That gif was kind of funny the first time.  After seeing it 6000 times since every set retirement occurs, can I just say it lost its luster 5999 retirees ago!

For me, Mr. Banderas will never lose that luster. 

I still don't get it.

IST sold out at LEGO Shop at Home.

Yes, happend in the last 1 hour...

This set was recently reduced from €14,99 to €10,49 at LEGO Shop at Home. Friends Butterfly Organizer, set 40156. Small exclusive LEGO Shop at Home set.

Managed to get 2 of them but ordered 3, so I called customer service about the one missing item in the shipment. The friendly lady explained it's sold out and retired. 

In the US this set is still available, and now also at a reduced price: from $16.99 for $13.59. Retirement in US/Canada is imminent.

It's sister 40114 Friends Jewellery Box (already gone from EU Shop at Home since June, not even listed anymore) seems to have kicked the bucket on the US LEGO Shop at Home site as well - now Sold Out. I've got a fair few of those as they had good bricks.

I totally missed that set! Typical under the radar sets that people here don't talk about until they've gone EOL.

Yep. Even at my LEGO store you had to ask for this set, as they held it in the back room, not on the shelf at all.

A bit like the post-promotion sets that John Lewis sell off for pennies if there's any left over. I remember the Duplo Giraffe for 3p so I emptied the 2 baskets near the check-outs! I had some funny looks but, didn't care. £3 ain't bad for 100 polybags and I just give them away as sweetners and 20 went on Hallow'en night to polite trick or treaters.

Does "under the radar" mean that NEXO will skyrocket?

Only have like 6 of these. I need more. I think it's a great 30 dollar set. If hulkbuster isn't in the new movies it will be a winner. IMO of course.

Not in US yet.

these were kinda mass produced to the point that theyre still in pretty much every retail store you go to....

Yes, but sales volume matters. Plenty of Ultra Agents sets were "hard to find" but still collect dust well after retirement. I don't think Hulkbuster's returns will be meteoric, but sales volume does matter when it comes to the liquidity of Lego sets.
