Great! just got my two in mail yesterday!

Thank you...My source was right again. Watch the prices explode!

 

Does your source have anything else to say right now? 

The SSD is retired! Woo-hoo! Now to watch the prices climb toward the sky.

Dare to lock it right now?

waiting for fuzzy's rebuttal ( if he got one )

Now I feel much better about buying Tumbler as a birthday gift to self. 4 more SSDs should be arriving today from TRU...

Is it worth buying up the few that are at 650 on ebay

I'll have to ask.  I don't want to get them in trouble.  They let me know stuff when they are comfortable releasing the information.

Now is the time.  A year from now they could be double that.

page is back in lego with "RETIRED" tag

FREAK OUT MODE

Nice. I only got 2 SSD like ever... knowing I'm moving soon, I limited my buys. Though I did argue that shipping is actually not too much compared to the potential profit.

Ssd is retired all! Let the prices inflate!

 

BOOM

That makes me smile [emoji3]

This is great news for LEGO Investing in general.  When you know these sets WILL RETIRE, it makes investing in other sets that much easier...and worthwhile.

Are you speaking of withholding certain things?

She can't withhold from this, however she can nag like nobody's business.

RIP 10221 Super Star Destroyer, 27 Aug 11 - 18 Aug 14

 

Just shy of three years

 

Side note: Any other sets updated with the Retired tag?

Wow. I honestly did not see it happening like it did. I will have to change my strategy on exclusives a bit.

Do not lock this thread!  We need to discuss appreciation over the next few months.

Well played

 

Gobble them up if you were on the fence boys.

Wouldn't it be wrong thread for that?

Good.

 

Here's hoping a good inflation for the Holiday season.

The SSD rumor can also be a bad thing.  Let's say there is an SSD and Han Solo is the Captain/General/Admiral...whatever.  Maybe LEGO says, "Hey, we should still keep producing these things."  

If it helps at all, there have been rumours that both Darth Vader and Emperor Palpatine will make appearances in Episode 7 in the form of flashbacks.

 

one of the protagonists are a group called "The Inquisitors" who serve the Sith.

Along with a nugget that perhaps Palpatine had been training an apprentice to take over for Vader if the plans with Skywalker had fallen through.  

 

If they are doing flashbacks, they could conceivably re-introduce any person/ship into the plot.

Carrie Fisher's daughter (Billie Lourds)  may player Leia in flashbacks

Wouldn't it be wrong thread for that?

 

"and other topics"

My last SSD will arrive today.  Perfect timing!

 

Special thanks to Ed Mack for encouraging me to buy my first one back in April.  This set was originally off my radar but could easily turn into my most profitable set.

 

Also thank you to No More Monkeys and 33Lego for posting availability throughout the year. We all owe you for this!
