Two things I love this week: 1) Wife and I finally paid off our student loan debt...debt free except our house. (Promptly bought myself an Exosuit to celebrate) 2) Ordered a technical climbing jacket and shirt from Eddie Bauer (retail $270). They were both on sale ($134) and had an additional 40% off at checkout ($80). Apparently their dinosaur system couldn't actually accept my paypal payment, even though it said it could. I had to call to give a new form of payment. The CS Rep gave me an additional 40% off for a total shipped of $48. Booyah.

What a glorious day for those of us who are first generation Brickpickers (first wave of sets retiring since you started this mad game).

Once those creative towers start to come in, some BPers will have to agree to accompany their significant others to watch it...

Hi, I found BP Grolim's EOL excel worksheet a while back (posted 03 June 2014) and I have updated it with the list provided by xRebirthed, just wanted to give credit to my fellow BPs for gathering the data. I have made some tweaks to the original spreadsheet, you are able to filter by set category etc. for the most recent retirements. Hope it's helpful for some. Ummm.... *embarrassed* can someone assist me and tell me how to attach an excel sheet? haha NVM, figured it out EOL dates table.xlsx

Mine haven't shipped yet. When they do, you can flip my wife's marital status from "Located in warehouse" to "Waiting for new stock"

That is really something to celebrate! Well done! And people always made fun of Beavis and Butthead... at least they do not have student loans to pay off.

Edited

No R2-D2 on the list? It is coming back? heh

I'm not shocked. Think about it: any time the media has ever covered any story on something any of us are familiar with, when have they EVER got it right? I gave up on the fantasy of intelligent journalism the very first story they "covered" on something I had some expertise in back when I was 19. They're hopeless.

That never stops anyone else here...

Dude, since when you are not following daily Deal threads??

All my orders for the tower fun from last night are coming in as shipped..... Yes freaking yes. Ordered 35. Up to 17 confirmed shipped. Now to be greedy and pessimistic I should have ordered more but got tired of trying and failing. Only success 1 on like 15 tries. And thought this may be a mistake. Funny thing is my RI order from last week was canceled. And I know they shipped for others. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Brickpicker mobile app

************************************************************************** PLEASE REMEMBER THIS IS NOT A SPECULATION THREAD. ************************************************************************** i just moved around 20 posts from here to that thread.

Yes but beware, it's dangerous. You won't get my code !

This is amazing.

Actually per ashererin TH, R2 and HH need to be on the list too http://shop.lego.com/en-GB/R2-D2-10225 http://shop.lego.com...Town-Hall-10224

Something is up with Lego. We could perhaps argue that it would be hard to foresee the demand for RI... but the same limited availability on The Tumbler last year (plus hard limits), scarcity of Slave I and DO last month, and now this... I firmly believe there is much more to it all than meets the eye.

Said moment alone. It was lovely.

About a week ago I was at my local St. Vinnies looking for a new book or two. I always check the toy section and that day was no different. I grabbed a bag of LPS for the school and was just about to leave disappointed when a fresh cart of toys appeared. I squealed when I saw the employee throw a gallon ziplock of LEGO on the shelf. She giggled at me and said she had more in her cart. I ended up with five - gallon bags and a stack of 10" road base plates. The sad and funny part was when I went to pay for it the people at the counter were talking about a guy that was in the store earlier buying LEGO and asked if they had more. They told him no and then found these bags. I wonder what he got? I had a weekend project of sorting and detecting what sets I had. So far I have found and built a black monarchs castle #6085, Victory Lap Raceway #6395, Battering ram #6062, Sonar Transmitting Cruiser #6783 and I still have a huge pile of red and yellow pieces that look like more speed track sets by the mini figs. I paid $30.00 and have had way more fun than that. Lol. It floors me that I was able to build each set with only a few missing pieces. Ty for letting me fill your ears with old lady craziness. Lol it is so nice to have adults that understand. Lol

I ordered one today. Told my wife I was going to quick flip it (haha, totally going to build it )

Sad that the two leads on the show never seemed to Bond....

You don't need this. You need 3 of them hanging from the ceiling blasting away at each other.

Err, these interviewers were supposed to be journalist ? They came off as a bunch of clueless parents asking a manager of a LEGO store about the products. Where were the questions about future growth or plans or LEGO marketing strategy, .. anything ? Then I realized it was CNBC and the world made sense again

Couldn't help myself today:

Crap! Wrong thread, I thought this would lead me to a good resource for all the types of grey bricks.

Hi there, I'm a new potential investor from the Tampa, Florida area. I have been enjoying reading this site for the past few days. There is a huge amount of information, it puts any investing website I have ever seen to shame. Kudos for the good work. I won't bother anyone with any questions yet, I'm sure there is more than enough information on this site to answer all I will have. I look forward to lurking on these boards and picking up some of your experienced thoughts. Happy investing.

Ah, geez, uh......Trying my best here......

I placed 10 orders of 5 all in a row like clockwork at the $30 free ship price. Firefox worked better than Safari had to switch after a couple of orders.

So when is the US LEGO Shop at Home gonna get with the program and start putting up the retired tags? I think this is two rounds it's skipped.

word of a warning - last year Winter Village Market was marked as retired in Europe, only to be un-retired closer to holidays. We could probably assume Winter Village Market is indeed retired this time around. But Santa Workshop very likely comes back (especially given the demand picture)

Funny that another mod in bubble thread said 85% of forum content is worthless. Is this the beginning of Brickpicker Forum bubble ???? (There, I tied this thread with the rest of the forum :D )

Does he enjoy spankings?

Rotten Tomotoes has plenty and overwhelmingly rotten. I do like Leonard Maltin's review but then again he probably is the only film critic I have respect for.

Can't really see this set taking off in Australia, plus this set never seems to die, just wait till the next 20% off sale at Target and it'll be back with The Simpson's House and possibly R2-D2.

that might be the meanest thing ive ever seen you post bro...

Here is the list 396 items marked as retired on Shop at Home UK http://search-en.lego.com/?cc=GB&i=1&lang=2057&m_sort_menu=itemname&pt=shop&q=retired&rank=gb_rank

I'm going to pass on these. I don't like these at all.

Yeah but it probably should.

LEGO is expensive and has always been so. The president should have stated that premium products require premium prices.

They're not journalists, let's be clear.

Yes, a number like 5S03. And thanks for that wonderful comment, it made me laugh out loud.

Corn dogs man, corn dogs...

Buy a postal scale. Oh and some stick on shipping labels. Find a clearance set or two and go through the process. Buying is the fun part, post it, sell it, pack it, and ship it. Do that 10x then evaluate how much you like it. If so then proceed, if not you can jump out without having too much tied up. Please don't just buy a bunch of stuff thinking your going to make money. Hustling is what we do, and it's not easy. Sent from my HTC6525LVW using Brickpicker mobile app

Considering the wife is begging me to go see this poor excuse of a film on V-Day... I simply replied, "I'm out".

It would seem that a lot of overthinking has gone into this discussion. Business smarts would say that sets that are poor sellers retire sooner. TH, poor seller, not available. T1,great seller, still available. DS, great seller, eternally available. Why stop producing something that continues to sell?. As modulars continue to grow in popularity and continue to sell to new buyers, I can see continued extending of set runs beyond the "norm". No outliers here, just common sense.

Do you prefer the old one ?

Mine arrived from Amazon. Some slight box creasing, so I complained and got a $40 credit. Not much else I could do since out of stock. But, no bubble wrap or air pillows. It wouldn't have been that tough to do.
