Alpinemaps Posted November 23, 2014 Posted November 23, 2014 At the end of the day, both R2 and Arkham are iconic. I don't think we'll see another Arkham for awhile. I won't hit Ed's numbers, but I will make sure I hit my target on this set. Quote
Achilles Posted November 23, 2014 Posted November 23, 2014 I admit, I am bummed about this. I was really hoping the AA would last until after the holiday season. I was planning on loading up heavy on these. Quote

Yeah but Ed doesn't have 2,368 mixels and percentage wise those things will beat AA and R2 for awhile! 1 Quote
xeeeej Posted November 23, 2014 Posted November 23, 2014 AA sold out at Target.com, at the inflated $223.99 price. Yikes! Quote
justapilgrim Posted November 23, 2014 Posted November 23, 2014 Im a little disappointed that the hoard didn't clear out LEGO Shop at Home with double VIP Quote

Kenxxx Posted November 23, 2014 Posted November 23, 2014 A few days ago these were selling at MSRP on ebay. Now moved up to ~$175-$180. Hmm. Quote
Ciglione Posted November 23, 2014 Posted November 23, 2014 I am happy I am near my target with this set. Wanted 5, have 4 now. I really like it and think it will do above expectation after retirement. Quote

Alpinemaps Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 Over on Reddit, they are reporting that AA is Retired on LEGO Shop at Home UK. I can't seem to show it as Retired, can anyone else confirm? Interestingly enough, Brickset is showing it as retired as of 21 Nov for UK only. Quote
Ciglione Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 Looks like it is done. Dunno about the US offcourse. Quote
meowsmeowsmeows Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 It shows as Sold Out for me when I look at the UK site. But, probably a precursor to retirement. I think the Brickset database automatically lists the dates when it was not in Sold Out status. Quote
mscheaf Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 I haven't seen any in my Lego store for months and they aren't sure if they will get more. But they still have that display up. I made sure to get a couple from LEGO Shop at Home during double VIP since I had never bought these from Lego yet, the other 4 I have being from various other sources Quote

Kind of surprised, I figured it would be around until the summer at least. It will be very interesting if this does go away right now, makes me wonder if Lego is going to a 2 year product lifecycle on exclusives. I can't imagine they would pull this set because of poor performance. Quote

Well, there is a rumor that chaos is coming... or winter... anyway "expected product lifecycle" will be outdated concept, according to certain hints Quote
marcandre Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 I could see them pulling it once the tumbler production catches up. One big batman set is probably enough. Quote
Nvpink Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 Just got the email mine shipped from Lego SAH Quote
lego rules Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 stockpiled mine up to what I wanted. Now I can sit and wait. Quote
