...and people with poop avatars being critical of every move.

When we hit January 1, I'll restart this thread with those "rules" in place. And we'll keep it clean so it's just the set and the retirement date (and the region), along with a screenshot. Otherwise, the post will be deleted. I will even sticky it to the top of the forum. Carry on until then.

Thanks for your vigilance and keeping us up to date, but Out of Stock on LEGO Shop at Home goes into the "Retirement Speculation" thread; This thread is only for when the LEGO Shop at Home page says "Retired Product". Just trying to keep it clean (the mod on this thread used to be quite strict, I guess standards are slipping ..... ;-) )

Creator 3 in 1 Sunshine Surfer Van (2018 set)

Just putting this in here for posterity. This was last night & Amazon stock lasted a little over an hour.

Looks like the new 2018 City theme is Gold Mining ! 60186 - Mining Heavy Driller 60188 - Mining Experts Site ---------- Just noticed that the new roller coaster track elements are also used here as mining-cart track ! NICE!!!

It already was $25, at TRU a few weeks ago. If you want one/dozen i suggest not waiting for further discount.

Must be an EU thing...it's over RRP in the U.S. and I'm getting ready to sell the last of mine for around 2.5 times my buy in.

Stay on topic peeps or else.. Just keep the posts to set number, set name, & S@H country

Don´t let the cat out of the bag - I feel T1 is a hidden gem and now everyone will be buying it. It´s a remake of the first model. Lego are now masters of self parody.

Dual Helicopters?!?

I’d be worried about where they are mining if there’s a glow in the dark spider. I’m not into mining but they sets do look nice. Good designs. So I’m impressed with that. I see some creativity back. The rollercoaster track and the mine car excite me - a rollercoaster must be coming.

Not on mobile.

With limit 3

Thought they both were price matching toysrus.com?

Palace Cinema at Amazon for $104.48 (30% off) https://www.amazon.com/LEGO-Creator-10232-Palace-Cinema/dp/B00BFXP3G2/ref=sr_1_1?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1511132056&sr=1-1&keywords=10232 Can someone add the referral link?

Here’s my Winter Village Display this year - enjoy!

#powersellerproblems I sold off my 2, and there are definitely no other copies anywhere Oh, and to stay on topic (and keep the mods happy) I bought one of the discounted PCs from Amazon for myself for Christmas.

Quite a few with SYW points + coupons + discount/clearance + discount gift cards. Or Meijer points + coupons + clearance. Or B&N clearance + membership discount + discount gift cards. Or Target and Walmart clearance + discount gift cards. There were 30+ Minecraft Fortresses that hit 75% at Target in my neck of the woods before factoring in other discounts. Those aren't the only ways I get sets but this isn't 2015 anymore, sometimes profiting on LEGO requires more time and effort than waiting for the deal of the week, price match races to the bottom, or price mistakes.

without sacrifice there can be no victory ..... you sir are a knight

dammit I need to finish checkout before posting that

Fight for victory to the last, brave Resistance soldiers!

No.... he will say he bought them to use as gifts.

So, a year from now will we all be complaining about the lack of appreciation of these two over hoarded sets, except for Tabby who will sold them for 2 quid profit per item within a week to the local school?

See, if we only had Brown Bears wandering into our mining facilities, would be so much more believeable then.

Those darn Europeans, they don't like real life occupations.

Hmmm. They seem to have completely ignored reality. Purple skis and gold ski poles is not a combo I've seen on the slopes. Snowboarders more likely to wear hoodies, skiers more likely to wear a colour matched outfit. Also never seen a snowboarder wearing a scarf.

In store only most likely if it works at all. Original poster on Reddit had a pic of his receipt

Someone has posted on Reddit that the free santa poly with $30 lego purchase at Target is actually coming up free with any lego purchase, even under $30.

Yes, I believe so. This was the case for previous codes on Rakuten.

The chances of the new Taj Mahal reaching $2000 in any time frame is pretty much zero.

Ok, both of you take a chill pill

15% off everything ending with a 9 just today. Can't find much worth buying aside from the Simpsons Kwik-e-mart.

Benny's Spaceship

I first read it as Outsiders and then I noticed it is a Marvel set

If I were a 7-year-old girl I could probably write a storybook full of differences between them. All I can see is some that will make money and others that won´t (the orange one that everyone has 99 of).

Like getting Amazon to sell and ship our Lego for us?

1st wave Elves sets were generally poor performers so resellers probably gave them a wide berth after that. PLus some only had 6 month lives and there were supposedly richer pickings in classic lines like SW IST or Final Duel. 2nd year and 3rd year sets retiring this winter will suffer as resellers are now aware and have been stockpiling. We just have to see if there is enough demand for them to go around now or not.

Could it be that the the appreciation is not based on some "spectacular" design" of the first wave sets - but simply the fact that as a new line not many ppl saw it as either viable or worth investing in? because in my opinion many of the last year sets are visually pretty nice as well

First Purchase only, not for seasoned Jet-Setters

I was told by a Lego store employee who I've gotten pretty chummy with over the last 3 or so years that the discount will be at least 30%. He has been wrong before but if he's right it's a sweet deal if you can show up early on Friday. Free nutcracker as well. Totes available too.

Doesn't appear to be the case....

Until orders are delivered next week.
