Greanie Posted July 31, 2019 Posted July 31, 2019 Apocolypseburg set is on sale, 15% off on Amazon. Started the day at 11%, then went to 14% . . .now at 15%. Seems like an indication of Amazon wanting to clear inventory? Quote
marcandre Posted July 31, 2019 Posted July 31, 2019 Destiny Bounty is making it's last stand at target (at rrp). Hoping this one takes off. 1 Quote

Hoping the Price goes down? or Hoping the Value shoots up on the aftermarket? I have a "Spare" . . .and with such an amazing looking set, no way it doesnt shoot up in value. May take a little bit for the Ninjago fans to come into some Birthday and Christmas money and come back and buy a "Retired Set" they didnt get from their "Stuck-Up" parents. LOL!! 1 Quote

Unfortunately, amazing looking sets aren't necessarily winners anymore, although pirate ships are generally solid. Quote

If target clears it I'll grab some more of course. They never seem to do that though. I have seen target sit on so many sets at rrp long after amz and wm have cleared them out. Quote
The Leveller Posted August 5, 2019 Posted August 5, 2019 The Saturn V is only still available in a few Dutch webshops. Is anyone else seeing signs that this set is going out?Sent from my SM-A520F using Brickpicker Forum mobile app Quote
chunhengpang Posted August 6, 2019 Posted August 6, 2019 The retirement date is 31 Dec 2019, so you have a few months to go. Quote
iahawks550 Posted August 6, 2019 Posted August 6, 2019 1. Stopping of production 2. Sold out at retailers 3. Official announcement from LEGO 2 and 3 may be not always be in order. Quote
Shadow29 Posted August 6, 2019 Posted August 6, 2019 (edited) Where ou see this information ? Edited August 6, 2019 by Shadow29 Quote
iahawks550 Posted August 6, 2019 Posted August 6, 2019 The LEGO website for official announcements. (Usually well after everyone knows......assumes) This site for a heads up by those in the know. Other sites for the same. 1 Quote
Shadow29 Posted August 6, 2019 Posted August 6, 2019 (edited) No, my question is for the date 21309. Where is this information? Edited August 6, 2019 by Shadow29 Quote
iahawks550 Posted August 6, 2019 Posted August 6, 2019 It's all speculative. Second year of production raises the chances greatly it will be retired at the end of the year. Quote
iriki Posted August 6, 2019 Posted August 6, 2019 What about Winter Holiday Train 10254? Released in 2016 and still no signs of retirement. Did I bet on the wrong horse ? Quote

fantomas007 Posted August 6, 2019 Posted August 6, 2019 9 minutes ago, dmind said: I guess so, the right horse was the station which retired. Let's see the prices around christmas... I am not sure that the station is retired. 1. it has too short production life - just 1 year. Although the train is on his 3rd year... 2. Its it absolutelly out of logic to retire the station before the train. For me the station was a reason to keep the train more than usual 2 years life - to allow people buying station + train together. Even if the station would bad selling numbers, its crazy to retire it just after 1 year, while there is a set fitting to it perfectly... 3. TLG often retires winter sets and that give them back in life before Xmas. Its happen for example to Winter Market - I remember buying it for 20% over RRP and then saw its resurrection next Xmas season... The only thing making me nervous is that the train and 10263 are marked as "out of stock", while the station is "retired". But again, also Winter Market was marked "retired" whole year... Quote

Train made a great standalone set before the Station was released, and will continue to do so afterwards. Edited August 6, 2019 by brickvoyeur 2 Quote

The problem is that absolute same words "retired product" was noticed for Winter Market, and then came back and was resurrected for next Xmas season... Unfortunatelly we cannot believe TLG when put "Retired" notice to a winter theme set - it doesnt always mean really retired... its a seasonal set, which they didnt hold during the year, so they "retire" it for several months... The problem is that they dont use same terminology - sometimes they notice "out of stock", sometimes "retired". Edited August 7, 2019 by fantomas007 Quote

It is done, We tend to see 2 x Winter sets live before the Autumn, one will retire this Winter as a new one will be released. My money is on 10254 going but then the station went out of sequence so not 100%. Now is the interesting time of year when we start to watch (and debate) for which sets will go this year, I’m already saving for November but this year also picking up some good summer deals too. Just wondering when does the annual riddle start?? 1 Quote
isawred Posted August 8, 2019 Posted August 8, 2019 saturn v is currently sold out/call for item availability... inventory discrepancy? seems like a set with moderate potential ? Quote
