I'm going to go against the grain and say that there's positives to this set. If it does retire then the fact that the newer Creator vehicle's RRPs are so much higher than the T1 should give it an automatic bump, where people see the value in it.

I was cool with getting my money back and even squeezing some profit out of them.  Hopefully they get discounted before they go off into the sunset to stock up again.

I know a guy who can make you some holo-style stickers you can place in the lower left hand corner. Guaranteed profit.

They'll be worth less as they don't have the 2 extra white 4x2 tiles ?

Anyone have any thoughts on the Volkswagen T1 Camper Van 10220? It is a 2011 set and possibly going EOL soon.

 

I refuse to open one for personal build. And that’s why it won’t retire.

I know as soon as I crack one open it’ll retire.

Don't do it. As soon as you crack open one it'll retire.

Here's the Vegas odds on retirement this year.
VW Camper 150-1
Death Star 1500-1

good post. do we have a speculative retirement thread yet?

We'll witness history this year. It will be an even decade & we can finally see it go. I hope there isn't an alternative universe where everyone lives 10 times longer & where T1s lifespan is 100 years.

^ I have two arriving tomorrow (one for me), so let’s hope 😂

I have bad news. It will relaunch 2021 in the STAR WARS line.

Sadly, that line reminds me of the opening of TLJ. “I’m holding for General Hux”

Is this set still slated for going this year? I thought I heard someone mention something to do with john lewis and the fact it will still be there next year.

Don’t get your hopes up but it looks like maybe, just maybe, this set is officially done and out of stock everywhere

It's back in stock (limit 1) at LEGO Shop at Home. Cheeky gits waited until the sale was finished...

Not in US

the beetle and camper van were out on a table at my store (camper van on sale) they said very clearly they are both retiring

This set was released in 2011 and we know that the last digit of the seal codes on sets represent the year. So what will they do next year to avoid confusion about the production year? Just not care about it and re-use the codes from 2011? Finally retire the set? Or retire it and bring it back with a new set number like they've done (for different reasons) with some other sets?

The seal code is for when it was produced, not released. Lego doesn’t have 10 year old stock lying around. The only 2011 seal code “1’s” reside in BPer vaults.

This set never retired before since it was released. Lego changed the box a few years ago.
