I think it will be restock later on in November...

is there any history of LEGO producing calendars late Nov into early Dec? these have a use by date of dec 1st.  not sure why they would allocate resources to making more, unless they are already on the ships/trucks.

Regardless of history, it wouldn't make sense for them to produce these past 11/15.

It makes no sense to produce a bunch more perishable items at this point in time. Production takes X amount of time, Shipping takes Y amount of time and hoping to sell enough to make an entire production run profitable in 27-(X+Y). Because They're not going to spin up production to make 1/2 or 1/4 batches of something seasonal when they've got to get January 2016 product on pallets. Sure there's a lot of these out there already, but LEGO already made the profit that they calculated for them. Producing more eats into their profit margin, especially if they have to put them on discount in 30-45 days to get them out of the shop before TFA wave 2 comes along.

I remember getting in late last year and scoring about 5 or so in late November, so yes, there will almost certainly be sporadic restocks, but they will sell out quickly. The key question is whether or not ppl have already heavily invested in these. I have only three but will be monitoring the situation to determine my next move.

The season of Advent begins on Nov 29 and continues into December. That is when you will see prices at their peak. What that top price is ... Who knows.

3p with 529 units on Sunday down to 63!!!!

Someone tried stashing a couple behind the city advents at my TRU. I saved them.

The nice thing about advent calendars is that they fit neatly in FREE USPS priority mail boxes... if you have to send them yourself, that is.  

And if it's not on the very top of the package pile, it will be crushed nicely.

At least these get opened, but still...

Good grief. Only way to compete is with combos.

Good grief is right. Now that the $39.90s sold, we'll have to endure 122 at $49.90 from the same seller

The priority mail boxes are actually very sturdy. Much sturdier than those used by Kmart, Target, Walmart, and Amazon.

I sent out 30 advents last year in the priority box. If you fill in the voids with kraft paper and tape up the corners real good it is a very sturdy box for it's size. I did not have one complaint

I have 2 walls, and I can wipe from both sides of the bowl, so this setup is going in on each side.

Sooooo......Day 4 is the Jawa. Looking forward to opening that day....er watching one of my boys open it that day.

needed a COS.

My lego B&M still had an ample supply. Combined with a few 40123, 40124, and 40125 for another train (which they said they're almost out of)

Number of sellers about to drop to sub 400. Pretty soon it will be under SW.  /

I noticed that the City Calendar now has a higher sales rank than the Star Wars calendar, fwiw (is that normal?).

Yes, as price goes up so will the rank . ( folks will look for a cheaper alternative if they can ) .
