This thread is for confirmed "Retired Product" status updates as per Lego.com official website. I decided to create this thread as somewhere to keep track of confirmed EOL dates as per Lego "Retired Product" tags. Leaving the other thread for rumors and speculation (I have been through all 75 pages and pulled any confirmed retirement dates in to here). The "Retired Product" status can be found on Lego.com by searching for "Retired Product", this link should take you there: http://search-en.lego.com/?q=Retired+Product&cc=US Yes a "Retired Product" tag does not mean the set cannot be found at other retailers, but it is an official confirmation that the set is EOL (End of Line) at Lego and that future production and sales have been halted (there may be some exceptions to this and we can never say Lego will never ever bring them back). I'd like to keep this list updated and populated with any changes, so please post them (for the US based Lego Shop at Home only please). Because the Lego.com site does not have a date when a set is retired I have used the latest stock availability date as recorded at Brickset.com. On the Lego site many sets get a "Sold Out" tag and/or a "retiring soon" tag, then at some arbitrary time they get a "Retired Product" tag. If we think about it, the actual date of retirement is the date it goes "out of stock" for the last time. As such I'd like to start capturing set's "Sold out" status dates as well, but that can be a phase 2 project. So for now if you spot a new "Retired Product" post it below. This is a table of the most recent few months. Attached at the bottom is a full Excel spreadsheet with all the sets I could get from Lego.com. I hope you find it useful or interesting.

Just a warning to people: As of now, everyone knows about the Ebay breach. A sad thing that unfortunately comes out of this is all the "Script kiddies" who jump on the back of big data breaches like this to prey on people's fears and make a buck (a script kiddie is basically someone who considers themselves a hacker, but sort of does basic things to piggyback onto others exploits, or can only take advantage of an easy situation) SO, watch for Ebay email alerts, and especially Paypal ones. People will make fake emails (email is insanely easy to spoof and manipulate) saying "Warning your account has been breached!" or something of that nature, with a link to change a password. This can trick a lot of people into clicking embedded links that install code on your machine that can do all sorts of things to keylog and steal all your passwords, or install a crap load of spyware on your PC. So basically, I would watch for the following: 1. Don't click on or act on an Ebay message via Email. Only do it from "My Ebay". 2. Don't do anything with Paypal except from the Website while logged in. Sadly, stuff like this happens all the time and the people on the backend of a breach end up doing almost as much damage as the people who stole all the data.

I missed that..one more time? lol

Its 5 am, didn't know this part of the day existed but now I do thanks to my daughter

You can't hold a buyer's feedback "hostage" on eBay like you can on other sites, because you can't leave him a negative or a negative-sounding positive, period. So, you can either leave him no feedback or an actual positive (it can be something like, "Thank you for shopping with us" which is all I ever leave, I think the feedback that goes "Best buyer ever! OMG! I want to have his e-Babies!!!" is stupid anyway.) In the future, tell the buyer what it's actually going to cost in postage. Nebulous questions, "Do you combine shipping?" aren't helped by nebulous answers, "Sure!" I ask what items they're looking at, and I give them a total shipping cost before they bid. It takes a few extra minutes but avoids this very problem. Re his potential 8 negatives, depending on what he says, they may be eligible for removal. The deed is done for now, you'll have to wait and see. Edited to add: By the way, when I get warning that a buyer is overly needy and/or unreasonable, I generally add them to my blocked bidder list. It sounds like the warning signs on this guy may have been there with his many questions, so another thing to consider for future. If your spidey senses are tingling and telling you someone's trouble, listen to them.

Indeed, it is up to the official TLG Reseller Detection Device to decide:

Why would you cry at the end of T2 ? I give anyone a pass for crying at the end of Toy Story 3 though ETA: or yelling "HECK YEAH" after the President's speech in Independence Day :D

Shocker that a bunch of guys (not talking about this forum, but the haters in general) don't like a set aimed at little girls. From an investor's standpoint, i see great potential in getting 51% of the planet more interested in lego sets (and not just the princessy, or hang out at the mall and get our hair done type sets).

