE will be gone within months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super26 Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Fire Brigade is officially SOLD OUT at the S&****. Glad I picked up one during the 3x VIP. Wished I got at least two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallwebber Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Yep. I just happen to see the fire brigade is Sold Out at LEGO Shop at Home USA. I passed on it due to how long its been for sale, and the amount of them hoarded by resellers. I think it will take a long time to make anything worth while on the FB. I know a Lego employee that is sitting on 105 of them! I put my $ elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOrcKing Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 I know a Lego employee that is sitting on 105 of them!Did this employee show a picture of said Fire Brigades to you or did they simply state that? Inquiring minds wish to know. :polling: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TabbyBoy Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 I expect that this LEGO employee sitting on 105 FBs will need to start mailing out his/her resume if they are found out, taking a stupid risk I think. I have 2 FBs and in no panic to buy any more. The "very much alive and kicking star" will go first probably. Think for a second... Why would LEGO discontinue a successful modular set if they are still selling 23,456,772 an hour? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alcarin Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Does not matter if they retire... they will not see growth for ages to come lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M4x18 Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Amazon.es does not let you put over 100 items in your cart at once, so, I can see that there are at least 100 FB's in stock right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TabbyBoy Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Does not matter if they retire... they will not see growth for ages to come lol If at all - LOL. I'm thinking of buying a load more for parts if I see a heavy discount as I'm going into MOCing soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallwebber Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 I have known him for a few years, and have been to his house. So, I have seen the 105 first hand. You walk into his house and lego sets are stacked from floor to ceiling. There is no dry wall to be seen! LoL! I don't even know what color his walls are!

He has been buying them every chance he gets since the FB came out, along with thousands of other sets. I just think money should have been spent elsewhere on better investments. I have given him a hard time about buying so many, and he only bought 2 of the zombies sets for example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spartikis Posted December 3, 2013 Author Share Posted December 3, 2013 Its done! Fire Brigade is sold out! http://shop.lego.com/en-US/Fire-Brigade-10197?fromListing=listing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TabbyBoy Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Its done! Fire Brigade is sold out! http://shop.lego.com/en-US/Fire-Brigade-10197?fromListing=listing "Sold Out" doesn't mean the end 100% as it may still come back to bite us on the arse. However, I'm happy to see that it's at the same price in the US as the UK allowing for exchange rates. We can compete on a set at last! ;-) BTW.. Pet Shop has an expected ship date of 19DEC so buyers may look to eBay to get one for Xmas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spener90 Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 I do believe it is finally done. Might be wrong, but the stock disappeared from Amazon last week too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chipbee Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Next will be grand emporium, which I think may be as soon as summer 2014. Lego probably reckoned that it has sold all that it wanted on FB, and it is time to refresh the modular product lineup to bring in new sales from existing fans.

asharerin Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 I believe production is done on this one. Whatever is left in the wild is it. GE has 1 more year to go according to the same folks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
