No More Monkeys Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 And back to orderable... Anyway, I give up... it is gonna do that for a while I guess. So if you want one, and it is at "sold out", just check back regularly Quote

Yes I am starting to wonder how many of the Spaceman I am going to end up with and if I should start clearing some of them at the $20 each. Currently I plan to continue to accumulate and hold. 1 Quote

Currently I plan to continue to accumulate and hold. If there was any promo to risk holding, it's this one. The presentation of the box is pretty nice, nice enough to have the box on display. Worst comes to worst, if your holding a bunch of these and they tank, you could do a moc of an "Intel Pentium" commercial! Quote
dubzero Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 (edited) Back up for orders - shipping 9/22! Edited September 16, 2014 by dubzero Quote
GhostDad Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 Note re: Spaceman promos. If you get one with a backordered set, the Spaceman box will ship by itself in a bubble envelope. It doesn't pancake as nicely as Lone Ranger Cavalry sets, but you can expect some box damage. Getting it with an in-stock item avoids this problem (if you have multiple items you want, I would buy the in-stock items to combo with Spaceman and wait for a polybag promo to combo with backordered sets). 1 Quote
pharmjod Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 I had no problems with numerous Spaceman Polys shipped in the bubble mailers. No pancakes at all. The box is pretty durable and first class mail didn't crush. YMMV of course. Quote

Refer to spaceman thread, I have pics of today's delivery. Quote
teohwp85 Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 (edited) It's sold out again on LEGO Shop at Homehttp://shop.lego.com/en-US/Sopwith-Camel-10226 Edited September 18, 2014 by teohwp85 Quote
beatpoppa Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 Credit where it's due: A lot of you nailed this retirement date via numerous readings of the tea leaves. Anyone looking for proof that there are investors on this site who get forthcoming EOL times right need only read back through the last 3 weeks worth of these posts. Thanks to all for the heads-up; I owned 0 of these before 2 weeks ago but got 5 in before the ax fell. On 9/3/2014 at 12:13 AM, Tilted said: One of the problems with the Sopwith is that the box doesn't do it justice, I find it totally unappealing, whereas the set itself is pure awesomeness! Spot-on. Just built this - the articulation is phenomenal. I have a feeling I will regret not fully-stockpiling this set. Quote
boliramirez Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 well i just managed to get 2, but I have a feeling that we will see it a couple of months more.... Quote
LegoBuildingMama Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 I would've loved more but I decided to go heavy on HH. I got lucky and snagged a bunch from Amazon in early August at retail. I only have five of these, but I suspect it's a good under the radar set. Now I'm on to R2D2 and maybe a few more Emporiums. Quote

I'd be pretty surprised to not see another production run or two - I know it has gone in and out of stock a bit, but it seems too good to be true to have another large/exclusive retire right now.

marcandre Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 This is catching me off guard a bit. I have only been getting HH as far as long term holds go. I have a few sopwiths but way more VWs, I figured the VW would go first. VW could be rotting next to the Death Star for years to come. Quote

I really think it is done. No one else seems to be carrying it any more, I was told some Lego stores have a retiring soon sign and it is popping in and out on availability like SSD did. It is also over 2 years on availability. I predict its gone before Christmas more runs or not. Quote
ChristopherJB Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 Still available on TRU CA. Limit order of two. Get it while it lasts. This should easily see $200 during Xmas. Quote

But if you have friends or work for a Canadian company, have it sent to their address. Eventually, you'll pick them up. The TRU CA says limit is 2 but if you enter multiple orders, they still ship. They already processed three of my orders of two to the same EXACT address. Puzzling but why limit if they're allowing multiple orders? I have a feeling they're shipping it with the lego boxes. Whether this is truly done, I have my suspicion as it is still available in Australia and New Zealand SAH. Same in Europe and limit is 5. Quote
