c666187 Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 I picked up two more on Thursday form, when Amazon had them in stock. Unfortunately one resembles a pancake. They have a seal code of 27R4 for those who are interested. Since they are sold out, Amazon offered me 10% off the total order. They have given me up to 20% in the past, but I am not going to push my luck. $270 for two is fair to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnwray Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 GE, HH, and Sopwith all going sold out and most likely retired. Gotta love it! Don't forget the Delorean. It's like the Great Extinction around here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bricketycricket Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Looks like this has been removed entirely from Toys R Us Canada's website. Not that there was much doubt, but I think this one's done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they still show clearly discontinued items, then removed ones must be REALLY discontinued. In all seriousness though, it was there last week as far as I can remember.

In all seriousness though, it was there last week as far as I can remember. listing removal means nothing. if they find some in their stock-room or back of any store they will bring the listing up. we have all seen that with the SSD listing that went away and keep coming back for more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Grimlock and Soundwave masterpiece Transformers disappeared from the site only to reappear another day. Soundwave did it once or twice, Grimlock has done it three times already if I'm remembering correctly. Who knows what they're doing with that FB listing, but it has clearly been left behind by accident at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legodelorean Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 (edited) So it's all sold out at LEGO Shop at Home and Amazon is still expensive. There is no back order date or anything. Is this done? Edited September 23, 2014 by Grolim Removed email link from S@H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinP Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 So it's all sold out at LEGO Shop at Home and Amazon is still expensive. There is no back order date or anything. Is this done? Maybe, maybe not. I expect the GE to be available for Black Friday and then it will go into sold out status until it's officially retired.

I expect the GE to be available for Black Friday and then it will go into sold out status until it's officially retired. They couldn't even make Tumbler to be available by Christmas and you are expecting them to do anything about GE? well, maybe they are managing existing stock (27R4) creatively...

I don't expect any to show up in stores, but I think that they will be available for a brief period of time on Black Friday/Cyber Monday. My guess would be for them to make enough GE to sell during that time period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trekgate502 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 And while we are talking EOL open speculation, I'm at 8 GE's and thought I was done, should I get more now from LEGO Shop at Home if you were me? I'm tempted to buy more, BUT I think I would rather stock up on R2 D2's in case it does go I am wondering if R2 D2 will perform better if you are looking at a 2-3 year window. I think I'd rather have 8 GE's and 8 R2's than 10 GE's and 6 R2's. I know everyone has a lot of variables in their decision, not looking for a thrashing, looking for if anyone is yeah yea for sure R2 over GE or for sure GE over R2 in personal opinion in why. Of course by the time you respond GE will probably poof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newbie77 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 SAH has grand emporium, expected ship date October 5, limit of 2. http://shop.lego.com/en-US/Grand-Emporium-10211 TLG and LEGO Shop at Home are playing the sold-out; out-of-stock card really well. all they have to do is put a sold-out; out-of-stock and directly and/or indirectly push that news. masses will be rushing to hoard the set. i am beginning to feel that while they are going to play this card and keep pumping out some sets, others are going to quietly vanish behind the scene.

Flemdog33 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 I heard that! Honestly i have had an account open for awhile now and got into it a bit more recently. I follow anything that has limits and don't ever buy a bunch at once except this one time. I never knew I could get banned on 7/30 when I ordered. After listening to some of the stories here I'm hoping that I am down on the ban list somewhat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sauromosis Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Anyone think that in the super long term this set could be worth more than Fire Brigade or Haunted House? It's a pretty impressive looking building. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedsausage Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Anyone think that in the super long term this set could be worth more than Fire Brigade or Haunted House? It's a pretty impressive looking building. I'd like to think so but from collectors point of view, what would be a priority? I would say every city needs a fire hall over a mall but the GE looks impressive. On top of that I think the TH will do well in the 2ndary for the same reason, everyone needs a town hall in their city. It's also a great spot for the delorean to hang out with the clock tower. :D 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