I can't even comprehend what the "news on the 10188 death star" thread is gonna look like one day.

Headline: major blow to agents of shield

Better than getting 'friend zoned'. :resent:

Called in. The guy said that it is just an indicator of stock running low for this run. I could have ordered if wanted to. He mentioned presence of ssd in recent catalog

I'm just picturing the scene from Night At the Roxbury where Doug loads the truck by throwing the flowers in....this is how they package a box? DISGUSTING!!! Will continue avoiding Wal-Mart and Kmart both on bigger set purchases.

Went into this thread expecting to see leaked episode VII Lego sets

I came up with a theory that this may be the next LEGO Ideas product. http://www.thebrickfan.com/female-minifigure-set-may-be-next-official-lego-ideas-product/

I Not to be rude but that's not up to you to decide.

And posts like this are why threads get closed.

Why in the world do I have to pay more money to not eat chemicals. How is it that for the same price I get sugar free oatmeal with 8 packets but tennis the ones with sugar r same price. U want organic or just not crap well pay the piper. Makes me so mad.

Yes but Yoda also skipped out on all his credit card bills when he fled to Dagobah. He didn't leave a forwarding address, just a dead hologram of Obi Wan with directions.

and that is why you fail. -Yoda

Shouldn't death Star come up as well? :-)

I love the fact that if you search for "super star destroyer" on LEGO Shop at Home you get the SSD and the A-Wing in your search results

Don't shoot down my baseless sepeculations with logic

If you missed it, it was actually "sold out" this morning. And if you call SAH CS, it is sold out at the moment

Stephenplays & MartinP, friends request accepted brothers!!! Now that was awesome!

I don't want to poo poo the set too much but I don't think this is going to lead into more female fans. They buy one of these, but what else would they buy? This seems like pandering and an answer to all the "sexist" comments about the Friends line.

Agreed. There are actually a lot of adult, professional women that I know that are all over this set. And at $20 a pop, it's a no-brainer purchase for their desk at work.

I'm pretty much doing ship to store on all of my walmart Lego purchases. I'm not sure if it propagates through their distribution network instead of going through a third-party shipper. But all of my packages have arrived at the store in great condition. Even those not in the original Lego cases.

based on science. there will be plenty of appeal. this is "woman power." pretty much, advancements made by woman. pretty cool in my opinion additionally, a set like is "key" for TLG's PR and Marketing depts. they must be thrilled beyond measurement. more info http://www.thebrickfan.com/female-minifigure-set-may-be-next-official-lego-ideas-product/

ok, I just bought one over the phone just because I got no self discipline

I don't think that is the sentiment on this set at all. People are just not talking about it because this one seriously has us stumped. It's a winner investment wise and everyone knows it. Some just don't want to admit it.

The amazon.com '2' is a purchase limit not their entire inventory for the set. Also- don't forget about the thousands of EDB sets in TRU shelves and distribution centers.

PVC Pipe-errific!

Oh ok, the only other thing I.would do is message people on brick link. There's a few on there that are used. You may get lucky and find someone who can provide the info

When you forget your expensive graphing calculator at home and are issued a useless 4 function one for your AP Calculus exam...

Also, I would really like to have the info about the number of bags each set has. It would make things easier when buying open box items. Of course, it would be mostly for recently released sets rather than old ones, since that info would probably be hard to get now. I know Jeff mentioned this as an option at some point.

Ok guys, go to your local library and check out Season 1. You will find that about 10 minutes in you are not watching Harry Potter.

Ok, here's a real one

Ah sorry didn't see that. I would honestly just go away from auctions because of that. Just so many things that can go wrong.

Plus Stephen is a cop in real life therefore he isn't afraid to pop a cap in your ass. :morpheus:

That's not a complete sentence since it has no verb or subject. "It was no problem" or "it's not a problem" would have satisfied your request for complete sentences. (Ok , I'm done being a jerk for now.) Sent from my iPod touch using Brickpicker

When you forget to stick toliet paper over a public restroom seat and sit on piss and crap.

We lost another bro in the Chima zone...
