I remember last year, there were several retiring lists till November, and no one was accurate. that's just plain not true. Looked back and last year everything was set by mid august... 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking that your list was pretty accurate, and was hoping you'd set the record straight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmaslıefendi Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 What's raven's list? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brystheguy Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 I'm really hoping to get Ninjago City on sale. I really need that set but don't want to pay full price. Do these typically go on sale as they fade out or should I get my set at Target and take my big 5% discount? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iahawks550 Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 There will most likely be a short time frame of decent discounts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got my information from: LEGO Customer Service, a trustworthy guy who has worked with LEGO for 10 years, famous german LEGO blogs like Stonewars or Brickstory 10243 Parisian Restaurant 10254 WHT 21309 Apollo 70620 NC 21313 SIAB 76105 Hulkbuster 21314 TL 75181 Y-Wing 21311 Voltron 75222 CC 21315 Pop Up Book 80103 (already gone!) Maybe: 71040 Disney Castle The castle was marked to retire in July this year, but they changed it. No specific date given. Could retire this winter, I doubt it though. Many other sets I listed are unlikely to retire in my opinion, like the Saturn V, but that's what !all! my sources told me! I can confirm the list you've got is correct, except for 71040 which is currently scheduled to retire on 31 Dec 2020. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also mentioned the short Y-Wing lifespan back then. some good riddles in there, almost magical... Sadly few of them got tagged retired and still are available today so not sure it really matters much anymore. Same with some of the smaller sets that I didn't post about. Unfortunately production is down to a science now and batches went very late last year and almost hit the market immediately unlike in years past where they would take a few weeks to hit. If you follow it enough you can tell when they are getting replenished just by the big sites going oos briefly. In the past you had a window of opportunity there. Now that next batch can hit a week later. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yellow Castle Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Is CC really retiring so soon, such a poor seller? It looks better than AoH but then that not difficult. How about Taj Mahal, is that a short re-release or in for the long run? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t_mafia Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Strange that none of these lists include Carousel and/or Assembly Square. I had heard these were both done but maybe it is just Parisian? And with the next fairground not due until “supposedly” until next summer perhaps Carousel makes it til then. All guesses of course and I am remarkably bad about guessing which will retire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All guesses of course and I am remarkably bad about guessing which will retire I don't actually think anyone here really knows what will happen in the next 5-6 months. Certain sets will retire as expected, a few will probably surprisingly disappear, and others will stick around. Happens every year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eliminator Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 (edited) I'm holding off buying an Assembly Square (for my personal build collection). Has only been marked down once in Canada since release....TRU 50% off last Christmas. Just want it to retire so I can get it for at least 20% off.
