$20 on joe vs dan Posted October 11, 2019 Posted October 11, 2019 On 10/11/2019 at 5:31 PM, Val-E said: One thing to remember s sets like RE were store exclusives and they only tend to produce specific number - in fact usually an over production for TRU. Retiring HH before Halloween, TH out of turn, Dragon Sanctuary after 6 months when you needed the sanctuary to put all the dragons from the other set are some recent illogical ones that spring to mind. Brickheadz were a law unto themselves with Skellington practically retiring on release and Mickey and Minnie constantly OOS. The Harry Potter train is neither a D2C nor a poor seller so I am pretty sure it won´t retire this year. It´s an excellent price point as a Xmas gift and won´t be a typical instant remake/rehash Falcon hatchet job. Expand I remember the Hogwarts train being OOS last year this time (had a friend in LA get one of the last one at the last Target in CA)..ended up being restocked and everwhere come Dec tho. Quote

Expand Just checked ebay and I see bidding and selling up to $130! Checks LEGO.com, sees $59.99, OUT OF STOCK. I had NO IDEA that people were making money of off this. Why is this such a big deal?

House Schubert Posted October 18, 2019 Posted October 18, 2019 70840 Apocolypseburg is $266 on amz. I know some of you see it leaving us soon. It seems that there has been more action earlier in the year on retiring sets in previous years... thoughts? Quote
