And people in the US and people in Europe always fight over whether the item has really been retired, especially after it's first year out. Expand Just to clarify, i didn't say it never had a retired tag, all i know is that it had been completely removed from the website and is now back, just like the toy shop was and the Disney Minifigures have also been removed from the website although they are not back on . 1 Quote
Ciglione Posted September 16, 2016 Posted September 16, 2016 Is this the confusion 'Ed Mack' was talking about a while ago? This is not confusion. This is deception! Quote
Will 4 Posted October 4, 2016 Posted October 4, 2016 Can some one explain to me if its retired or not as its on the UK site with a limit of five is it a nightmare or is it true? Quote

Guest TabbyBoy Posted October 4, 2016 Posted October 4, 2016 Is this its 2nd resurrection in the UK? I was hoping to offload mine this year ;-( Quote
mudcatsfan Posted October 5, 2016 Posted October 5, 2016 I thought it was an open secret that Christmas sets say 'retired' during the summer months in the UK but are available elsewhere all year, then Un-retire in the fall. Hasn't this happened for at least 2 years previously? Not trying to make light of the situation as I'm in the US and hoped it would be gone by now too. But as her handmaids said to the Khaleesi, ' It is known'. Quote
Val-E Posted October 5, 2016 Posted October 5, 2016 First time it´s happened twice with the same set AFAIK. 1 Quote
feed Posted October 5, 2016 Posted October 5, 2016 It’s been available all year at JohnLewis so I’m not sure why anyone expected it’d go away this holiday season. Quote
Wildemar Posted October 17, 2016 Posted October 17, 2016 (edited) Call to check (US) - unleash the horde?! Edited October 17, 2016 by Wildemar Quote
LegoBro Posted October 17, 2016 Posted October 17, 2016 Over 200 listings on ebay. I think the hoard was already there. 5 Quote
iahawks550 Posted October 17, 2016 Posted October 17, 2016 (edited) It showed Out of Stock on SAH at 6am. Now back to Call to check? Edited October 17, 2016 by iahawks550 Quote
Guest TabbyBoy Posted October 17, 2016 Posted October 17, 2016 Plenty in the UK at limit 5. I'm hoping that it's done this year. Quote

Expand Avoid ANY set that retires first across the pond - see Imperial Hotel / Villa Savoye double from last year. Advance warning is never a good thing unless it´s for the SSD. Quote
legolegolego2014 Posted October 27, 2016 Posted October 27, 2016 Anyone seen these in their local LEGO store recently? I have not. Quote

No, I haven't. Strange. That's very good news as it means only available online at the moment. Here's hoping for retirement early 2017. Quote
Voltron Posted October 28, 2016 Posted October 28, 2016 In UK these are in Lego and John Lewis, both places had loads of them, it is a good seller though Quote
redghostx Posted October 30, 2016 Posted October 30, 2016 Call to check availability at LEGO Shop at Home, if you believe in this set. 1 Quote
