...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.

I understand that.. so in other words: would it be better if I hadnt post that comment regarding the local availability.. ?

They are all on "the list" and the list has not been wrong so far. There are just too many Minecraft sets around with new ones coming soon too and falling popularity for the game.

Thanks to @exciter1 and his recent post on the matter, I couldn't leave these two previously labeled turds on the shelf for 10% off... Going for $150 each on Amazon right now...

it is very concrete

Really disheartening. I kind of figured it would have been in with my Lego sets and crushed them. Maybe yours will be better.

Have at it. I ordered 4 architecture sets 3rd party from Walmart & they were the plastic film for phones. No lego.

I picked up 3 of them. Would have got more, but I've spent way too much recently and I need to close some sales first. Also had a £5 clubcard voucher that was due to expire, so buy-in ended up being about £11 each, I think.

Thank you on the Ferris Wheel deal.

No wonder the old one spent 6 months retiring soon.

My 41119 Cupcake Cafes were charged correctly...

I blame the difference between the US markets vs the EU markets.

They are doing much better than that, so far.

Jumping on them won´t help box condition.

I was told by an employee TRUST was coming back in late November, but since Lego is excluded it doesn't matter if they go TRUSMTWTFS. At least the points can be used on Lego again.

That's very classic of some of eBay seller. One classic example I remember vividly is of seller with huge lot (about 74) of 76006. I offered him 24,99ea. This was in 2015 if I remember correctly. Considering it was on sale for $14,99 from TLG at the time. $10 within 2 months. I thought it was fair. He agreed sent invoice. I paid and he got cold feet. Wanted to raise price. I said no. Order was cancelled. Hope he got better deal :). i got same number from someone else and moved on. have had lot of those especially when they are desperate to sell because they been in buying binge and in a fix but can't get over the fact someone else is buying and could more I have exit price for each set and once they reach the price u really don't care who buys it off of me. Resellers fine as long as they don't try to play the scam. my 0.02 if he got cold feet let him be. Leave. Unless it's one of those sweet really sweet deals I don't think it's worth it. Reason I say that is if that listing sat for days or weeks for that price there must be a reason for it. but it's just me. Don't want to deal with people who want to change deal after they have agreed.

Agree with this. Close your end of the communications by saying that you're looking forward to the lot being shipped as described in the listing and within the handling window.
