April 2, 201312 yr I wouldn't go off of that, this set is still very new, the earliest I could see it going eol would be the end of this year, it will most likely be around another year.
April 28, 201411 yr So its about a year people were already thinking it was going EOL... Few bigger online stores had it on sale here, some are out now and says not available anymore. So any ideas?
April 28, 201411 yr No one knows, but my thought is its definitely the next one to go - probably when the new wave comes out later this year.
April 29, 201411 yr Still 999+ on amazon.fr It think it will be hard to have a winner for Xmas 2014, we will have to wait Xmas 2015. Unless kids want it to play with this summer ?
April 29, 201411 yr Actually it is still on the order list from LEGO. So it will run to next order list in october. At least here in Germany. Maybe not in other countries.
April 29, 201411 yr There is no commercial sense in retiring this set until the Volvo front loader is launched, otherwise you have nothing that offers the servo motor or IR kit and since the Unimog left there is no 4x4 either. Generally, flagship sets take more than 2 years to retire so I would expect this one to go between this August and Jan 2015 - it may also depend on sales of the 42009 and 42030.
