ravel Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 What do you think about such a set sold in Russia, certified store? Name: Gift Box, price: 66 euros, contents: 40378, 40425, 40274, 850150, 30541, 30576, 40370, 40410 + stickers. If you buy two sets, you can get another 40416. Should I take it?

From time to time there are good discounts as well. I've also noticed that some of the creator shuttles do OK after retirement. Was it ever figured out if 60226 is retiring? It was oddly the only Space set not listed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmpirate Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 So, can we can conclude if its selling at Costco its not retiring for a long time? (small short run inventories excluded) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kruppstahl Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Can someone please tell me what is going on with the UCS Star Destroyer and the new UCS MF? They have been "unavailable" at Lego.com for months now. They aren't EOL or going EOL any time soon are they? Is that simply a function of Lego not having produced enough to meet demand? I've heard that the sets are available in Lego stores. I don't have a store near me and am rarely in one, so I don't really know the atmosphere at a store these days. How are people buying these sets at the moment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How are people buying these sets at the moment? I was told months ago that LEGO was behind in production due to Mexico plant being down. Therefore, they were focusing on new product to get ready for the Christmas season. So if you're seeing anything OOS for months, it is most likely not going away. Of course, LEGO is really the only one who knows and can change their mind at any moment. However, the explanation I received was completely reasonable to me.

gmpirate Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Walmart tends to clear some sets earlier than other retailers. Think of all the cleananced sets they do well ahead of retirement. Of course it could be just error as well . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

$20 on joe vs dan Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 pretty sure after Holidays...we will all be looking around wondering..."what just happened?

All the behemoths with Lego connections will be rolling around in their piles of hidden retirement sets. it's not that hard to figure out...any set that hit 30%+ or more and has been around "awhile" will likely disappear. My wife is amazed at the reverse logic...sets with the biggest sale prices hit retirement and appreciate the fastest....but can be explained by the simple principle of major retailers needing to clear "old" stock for the new stuff.

Do you have an example of a set that was discounted 30% off and more that wasn't on the retiring list? I feel like I was bit behind this year on identifying decent targets. There are only a few sets I'd personally be very upset about going early thats not on the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great hall was clearanced at 40% and supposedly is sticking around a bit. However, see what I posted earlier from Walmart which indicates it is gone forevermore.
