tacsniper Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 How are you guys predicting production base on seal codes? Does lego have to produce the set for the entire year once it enters week 1 of a new calendar year? I am sure they can pull the trigger at any week of the year if they want. Quote
Ciglione Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 (edited) How are you guys predicting production base on seal codes? Does lego have to produce the set for the entire year once it enters week 1 of a new calendar year? I am sure they can pull the trigger at any week of the year if they want. Theoretically: They could have stopped production already last fall. Just they scrambled the last parts and pieces and packed it all in January. Edited February 21, 2015 by Ciglione Quote
Val-E Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 Pure guesswork ,mostly. A recent code doesn Quote

Val-E Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 (edited) The last 2 pages of the thread mention sets purchased with codes from week 51/14 3/15 and now 5/15 and I guess they pack more than 1 box per day or it might be because I am dating a girl whose friend works on the production line - choose whichever seems more coherent Edited February 21, 2015 by valenciaeric 2 Quote
tacsniper Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 Very interesting. Learn something new everyday. If only we have better ways of tracking seal codes instead of reading pages of forums. Quote

king156 Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 anyone think this will go this September realistically ? Quote
GhostDad Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 It'll go by late Fall. Unless PC hits limit 2 before then, in which case PC is the one to go (like TH). Quote
makr Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 anyone think this will go this September realistically ? There should be a good chance. Give or take. Quote
Veegs Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 anyone think this will go this September realistically ? I wouldn't be too surprised. If rumors of a new modular float around by the fall it seems likely that one existing modular would go OOS in the 4th quarter. Now, if the rumors are for a new corner building then chaos ensues, as investors probably would lean towards it replacing the PC. We'll see. DO rumors started to gain momentum before it was announced, so we should hear some snippets in half a year or so. Quote
MartinP Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 anyone think this will go this September realistically ? Maybe. My guess is that it will go OOS in October due to the double VIP points. Quote
Yinchuan Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Maybe. My guess is that it will go OOS in October due to the double VIP points. or possibly in March with double VIP. Which way will the hoard turn? Quote
BrickDesign Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 The Pet Shop is currently "Out of Stock" on the online Lego store in Ireland and states an expected next shipping of March 17th. Does anybody think this suggests EOL? Perhaps there still plenty available elsewhere? Also, what makes people so sure to expect the set to last until September or later in the year? I have yet to find some evidence in relation to this growing expectation. I'd better find out more about these "seal codes" I guess. Quote
MartinP Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 or possibly in March with double VIP. Which way will the hoard turn? That could possibly happen. All you need is a rumor from a "reliable" source and it could sell out in March. Quote

I have yet to find some evidence in relation to this growing expectation. I'd better find out more about these "seal codes" I guess. The reason people (like me) think it will last is because we just had 2 modulars retire, and would expect the next modular building retirement to wait until the end of this year. 1 Quote
Ciglione Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 In Europe... Lego clearly has taken back control on the distribution. First the physical and online stores are out and then Lego will be the last resort to get this set. They will put it on a ration card and if you are lucky you will get one last one from SaH. I believe this is the way to go from now on. F5-days are behind us. At least for exclusives. Quote
davem1111 Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Very strange on my package today from Lego, besides outside packaging being destroyed,package came from Hamburg?? Quote

Yellowtot Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 no panic yet we all have until November just chillax Quote

Kinda weird, German LEGO Shop at Home always ships from Cologne. Did it possibly pass through Hamburg? Maybe their B&Ms help fulfilling online orders, but haven't heard about that yet. Quote
