10188 - UCS: Death Star

Any idea when the Death Star will be discontinued? It's been around about 4 years...way past normal set lifespans in stores. Thoughts?

    Between this and the EU sold out fiasco , I have learned that many folks don't have a clear investment strategy . 

    Agreed.

    My point was : when someone invest in a "sold out" set they should keep in mind that it is not officially retired and the possibility of a restock or lack of will always exist ( SSD anyone ?).

    the fact that lego is making more shouldn't be a case for someone to regret such a big investment that they just made unless there is a massive and sustainable restock . PS had the same statement and we are yet to see any evidence of a big release. 

    Patience my friends .

    Stupid newbie question... I don't see the statement when I go to lego website. Is it not US site or was it up only briefly?

    Ok. Walk me through this slowly again .

    Sold out does not equal retired?

    Interesting theory since the "sold-out" status has been used interchangeably with being retired even on popular web sites and YouTube channels.

    Still just sold out. Does computer vs iPad make difference?  I've clicked through everything on screen and phrase not there. Obviously not doubting, just curious.

    sold out doesn't mean officially retired . Otherwise it would have just said retired . Pretty straight fwd to me .

    in most cases sold out is a prelude to retired so folks like to just go with that and crack open the champagne
