Completed and mounted. Cannon alternates top/bottom lights. Happy to answer any questions or take different pictures if asked.

Or it might not, because limit 20 seems to be the new standard. But please guys, let's keep this thread limited to updates on retirements, rather than speculation. There are other threads for that.

21024 Louvre at EU SAH. 10249 WTS at EU SAH.

Well in Mexico this weekend was the Mexican version of Black Friday, it is called Good Weekend ("Buen Fin" in Spanish). It was established about 5 years and it is getting better each year.... people are caching up to the hype of a sales weekend and the business are competing more aggressively to capture the sales.... I got 4 Ideas Doctor Who 21304, I got them for $750 Pesos each, that is about $40 USD Each tax included.... also I found IDEAS Wall-E's 21303 at 56 USD tax included, but passed on those I have plenty, these were at a toy Store that carries Ideas sets, and obviously most people that love Lego in Mexico do not know. Also I bought 3 SW Slave 1 UCS 75060 at another store that had them at $150 USD each Tax included, not bad for a set that is not on sale pretty often. and also I got a POTC Silent Mary 71042 for $140 USD tax included... Not bad for picking them up at the stores and choosing mint boxes...

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.

NK and AB for you

Black Pearl and Queen Anne's Revenge. Paid a total of about £240, including Bricklink costs for completing them.

I'll pass on all of those, except that Temple. I really like that Temple.

Just some inside info I've got today. (I don't know if this is the right thread for that but let's try) Some of them are rather disappointing. 1. No More Millennium Falcons Delivery until end of the year in UK and probably rest of the Brand Stores across the Europe. The last delivery scheduled for Q4 (few boxes per store) was delivered to majority of the stores last week and yesterday, already gone in most of the brand stores (London is gone). If you are from other regions of UK call your local (or nearest) store to check the status to make sure whether they have it in stock or not. NO RESERVATION LISTS ALLOWED. 2. There will be NO Designer Launch Day for Taj Mahal, just a regular ordinary one without the presence of the Designer Team. 3. Christmas Toy Shop are gone from most of the stores without further delivery scheduled pick up one before it's too late! It's already retired and won't be back for sure. 4. THERE WILL BE NO (UNSCHEDULED) 3X VIP EVENT IN DECEMBER. TLG is already satisfied with the current state of sales in 85% of the stors, they don't have overstock so sadly no 3x VIP to boost sales this year. confirmed for those who are anxious about Black VIP cards, those will be issued as well in 2018 if you will call with such request CS. (at least in January) now I realized I forgot to ask about the legitimacy of the Diner (new Modular) set. ehh... next time.

Not really sure how they will perform in the long term, but too hard to pass up for $1.00. I was able to pick up 5 with in store pickup

My favorite premise is one I only recently became aware of. Apparently there were two characters in comics named Tag & Bink, and the idea was that they Forest Gumped their way around major events in the SW Universe. Ron Howard recently tweeted that he has put them as background characters in his new Solo movie as an uber nerd homage, and essentially making them cannon. Apparently one of their comedic / historic events was one of them hiding in Boba Fett's armor at the battle at the sarlac pit which explains how Boba would be so easily and stupidly defeated. Heck when he landed on the skiff it was like he didn't know where his wrist rockets were. He lands, fumbles around for a moment and then decides to try to trap a Jedi Knight with,,,,,,,,,a string? Why not the rockets? Why not the flame thrower? Maybe because he had never used them before? Totally silly of course, but neat.

Probably based on a pretty famous sculpt used on several collectibles. There was a book series called "The Bounty Hunter Wars" which describes his escape from the Sarlacc Pit and his adventures after. I was never a fan of the whole premise.

I can exclusively reveal it is a corner building.

20% off Lego at Walgreens. Which is about RRP, but sometimes you can get lucky =)

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

I prefer the $104 dance. For $150, they can find a different partner.

While others are selling at <£40.

RRP in the UK is 55 quid so it´s 50% off before any special Tabby discounts. It has been cheaper on Amazon UK but now seems like a good time to stock up.

Thanks for that one,but on reflection I think I would rather stick my baby maker in a meat grinder. But will suit someone I am sure.

I think there are a few people in Lego marketing and new product depts. who also have no idea of the current range.....

One retires, another comes along immediately. Temples are the Police Stations of Ninjago City.

I just love SCH.. so I googled around a bit and found this on eurobricks.com: Hi everyone, I was following this topic to get the latest updates, but I just found on 2ttoys.nl the following list: LEGO® Speed Champions 75884 Ford. 14.99 euro LEGO® Speed Champions 75885 Ford. 14.99 euro LEGO® Speed Champions 75886 Ferrari. 14.99 euro LEGO® Speed Champions 75887 Porsche. 14.99 euro LEGO® Speed Champions 75888 Porsche. 39.99 euro LEGO® Speed Champions 75889 Ferrari. 99.99 euro Delivery time 1-2018 Source http://www.2ttoys.nl/contents/en-uk/d227_Lego-Speed-Champions-bij-www.2ttoys.nl.html I expect the price of the cheaper sets to increase with a few euros. Sadly no photos.

no just that one, was always planned for that length

Who is going to order them from SAH at full RRP plus postage when they can now be found everywhere? These are candidates for the post Xmas sale.

Just for @Val-E 1 x Aaron Fox's Aero Striker 1 x Axl's Tower Carrier €81.50 cash, buy in €43, plus got promos on both. Nexo Knights, the low buy in that keeps on giving.

This years black friday is a bad joke... just 2 exclusives + boost, and lot of crap (which can be easy available for better discounts in other shops). And no one set from this horrible offer is retiring...

I love them, but understand. Of course, liking them or not has little to do with how they perform. I felt the first Burj Khalifa was utterly pathetic. It did quite well until the remake.

These are traditionally released in March so we need to wait a little bit more.

I wonder if they're trying to show a Kyber Crystal in that boulder? Maybe Rey builds herself a new lightsaber.

I had often thought of buying up hundreds of Big Ben's (even though the clock face could really have been done much better) and pitching up a seasonal stand on Westminster Bridge. £50 a pop to a passing tourist would be much better value than loosing the same to the dodgy Romanian mafia types fleecing passing punters with the shell game. ?

I just don't think there is anywhere near enough detail in the skyline sets. I just find them unattractive. Just look at 1 World Trade Center in the NY skyline.

Death Star 75159 is currently £299.99 at Smyths, £12 off click and collect gets it down to £287.99

Badass, man. Nice job.

ok will read through. thanks! no complaints no returns. they haven't even been listed yet. Looks like Sfcommando14 may be on to it. will read through and see if i can fix.

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...

The Caterham and Yellow Submarine were more than 15% off last time they went on sale so those are worth waiting for. The Ferrari F40 might be worth it. I haven't seen many sales on that one. The Old Fishing Store was around 25% off somewhere a month ago, I forgot, Costoc or Hudson Bay.

Jumping on them won´t help box condition.

A long deserved welcome, condor! About long as I have and that's saying something. Haha.

Due to the recent crime wave the LegoPD are in full force!

Seriously, give me a shout when you want to offload them.
