Don't worry, this is not the end of this set - it will come back...

Despite this it will make its way as nobody has really horted this set so far due to S&H limit...

Dunno, 9 months is a fair inning for a non licensed Ideas set. 30 or so listings on EU ebay at the moment and it´s been selling well above RRP. Let´s see what happens.

We may have some small top up but I don't really believe in this. This set is done.

A few of us have managed a fair inventory.  I'm at my goal of 50 sets.   The 9 month life was predicted back in January on release, now for the fun to begin.  

Prices on German ebay are already way up. BIN offers start around 70€. One set already sold for almost 80€.

Observing this I wish I wouldn't have postponed my planned purchase until the start of the Gingerbread House promotion.

based on all the conversation in this thread, I went to a few TRU's last night and bought a bunch of Lego Birds sets for 35$ after 10% TRU card discount + 20% off TRU coupon that expired yesterday.

I think this will be one of those sets that does better in Europe - it is just so much harder to find over here and was OOS so long on SAH too. The UK would seem to be the strongest market for it.

I am hoping that lego brings out some different birds...kinda makes it a mini series.

TLG excel at bringing out licensed sets after the prime demand period for the theme. GBHQ is probably the most exaggerated example.

I guess it AB tales off we can MOC our original Birds to be nastier!

UK is animal lovers country. And birds are high on the list.

I was thinking more that C4 will show endless repeats of the Secret Lego documentary that kicked off all the madness - RI version 2015.

I'm thinking the documentary had something to do with it...

Well, with those 3 actors you would need binoculars to spot any laughs in the vicinity.

I think you misspelled telescope.

It´s the autocorrect. You don´t want to know what word it changed to "actors."

I think we can safely say that 21301 Birds has flown the way of Retirement.  

Remember last year with RI? It was sold out and came back a couple of times over Xmas so we can only say it is retired for sure when it is retired product and eliminated from the main web. I think it is done, though.

The price seems to be jumping on them. I can't find any at retail prices that ship to Australia, or are for sale in Australia.(at retail prices) . I only got 4.

What do you expect? With no large chains having stock to keep the price down, SAH limit 2 if not sold out and a lot of investors poo-pooing it and maybe now regretting that, the price is only going in one direction. Back atcha Ecto 1!

<--- is now regretting it...

and wifey always said it would be a good set for investment...
should have listened to that, should have listened to that.

soo question for my Euro bros and gal pals... All the Toys R Us's in my area are stocked full of lego Birds... If there is a 20% off coupon I can get them for 35$US.  Should I buy them all?
