My wife found 2 Stage Coach sets for $18.99 at Ross. Usually stores like Ross and Marshalls (at least in my area) do get some of their toys from local Target (and maybe Walmart) and the items are near the end or past their normal retail life.

Think this is an indicator to sets are near retirement?

It could be. I have seen some small sets in Matshalls in the past, but I do not know if they were close to retirement or not.

Possibly. We all know the movie tanked big time (one of the largest flops in history). The sets up here where I am move very slowly from what I can tell. If they aren`t retiring now (hopefully they do in the next couple months) I`d bet heavily that they will be gone by spring/summer next year. More likely spring. Would be very surprised to see them sticking around past that. 

They only LR set that seems to be moving in my area is the stagecoach...the others are pretty stagnant

Who Knows, I found two 7347 Highway Pickup at Ross three days ago @ 44 USD each......

Same here. The Stage Coach always seems to be sold out at all the store I visit, the others are just sitting on the shelves.

Speaking of TLR sets, all 3 Lego stores in my area have the Chase Train on display now, along with Horizon Express sitting side by side.  I think they used to have the entire TLR theme on display for about a month when the movie just came out but have taken it down since then.   The 4 TRU stores I went to yesterday still had a lot of TLR sets on the shelves.  The Chase Train, even discounted at $64, wasn't moving at all.

That`s a great price. I`d buy them all at $64. Nice set but hard to pay the $130 MSRP up here for one. I will not do it. Stagecoach will likely be a solid investment, but the question I have to ask if how much are people going to be willing to pay for if down the line? MSRP is $30 US and $40 CAN. Decent prices, but how much higher can it go before people realize that they really aren`t getting a good value anymore? I see it hitting $50-60 in 3 years or so (maybe a bit sooner) but that`s it. Unlikely someone will pay more then that for one IMHO, if it goes that high at all.

Yeah see this is why I decided to pass up the TRU sale in favor of the inevitable clearance of the LR sets thats coming. Every Target, Walmart, TRU and Kmart in my area has a minimum of 5 trains on the shelf and my TRU has 8+ even with the 50% off. 50 bucks for the train, thats when I'll bite...

Once they hit Ross, Marshalls and TJ Maxx it means retailers are salvaging them (getting rid of them because they either bought too much or are crappy sellers).  Don't worry, you will see plenty more of LR hitting these stores.  They have been HORRID sellers in the retail market.  Look for galaxy squad and LOTR/HOBBIT soon.

after visiting the store two times and having it in my cart once I end up not getting a train, third visit last night to go back and use a coupon and they were all sold out. I guess I'll get one after christmas.

was at Marshalls today cause my girlfriend loves to shop there. I haven't seen Legos before at Marshalls, so I was a little shocked when I saw the train. the LR train for 76.99, and I wouldn't pay that as amazon is 72.

Haven't hit a Ross since I quick flipped a couple Optimus Prime Kre-o sets I got there a couple months back at 30 after paying 11.99 plus tax. I'd buy LR from there if they have it, but it's going to have to be a significant discount.

I'm trying to remember if I even have a Ross or Marshalls around me. I never need to go through places like that on any kind of basis so why would I? I agree in anything there would have to be at a steep discount before serious consideration.

Sets heading toward EOL in the UK often end up at TK Maxx and Home Bargains.  I've not seen these there yet.

According to Brickset, TLR 79106 (Cavalry Builder Set) is retired since earlier on this month. The rest most likely soon to follow? (In the US)

Product page just says "Sold Out". It could come back; you never know.

Or it will unexpectedly retire.

Maybe there is a trickle down effect starting to take place. Kohls advertised a discount on Lego (among other brands) in store, but I didn't see ANY lego sets on the shelves. Still haven't. All I've seen are those Brickmaster Castle books/kits, which I haven't seen anywhere else.

Amazon has the train for $66 currently. Seems like the end could be near. $66 is such a good price....

You know what would be an even better price? $66.66 :devil:

That's exactly what I was going to say. I'd still buy all they have.

Nah, that extra 6 just makes it super evil!

20% off the train at LEGO Shop at Home UK before selling out so it looks like it.
