Is that the latest date code on those?   Noticed at SAH they put the Lord of the Rings theme back up.

I think the reason that listing is back up is because they added a whole bunch of lego dimension pieces for LOTR. 

Yeah,  at first they didn't have the dimentions listed in it, just ToO, now since the debut of dimentions they added them to it.

Hi, I can't see T1 Camper Van 10220 on Lego SaH page. Is it mistake or really retiring process?

For some reason it's not attached to the creator link, which would probably give it more sales.  But, if you type in t1 van it shows up.

The boss of my local lego store in Singapore has also told me that the Tumbler is going to be EOL soon, along with the Helicarrier and Pet shop.

He usually drops by every tuesday morning when its restock day. I was there buying a few modulars off him, so we chatted for a bit.

Palace cinema, vw camper, simpsons house are all continuing into 2016.

he said the info was by looking at his list of orderables for the next few months. Didnt see that tumbler or helicarrier could be ordered anymore. 

He even slapped "retiring soon" signs on the tumbler and helicarrier stocks in the store.

As always, take it with a grain of salt

i was very skeptical at first. Helicarrier only just released this year!

People have been proclaiming the Tumbler was retiring since its release & some reasons didn't sound so strange. Helicarrier just sounds bizarre...

well he did tell me alot of people would be caught off guard with helicarrier. If he's wrong, i will never trust him again

Do you have any info he's previously revealed that's come to fruition?

It was my first in depth chat with him. This was about 1 month back actually. 2 weeks prior to talking to him, I actually saw the "retiring soon" tag slapped on a helicarrier at one of his other outlets. At that point of time, I was very skeptical because how can the Helicarrier be retired when it just came out less than 6 months ago?? 

But he confirmed it to me when I had the chat with him, as well as Tumbler and PS. 

Earlier this year, he had Tower of Orthanc with "retiring soon" tag slapped on it as well and that really came true. So that's the only previous experience I had with him.

I'm not sure. I didn't ask about those as I'm not too interested in those sets, lol. 

I'm heading down to the store tomorrow though. Will see if he's there and ask him. Tomorrow is restock day. Hopefully some nice items come in. 

And DS, 10240, 75054 and 75055. These are the sets to watch out for in coming weeks apart from normal exclusives.

Alright you guys. Took a walk down to the store and snapped a few pics.

as you can see, the owner has slapped "outgoing set" signs on Helicarrier, Tumbler and Tower bridge"

 

Wow. Helicarrier going eol after 7 months. Can't believe it. Guess I should go buy 10 today.

and the SW stuff?

Are those stickers? 'cause I would be livid...

No outgoing tags on the sw stuff. There were ucs slave 1, tie fighter and sandcrawler in the shop. Loads on vw camper van.

he better not be bluffing man. Could it be he's trying to move his big money items faster by slapping those tags on them?

Out going set= please take these items off my hands now so I can use the shelf space for more Star Wars.

nah, probably post it notes 

Yup. My store told me a year ago that PS was "retiring soon." I'm not sure we have the same definition of "soon"..

He was previously right for Horizon express and tower of orthanc. Before these, i wouldn't know. I only started buying from him early this year

So just to be sure, did they have 10240 and 10188in stock or not?

Oldest trick in the book is increase demand through perceived scarcity.

none of them. He used to get DS but all gone now. Never ever seen him get Red fives. They may get sweeped on restock day. Who knows.

i'm heading down tomorrow to take a look

Which VW Camper Van? The old box or new box?

Thanks for the info.

Other than TOO ( which was predictable because the license ended), was he right before on other sets such as R2D2, Haunted House, and especially Town Hall?

 

Edit: saw your reply after posting this.
